This page's purpose is to archive updates from [http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=OpAphid OpAphid's YouTube profile]; A character in the [[OpAphid]] [[ARG]].

==October 20th, 2006==
When looking at eternity, and trying to justify it against our place at this moment in time, it's quite common to wonder how all of the pieces fit together.

Perhaps the better question is "Do most people even see the whole picture?" Or are they missing out on seemingly obscure fractions of great importance that could help it all start to become clear? By the time you reach the end, will you even remember every sign you ignored at the beginning?

In the grand scheme of things, we are playing with preciously little time. Alas, without order, we are left only with chaos.
--
I am reminded of this writing in one of our historical texts, by the Roman philosopher Nomanyuos. I attempted to verify the translation on the internet, but unfortunately he remains a victim of harsh damnatio memoriae for his ideas and philosophies that did not bode well with members of certain sects. This less controversial musing regards the Roman Forum and its importance in his time:
----
"Were it not for the forum, there would be no discourse amongst the people.

Were it not for this discourse, there would be no clear vision.

Were it not for clear vision, the hard work of our politicians, citizens, slaves—not even our armies could ever bring any guidance toward the right path.

But if not for the hard work behind clear vision arrived at through discourse, the forum itself could never have been built."
-----
Historically it is important to note, however, that most Emperors and politicians enjoyed their greatest triumphs when the forums remained largely unaware of their actions, and did not inquire about their intentions. But Nomanyuos, like most philosophers, had virtually no wealth, power or influence. Would you find it coincidental that history is full of "populists" with similar views?

Regardless, great rewards await the chosen few who can see even a fraction of the wisdom and truth that is right before their very eyes.

5 / 5 - Incoming...

Take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?

If so, do you see the bigger picture? Do you grasp even a fraction of the meaning that lies within?

The five pieces are in front of you.

When lost, it helps to focus back to the beginning.

The five pieces are in front of you.

Do you see the bigger picture? Do you grasp even a fraction of the meaning that lies within?

Take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?

The five pieces are in front of you. You clearly see fractions of the larger picture. It's hardly a pure science, is it?

But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?

The five pieces are in front of you. You clearly see fractions of the larger picture. It's hardly a pure science, is it?

You're off to a good start, but it shall remain a modest accomplishment if there is only order without purpose.

But again, take a moment to think about your decision in going forward. Should you be capable of doing so, which side will you choose?

One of you has already found purity within the order.

Can you be trusted with a secret you have earned?

Some can be trusted with a secret, while others obviously cannot.

Do not be so quick to believe everything that you read, especially when there are agents amongst you who wish to interfere by spreading disinformation.

The truly worthy should ask themselves if they understand what is being asked of them.

Only then will they be prepared for the challenges that await.

To those who have proven themselves worthy:

Find instruction within the message. Only then will you be prepared.

The first step toward any solution? The A in APHID, of course.

However, do not underestimate the importance of rest. Even God rested on the seventh day.

Sleep is a reward for some, a punishment for others. For all, it is a sanction.

Are we rested and refreshed?

Only those who have found instruction within the message will be prepared to prove their worth--if they understand the P in APHID.

Sometimes additional enlightenment can be found hidden amongst information we previously considered a part of our history...

The first step toward any solution? ANALYSIS. Analyze the data in front of you.

To PROTECT is our greatest purpose, above all others. The importance of PROTECTION is essential to understand before any further progress can be made.

Only those who have found instruction within the message will be prepared to prove their worth in this regard. While history is full of subtle clues toward greater secrets, some messages are meant to be taken literally--regardless of any deeper connections we might suspect.

If called upon, will you know what to do?

Some things are secret for a reason. There are people whose lives are dedicated to keeping them that way.

"True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."

For those who have proven their worth through action, enjoy what little time you have left to prepare.

If called upon, will you know what to do?

==October 27th, 2006==
BE READY
And Remember:

Regardless of what you read in internet chat rooms, the H in APHID does not actually stand for "HOLLA."

==October 28th, 2006==
Today is the day. Be ready.

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action...

"True knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing."

The time is now.

Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action...

Study your enemy... Look into her "eyes."

It's quite doubtful that the perpetrator of this betrayal would use coding methods so primitive

Talk:Gemma

== Etymology ==

Some interesting info on Gemma's name, which I'd like to eventually incorporate into the page:

ALPHECCA or GEMMA (Alpha Coronae Borealis). One of the very few stars with two commonly used names, Alphecca is the dominant (mid- second magnitude, 2.23) Alpha star of the delightful constellation Corona Borealis, the Northern Crown, a semicircle of stars to the east of Arcturus that truly reminds the viewer of a heavenly crown, the constellation representing the crown of Ariadne. The name Alphecca in fact comes from an Arabic root that alludes to the "broken" nature of the circle, the semicircle that makes the crown. The alternative name Gemma rather obviously derives from the star's central placement in the semicircle, it being the "jewel in the crown."

::What a pretty name, I would have never known. Perhaps then it follows that the word "gem" can also be traced to these origins?[[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 17:47, 6 December 2006 (CST)

:::Raises the question: what does [[Bree]] mean??--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 18:17, 6 December 2006 (CST)

::mm, i think it got it's name from the original word for jewel. i mena they didn't just make up random words when they named stars.--[[User:Skeeta|Skeeta]] 00:36, 11 December 2006 (CST)

== RIP Gemma ==

In [[OpAphid]]s video [[The Ends Justify The Means]] an anagram of this appears - could she be dead?

