Ben Jordan Case 7 Contest: WE HAVE A WINNER!!! (and an answer)

[Dualnames]

Okay now let's all kill ourselves

[Mac]

Er, no.

[Sylvr]

Mac.. you don't realize.. my life revolved around this contest. Now that it has concluded, I have nothing else to live for!

[deadsuperhero]

Wow, that was a tough one!
Good job, GG! 

[Hammerite]

When will we actually find out what it is?

[Grundislav]

Well, I was going to wait until December 24th, when I'll do the GiP thread, but if nobody else has managed to guess the title by next week I'll post it then, along with how to figure it out based on the clues.

[deadsuperhero]

Oh...but I thought GG guessed it correctly...
oh well.
=P

[Grundislav]

He did guess it correctly.  The title he posted in this thread was a joke.  He sent me the correct answer via PM.

No more guesses?  Well I guess it's time to give the answer.

Taking clue #1 which was "Spiders and scorpions hear," most people correctly guessed that spiders and scorpions are arachnids.  Following that logic, you need to find a synonym for "hear," which in this case was "listen."

This gives you the phrase "Arachnids Listen."

Now, you take the 2nd clue, "Banjo Nerd" which is an anagram of "Ben Jordan."

So rearranging the letters in Arachnids Listen gives you some possible titles.

If the game were to take place in France and be about bad escargot, it might be "The Rancid Snails."

Or it could be "The Cairn Islands," but that doesn't make any sense.

So that leaves us with the game's actual title:

The Cardinal Sins

Holy crap!  :o  All hail the genious who solved this!

Awesome  .

[Andail]

anagrams are so 90's

[Babar]

GG got it without the 2nd clue?!

* Babar is in awe of people who randomly create anagrams of words

And besides, this is very unfair! I was guessing "The Radical's Inns"

[GarageGothic]

I must admit, I never even got to the anagram part - I based my guess on the "XXX XXXXXXXX XXXX" format of the title and on the fact that shortly after announcing the contest, Grundislav removed the cardinal sprite he had posted on his site. I smelled a cover-up, and well, it turned out to be a good hunch.

You are quite clever it seems. So I don't mind losing from you.

Now then,  what's the title for BJ#8?

[LimpingFish]

Now then,  what's the title for BJ#8?

Ben Jordan 8: Ben gets up, makes himself a piece of toast, goes to the post office to buy some stamps, see's a brown dog in the street, stares at the sky, solves a murder involving a possessed milk bottle, buys some albanian food at an albanian food stand, goes home, and goes to sleep.

Deluxe.
