A similar situation(double agents-ing)but in another game. A player gave a list(uF usernames) to the "bad guys". In which most of the uF usernames were never used to contact the characters (OOG info).

So in relaying messages, proceed with caution

When we decide on a cipher to use, I'll volunteer to pose as a double agent on the forum, if that's what we're sure Thumos is going to do.

Also, would hiding the encoded message as base64 be too obvious?

Personally, I really like the Bacon suggestion assuming that there is a easier way to implement it. Since we may not have the luxury of the underlying HTML or the multiple font choices (especially if posting in a forum) we might need a way to do it otherwise.

Here's a good reference on two ways (one using caps versus lowercase and one using set range of letters).

The obvious problem with the caps method is that it's fairly obvious. Still takes work though, and might be enough to show desire to communicate.

Once the first exchange happens, an alternate cipher could be used with the key exchanged in another way.

This links doesn't have all the supplemental pages up anymore, but shows a variety of encoding techniques that could be applied to a Bacon AB cipher..

Although, another solution to avoid the font issue, would be to actually write a normal post, but have an off-site link to an image, pdf or word doc that could utilize the typeface staggering method. Gets you best of both worlds. Would be fairly easy to throw an image up on Flickr. Personally I would prefer a version with text that could be editable (even as a PDF which could be imported), that way you get 'see' the fonts differences in the underlying code if you knew what you were looking for as opposed to just doing it visually.

Given my last paranoid comments on twitter and the forums, I'm not well suited to turn into a double agent.

BUT, I'll gladly accuss anyone of anything, so as to make you look more evil:P
Maybe if Theo/Eli sees discussion in our ranks, they'll more gladly accept the double agent in their ranks...
