Hi HyeMew. Yes, I've read your post and I understand your point. But I disagree. I honestly have no idea if this is canon or not. But that being filmed in Fresno doesn't rule it out. It's easier to go and shoot in Fresno than in Ukiah, for instance, from LA or SF. When you drive around calif, you have to drive through Fresno one day or another. It's true Glenn has shown a taste for 101 so far....

impulse wrote:It's canon, but I have no argument to support this. Is that ok? No really, the editing doesn't look like your usual home made youtube vid. Yes, a few others in calif know how to shoot good videos, but still. If not canon, they took the right elevator towards the supreme kingdom and can hope to be one day welcomed as his children by saint Miles.

edit: not shooting in LA is not an argument. None of the opaphid videos were shot in LA, Glenn being from SF.
However, keep in mind that Glenn made great videos before getting tapped for canon status so anyone with a good camera and the skillz to pay the billz can make a good video.

If it's orginal like Gemma and Jonas we'll get news soon. If it takes a long time it'll be pure fan forever or pure fan until picked up by creators (assuming it doesn't mess with the established working relationship that Glenn and the Creators have).

I've been told by a high ranking member of the Order that this is fanfiction.

That is a crucial point. I would add to that: assuming it doesn't mess with the established storyline, also. That's basically what killed CiW. Glenn really added somehting without interfering, at least at the beginning, with LG15. "We are the D" really invades Opaphid's territory.

Could the flashing of the tail lights be morse code? I don't know anything about morse code. Just throwing it out there...

Canon or no, Fresno is the ideal location to base a company of assassins, which is what I'm presuming the D (as in destroy) are. On thing people who live there say about the place is you can easily get anywhere from there. It's centrally located in California, so Ukiah, Petaluma, LA, are all pretty easy and nearly equivalent trips to make timewise. There is a major airport, and many private airports, so it's easy to fly. You can also easily catch a bus or a train should the need arise.

Since Fresno is a hotbead of gang and other criminal activities - one of the highest crime rates in the country - if you behave halfway respectably and don't make waves, you won't get any trouble from law enforcement. It's easy to be invisible there. Basing this story in Fresno, is just one more thing that makes it really well thought out and believable for me.

It's pretty clear the canon story has assassins on both sides. Warpylol blew up brother's car, supposedly with the help of Gemma, and Brother offed Gemma under Tachyon's direction - although we have yet to see a body.

So who would be based in Fresno - Brother? Warpylol? - either or, both and?

Given the plausibility, it seems worth considering.

Ok all you Fresnans, don't jump on my case - you know it's true 8)

Not to place my vote on one side or the other, but I've lived in California all of my life and been from Mexico to Oregon, and I've never been to Fresno.

Has anyone figured out what the "187 / 188" numbers mean?
