Cloverfield!

MGP = Mr. Grumpy Pants (a name given to the cloverfield beast by a member of these forums)

ARG= Alternate Reality Game (This one is hard to explain i'd Wikipedia it)

ARE=(Not to sure on this one but i'll take my best guess) Alternate Reality Events (The events that occur in a TV show/movie/other medium that affect the ARG)

And as for PWNED it was made up by someone because it's like owning someone by a whole 'nother letter. JINX has just recently developed a shirt that says QWNED which is being PWNED by another whole letter

I answered this in the post you made within another thread (not so bad a thing to do). There's also a lot of reference information around the forums, including...
Please use Search. Here's how.

Welcome to unFiction. Enjoy the fun, remember to Play Nice.
Very Happy

The Glossary has some other definitions that might help.

By the way, ARE = Alternate Reality Experience. It is like an ARG, but the players all get the same responses and the play is pretty linear - we don't affect the story (see "TLE, The Lost Experience").
