I'm out. This is too much reading. I kept up with the Tachyon's vids and OpAphid, but missed the brother's and apparently that is where most of the juice lies.

But it's not just this. A mod actually editted one of my posts; I'm throughly pissed about it. Go to "Canon and Non-Canon Characters" in the plot discussion board, and you will see that hyemew actually edited my post when she quoted it in her own. This is outrageous, and I hope everyone abandons ship.

I'm on the fence.
On one hand, I think everyone who put soooo much into OpAphid and Tachyon deserve kudos for keeping up...turns out, their passion for all things LG15 paid off. So, good for you guys/gals.

On the other hand,... the regular story doesn't move fast enough as it is. Bree, Daniel, and -now- Gemma, aren't exactly keeping this going at an entertaining pace. I fear that the addition of more characters will only reslut in this just drawing out into more time than I'm willing to invest. It started out fun and intriguing...and, yeah, there were clues to be researched and speculated on. But, the story was always enough to keep me coming back. Eh'...now it seems to complicated. I'd rather see more Bree and Daniel than a bunch of side tracks.

All this brouhaha about the legitimizing of OpAphid is pretty predictable, I'd say. A change this unexpected always causes earthquakes in people's heads. Just wait--in a week, if you come back to read this thread, it'll make you think, "What was all the fuss about?"

Dear Fans,

We want to clarify the connection between OpAphid and lonelygirl15. Simply put, OpAphid is supplemental material that adds to the lonelygirl15 experience. It is not required viewing. If you watch lonelygirl15, you will experience an engaging, compelling story, full of plot twists and character development. You will not be left out if you choose not to play the OpAphid game (the official ARG). If you choose to play the game, it will provide you with a much deeper experience and allow you to solve puzzles. We are trying to appeal to a broad swath of fans... both casual viewers, and hardcore gamers. We think we can do both. If you are not up to speed with OpAphid or ARG's, feel free to catch up in the forum.

Email any of us anytime with questions (Miles in particular is happy to talk at length about how cool OpAphid and the new site features are).

Enjoy!

The Creators

btw, at the end of the video, the dialogue is like so:

Bree: "What?"

Daniel: "Just forget it."

Bree: "OK. Somebody is in a bad mood."

I think this is pretty cool. The Creators always said they would be including their own ARG at some point (when CiW was discredited) and im glad that its finnally been confirmed. my only slight jibe is that I was able to follow CiW passively, living in the U.K iwas able to wake up on the morning and see the night's developments and it was all pretty easy to follow, which suited me as a former lurker extrordinaire, that doesn't seem as easy with OpAphid. I did start to follow it but when there was all this 'you cant divulge answers or secrets' stuff I stopped following as with the different timezones it was difficult to get involved with the puzzle solving.

Anyway I'm gonna do my best to catch up and hopefully see all the opaphid followers in thier forum in a couple of days

I've kinda kept tabs on what's going on with OpAphid, but didn't follow all the clues or solved any of the puzzles. Its honestly a lot of work to stay on top of everything that's going on. Every time I went to the forum, there were a million new posts and I just don't have the time to get involved right now. But I will continue to watch LG15 and just browse through the OpAphid stuff from time to time to see if anything important comes up.

Hopefully those of us who do not wish to backtrack through the mess of a forum that is OpAphid's will not have to thrash around in OpAphid puzzle solving here, in the LG15 videos area. If so, I'm out. If it had played out differently off the cusp of CiW that OpAphid was more than annoying vids with complicated puzzles that appeared to be mimicing Ciw, I may have followed OpAphid. As it is, I don't wish to and I certainly hope I can at least enjoy the LG15 area without having it forced upon me, as noted by creatatrons. However, I can see this becoming further muddled...and in the OpAhid area it's all complete nonsense and bickering. So, yeah, that helps me a lot. So, anyway...hopefully it will stay respectfully separated enough where those who wish to play can, and those who do not don't have to.
