Capital letters (other than ones that should be capital) are "BATASH" and maybe "SC". I think we unscramble that and then it's a vigenere?

I'll update later with more ideas

UPDATE: It's probably the atbash cipher!!
Using the atbash cipher I get "jimmybond"

I protect jimmy-bond because of the reasoning above.

The new sig says - 1: "What a fast thinker!"

Jimmy-bond seems like a good protect. Now that I think about it, he or she could be one of the sassies, as "What a fast thinker!" could refer to someone being good at fast facts, and i think that jimmy-bond got a medal in fast facts at nationals twice, and I think he/she won it last year.

The capitalized letters are ATBASH and using atbash on the letters gives jimmybond
Based on this logic, I hereby protect jimmy-bond.
EDIT: ignore this, linds already figured it out

This stuff is still relevant:

Not sure what the rebuild part of unscramble and rebuild is.

Also, two cipher clues.... sassys do ciphering?

I mean MadCow used cipher clues but he (was) in Div B.

True. But do many Div.B people know about the Atbash cipher? The only ones I knew of before this clue were caesar, vigenere, and baconian, and I only knew those from sassy games.

Beryllium, Gold, Titanium, Astatine, Sulfur, and Holmium.

Someone who did Periodic Table Quiz? Or... me? Maybe? I'm probably just reading into it, though.

I know atbash but I also have had very close contact with Div C and I was already pre-studying and writing tests for code last year so I’m not a good example...
