I know earlier it was mentioned that someone should get credit for these striking videos. But right now, I think it's MOST important we give OpAphid the recognition and attention to play along with the game.

If we want the PMs to keep doing their thing, it's important to at least attempt to solve what is thrown our way. That goes for any of these ARGs that we like.

But that one comment was too funny, but it's totally true. We have a HSA section here after it was up for just over 24 hours. Its own section! OpAphid has shown quality video work so far and has a better subscriber count than most of the other spin-offs.

I'm not saying this is on the level of CiW or anything (yet), but I think it is worth paying attention to. Especially since of all the videos commented on here, this one seems to be a popular safe money bet for people saying "well, if I had to guess that ONE non-CiW series was LG canon, it'd be this." (and I am not saying that it is).

Personally I like it is because it looks cool (like Japanese horror or an AFI video), and I am finding CiW a bit hard to follow right now. Plus the last CiW video was a bit over the top freaky. I like the mellower approach by just setting the tone.

But I also know that if only one or two people participate in trying to solve anything, than people will lose interest given that there is a high lurker to player ratio here.

With the above in mind, maybe its time to start a puzzle/solution thread focused solely on just that?

Here is what I've seen that should be incorporated into a solutions thread:

In the comments, someone figured that the symbols at the beginning of the video were Egyptian. There have been other puzzles too: anagrams and palindromes mostly.

And the statements at the beginning of the video being Egyptian commandments.

Also, does this belong in spin-offs or fan videos? Hasn't OpAphid posted comments on everyone from Bree to Daniel to Lord Greystoke? I know there was a Bree video blog (the first). But these latest videos focus on Cassie and a comment had suggested a "Cassie vs. OpAphid" meaning that OpAphid (whatever that means exactly remains unclear) might be a negative force.

My guess from the Bree entry is that OpAphid is tied to Bree's religion, and from the comments to Greystoke that it is an organization of sorts. "The bad guys."

If Op is short for Operation, than that would make sense.

oh, and since it was suggested that one anagram was H in APHID, maybe each letter stands for something?

So OpAphid would be Operation APHID?

There's another one of these with another shot of the girl instead of the same footage as the last two. Almost the same, just one extra shot. More backwards audio at the end. But the usual text on the video says "help me" this time and that she's judged harshly and hastily.

re: Cassie confirmations, etc.

It's hard to keep it all straight. Cassie says A LOT of things! or is that through Frank?

Christ am I confused!

This is a lot more complicated than you think it is. I don't have a lot of time tonight, but here's a hint received. My bet is this is perhaps a traverse confirmation that connects LG to OpAphid to CIW. But that's just my guess. Again, stop chasing Frank around for a second and look deeper into OpAphid.

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 many so-called "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.

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 tog 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 to chaos.
