Front Page Puzzle

It seems to me like there might be a puzzle hidden on the front page (http://cordialminuet.com), or at least a lot of undiscovered meaning. There is a missing anagram at the bottom which appears to be "demonic ritual", and this is reinforced by the picture above. Is there any meaning that others have found so far?

Re: Front Page Puzzle

The source code is available via the hacking challenge: http://cordialminuet.com/hackingChallenge.php
I noticed this in game.cpp, a nice touch

// world with of one view
double viewWidth = 666;

My current theory is that entering a message when exiting the game could have some effect, I am investigating this by looking at the source code. I also wonder if there is a solution to a puzzle on the front page that could be appended to the URL. I might be looking for a puzzle where none exists.

Re: Front Page Puzzle

Demonic Ritual was a dead end, somewhat intentionally.

I just fixed it to bounce people into the forums.  So, if people try it, they'll find their way into the game.

Re: Front Page Puzzle

Before invites were first sent out, binaries for the game used to be hosted at the more obvious http://cordialminuet.com/mildercaution/. I doubt that there's any meaning to the other anagrams.

I guess this means the game is nearly public now.
