It is becoming clearer over the days that NBR just might be canon!!!!!! So thought it should have its own thread to avoid cross-posting Today at 1:39pm, milowent wrote: And this supports the idea that NBR, is, gulp, canon?! (ie, reference to multiple production teams) If this is true then NBR appears to be a parallel narrative that is maybe worth adding to character videos here www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmCkIS331TUInteresting to note that paul and andrea seem to be right on the case-comment on NBR vid: " Paulmark18 (11 hours ago) Aww we wanted the first comment Nikki, we were close! Love as always, Paul & Andrea (look us up, F in the yellow pages! F for Friend.. of Daniel's..) "

I suggested to a staff member a week ago that we invite NBR to post on the main page of anchor-cove.net as a news correspondent type of thing. I got the feeling he didn't like that idea because she was trying to make a name for herself.
I thought it would bring a lot more traffic to the main page of anchor-cove.net. That's the goal, right?
From your quote of paulmark18 above, it sounds like they are fishing for an interview from NBR.
All of a sudden it "appears" that fan interaction is actually happening. We are all going to be left out and we are a group of the most devoted, all knowing, judgemental, and dedicated LG fans out there. Why not do something NOW. It's not like they are going to come to us.

Talk about a major gulp, based on that multiple teams quote I definitely think NB could be canon, or at least involved. She seemed so confident she had always found the right spots and such when frankly all she had to go on was the fact it was a field. Yet she'd always confidently state "this is where this happened, this is where that happened". And based on this comment I had read awhile back on the P&A channel, it looks like Nikki's the one fishing for an interview: NikkiBowerReport | November 02, 2006 Thanks for the comment! You guys are great When are you available for an exclusive interview??? Source: www.youtube.com/profile?user=Paulmark18

Nikki Bower is just so much rubbish.
Standing in some field and telling us that this is where it happened. "Umm yes Nikki... if you say so.... so what if it did?"
Can you do quality acting like Jess Rose? ... No Can you add anything to the show?...No Are you a useless hanger on like Gemmers19?...Yes
It's fair enough to produce vids for people wanting additional LG15 material and no doubt some will enjoy watching, but for me her stuff is a waste of time.

Whilst you may take a clear stand point,it should be pointed out that NBR has a 100% accuracy rate on predictions and events,This forms the basis for discussion about her(Character)
So her acting is rubbish!..... I think the point is being missed, Rather than criticise a potential creator led offspin,maybe it would be more productive to analyse WHY this has occured rather than How the actual presentation is applied,
Most of the acting on youtube leaves a lot to be desired but thats part of the fun,the accessability is what is important.

This really bothers me. Why are we attacking one another for having differing perspectives on an offshoot? Seems a bit pointless to get so annoyed about it.

I personally did not intend to attack anyone in this thread. I'm all for having threads about NBR to begin with.
I think that Nikki knows way too much and I personally don't think her 4 videos are bad at all. I dunno why she seems to irritate so many ??
I was never sure what the real intentions of anchor-cove.net's homepage were. If it was to be LG based, I thought inviting the NBR to feature on the front as if it were "news" would have been neat.
I don't get why so many people are so hateful towards her. Care to explain, anyone? I won't attack you for the way you feel!

I for one totally agree with LB and Gemma, To use the adage of the Wired article and subsequent to the outing...
If ya dont like it-- dont watch it....Remember CIW? does anybody take that as seriously now as they did all those weeks ago.
So no more Hate post(I include myself in that) please, unless it has some constructive analysis attatched to it,
Thankyou,all you reasonable people,here at the cove,

As the one sometimes seen as the most hypercritical amongst us, I don't have any problems with NikkiBower. I rather liked her most recent one with calls to motels and such. I don't know what there is to hate about her (though the whole finding the box thing, but not giving any information about what she found- a clear ploy to suck people in- was annoying). That said, I also dislike this arguement which I hear so often: I for one totally agree with LB and Gemma, To use the adage of the Wired article and subsequent to the outing... If ya dont like it-- dont watch it....Remember CIW? does anybody take that as seriously now as they did all those weeks ago. As involved members of the LG community, we all should certainly be able to have our say about things and people who creep their way in. What if for example there was a spin-off which included murder scenes (oh wait..), hate speech, and other offensive things? While obviously NikkiBower is nothing like this, if that was the case one wouldn't be so easy to just say "if you don't like it, ignore it", you should be able to protest it. I don't see why this should be any different. And like with cassie, it became such a huge part of the community that if you wanted to be involved you basically HAD to watch it. So once again that seriously hinders the whole "just don't watch it then" arguement.

yeah people should be able to put their point across if they want to, so long as its reasonable and providing they actually have a point. i have no problem discussing something with someone if they have formed an educated opinion on it. its only when people have an inherent hatred of something without having experienced it or really arming themselves with any knowledge that it starts to get annoying.

Well I don't hate Nikki Bower or anyone else. I just think her reports are rubbish. I've seen her stuff, and I justified that stance. It's an opinion and I am going to express it. As I said in my original post, some people are going to like Nikki's stuff and I'm cool with that.
If the whole board was like "Jess is great, Daniel is great, Gemmers is great, Nikki is great" it would be a very boring board.
Also, one doesn't have to be into the LG subplots to the nth degree to have a valied opinion. People watch stuff and they form an opinion. And just because it may be creator lead material, it doesn't mean to say it is good. The creators are human and they make mistakes. They are subject to commercial pressures. They are subject to various people nagging them "can we do this/that fringe material" every day of the week.
So there you go. We can't like everything we see all of the time. If we don't like something, I can't see any reason to keep that opinion to ourselves so long as it is reasonably expresed.

I got the feeling he didn't like that idea because she was trying to make a name for herself. Damn that anonymous staff member! My point was that I think NBR is already doing her own thing, i don't picture her joining the cove as an exclusive kind of thing. just like gemmers is not going to do vblogs just for us either! i am intrigued to learn what NBR's real connection to LG15 is.
