whew, that was fun!

solved in about 2.5 hours over 2 days. the only thing i don't get are the final messages. are the messages from the 12 puzzles meant to be read together? i get that some of them have to be flipped, but the whole thing doesn't really make coherent sense.

in case it's just my fault, are the messages: [rot 13]

ynpxvat nal
qenjre (znlor erjneq)
v pbhyq
erivyrq (qryvire?)
v jvyy tvir
n
zrffntr
sbrpnegba (ab genpr bs?)
chmmyr erznvaf qb abg
nalguvat
abjhblqrffvzfnj (jnf zvffrq lbh jba?)

and i don't get what "sire?" means in puzzle 9

thanks for the hints at the bottom too, they helped me for puzzle 1! i found the theme but couldn't figure out most of the words until i realised what the words at the bottom of each page meant. i also don't get why there are 2 "zodiac" in puzzle 11. sure, it works but it's not that creative imo

You almost have the final message right. It just needs punctuation, the flips you listed, and the message from puzzle 10.

Do you know the theme of puzzle 11? That should explain the duplicate word. Aside from that, I thought it would be funny, and that using canonical lists of 12 would reduce frustration, especially for people from different cultures.

Oh, and SIRE is there because it would've been the 13th listing [well, the 0th listing I suppose] if there was room.

yeah puzzle 11's theme is "category" right?

i'm just confused because i thought puzzle 10 would be "astrology" or smth

and i just figured what FIREDNOW means. (i think i forgot to include it in my previous message for some reason)

i'm just confused about the messages from puzzle 1 to 9.
i know puzzle 10 to 12 mean "wonder if anything was missed? you won!" (or i think so)

Here's all the intended punctuation, some of which occurs mid-message: L_____ a__ r____ I c____ d______, I w__ g___ a m_____: N_ t___ o_ p_____ r_____. D_ n__ w_____ i_ a________ w__ m_____. Y__ w__!

ah, i get it now!

i was really confused on the message for 10; didn't expect it to be split this way. good wordsearch! off to playing stratagems :)
