My question...is since OpAphid is so surely rooted in the initial CiW stuff...do we take any of our CiW stuff with us on this, or what? What happened to CiW...it was good enough to rip off, that's it? Just confused...
I interpreted that as an evidence the LG15 extended crew (Creators+OpAphid) did gamejack CiW and hastened its downfall. I might be wrong, but that's part of why I'm a little upset at the Creators for the whole OpAphid = official ARG. :evil:
Oh, now that's not nice. :evil:
Like I said, I might be wrong. I wrote a message to the Creators about that. They did not bother answering.

Considering how many of us wouldn't do OpAphid after what all happened...and the hazing we are getting, now, for being noobs...I'd like an answer from them on that, personally. I could be up to speed if I'd known...something...

I wouldn't be surprised to see Cassie pop up again in either or both storylines. Even if it's just as a reference in LG like Bree does once in a while. OpAphid may be tied a little closer to Cassie than we realize.
It's ALL connected...

Well, watching OpAphid's first videos are proof that she's very tied in...but I don't understand why CiW just pooped out. I'm extremely confused, now...

That's not what is confusing me. OpAphid was the gamejacker...so...what the hell?

I'm inclined to believe that the original report in the New York Times was correct. CiW was intended to be the first lonelygirl spinoff. It went into an area the Creators never intended it to go and was phased out/merged into OpAphid.

Are you talking about this symbol?

which is the only one showing in the "What happened to that girl Cassie?" video. It doesn't look exactly like the eye of the Watchers.
You're right, but it's quite similar in nature.

At the very beginning OpAphid has been using CiW's fame to promote itself. When Cassie went down, OpAphid somehow disappeared into darkness. But a few people kept watching and OpAphid prepared a triumphant comeback when it was clear Cassie really was dead.

Well, they could have at least wrapped it up in a way that wouldn't DISCOURAGE us from participating in OpAphid. :evil:

I'm a feeling a little pouty and uninspired to look closer, but from my research on ancient egyptian glyphs:

If it has a dot or pupil in the middle of the mouth it could mean "weep"

If it doesn't have a dot or pupil in the middle of the mouth it could mean the number " 3/4 " .. kinda think it might be this one.

If the mouth was more of a circle and had a dot/pupil in the middle of it ..could mean "sunshine, to shine" or "the people of the sun"

Edit: everything i said above is on the assumption that there's 3 lines. I don't know if that's 2 lines, 3 lines, or what...

(sighs)

I do agree. It's quite similar in nature. Maybe people on the OpAphid vessel made sense of it already.

Another good example of an OpAphid/Tachyon tie-in things, but in a phone message in the game it says that Daniel has missed his JC classes and his mom thinks he is camping. We got this phone message last Thursday. You hear it on the in-game voicemail of the Tachyon's partner: 310-933-5901
