If I may be so bold, I've always considered cryptographers to be some of the cleverest, most creative people around.
Simply running a brief string of text through some online cipher script and posting the output as proof is not particularly clever nor creative, and neither is it "installing a secret message", in my opinion
This task is brilliant! Have fun with it -- don't cheat yourself and post something half-hearted just for 15 points.

I've retroactively done this task. I have put a secret message on this here SFØ website.
It's out there, it's public, and it's very secret.
Go try to find it.
It's not on my player page, any of my completed tasks or any of my comments.
The message is an invitation, a challenge, an opportunity.
As have I. But mine was totally on your player page.
Post your completion to your already done praxis.

My very first task! And I had great fun with it. Secret messages are often right where everyone can see them. They are just not recognised as such. With that in mind I immediately thought of a debate I want to start amongst my colleagues (educati...

There are secrets all around us, but the question is, "Do you know where to look?"

Upon reading this, i immediately thought of an ideal secret message deposit and retrieval area. A wonderland of secret happenings, where the message finder was very likely to be alone & have a moment to read. First, I did some reconnaissance, so ...

Well, I got to work today thinking, "Hmmm, what should I task today?" Open up the old SF0 site and think "YES!!!!!" Such a nice task, and easily doable. 1 hour later my code was safely installed on the message-board at the local M...

In which I ensconce some arcanity underneath the keyboard tray of one of my bosses' desks at the library. Story in pictures.

Recently I went back to my high school to work on the mural i had started with a few of my friends my senior year (I am now a senior in college - yes, i've been working on it for a while -_-). We were originally five strong, but have since dwindled ...
