You can start down the path toward the enlightenment you seek at any time you choose. However, it is best to walk before attempting to run.

The answers await only those who are prepared to uncover the truth within.

To start your journey, simply look above.

has anyone compiled what all the anagrams and palindromes are yet?

anyone figured any of them out?

i am hanging out with my girlfriend, so before i get accused of ignoring her, i want to make sure there is no redundancy.

Have done nothing with it other than put up posts

Op Aphid did post something in latin on YT CiW.

"In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni"

It doesnt fully tranlate but here is what does

" upon girum imus by night and consumimur fire "

RESEAL ONE VOW = "SOON WE REVEAL"

"in girum imus nocte et consumimur igni" is actually a quite famous latin palindrom. It's generally attributed to Virgile. It was also the opening sentence of Guy Debord's last movie. It means litteraly : we go around (wander) in the night and are consumed by fire.

can anyone make out what the pic on the OpAphid profile says in the text?

Is that from one of the videos?

new comment from our mystery antagonistic on the LordGreystoke vlog.

Sorry about the damage to your vehicle. The world is not a safe place, and one should always exercise caution.

With that in mind, we trust that our message is clear: We are everywhere, and we are watching.

We were quite successful in silencing Cassie's last form of communication, and her current method does not seem as if it will last much longer. Only a fool would put himself in succession to become the third such casualty.

Be well—for your own sake.

RESEAL ONE VOW

i dig the idea of 'bad guys' entering finally. i just want more vids and the puzzles more defined.

so now i'm thinking of sending a msg thru YT to Opaphid 'in character' kinda to see whatz up.

OpAphid posted a 6th video about an hour ago. There's reversed audio at the end, but I don't have any programs to see what it says. Anyone want to take a look?

Goodness, does it sound as though OpAphid are the elusive ciw gamejackers?

interesting theory (which i had thought a possibility as well).

for what reasons do you see the connection?

also, would this be the "characters" of the gamejacker, or the actual alleged gamejacker (if one really did exist)?

I think I'm making a connection between OpAphid's boasting about silencing cassie and the unsuccessful attempts to find genuine clues at the first and third site.

so we either have a very shrewd and skilled gamejacker running his own ARG against CiW, or an excellent in-game scapegoat for all related sloppyness on the part of CiW PMs?

or maybe none of the above.

I am kinda most excited by the prospect of there be some stuff outside of the CiW scope. The comments left for Daniel, even that video directed towards Bree made me chuckle. I find the condescending attitude clever.

If the CIW PMs are amateurs as I believe is widely suspected, it *would* be a clever strategy for them to come up with an in-game character to blame their mistakes on, sort of to try to maintain versimilitude.

Just a thought about how this may connect. In Rev 2 there are 2 fly fishing lures. The brown one Frank puts on a hook is a mosquito (skeeter), I think the white ones in the box are "aphids." Can any fishing people confirm?
