I can understand why people would be disappointed in the ending (a lot of us already suspected that Blake was Hanso's daughter), but the execution? I was really into the glyph hunt, or the piecing together of the videos to be more specific.

Anyway, my point was that at its slowest, TLE had updates every 3-4 days, and fairly often we had 2-3 new things per day. I don't think The Creators of this ARG/online serial have the same kind of resources, but it might help to give us a bone to gnaw on in between major plot points/clues.
On the risk of going off topic, the execution (for me) really started to lag after THF got shut down. I thought (again, IMO) that the glyph hunt was WAY too long and by the time we were in the 50's range I was just collecting the pieces, not even bothering to put them together. Not to mention what seemed to me to be a huge plot hole of "I'm being hunted by Hanso, going underground, and releasing these glyphs in smalllll pieces 'cause I dont want anyone else to die because of me like Darla/Hugh/DeZylvaorwhateverhisname is. So please, post your pictures so everyone knows what you look like!" *snort* (I still did it though. ;))

And sometimes we would wait for days for clues. Yes sometimes the updates could come at a rather dizzying speed. But you hit the nail on the head--The Creators of this ARG/online serial have the same kind of resources. If indeed this is a grass roots ARG (not even saying if it's related to LG15 or not), this person has...a life. I mean that in the least snarkiest way possible. They have a job and bills to pay. To assume that their job at this point is to cater to us and our needs of something to keep us occupied seems a bit..wrong. In TLE (I'm sure) they had groups of people to write and contribute who most likely were getting payed for their efforts (with lymon! :D). In CiW we might have a couple of people or even one singular person doing this in their spare time. No it's not really fair to compare the two, but it is interesting to see how the operation of a large scale game can (in someone's opinion of course) rock or suck compared to a smaller run game.

Disclaimer--I'm sick and on a lot of NyQuil right now. Any jumping from one point to another and then back again should be blamed on the medicine. :D

Could this be a new character? The views to rating ratio seems fishy.
I've seen the text in that video quoted verbatim on either youtube comments or on the actual LG15 website (I can't recall.) But it did strike me as fishy, perhaps further plot? Or just a fan playing along? dunno.

Its probably a goof, but I thought maybe Bree would reply to it and a new character would begin. Something like that will have to happen if they introduce a new character.

Also, do you think if Daniel and Bree go on the outs, he will show her camp play? Haha, this stuff is making me crazy.

If they stay apart, I hope Daniel posts something to that extent. :shock: It would answer quite a few questions, except for maybe the Cassie questions..

Didn't Daniel say in his video that he was going to Bree's play, but just to support her? That he wasn't going to record it? That's what I remember.

Haven't watched everything I need, but I noticed they (Bree/Daniel) are weening their videos off of youtube. I know they are here, but I go out of force of habit. I guess they are trying to earn their money from revver. Maybe I'm wrong, or my computer glitzed? Did Daniel have more than 6 videos?

It's still on YouTube...it's "To Hell With Bree's Dad"

Edit: Yeah Daniel hasn't made many vids.

Ya, I don't know what happened. When I went back it looked normal?
Edit: And I see you saw I was wrong about the video! Oh well.

I just watched this and the song backwards isn't the interesting part.

Anyone else notice?

No sure what the video means in the grand scheme. But the tone almost fits...

(i'll add it to my evergrowing subscriptions list to keep tabs on) :lol:

Do you mean the fact that they actually recorded the YouTube share/watch again buttons starting at 35s, or the [op aphid] sigil in the background?

EDIT: Nevermind, you meant the Cassie feel to it. Odd that the other bits went unnoticed, though, too.
