 		ooo, I like SARGe. Very Happy Very appropiate for a game like this. Arg(ish), but no other non-web interactions, usually to promote an item, and only has a few websites. I think the series of websites promoting the book "The Traveler" would also be a SARGe. Wink

I like the acronym VFD, but methinks that would apply better to anything non-ARG, like puzzle trails, small web games, etc. "Daughters of Freya" would fit here.

 		Yeah, But then this wouldn't be under the category VFD, which is kinda the whole point

 		It's a fun little tidbit for fans of the books. Not an ARG by any means, but still. Why post in a thread to say that you're not interested in it? Confused

 		The new clue is a scentance that is actually a link to an amazon book. One of the comments seems crucial

Violet Baudelaire is the Anna Karenina of our day. Sad, very sad.


The book is Anna Karenina.

Anna Karenina is a great book. It just so happens to be on the shelf above my desk too! Written by Leo Tolstoy in the 1870s, it's about a married woman who has an affair and ends up being so guilt ridden by all this

she kills herself in the end
Just didn't want to to wreck the novel for anyone. Smile I havn't read the Unfortunate Events books, so I'm not sure how this would apply, but hope it helps a little?

 		New puzzle up, A quiz.

Some of the options are pretty tricky with having both answers right.

 		Cool.

I knew Lemony Snicket had the potential for ARG. This is great, I've signed up.

I got no page strips after I passed the quiz. Did anyone else get at least one strip of the page?

I found the book and review on Amazon.com by searching for the phrase you quoted.

Anna Karenina

Where did you find the clue that took you to this book?

 		new puzzle
For me, I didn't get a piece of the puzzle and the old ones I had are missing.

As for Anna Karenina, there was a puzzle a few days ago that had a sentence close to "some journeys begin unhappily on a trolley car and some end unhappily on a train" that sentence was a link to click which then took you to the Amazon page for the book Anna Kareneina, which has the readers commments.

'kay...
I just went back to see if maybe the page was blank because it was an all new page. This time, all my puzzle pieces were back, and I think one of the pieces was new.

 		So far I have all four strips.

Also, the RealPlayer plugin does not work for me in Firefox, even though I installed it twice (and did a bit of juju courting by re-starting the browser and the machine a few times.

Can someone somehow grab the audio and post 'em in some other format? Are they important, or just colorful additions to the calendar, I wonder?
