I think we should make a 'Stupid People Who Can't figure out a Puzzle' club. I'll be the leader!

Haha...yeah. It's probably going to be something really obvious though. I looked up Etan and apparently it's a band or something..

So the clues so far are...

But clues! What do we have here already?

72

porcelainsweet
Supermal

We have a list of anagrams for canoessat
We know the password is all lowercase with no spaces.
The password may have something to do with Canada.

We have four alerts in the chat, one of which (the closet one) was in response to Penguin saying she had put him in the closet. The others claim that Sanctum is watching you, that Sanctum is the head of the CCF, and the last says ‘Sanctum Sanctorum’.

If you haven’t already, here’s the wiki link for Sanctum Sanctorum. In a few words, Sanctum Sanctorum = Holy of Holies.

In all three of the clues, there are certain words that are repeated:

cellar against nitrogen omnipresent evergreen seventy souls and two

Taking the first letter of each word, you get canoessat, which could be an anagram. See link above.

Occasionally, when you load a new page, post something, or send your browser to YWS, you get a black screen with bloodstains and a quote:
DEMONS LOOM ACROSS THE WAY. THE KINGDOM BURNS AT MIDNIGHT’S DAY.


Under that is ‘Sanctum needs you’. After a few brief seconds, the page flashes black and the good old YWS is back.

So there’s what we have, or most of it, any way. Any thoughts?

EDIT: Here be a list of dud passwords. If they have a capital letter, they were tried with a capital letter. If they don't, they weren't.

Sanctum is open now.

To all who were too lazy to participate in the password pre-game, including myself, jump on in.

Yeah, got rid of the password. Didn't seem fair when fifty people were already playing around with it ;)

For those wondering, it was the first letter of every third word (starting with the first). If I were to do it for the sentence just preceding, it would be: fifesf.

But, the seventy souls and two kept being repeated in entirety to give a hint that the last two parts was 72 rather than letters. If you typed in "canoe" you got a hint regarding that.

And concerning how I managed to write posts as a guest... I'm the admin with total godlike control over YWS so I can do stuff like that ;)
