  • Write a coded message to your partner using a code from your posted link. (This allows your partner to decipher your code without you having to include the code which would allow the postal spies to decipher it!)

Here are a few codes that you might like to use:

I will be using the code pictured in Ex2

Loonstruck 01/23/2015 #

I will be using Monoalphabetic Substitution - the pigpen code - as demonstrated in the Ex 1 link, number 5 example.

JaguarSnail 01/25/2015 #

I'll use the Pig Pen code in example 3

sherba31 01/27/2015 #

I'm going to attempt to do transposition #8 in Ex1

I'm sorry to have to do it but I'm dropping this swap. I don't feel I can do a good job between tomorrow and the 9th. If someone would like to do a private swap with this description, due around the 15th, I would love to do that.

I just checked the coordinator's page and she has not logged on since 01/22/2015 so I don't know if this swap will actually get partners assigned. Cool idea though for sure.

I sent her a message yesterday. Hope everything's ok. We can always set it up again if it doesn't happen this time :)

Hey folks! I am terribly sorry for completely neglecting this swap and leaving everyone in the dark. The swap will still go on! I have extended the sign-up until the original send by date (9th) or anyone who wants to jump back in. Everyone will have until the end of the month to send their message.

Code for me: I will be using the Monoalphabetic Substitution from Ex. 1 (#5 listed on the page).

AmookIslandCreations 02/ 6/2015 #

I will be using #5 from Example 1.

edgetorn 02/ 9/2015 #

I will be using the Pig Pen Symbol Code in Ex. 3

rngstgstll 02/11/2015 #

I am going to use Morse Code, because I have always wanted to learn it :)