== Gemma as a main character ==

Since Gemma is no longer making videos, should she still be in the main characters section?
:Well, she's like a former main character. She's a main character like Ben Kenobi in Star Wars:A New Hope. --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 13:52, 1 February 2007 (CST)

:hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. but... maybe you can make a secondary characters thing under the main characters and put like Gemma and P. Monkey and Bree's parents. Besides, star wars is a fixed movie. this is an ever changing ARG (thanks Maddie for pointing that out :D )and yeah. but,sigh, do want you want. :/ Wingless

::See, thing is, even if you see Gemma as "less main" than Bree or Daniel, she's still wayyyyy above Bree's parents, and she's definitely not a [[:Category:Stuffed characters|stuffed character]]. The important thing is that they're the four bloggers the series has had. If more characters became really important, yeah we'd reoganize. But as it stands right now, it seems to me just fine. [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 14:24, 1 February 2007 (CST)

:::I don't see Gemma as "less main." I see her as no longer main. There's a difference. How is she "above" Bree's parents? I guess if you're talking speaking part. But who's had more influence on Bree? I think her parents. Yeah, It's all debatable, and I'm not trying to say anyone is wrong. I'm just voicing my thoughts. Wingless.

::::I like OiC's idea, that she remains as-is until another "main character" is introduced. The thing I see as a possible problem is the tendency to over-categorize. For a while we had just "Characters", then we had "Stuffed characters", then "Main characters/Supporting characters", then McPhee became a "Guest character", etc. Gemma just isn't in the same league as the supporting cast, and so moving her would almost require creating a new category. However, the four we have pictured on the front page are truly special, even with Gemma no longer with us (dead or not).
::::Here's a better example: If you go on imdb.com and look up the show [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0108757/ ER], you'll see that Anthony Edwards and Eriq La Salle are still listed high on the cast list despite neither of them appearing on the show for about five years. Gemma is still a "main character" in the series as a ''whole'', and I think she should stay that way. I would be quite willing to remove her from the front page listing if another blogger was added to the cast and we needed the space, though. --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 16:40, 1 February 2007 (CST)
:::::Why don't we just get rid of all the catagories then? Have Bree on the main page, and a link to a list of ALL the characters, non divided. You don't HAVE to do it, it's just an idea. Wingless.
::::::Actually, that's not a bad idea. I think our current setup is good, but if it starts getting too complicated, going the ''ultra-simple'' route would be nice. --[[User:Brucker|Brucker]] 17:29, 1 February 2007 (CST)
:::::::yeah. Thanks for reading all that too haha. Wingless.

== The Music from "Gemma [Part I]" to "Gemma [Part IV]" ==
This is perhaps the wrong place to ask about this, but does anyone know who made the music for the [Part I] to [Part IV] Videos and what the Song is called? It sounds kinda dark and dirty, i love it. [[User:145.253.2.234|145.253.2.234]] 10:59, 26 February 2007 (CST)
:Hey there,
:I believe that those videos use remixes of the Tachyon theme that was also used in [[The Human Ransom]]. It's by [[Glenn Rubenstein]], who's also a writer for the series. I think someone at the forum posted a link to listen to the mix used in The Human Ransom, but I'm not sure where. I'll put it here if I find it.
:If you're interested in the music from LG15, there's a page called [[LG15 Soundtrack]] that you should take a look at. It has links to listen (and sometimes download) the songs (all free). We don't have records on the Op or Tachyon music, but we might soon. Let me know if that's something you'd like to help with!
:[[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 15:38, 26 February 2007 (CST)
:: Thanks for the replys, i've found the topic mentioned above on the [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6514 Forums] and edited the [[LG15 Soundtrack]]-Page so it refers to the download "What Time Is It (Tachyon Theme - Loud Shirt Mix)". I'm not sure if this is what you (OwenIsCool) had on your mind when you asked me to participate, if it wasn't i'm sorry, tell me how i can be of help. (Note: i just signed up, 145.253.2.234 was me) [[User:GermanME|GermanME]] 04:30, 27 February 2007 (CST)
:::Hi GermanME, and welcome!
:::Thanks for adding the link to the Tachyon Theme. Actually, you found a different link from the one I remembered--the one I'd found was just lifted audio from The Human Ransom. Yours is probably better since it's longer and includes more of the "variations" of the song (if that's the right way to say it). Electronic songs are weird like that... we could eventually have like 10 remixes of the Tachyon Theme and neither is "official" (for lack of a better word).
:::If you like working with the music stuff... well I'd been thinking of adding an OpAphid and Tachyon soundtrack to that page. Is that something you'd like to help with?
:::[[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 15:08, 27 February 2007 (CST)

==The videos that out gemma==

I think that since the Tachyon videos that outed Gemma as working for the order that they should be put on the list. they are obviously a part of the storyline and people should see them to know whats going on and what jonas is talking about in one of his videos. I mean even if the blogger isn't Gemma they should be put there, it could just list somewhere that the account was hijacked by Tachyon
