>The encryption/decryption argument:

I seem to recall a discussion about this back in the old days. I don't
recall the conclusion, but I suspect it came back to what's in the FAQ;
i.e. an encrypted message is considered unbreakable, except when it is
desired by the people running the current storyline to do otherwise. If
Mark and I agree that the next "Draig Un" message will be cracked, then
that's fine, it's part of our hypothetical story. But any old schmoe out
there can't just unilaterally decide to crack encryption, which means your
special codes are nonsense.

It basically means that all those special encryption codes aren't really
needed. If you really believe it adds to the special role-playing you are
doing and adds significant color to the story (which I somehow doubt), I
suppose then go for it. Otherwise, don't do it.

BTW, Mark, how'd you like my re-introduction of Draig Un? Seemed most
appropriate.
