I was doing a little bit of digging around and I came across a bit of a mystery. We all know what Tachyon is one of the YouTube accounts used for the OpAphid game. People have suggested that its name is derived from the time that LG used Tachyon as one of there tags. But the problem is the Tachyon account is too old.
A year old in fact. 4 months older than LG itself.
So maybe they had already been in talks with OpAphid and added the tag as foreshadowing for the already existent Tachyon account. But problem is the video that had the tag (What’s A Date?) was released on Sept 15. The first OpAphid video didn’t come out until Sept 24th. Why would they be doing favours for a fan fiction series that doesn’t even exist yet?
So just what is going on? Did the creators of OpAphid for some uncanny reason just happen to create an empty YouTube 4 months before LG with the same name as one of the random tags in an LG video?
Is the story that OpAphid was originally 100% fan created and then later made a part of the official story not the real truth? Did the creators add the tag Tachyon because they had created that account on a whim before LG and want to set the groundwork for their own ARG? Remember that the What’s A Date? video was release 3 days after the first CiW video and right about the time their official forum was being flooded with ARGers.
Is this all just one giant coincidence?
Did YouTube just screw up Tachyon’s account creation date and there is no time discrepancy?
Was this already solved on the phorum months ago and I am just left out in the dark?
