Meeting Password
DISCLAIMER: DUE TO PROBLEMATIC DATA ENCRYPTION, SOME OLD DATA FROM THE 15TH SPHERE WAS SADLY CORRUPTED AND LOST.


Summary of Events

The CaD Twitter sends a coded URL and password for a soon-to-be-held meeting.

Restored Tweet

Unexpectedly, text was in fact not lost in data corruption. Well, not entirely.

(Tweet reads: Le grand meeting this Wednesday! For the honor and glory of the Cafe and Diner! French hors d'oeuvres will be served, limit 5 per person. #DinerDelight #CafeSpecial
Update: Due to chat room rules the password will have underscores and no commas.
Update 2: Just so there's no need to brute force on Wednesday, once you think you have the password shoot me a DM and I'll confirm or deny.)

(By the way, the password and link here are for some sort of chat room thing - the link's ending was 'in-the-text'. The password is mentioned below in the 'Answer and Explanation' section in case you want to solve it. However, the link itself - and the website used - was not mentioned, so.)

Answer and Explanation

Hover over to find the answer!
Answer: De_Salomon_lhonneur_et_gloire
Explanation: The mention of 'french hors d'oeuvres' hints that the password's french, and 'for the honor and glory' is a reference to a work made by François Villon, Auquel doint Dieu l'heur de Jacob..., in which a line is 'De Salomon l'honneur et gloire'.

Receipt

(Note: this is very long. It's actually long enough that I'm not going to add it as a transcript. Instead, it's here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gjIhzcoAX_Cc9BbYU181YVW6QjgqTnWM9cqipa4MUJU/edit?usp=sharing. If you want a condensed version, see CaD Meeting.)

Notes

This is basically just what was covered in CaD Meeting, but with more preamble and general meming around.
