lil Bluepill help?

Can someone explain the thinking behind the Angel ranks riddle?  I have a bloop asking me questions about it and I'm totally stumped...

[Ash]

100 bucks says the "bloop" is Revolver.  He's been asking me about the same thing for the past several weeks.

Question: The Angels stand in order of ranking. Each head is offered to combine the key. http://home.comcast.net/~phienyx/thedoor_*********.htm
 Virtues-Powers-Guardians-Cherubims-Angels-Messengers-Thrones-Healers-Archangels-Enforcers-Seraphims-Principalities-Dominations.

Explanation: The user can find a list of angels rankings according to lore by doing a search.  Once they remove the ranks that do not belong and put them in the correct order, the first letter of each rank, in order from highest to lowest can be plugged into the partial URL listed.  The url will bring them to a site with the final answer:Seraphim-Cherubim-Thrones-Dominations-Virtues-Powers-Principalities-Archangels-Angels-----http://home.comcast.net/~phienyx/thedoor_sctdvppaa.htm------Final answer: believe

Problem: This is why we shouldn't rely on outside web sources for challenge answers. It seems Phienyx submitted this when he was still in the faction and put up a page on his personal webspace. Once he quit or was removed, he took down the site, so there's no way for the person to find the answer. I removed the question. Either it will just show up blank now or will roll over to a different riddle.

good question thought i must say.

Aha.  Yes it was Revolver.  Normally I don't help much with these, I judge whether they are "doable" and then just keep giving them encouragement instead of help - but this one had me.

Cheers guys

Unfogiven is having trouble with the Caesar/Aaron Burr riddle.  He has tried letter substitution but apparently that's not working.  I wondered if may this was a Caesar's Box, but if it was it wouldn't be in the traditional format.

Any clues as to what to do next?  He's tried just about every letter substitution combo.

I had this riddle.. Aaron Burr is a Modern Day Caeser... LOOK AT WHO AARON BURR is famous for killing.. :-)
sorry destyn.. american history...

[Anonymous]

Aha, I see.  I shall find a way to inform him this has nothing to do with codes or ciphers then....

ahem

[Heironymus]

More specifically.. here is the qoute...
and if the guy isn't american.. or doesn't know anything about american history.. this one is probably over his head..

Yeah I think he just went down the wrong path because Caesar is known for his cryptography skills

Here we go again....

The architect, whose son fights for his father..... anyone?

[NoCry]

is this amyl asking the question as he has been asking me? i know the angel he followed was orien if that helps....

[Anonymous]

Yes it is Amyl... unfortunately I have no access to the answers or to see where these guys are on the path, so often I work out the riddle then guide them from there as some of them can be pretty tough (like this one).  But it has me stumped

[Tbone]

Is this the full question?

"They slept well, with this particular architect watching. His son lead and protected us, doing so while holding to his father's title."

If so, the answer is Hypnos.

"Myth - god of sleep was Hypnos."

[NoCry]

well some think that jesus fought for his father....
