An Open Letter to All Involved with LG15 and OpAphid

I thought this was important for people to see.

I have stood by OpAphid because of the people I have befriended, and the time and money I have invested in this game.

This is not a game. Not anymore.

Rumors have been circulating, and I will only address those actions that have been proven to me with evidence. The PM has given out answers to many of the puzzles that we thought we had "solved". He has also offered of age women hints and answers to puzzles for nude photos of themselves. He has had people spy on us in public and private chat, and they have reported back to him on a regular basis. I will not address any other allegations, because they have not been proven to me.

I will say that I can no longer just ignore the actions of the PM of this so-called game, nor will I allow myself to be fooled any further by him. I used to complain that this has become less of a game and more of a LG video exercise. Now I know that it was never a game, we were always guaranteed an answer. The only thing we had to wait on was the PM to become impatient, or someone to debase themselves. I can not be a part of anything like that.

I am done. I resign. Whatever you wish to call it. I will leave my drop vids up, I will leave the drop pics available. Other than that I wash my hands of this. Those few on the forums that I do talk to, you have my email. Other than that I will not step foot on the LG15 site, #operationaphid chat, or anything directly related to OpAphid or LG15.

Thank you for your time.

I am not very involved in the ARG aspect of this. Who is he referring to when he says PM?

I don't ARG at all either, but I'd assume that the PM is the Puzzle Master or Player Master or something ... the guy that runs the game.

Yes, the puzzle master.

I don't know which is more bothersome...the fact that the PM broke the common ground rules of ARG games by cheating or the fights breaking out in the discussion area for it.

I am not super involved over there... but I'm shocked.
and not just a little lost.

i'm more shocked at the people who KNEW and didn't say anything...and the peole who KNEW and are DEFENDING and attacking...it's ridiculous. Well, the creatatrons have posted that they are replacing Glenn as the PM.

Some of those people over there...on one page they are stating more than one name who came into chat and blatantly admitted to this issue...and now are claiming there's no evidence, blah, blah. I say scrap the whole damn thing. We don't need this sort of drama bringing LG15 down. Screw the ARG.

Heh, exactly. This whole situation is just plain out scummy. And now I feel weird about posting my normal perviness here.

Then again, it could just be that I smell like overripe ass and need to bathe.

Seriously. It's really gonna just cut the whole group up into two battling camps. That's internet drama for you.

We have the people who say it's true, the people who refuse to even believe the screen caps posted earlier and people who were saying they saw things they now seem to want to deny seeing. Screw 'em. We don't need this. Most of the people have said they don't care about LG15 at all. Well, this is a forum FOR LG15...if they don't care and the PM they love is gone...then...

...don't let the door hit ya where the good Lord split ya? (I can't believe I just used a phrase I've only heard my GRANDMOTHER use!

)

It seems to me that some people are just addicted to the drama of the situation, and while they will say "Oh, if he's gone, OpAphid will go down hill and then I'm out", they'll stay anyways just to continue the good fight. I agree. This is a site for LG15 and while I totally understand the dedication and love that people have/had for the ARG that's not THE WHOLE FORUM. It'll suck if something like this ends up spoiling LG15 for the rest of us non-ARGers (or, in my case, not even an ARG lurker unless it directly overlapped with the story).

If people really want to leave over something like this, go for it, or like you said, "screw em". Nobody is making them stay.

yeah I feel real weird reading all that as well.

I know I got all sad at first thinking I was going to go out of contact with folks. I'll miss Z.

There is a lot being thrown around and then taken back. I would like to know the facts, but I am not enjoy the drama ensuing.
