Can we please post a sticky of Creator confirmed Canon and Non-canon characters somewheres on the board.
I'm getting frustrated with people using the infiniate Cassie's to determine how to handle this ceremony business...
I know we have a list on the LGPedia, but could we post one here as well?

This would help the people new to the forums quite a bit, especially since the fanfics are also a big topic on here. It gets confusing for people...and frustrating to explain what's going on with things. It could simplify things and also make people feel more comfortable, I'm sure. It would be great in the Plot Discussion area, too...that's where I see myself and others explaining the cassie conundrum the most.

That takes a lot of the fun out of this tho. Half the adventure of LG15 and especially OpAphid is not knowing what exactly is or isn't canon. So you could be following something that entertains you, then come to find out that its an actual part of the story! Or you could be so sure that something is canon, only to find out that it has absolutely nothing to do with it...

its fun Smile

Fanfic shouldn't be constantly discussed in the canon forum areas. I see the off topic frustrations in the Ops areas, too. It's a problem.

And one that the moderators and operators can manage w/o having a set list of canon/non-canon posted. Posting a list is basically taking anything organic out of this experience. You might as well post a checklist of what order people watch the videos in, or when they should or shouldn't take a look at the ARG.

Well, then they can do that. Either way. Just thinking of things to make it easier on new people and to make topics stay with the original thought, not "well, in frankiswaking he said this so we should do this". If you don't see it as a problem, fine...but you aren't in that area very much, either. It's an issue that is dealt with often.

I'm in all areas of the forums, I just don't post on the LG side too often. I didn't say that non-canon posting in canon areas isn't a problem, I said that its a problem that the mods and ops can handle.

When I started paying attention to LG15, no one held my hand and told me what I should watch or should pay attention to. Most of us who have been here a while have all just kinda stumbled along, rolling w/ the punches. And I think our love for this experience stems from that. If you start telling people exactly where to go or what to watch or who to pay attention to, you take away from this.

That is my opinion anyway

Everything you need to know to play opaphid and the FAQ thread both have all the characters listed.

You are missing the point. If you dont' see it as a concern, you've made that clear...now let the rest of us discuss it or an administrator.

Then why do we make sure fanfic topics are relegated to the fanfic area...? In the past we've used Plot Discussion to discuss the LG15 plot. That isn't fanfic. Why have two areas if we can allow people to be totally confused on what is the story in one of them? We wonder why people get frustrated with us...we try to help the people newer to the story and forum, but many of them get upset and frustrated. This is a problem. Is it that bad of a thing to make it clear the distinction between the canon storyline and the very appreciated and enjoyed fanfic? If someone posts a CiW theory in there, it's moved.
