Today the profiles were changed on the Youtube profiles of OpAphid, Tachyon, and Brother/10033.
OpAphid,
right there above you
right there above you
right there above you
Tachyon,
"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in awhile, you could miss it.
10033,
"You know, I'm sick of following my dreams, man. I'm just going to ask where they're going and hook up with 'em later."
OpAphid's message is a quote from cassieiswatching's last profile update.
Is this Glenn's way of saying "that's all folks"?

the changes sound very much like glenn to me, clearly not something the creators would do.

On Mixed Media tonight Miles was asked about this profile update. He said he had no idea what was up with them. Duh, he must have been joking, but whatever they mean, he's not telling. *suspicious face* I don't miss Oppy and I don't miss recording puzzles and their solutions in the LGPedia.
LOL, if he seriously had no idea about the updates I think he would have sounded a little more worried.

Tachy's message is a quote from Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Brother's is a quote from the late comedian Mitch Hedberg.

Duh, he must have been joking, but whatever they mean, he's not telling. i think miles clearly knew glenn did these updates but didn't want to talk about it. it was a bit awkward when callers asked point blank this week about opaphid. its also clear that they have no master plan to replace opaphid with a full-fledged new ARG (which doesn't bother me in the least, BTW) |

The only thing that does bother me a bit is that they began introducing Tachyon, and to a lesser extent, Brother into the official LG storyline. From the offical LG story, Bree and the others talk of Tachyon as someone who is dedicated to bringing the Order down. She wouldn't just fade away if she had invested so much time/energy into doing this. Since they have set her character up this way, they have to keep her in somehow, even if we never see her and she has less of a role. Or if she leaves, they need to give a really good explanation for why. |

I think they would be much better off creating a new ARG, but the c's track record with organizational skills is less than exemplary. I think the skill set that Glenn brought to the table are not so easily filled by the original team. Perhaps they can contract with another experienced PM to put something together. While NOT a phan of the ARG genre, I can see how it may have a place as long as it does not create plot issues with the main story-line. I still contend that the vlog format does not "fit" the cloak and dagger business though and that all vids should be "private" for logical reasons.
Agreed it will be very difficult to write Tachyon out of the storyline, but that never stopped them before from writing illogical plot antics. I would think the "character" of Op is less of an issue than the ARG itself and placating the Op phans is going to be more of a problem. They need to feed these phans some puzzles and clues to keep them placated and engaged until they launch a full-blown ARG. Remember they always hold the Cassie card up their sleeve...She never needs to appear on camera, a mere mention will launch a phrenzy.

I can totally see them just never mentioning Tachyon again. I mean when she's in Guam no one really thinks about her anyway, and in fact Bree's little vacation to Tachyon's camp was highly criticized (by us...) and seemed quite unecessary in my opinion. We can just be left to imagine she's gone back to doing her covert anti-Order work where we never hear about it.

Here's a couple of new developments in this saga, There's a new flash on the OpAphid.org website, it was previously blank, you have to wait a few seconds for it to load. opaphid.org/ Glenn, has apparently registered as a user on the LG15 forum. trainer101 wrote. On a slightly interesting note, a new member joined today... www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=4915the image in the profile links to here www.opaphid.org/glenn-av.jpgan allegedly 'unpopulated' website... Maybe he has something he wants to say. |

Those are some interesting developments, Rob... perhaps he wants to continue OpAphid as an ARG outside of LG15? There's also the possibility that it's not him at all! What if it's some crazed fan who registered opaphid.org back in the day. You never know...
Do keep us posted if anything happens!

What if it's some crazed fan who registered opaphid.org back in the day. You never know... Do keep us posted if anything happens! Yes, I was thinking the same thing, maybe he is considering continuing the ARG independent of LG15. It's too difficult to explain and I'm not sure I understand it all myself but the evidence according to trainer and others on the LG15 forum points to the fact that it is indeed Glenn. Trainer just now determined that the flash was added to the OpAphid site just this morning. |

okay...so assuming it is "Glenn"...Where will his first post appear? and when? Will it be contentious? Provocative? Apologetic? Condescending? Vitriolic? Perhaps civil in tone and intellectual in its presentation?
Anyone care to guess? Perhaps a pool (not a poll) is in order.
