It will be difficult for outside players to do this without leaking information through a third party. If there is a dispute, players will be required to decipher the message for the staff. I see it like this.

I'm not using any sites to encrypt and I'm pretty sure you're mixing encoding and encryption, I'm talking about using real encryption with plain text armor, it's not the same. Real encryption involves creating a PGP keypair and using those keys to encrypt the content of the message, only someone with the private key can decrypt such, and the private key also requires a password to be able to decrypt it.

If it's still unclear what I mean I can post an example here.

Good luck breaking elliptic curve cryptography. The whole point of this is so that people can't ever metagame nor be sanctioned for metagaming, because they technically can't.
