Can anyone request to become an observer?

We aren't actually being very diligent about including our observers on things, so you might not find it rewarding, but people who aren't playing and promise to be good secret-keepers and don't want to play Round 2 if there is such a thing could get told stuff.

Well, I gather that observers are being told who has which role, and that alone is enough information to make it rewarding as far as I’m concerned. If so, I would like to be an observer. I promise to be a good secret‐keeper!

Presumably you mean "and the public keys calculated from them".

(I won’t. I’ll just make you one, because I’m currently reading the section of Resplendence where Jarvis summons daeva, and I think I’d end up demonic. I’m also not sure if this kind of discussion is strictly allowed, but it doesn’t violate the spirit of the “no talking to the dead” rule so I’ll go with it.)

cbhacking mislocated this text in the game thread. I repost it here so it isn't lost, because it doesn't interfere directly with the game.

The correct tool for this job, in several important ways, is PGP/GPG (GPG is the free/open source version). It is less arcane than interactive OpenSSL, is actually intended for encryption (and signing) of messages, and has significant use cases outside of whatever you need it for here.
