I cant say he's off the tables trainer. If Zipp turns out to be Jonas's dad and then another Jonas's dad pops up in the breeniverse, there will be some confusion.

I think it is still entirely possible that Bree is an Order Baby. I agree with trainer in that when Jeromy said his story wouldn't directly tie to LG15, he meant that it wouldn't DEPEND on the story of LG15. His video "The Cassie Curse" pretty much explains this. The Creators encourage fanfiction and Jeromy could still very well use a storyline inspired by LG15, thus making an ARG about another girl who is an "Order baby."

I was thinking about this stuff during a long drive home today.

Here are my conclusions - forgive me if they're redundant (I haven't read ALL of the recent IG threads) or incoherent (I was - and still am - very tired, and rather hyped up on modafinil, BDJ kidnapper-style).

I think that Mr. Zipp has to be someone close to Maddison, NOT ONLY in relationship, but also proximity. Of course, as we all know, he knew her computer passwords, which were very personal to her. So, he must know her fairly well.

But also, I think that it's evident that they're geographically close. Someone mentioned that homing pigeons (like the ones that delivered Maddison her messages) work by being delivered to a location, then flying home. From Wikipedia: "People often labor under the misapprehension that the pigeons know where to deliver the mail. The fact is that they can only go back to one "mentally marked" point that they have identified as their home." A thread was posted about this, and Jeromy even remarked that this would be a good subject for IG speculation. Thus, Zipp would have to be fairly close to drop off the pigeon(s) for them to find. Or, alternatively, their home IS that of Maddison. Moreover, the third note was simply left on her door - someone had to drop it off. If Mr. Zipp wasn't in Nac, TX, at the very least, one of his associates had to have been.

So, who could he be?

I don't really know. I had a thought that it could be Maddison's father. That would explain both the relational and physical proximity, and would provide a neat twist about saving "his only child." However, it begs the question of why he wouldn't simply warn and explain this to Maddison directly. Do we know anything about Maddison's immediate family? Someone else had a thought that Mr. Zipp is Maddison herself. That might be a bit "out there," but given additional information, it could explain some things. Another possibility is that Mr. Zipp is Adam's father.

Another thought:

If you agree with me that Mr. Zipp was probably located in the same city as Maddison (which I'm not even going to attempt to spell), then it begs the question of who was planting the drops. I had an idea about this, although it's kind of out there: given the musical focus of the game (and indeed, I believe that at least two of the three drops occurred at concert venues), could it be possible that a touring band has been planting the drops (IG, of course, not OOG)? Like I said, maybe farfetched. But has anyone checked to see if a band has played in each of the three drop cities around the dates on which the drops occurred?

Anyway, I hope that this is coherent and insightful. Heck, I'd settle for one out of the two. But I'm going to go get some much needed sleep right now.

I agree whole-heartedly, TOSG -- Zipp was someone that was close to Madison and possibly stalking her (or, in my theory, WAS her, but I've already mentioned that, so I won't discuss it again unless I've got something new).

Towards the end I think even Maddison was acknowledging this fact. I found the chat archive thread (can someone please sticky this again? It got buried, and I think it should be relevant to all current IG discussions), where she states:

Emily, Emily Emily...

The jealous girlfriend, gets it into her head that Adam and Maddison are having an affair, decides on revenge. Oh, and she's a good friend of warpylol too, er and someone who races pigeons.

I think Mr Zipp is/was a musician, (forgive me if someone already noted this)
Did Maddy mention any musicians other than the one she had a crush on?
Anything like that?

...That would've been a really good question to ask her, actually.

So about Mr. Zipp...

I missed the chat with Jeromy and so I just read the chat log today. He said in chat that he thought the "Mr. Zipp puzzle" was easy, but wouldn't say what/who he meant by that.

So I got to thinking. The first introduction we had to Mr. Zipp was the email sent to Maddy and the video "Immerse Myself." Should we go back to that email/video and study it more carefully? Maybe there is something obvious that we are missing. I get the feeling from the discussions with Jeromy that WHO is Mr. Zipp is important.

Ok, off to re-watch videos...
