I feel sad for him. 
No way I was going to take the responsibility of posting both CCC and WSO on a same day.
cheers,

That's why I emailed _Maxxx_ yesterday with the solution instead of posting it! 
And I only did that because he deliberately mentioned me when he posted it!

I would request you to continue to set it since I still don't know what I solved.
Reading the rules on the page you provided did not help me either.
I'm just not familiar with this FSO....W.

Don't you understand? Even the rules are obfuscated!

In that you are certainly not alone!
Essentially
1. Think of a word
2. Replace each letter with a symbol (so the same letter is always represented by the same symbol)
(in OG's case he used a word to substitute for a letter rather than a symbol - but he's special)
3. Give the symbols, the number of letters in the answer and a clue (again, as OG is special, the clue was in the question as it were)
That's it - search for some old ones to give you the idea.
e.g.
if your word was
Bell
your symbols could be
†‡ƒƒ
and your clue could be
Ding Dong!
It's kinda cool if your symbols represent your answer somewhat - but it is not mandatory!
hint - make it easy or you have to do another one the next day!

No, I used a Character - each "word" was the name of a fictional detective, hence a "character" in books, films, and / or TV shows.

No chance!
I'm pretty useless at them.
Have a look at yesterdays: http://www.codeproject.com/Messages/5119025/WSO-FSOW-September.aspx[^] - it's more traditional:
rFsinΘ
Six characters, so six letters. None of the characters are the same, so none of the letters are the same.
In this case, r * F * sin(theta) is the equation for TORQUE, which has six letters, and none of them are the same.
It's becoming traditional to give a clue at the start (Mine was the first and second names separated), then more clues after each hour passes.
Have a go! You can't be worse than me!

It did, and very well. Is there anything you can't do?

Loads of things!
I can't:
Sing. Seriously, people start to run away when I try - I was ordered to mime in Assembly at school...
Dance. Physical coordination is not a strong point here: I "danced like your dad" when I was young. 
Understand women. I'm married, goes without saying.
Climb trees. Really bad with heights. I'm fine in glass lifts and such like, but put me up a tree and I have to be rescued like a lost cat. When I have to go on the roof I hug the chimney pot until I can go back down.
But mental stuff I (normally) find pretty easy to pick up.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

I'm still impressed.

Are you less impressed if I admit I'm also terrified of spiders?

If it's any consolation I picked a spider out of the bath the other day with my bare hand. First time in 70 years.
