Ultimately, the pertinent fact is that the name Cedarian has no relevance so far in Volumes 1 & 2, nor the first issue of Volume 3.
The mystery of the introduction of the name on this board will likely remain unsolved.

I'm curious as if Cedarian is one of the four survivors of o.s.s - so far we had been given - the Curator, Andrew mccabe, the artist and one other . With the revelation Andrew Mccabe is now the editor - the one other would be a name rather than a title in my logical process .
Also that means we now have The Curator, The editor, the artist and Cedarian as the four surviving members .
The artists identity I suspect is the artist featured in this month's curiosities and condrundrums so that leaves us with the curators name to solve and Cedarian role ....?

Except nobody can tell us where they first saw the name. It's not a relevant name in any issue of Curios & Conundrums. It appeared in messages here, but everybody says that they copied it from somebody else. And my recollection is that there were two surviving members, not four.

The artists identity I suspect is the artist featured in this month's curiosities and condrundrums so that leaves us with the curators name to solve and Cedarian role ....? There's a couple problems with this theory. First of all, there were not four survivors of the OSS. There were originally four members (Anthony Dubois- The Professor; Patrick Morenson- The Artisan; Horace McCabe- The Architect; and The Curator). However, Anthony, Patrick, and Horace all perished at Petroglyphs Provincial Park. That left only the Curator, and Andrew McCabe (who, according to information from Volume 1, also held the position of Architect). With Andrew in hiding and the other members dead, the OSS basically ceased to exist, and (according to information in Volume 2) was reformed by The Curator as the MPC (although in honor of his deceased colleagues, the Curator gave their titles of Professor, Artisan, and Architect to the first members of his staff). Andrew is now out of hiding and installed as the C&C editor, but that still is only two surviving original members, and while one of the original titles was "Artisan," there was never an "Artist." At this point, everything points to the name "Cedarian" having originated as the result of an unfortunate typo or someone misreading a post. There is no mention of "Cedarian" anywhere in any issue of C&C from any volume or anywhere in the Sitting Room. Supposedly, the name came from a post on this forum, but if that's the case, that post has been edited or deleted. I really think that this is nothing more than a manufactured red herring born from a mistake, and the wisest thing to do would be to let it die and instead focus our energies on the actual puzzles before us.

I have a theory about Cedarian. A Google search of "gentlemanscandour" brings up two references on Twitter. One of the references is a posting by maybecedarian. It could be that be this was where it came from. "Maybe Cedarian?"But actually, I think this might just be a play off the word "abecedarian", which can either mean "alphabetized" or "newbie" depending on how it's used. A quick look over maybecedarian's Twitter history leads me to think that maybecedarian is just another puzzler like us, and that likely the word Cedarian itself doesn't lead to anything of note.

Yeah, I don't know if maybecedarian has been over here on the UF at all, but I know he/she post pretty regularly in the Sitting Room and is just another subscriber

You guys are killing me. If no one knows where Cedarian came from, why would you use this name as a reference for anything? The two people who were supposed to be added on Snapchat were Andrew McCabe and CURATOR. So has anyone gotten anywhere with the tags in the 3.1 article that's about snap chat? I searched for a bunch of people and did find someone called "curator" and "OSS" but nothing else came up. I also searched the hashtags shown on Twitter and Facebook to no avail.

The Cedarian did it!
Like it or not, the Cedarian is now canon.
