Woh, I took a look at that site, tried to watch a couple games, and have no clue how we're supposed to play.

AUZ has been creating a walk-through of sorts at. http://saveludo.wikidot.com/how-to-play-gxc
Play about 4 or 5 rounds of Political Bash '08 and read the team and game chats. It's really not very complicated after all.

Oh sorry, you are probably right. Stupid content categorization filters at work. Any way to change the page's content category to something other than "Games"?

I got an email from Matt Brimer at GoCrossCampus...the message is encoded as an Enigma cipher, with "ABC" as the settings. Currently cruising the net for an applet so I don't have to do the grunt work to solve.

Posting the comment from Matt that makes me 99% confident this is the Enigma cipher...

Speaking of Ludo, any thoughts on the latest clue (i.e. the code on the map)? We received it via email and put it up for the game as instructed, but the file was simply referred to by the Ministry as an "ENIGMA", in all caps. Strange, eh?
That seems a pretty obvious hint to try Enigma, but typing in the text we have using "ABC" as the starting settings doesn't seem to be working for me, at least with the machine's default settings.

I think we have the correct keys. I believe I'm transcribing something wrong off the page.

You should have played "Vengeance is their duty"
(even though it ended poorly)
