I kind of look at it like this:

I don't watch a lot of TV. I don't participate in any other online crap, except my myspace, which I barely have time to keep up with. I have a house, a hubby, three kids (one with special needs).

LG15 is my little release, my private spot where reality doesn't touch.

Am I happy that I feel like I have to go back and basically start over midway? No. Am I going to do it?

**sigh**

You know I am. I'm not ready to give up my lg guilty pleasure.

But I'll be holding a grudge! And don't you forget it!

can i just ask one question:

Did we act this way when Gemma or Jonas were introduced as new characters???
This is literally the same thing. You don't have to go nd play catc up, you don't have to go and play the game. You just watch whatever they post...thats it. The same with any other character.

So why is this different then Gemma or Jonas??

Thats exactly what I was thinking Kelly.

Sure at first we were told we didn't NEED to follow OpAphid, but as the story grew, OpAphid did too--and their role became more important.

Now we should follow OpAphid. Just the videos. Just to keep informed of the storyline. Just like any additional character.

Suppose for some reason, LG15 adopted one of those cassie fanfics as Canon. Would people be mad to have to go back and watch those videos? Not really. It'd be interesting...even if we had a sense of missing something.

I think if people were upset and wanted to leave, they would already be gone.

but no one really cares about op being part of the story, about 90% like it, but it is that the creators said we didnt have to watch it to understand the story, but now we do which has annoyed some people

i love that op is part of it now Smile

The difference is, Gemma and Jonas were quickly confirmed as cannon, and if you hadn't been watching, it took next to nothing to catch up with what they had been up to.

The "Oppyverse" has been going on for quite some time, with many, many videos that are going to take a while to get through.

And no one posted that Jonas and Gemma's videos would add to the story, but if you didn't watch them, no big, you'd still be fine.

We weren't supposed to need to watch the Oppy/Tach/Brother videos, but now they are major players in the main story.

It's just, IMHO, a pain in the butt to have to go back and catch up now, which I feel I need to do to understand the whole thing.

That sums it up exactly, Josh! I'm just annoyed.


I'm not threatening to leave. Just expressing my annoyance.


And yes, if another character was added at this point (like cassieiswatching or whatever) I would feel like I needed to go back and watch all her videos, so that I could know the back story and get to know the character. And I wouldn't be annoyed that I had to do so....unless the Creators had told me not to bother with them, that they wouldn't directly effect the main story line!

Edit to get rid of double posting

Well, that's your opinion. I, personally, do feel the need to watch the videos.

Maybe "catching up" isn't quite the term for it. But I feel the need to personally watch, not just rely on someone else's take and opinions on the videos.

Just for example...what if Oppy suddenly posted a video that had a bright pink background and had screen shots of Michael Jackson embeded into the video... would that be unusual? I wouldn't know, because I hadn't watched any of the previous videos.

I'm not saying that anyone else should be annoyed, or anyone else should rush right out and watch all the videos. I'm stating my personal annoyance.

I'm not sure why so many people are annoyed by my annoyance, and feel the need to tell me what I should/should not feel about watching the videos.

I've read the catch up thread, I have no interest in solving the puzzles, and I still feel the need to watch the videos.

I truly appreciate everyone's work on making the catch up thread, and I'm not trying to take anything away from that. I'm sure for some (or most, lol) people that would be plenty.

I'm just one of those people who have to see for my self.

The fact is...

No one has to watch the opaphid stuff if they don't want to!

I watch it and have done from the beginning cos I love it. But if you don't then don't bother!

The creators told us that we wouldnt need to watch any opaphid vids unless they were put with the main videos, so its not required unless they but it with brees vids
