Y-San, I think you are right.

I'll guess at a couple of couplets Are either of these even on the right track?

Not to be excluded...

I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to respond to this one without it being a major clue. But whether this is within the realm of acceptability or not has a great deal to do with the specific nature of the device you have in mind. I was thinking of these but I think TL's guess is much more likely and certainly fits the riddle better.

1. Panther 2. Brainy 3. Phil1882 4. MollyMae 5. Framm 6. Flamebirde 7.Rob_Gandy 8. DudleyDude 9. ...

I keep coming back to this one but can't come up with anything

Guess for the new number 3

Feeling stupid, forgot to pay attention to the title...

A couple of guesses

Nicely done on the first chain TO. I had given up on it.

I'm still not totally clear on the encoding, but I am starting to thing the last 3 verses are broken into the first couplet referring to a letter and the last couplet referring to a specific "green" (arrow, goblin, hornet). The last clue (there's no...in..) reminds me of "there's no I in team'. I think the first two lines of the goblin verse (You won't find it in yourselves, but to express individuality it delves) similarly refer to the letter I (not found in the word 'yourselves', the letter used as a pronoun refers directly to individuality). I is the 9th letter and 59049 is 9^5. Similarly, I think the wordplay in the final verse's couplet could refer to W (twice intoned) and W is the 23rd letter and 6436343 is 23^5. I can't explain how "goblin" and "hornet" translate to 5, but I think I'd like to try those 2 keys on the 2nd and 3rd locks to see if they fit. If so, we could focus on the final couplet and see if we can make it fit for either of 'L', 'R', 'N' or 'E'
