The ARG has been nothing but a liability from day one. I wouldn't be heartbroken to see it gone.

I thought it added an interesting touch. I did not participate, but I am very intrigued by it.

edit: I should also add that if it was gone tomorrow I would not be shedding tears or losing any sleep.

it def kept me interested.

i like tachyon

Is Alex's house in or around Santa Monica?

(Don't panic. No anger.)

Why do you feel that is the case?

I feel that at times the timing of the storyline has depended on the ARG, which may have led to the clue-letting. However, I'm not going to touch the other allegiation.

I also hated the fact that a whole video was directed at the solving of a puzzle I cared nothing about. Anticipating the next video, and then getting something like that, and having to wait another two days for the kind of video I wanted, is the kind of thing I'm talking about. It seemed to me the pace of the story depended on the ARG.

I shouldn't have said it to begin with. Please accept my apologies, everyone.

I was wrong to bring this up; I just couldn't resist.

EDIT: clarity

Alright, I'm going to put this out there...

Alex should hook up with Daniel... Bree with Jonas(unless they are siblings then...nah)... haha I didn't want it to be like this at first cuz he was the first male character so he should get Bree... but now Alex is here so it's all good... feel free to tell me what you think...

I kind of don't want Alex and Daniel to be anything other than good friends... and if they do, it wouldn't amount to much I'm guessing.

I thought opinions were welcome here. I see your point. I think it has its pros and cons... as all things do.

I think Bree is penis-phobic. I don't really see her fully "hooking up" with anyone in this series.

I must respectfuly disagree. When OpAphid became Canon I was not happy, mainly because I was a CIW fan, and chose not to follow Op cause it was fan fic off of fan fic. I felt like the creators had taken me for a loop and driven away the ARG I was following. Once I got into OpAphid, I found it very enjoyable, the other storyline made up for frustraitions I felt while the LG15 storyline was rather stagnent. While the puzzles confused me to no end, it was neat to watch them being solved. Recently I feelt the creators and PM have ignored the ARG and Oppy too much, and I would like for this to change in the future.

Edit: well it seems things can change while you're typeing. Joygasim you made some very good points and I agree with them, no need to apologize for bringing up the topic, not in my book anyway.

Well, see, this is the thing. I love the Op and Tachyon characters, and with them came the ARG; so yes, as Joy said, there are pros and cons.

Its so nice to see we can agree on something!

on that note... I am off to bed. I hope I don't have TOO much catching up to do in the morning.

You feel how you feel. You were just being honest.

I personally liked the story of the ARG a lot (Tachyon and OpAphid have both been great, interesting characters), and how it related to BD&J's angst adventures. I don't know if the plot's advancement was ever dependent on the ARG (those who played it in the time following Canon Day would know better than I) aside from the drop at the cabin - but it was consistent with how Tachyon had operated up to that point, and I really wanted to find out what it was all about (so that the story would maybe continue faster; which is why I posted all that information for Daniel right after the solution came along); so that never stood out to me, I guess. If I'd never attempted to crack the password, it might have bothered me like it did you.

Yep, I'm all for Team Alex/Daniel.

I don't really care what Bree does romantically at this point as long as she's mature about it. I don't want her getting mistreated either, but I think we've all learned that our concern should be for the person in the relationship who isn't Bree.

If it's Jonas, I'd be cool with that. Just would want both of them to handle it right.

jeezy: Which point?

Chelseyrl: Why's that?

I meant the fact if it was that easy to guess that Daniel and Alex will hook up then maybe it won't happen... usually it's not that easy to guess...
