I'm going to check out OpAphid.

this gives some possible meanings of 'op' - 'original poster' is one, don't you love coincidences?
I think the confusing part is the official, not official, gamejack, not gamejack -- all the drama.
The actual story, even if you include all the phone messages and speculation is really simple though.
If you take just the CiW YT page, you can explain it within a minute to someone. Probably 30 seconds.
But the mysterious backstory is probably what hooked all of us. More fun to play a game not even knowing what you are playing or what party (or parties) are running it.
what else could Op be short for? Original Poster seems too specific (and not a good name for anything ARG-related). Original Poster Aphid is just a mouthful.
Op used to be short for Operator like in SysOp (system operator back in the BBS days). Maybe?
Now if it were OG Aphid, I could get behind that.
