Welcome to the Forumfor the 21st National Cipher Challenge. After an epic adventure for the 20th anniversary edition we are all left wondering what happened to Jodie. Where is she, what is she doing and will she return? Hopefully we will find some of the answers this year, and Harry invites you to join him in the new adventure.
You can post comments and questions about the challenges, and share ideas with other BOSS trainees here on the forum. If you are new to the BOSS Cipher Challenge Training Programme then welcome, we hope to get to know you. If you are returning, then welcome back - it is great to see you again. Despite the serious nature of our business, BOSS aims to be a friendly and welcoming place to work, and to keep it that way we have a few house rules:
The Forum is staffed by Harry, together with members of ELF, the
Elf
League of
Forum moderators. Remember that the people you are talking to on the Forum are people too, even the elves. They have feelings, just like you, so keep it friendly and polite.
Above all else we want to keep you all safe, so please do not post, or attempt to post anything that could reveal your identity. Enemies of BOSS are everywhere, and they may even attempt to infiltrate the agency. Here you can be anyone you want to be as long as you don't tell anyone who you are!
For the sake of all that is sacred, please, please, please don't give hints, tips, or above all solutions to a live challenge without asking us first! This is an important security rule and we don't want it compromised.
While we are a top secret agency, we try to keep channels of communication open within the organisation, so if you want to post anything, post it here, so the entire agency can read it. You might be tempted to use other channels like Discord, but that is a breach of security and not the way we do things here.
Above all:
Be witty, be wise and be warm! Let's make the forum a great place to hang out.
