"The answer (phone number) to the 5/5 puzzle was kept secret for the first few hours after it was solved (at the request of OpAphid). We are told it was done to maintain the experience for those who wished to solve the puzzle themselves and earn the "well done" first heard upon calling the phone number. This left a bad taste in the mouths of many, both new players who don't understand why people aren't giving out the answers and veterans who aren't used to a PM who locks down their game to quite this level.

OpAphid has since stated that if there are to be any other "grace periods" on revealing the solution to a future puzzle, they will be limited to a span of 2-4 hours. Recent puzzles have no had no such restrictions."

There. Now we can all be happy and just play.

And hey - before you call me a noob and brush me off all hater-ifically, just know that I only recently became aware they were turning it into an ARG (I don't read the comments on the main page bc 90% of them are useless)

But once I found out, I spent all night reading up on the plot and the puzzles - so now I am just as well-versed as anyone about the story. I just want to play with you guys - don't hate me cos I'm different Sad

Lately the puzzles have been 100% teamwork based, so we can't afford secrets! That music one was killer, but a lot of fun. Laughing

Hey everyone...I am somewhat a noob to the whole OP-APHID scene...so as a noob guess I will add my two cents worth:

1) To the vets - Canonism has its pluses and minuses...I am an optomistic person soooo I see the positives. It also gives you all a chance to spread the wealth. A huge part of ARG's is the "community"

2) To fellow noobs (not a derogative term, just a fact) - If you can help any new people to understand what is going on then by all means please try to help. There are alot of the vets that have been working really hard to help make the transition smooth. Use your resources wisely...there are plenty of resources right here in the forums.......read those before you post.... if you still dont find the answer then definatly feel free to ask people either here or in the chat or wherever.

I am really looking forward to seeing the benifits that the added resources should bring and hey maybe we wont have to drive for HOURS to get a drop.......will be nice to have people closer!

Hope we all can get along for the sake of the operation, don't sweat the little stuff.

USE OF THE WORD "NOOB" or "NEWBIE" in OpA threads = New to OpAphid, but not new to LG15.
Don't get defensive because it's a fact and not being used as an insult.
