well its long for an anagram,.. there are probably millions of things to make out of it... the trick is to try and skim the anagram list for keywords that could relate to this story... I gotta go right now but betcha bottom dolla ill be back on solving this in a few...

EDIT: Guys do you think it may be time to think of a name for this one?

My suggestion could be : Brents Bloodline (i like the alliteration)

or ...

Brenton Ambroise (but too many ARGs these days use peoples full names... lets try something different)


Witches' Hammer?
Malleus Maleficarum?
The Hammer Has Spoken?
The Brent Ambroise Investigation?
The Ambroise Bloodline?
Ambroise Legend?
Ambroise Mystery?
Or de Mine?
Sophies Secret?
Brents Fate?

ok.. i got some more but Ill save em in case none of these fit...


I personally like Brent's Fate or the Ambroise Legend.. but thats just me. I like mysterious... haha

And did anyone save a transcript of the chat for those who couldn't make it?

Sounds more like a cryptic crossword clue, unfortunately my brain has never been wired for them, even with clues, I look at the answer and say to myself eh Confused

 		Clue
It does sound like a crossword clue, but other than what I already suggested, I can't think of anything it might mean.

EDIT: Where's the only place you see three W's? Teh internets! It's got both www and com or net. I've tried anagraming the leftover letters for both com and net, but I haven't gotten anything to work yet. Anyone?

 		Yeah.. ok, I talked with him a bit more..

and yeah.. it's a website.. and I think I figured it out..

but 1: he says it's not up yet.. or it's still down.. something..
and 2: I wanna run it past him first to see if it's correct..

He's currently meeting Arriana down at the diner... so it'll be a little while

 		When in doubt, use .com cause .net implies a network, .org is suppose to be a nonprofit organization.
A decimal owning to wow - www + com = adeialningtoo.

some suggestions (I refuse to post an entire list, that is a waste of bandwidth).
Alienation God (you can also reverse that to godalienation)
Analog Edition
Denial Ago In To
I Go On At Denial
etc.

You guys know the topics better than I do.

Edit to add: If you have figured it out, how about sharing? You can spoiler it for folks who want to try to figure it out themselves.

What's with the info-hoarding?

I was GOING to post that it's not ROT, cryptogram, atbash, vigenere, or dvorak, but apparently it's irrelevant.

but fine.. here's what I got..

www.gaiaonline.com www dot com removed from anagram leaving

aeialninog

Gaia Online has a Jigsaw portion of it.. that is currently down.

 		DUDE!
That's got to be right! Brent and I were having a convo yesterday about jigsaws, and he'd found a site to play online, but when I asked him what it was he said that soon we will all know! Good job!

And, for the record- we don't make fun of each other for brainstorming. That's what the game is about. None of us can have all the right answers all the time. Brain the question, and if you think you have a solution, share it so we can either prove or disprove it. No pressure or ridicule. Savvy, everyone?

 		Forgive my ignorance but what is the purpose of www.gaiaonline.com because on the surface it doesn't look like the sort of place i would sign up for Very Happy

 		Interesting site. You think he wants to use it to communicate IG with the players rather than individual IMing (there is a forum/community section) ?

Characters communicating with players over an online game has been utilized in past ARGs (Eucher in Yahoo & Poker in the LCP gamesite are two examples that pop into my mind).

 		well...

My current thinking is that he just wants to put some jigsaw puzzles together with us.


I am not sure if it allows you to use your own images.. but if it does, then maybe he would deliver a clue in the form of a jigsaw we all put together..

*shrugs*

 		Because.
Because gaiaonline.com has open forums. Remember, he can't post here because of ToS, and he can't really chat to all of us at once. It would make sense for him to open his own forum. I'm scanning them now, to see if there's anything there yet, but it's not very user-friendly.

Alright, I've found his user profile and friended him and subscribed to his journal. There's only one post:

Congrats!
If you see this, it means you figured out my near impossible anagram. Hats off to you. Well after a few hints I'd hope you'd get here, I wanted to see if I was as good at riddles as my aunt but it seems I have a way to go. Anyway, I bet half of you are suprised to see me here but I got addicted to the puzzles. You all can contact me here too and I think I like chatting here better cause if it gets out of line, I can tune it out with puzzles.
