Revision as of 15:45, 5 February 2007

I figure this discussion is bound to start soon, so I might as well start it myself. This video raises a few questions:

  1. Who is the blogger for this video, Daniel or OpAphid?
  2. Should this video be treated as a part of the LG15 video series, as an OpAphid video, or both?
  3. How should Lose Something? and The Ends Justify The Means be treated since they are previous videos that were reposted on lonelygirl15.com?
  4. What should we do about OpAphid apparently brainwashing Daniel?!?!?!?--Jonpro 13:54, 4 February 2007 (CST)
  5. Does Daniel truly remember Cassie as an affect of (apparent) brainwashing, or is he reading a script of sorts?

The vid is signed by Oppy, not DB. Btw; a substantial Oppy vid?! o hell yeah! -Nieriel.Manwathiel


Here's my take on your questions, Jonpro (and by the way, they are very all very good questions)
  1. OpAphid is the blogger. Even though Daniel is in the vid, it is clearly done Op-style.
  2. Yes, and no. The lists should be merged. I saw on the lonelygirl15 website that they've added the OpVids to the regular video column. Lose Something? is now number 0121b, meaning it goes after Foosball Battle (although because of a glitch, it looks like it comes right before). The Ends Justify The Means is number 0115b, coming in right after Bree And I Hooked Up. In that case it actually shows up in the right order in the list. So this is an Op blog, but it comes after "The Cowboy" in the template, and not after "Lose Something?"... am I confusing you or making sense?
  3. No clue... maybe a kiss from his true love will snap him out of it? prob not...
  4. Now this is just my opinion... but I don't think he means anything he says. I don't think he suddenly remembers Cassie, I think he's being told to say all he said. He probably believes it all though, since he is brainwashed. Bree's dad wanted that to happen? lol
Ok, hope this clarifies some issues. I would like to go ahead and start integrating the OpAphid videos with the lonelygirl blogs, but I want to hear what other people think first. It seems the Creators are really trying to make the point that the storylines have converged and are inseparable now.
Also, the site is still acting pretty slow, so I prob won't be doing work on it for a little while... but in the meantime I'd like to see how others interpret this.

Sigh... does anyone remember when this was a cute videoblogger in her room that everybody thought was a real person? When the goal was to tell a "highly-realistic story"? Anyways, here's the Creators on the new relationship between LG15 and OpAphid. http://lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5955 Some OpAphid videos are required viewing. When they are required, they'll be in the video column. The puzzles, however, are optional. Or something.--JayHenry 21:12, 4 February 2007 (CST)
I totally agree about this being a cute video. What the hell happened? I really don't know where they're going with this. Not only does it not follow a logical order/plot, it isn't entertaining. I was on the edge of my seat waiting for this video, and now I'm not really excited about the next video. They've killed the interest for me. Heck, they could have kept the order thing being a weird cult. That'd be fine. This is less cult and more science fiction.
Are you kidding??? I'm TOTALLY on the edge of my seat now! What the hell is gonna happen? They can't just let The Order take take Daniel without a fight. But what are they gonna do? This was the first real WOW moment I've had since "The Unthinkable." ~ Jbshryne 02:30, 5 February 2007 (CST)

Perhaps this is just me, but does anyone else find it odd that it says "This is the first in a series of Op Aphid videos uploaded to the main page"? How does anyone know there are gonna be more Op Aphid videos on the front page? This could be the one and only.

I doubt it'll be the only one seeing as more then 1 Op Aphid vid has already been added. - Maddie

Thanks for your reply, OwenIsCool. I agree with your suggestion to merge the lists. It will take some work, but since the Creators have merged the videos in the column on lonelygirl15.com, we just have to do the same thing here. If there are no other ideas about how to handle this, I think this is the best suggestion.--Jonpro 22:06, 4 February 2007 (CST)

I do not see how this is an Op video. This video is from Daniel. --LGFAN

templature

The newest development with regards to OpAphid presents us with a question on which templates to use for these videos. The regular Blog3 template that we'd used for the official series or the green Aphid template. I suppose I have a slight preference for the Aphid template. According to the creators post at the forum, it looks like there will be two types of OpAphid videos -- those that are required viewing and those that are still primarily for the ARGers. Should we even bother making the distinction or should we just treat it the same as everything else? --JayHenry 01:05, 5 February 2007 (CST)

We have the Op template, might as well use it, I think. It would also serve to distinguish Op vids from regular blogs, and that distinction is needed now more than ever since the Creators have intertwined the two series.
JayHenry, Brucker, what do you think about including these Op videos on the LG15 list of vids? It seems from the post JayHenry linked to that at least some of them should be treated as mandatory viewing material. Also, what do you think about "merging" the video pages? What I mean is, instead of OpAphid being a separate sequence of vids from LG15, work them as if they were another blog, like Bree's or Daniel's or Jonas's. Example: The "previous blog" to "Lose Something?" would be "Foosball Battle", instead "The Ends Justify The Means".
I don't know if this is the best approach, since maybe the Creators didn't intend for all the Op vids to be merged in like that. This one clearly needs to be "merged", but we can't have it separate from the other Op vids... sry, I'm not making any sense anymore. Look what you've done, Creators! We slave away trying to logically organize information about your series and every couple of weeks you have to change things around. "Let's get add a seen character with a speaking role, but make her totally irrelevant to the plot. Let's have Jonas post a blog under Bree's account--and let's make the description ambiguous. Let's throw in another "Seen" but minor character that defies all categorization. Now, let's post an Op video on the 'official videos' side of the website. That'll throw them." >_<

I disagree about Random Girl... she was totally relevant to the plot, as she reminded Daniel that there were other girls in the world (Breeniverse?) besides Bree. However, I object to them not even giving her a DAMN NAME. ~ Jbshryne 02:30, 5 February 2007 (CST)
