[Spec] Mixed Voice of OpAphid

I just need some folks to comment and give me a broader experience of this.

It seems like there are times that OpAphid speaks to us as a character in the story.

AND THEN there are times that it seems like OpAphid is pushing along as the PM.

Is this just me? Is it appropriate behavior?

I agree that she seems to do this but I think this is an artifact of the design.

She's a sindicate looking to further thier own goals by the use of pawns. She doesn't want just any pawns so she challenges us and reinforces correct responces as she slowly lets things come into the light. She's pulling our strings and there's a real group pulling her strings so it's dream within a dream level meta.

This is common to other games as well. Sammmeeeees has that sort of relationship with Mr. Alan Johnson but not really from Peeps.

Difference seems to be in other games there are two sides activly communicating with the players (something we ought to have soon) and we have this nasty codependent relationship where we have to cling to one side or be out of the game.

This will change a bit with Tachyon who ought to introduce us to la resitance.

Thanks Tiger.

That really fills in some gaps for me. I'm new to these kind of things, so it helps tremendously to have your thoughts on the issue.

It could be a pm trying to convince us that there is no pm :P

Feels like OpAphid is doing a pretty good job of keeping in character. He has a pretty easy job of this due to the OpAphid clue delivery device being that is used here; an actress backdropping his message throughout the game. He is able to be the Puppet Masters and Private Message while whoever is the actress is simply that -- a figure of manipulation. If you look at it that way, OpAphid has been a PM the whole while, well enough.

OpAphid is the woman in the videos

Perhaps I am just totally confused, but I thought OpAphid was a group of people - 'the operation'.

Opaphid always says "WE", never "I"

Thinking about the "woman" in the videos, it seems to me that there is more than one, there is at least three and probably four. They seem like different characters and I wonder who they are.

How do other people see it?

I just started watching these a while ago, and haven't posted here because I feel like I know so little and am just watching it unfold, but I definitely see at least two seperate women, and perhaps more (some of them are a little hard to tell their face from the videos)

There is the woman in the cassie series, the one with the egyptian book of the dead clues.

Then there is the woman in the DO GO TO GOD video. I'm pretty sure she is different from the cassie series, she's also at the beginning of the disclosure video and I think she's the one in the "We are They" video.

Then at the middle of Disclosure there is a different woman. She might be the same as the one in the cassie series though. I can't tell.

Then at the end of the Disclosure video is a new woman, she shows up first on the right side of the screen and then the left.

That's were I get three or four from.

I believe OpAphid has told one of the members here that she is one of the women in the videos..
