''Since anyone can post under the name The Deacons in comment there have been many random comments.  However there have been a series of highly characteristic and informative comments that appear to have been made by the same person.  This series of comments is the subject of this page.''

==Introduction==
−
----
+
'''"The Deacons"''' began posting in the [[comment board]] on the Lonelygirl15 website after the video [[Life's Not Fair]].  Their messages mainly warn Bree of the consequences of her running away, and beseech her to return to them.  They've replied to [[Daniel]] and [[Gemma]] videos as well.  At times their posts have been on the mark, leading some users to believe that they might be canon.  However, their often contradictory posts, as well as their unfulfilled offer of a video from her parents, have shown them to be fanfiction.  Also notable is that when "The Deacons" began posting, usernames were not fixed, which led to several unrelated people posting under the same name.  When the member directory was created, "The Deacons" began posting as "Deacons", even though the usernames "The Deacons" and "TheDeacons" were listed.  This ocurrence also pointed to fanfiction, as the Creators would surely have taken steps to protect "The Deacons" username if they indeed were using it.
 +
 
 +
==Marcus==
 +
'''Marcus''' is the self-confessed puppet master of [[The Deacons (commenter)]] spin-off and ARG.
 +
 
 +
He came forward after much suspicion from followers of the game, having single-handedly retrieved two drops from the game.
 +
 
 +
Before revealing himself, Marcus was an avid poster who seemed to love the puzzle portions of the Deacons game and was also a staunch supporter of their credibility, citing the accuracy at their posts.
 +
 
 +
==The posts==
 +
This article includes images of The Deacons' posts when possible.  Since they have been prolific in their commentary, sometimes there are too many posts after a certain video, or they may be too long for complete inclusion.  Links to the entire post are provided when available.  Not all posts by users claiming to be "The Deacons" are discussed.  Before the member directory, anybody who wished to post as "The Deacons" were able to, so judgment calls will be made as to what does and does not constitute a legitimate "The Deacons" fanfic comment.

===Life's Not Fair===
−
After the video [[Life's Not Fair]] a [[Lonelygirl15 (production)|Lonelygirl15]] user named "The Deacons" posted a comment.  It is not yet clear if there is any connection between this user name, "[[The Deacons]]" mentioned in the videos, or "[[The Creators]]" . The content of the post contained the arabic for [[Urim and Thummim]].  It should be noted, however, that anyone can post under any name on a main video thread.

After the video [[Life's Not Fair]] a [[Lonelygirl15]] comments board user by the name of "The Deacons" began the first of a series of comments. The content of the post is featured below.

According to [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nechemya Wikipedia]: "Nehemiah was a person in the Bible, believed to be the primary author of the Book of Nehemiah. He was the son of Hachaliah (Neh. 1:1), and probably of the Tribe of Judah. His family must have lived in Jerusalem (Neh. 2:3)."  It is intereseting that they use the word [[Ascendant|Ascend]] since it has astrological significance.

This suggests that the Deacons plan on using  [[Bree]]  as a "medium" to communicate with "other life forces" during [[Bree's ritual]].  [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/?p=100&play=1#comment-13690 In response to this a user comments]: "In a video where Bree is discussing what Lucy said about her having imaginary friends, could she be preparing her for something where Bree needs to ‘communicate’ with something that is not there? Surely if she was used to imagining conversations with her stuffed toys, it would be easier to manipulate her mind for their own uses?"

===Someone's Following You===

Following [[Someone's Following You]], this message was left by "The Deacons": "[[Gemma]], αυτό δεν είναι αποδεκτό. Πρέπει να απασχολήσετε τα affiars σας. Διαβάστε την ιστορία σας και μην μιλήστε επιλεγμένη πάλι. Η διαταγή δεν είναι ευτυχής με τη συμπεριφορά σας, και οι γονείς σας δεν είναι παρακαλώ ούτε." The Greek translates to roughly, "[[Gemma]], this is unacceptable. Mind your own affairs. Read your history, and do not speak of this again. [[The Order]] is not pleased with your behavior, and neither are your parents". They also posted: "[[Bree|BREE]] Perussi vestri crustulum quod propinquus vestri visum. Nos erant usquequaque vigilo. Nos es undique quod narro totus lingua. Nos es in interventus quod habenae. Illic est haud subterlabor. Trado pro populus adepto vulnero. Vos ero ruina of totus. Is est tardus , denique admonitio. Temerarius nostrum consultum. Trado iam. Nos have seen , nos mos adveho , quod nos mos victum." This post is written in Latin.  The odd language choice (we have no reason to think that Bree's religion borrows from Greek or Latin scriptures) and the poor quality of the composition is what has led many to acertain that these posts are merely another form of the fanfic that is a part of the [[lonelygirl15]] tradition.  The Greek language posting is particularly revealing because it contains the misspelled English word "affiars" (instead of "affairs") in the midst of the Greek writing.  This has been taken as evidence that the poster was using a translator that skipped over "affiars" because it had no translation for it.

Crystal clear package edutainment.png
This article or section has been nominated for a cleanup
The content on this page may be overwritten or contradictory. You can help LGPedia by cleaning it up.
This article is about the fanfiction comment board user that posts under the name "The Deacons" and more recently, "Deacons". For the Deacons of the Order as portrayed in the series, see The Deacons.

Introduction

"The Deacons" began posting in the comment board on the Lonelygirl15 website after the video Life's Not Fair. Their messages mainly warn Bree of the consequences of her running away, and beseech her to return to them. They've replied to Daniel and Gemma videos as well. At times their posts have been on the mark, leading some users to believe that they might be canon. However, their often contradictory posts, as well as their unfulfilled offer of a video from her parents, have shown them to be fanfiction. Also notable is that when "The Deacons" began posting, usernames were not fixed, which led to several unrelated people posting under the same name. When the member directory was created, "The Deacons" began posting as "Deacons", even though the usernames "The Deacons" and "TheDeacons" were listed. This ocurrence also pointed to fanfiction, as the Creators would surely have taken steps to protect "The Deacons" username if they indeed were using it.

Marcus

Marcus is the self-confessed puppet master of The Deacons (commenter) spin-off and ARG.

He came forward after much suspicion from followers of the game, having single-handedly retrieved two drops from the game.

Before revealing himself, Marcus was an avid poster who seemed to love the puzzle portions of the Deacons game and was also a staunch supporter of their credibility, citing the accuracy at their posts.

The posts

This article includes images of The Deacons' posts when possible. Since they have been prolific in their commentary, sometimes there are too many posts after a certain video, or they may be too long for complete inclusion. Links to the entire post are provided when available. Not all posts by users claiming to be "The Deacons" are discussed. Before the member directory, anybody who wished to post as "The Deacons" were able to, so judgment calls will be made as to what does and does not constitute a legitimate "The Deacons" fanfic comment.

Life's Not Fair

After the video Life's Not Fair a Lonelygirl15 comments board user by the name of "The Deacons" began the first of a series of comments. The content of the post is featured below.
