== Marbella has produced Eleven LG-15 Response Videos: ==

*'''(11) NO ASYLUM WORD'''

Revver:

http://one.revver.com/watch/226819/flv/affiliate/38052

YouTube:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADD9Rntox7I

This video is also a part of the "group therapy" series. In this video, a statement is made about mental health care in America. Fans have described this video as both creepy and humorous.

*'''(10) Session Two: Group Therapy with Stuffed Friends'''

This video was shot with a series of stills, narrated by Marbella. Response to this video was not as strong as the original video, although some people asked for a sequel. Still, this video helped the story line to continue in a positive direction. It also contained some very cute moments.

*'''(9) Dr. Marbella's Group Therapy with Stuffed Friends'''

This video was uploaded to YouTube.

[http://youtube.com/watch?v=oVk9Exp9bDU]

It was briefly uploaded to Revver and then taken off-line by the creator because the video did not display as nicely in Revver. Currently, Marbella is continuing to work on a way for the video to look better--it's a compression problem!!

*'''(8) Blood is Love?'''

This special message to Bree asks her to reconsider her own beliefs in order to be true to herself.

OR

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr-JoLiUWZw

*'''(7) Follow Me'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/160733/flv/affiliate/38052

Marbella states, "This video represents a series of my thoughts, written like sentences. Staying underwater that long to take photographs of myself was pretty torturous, honestly. Still, it was fun to make!"

*'''(6) Lonelygirl15 Psychosis'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/145281/flv/affiliate/38052

Featuring music by Ravel (Jeau-Deux, )this video is at once serious and comical. Marbella's intention was to reflect the experience of the Lonelycrack addict whose mind becomes so confused it feels as if it is spinning!

*'''(5) Video #5'''
Marbella's newest video offers empathic advice and guidance to Bree, to help her to avoid spiraling downward into a deeper depression. This video is available on Revver and on YouTube.

'''Dr. Marbella's Advice to Bree'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/141310/flv/affiliate/38052

*'''(4) Video #4'''
This video introduces the public to the new DanielBeast Fan Club that she founded. Since Daniel's self-esteem seemed to be lagging, this video was created:

''' Daniel is TOO Sexy!'''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wcdNvsBWkM

(on YouTube only. Revver rejected it, due to the 1 min of copyrighted music.)

*'''(3) Video #3'''
Certain fans were expressing boredom with the "Cassie-thread" that always seems to go nowhere. At the same time, Commander Cloud of the LG-15 Defense Force proclaimed that "The Mackerel" would replace Cassie as the "official group hallucination." This video was eerie and different from Marbella's usual style. Her voice was intentionally distorted. Still, the video was ridiculous, as usual.

'''I Killed Cassie'''
http://one.revver.com/watch/137187/flv/affiliate/38052

(on Revver and Youtube, but never submitted to the LG-15 site--There just hasn't felt like an "appropriate" time!)

*'''(2) Video #2'''
Many fans have been concerned that Bree's stuffed animals contain tracking devices, or "bugs." In this video, Dr. Marbella (who holds a doctorate in Stuffed Animal Veterinary Medicine) explains how to remove "bugs" from Stuffed Friends.

'''Dr. Marbella's PSA: How To Remove Bugs from Stuffed Friends'''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY53_bExubI
'''

*'''(1) Video #1'''
In Marbella's debut video, she expressed empathy and related feelings toward Bree. At the same time, she became alarmed by the evil orange influence surrounding her. This video was a combo of silly and sweet. It is available through Revver or YouTube, despite the fact that a long Rickie Lee Jones song is played.

'''To LG-15 Bree from Marbella'''

== Marbella's Name and "Fan-ship" ==

Anybody want to ride with her on the "Fan Ship?" We promise it's not going to Hale Bopp!!

'''Marbella''' chose her name because she loves beautiful marbles. At the time she chose the name, she actually believed it was her own original creation!!

However, later she discovered that there is a Spanish village named Marbella, as well as a line of Pepperidge Farm cookies! Shortly after this, RosieIsWatching PM'd her to let her know that her name means, "Beautiful Sea" in Spanish. How fitting, since there is so much water imagery in the LG-15 series!!

Marbella is the Ambassador of the LG-15 [[Defense force]] and she is also [[Daniel]]'s Personal Ambassador, as she has founded his fan club. Marbella has also earned a LG-15 Defense Force Calvary Medal.
She is a Moderator/Ambassador on the Forum.

TA-DA!!

== The "Real Person" ==

[[image:Laura.oct.11.06.JPEG]]

The "real person" behind Marbella is Laura Paxton. She is a 38 year old, born in Georgia, currently living in Durham, NC. Previously, she lived for five years in southern California. Laura does not look or feel even half her age. She has a high functioning autistic disorder, which offers her the gift of an "eternal child perspective, "loyalty, perseverance, conscientiousness, and detailed focus. Laura has made 7 videos to increase autism awareness. These are light-hearted, comedic videos that teach as they entertain. This set of videos is on YouTube.

Laura's challenges include sensory integration disorder, chronic neuralgia from having shingles twice in her mid-thirties, migraines, insomnia, and challenges with mood and attention. However, she has written a self-help book series, called ''Borderline and Beyond''. Many people with autism are misdiagnosed as having personality disorders, so her new book will shed light upon how and why this occurs and the damage that results.

Despite this, Laura holds two master's degrees and credit towards a PhD in Psychology. She worked for two years as a special education teacher and five years as a psychiatric case manager. She has had her own business, writing books published by the White Tiger Dream Press since November of 1999.

Marbella

2007-03-28T16:00:29Z

Marbella: /* Marbella's Name and "Fan-ship" */

== Marbella has produced Nine LG-15 Response videos: ==

[[Image:223728-madesmaller.jpg]]

(10)Coming Very Soon!!

(9) Dr. Marbella's Group Therapy with Stuffed Friends

This video was uploaded to YouTube.

[http://youtube.com/watch?v=oVk9Exp9bDU]

It was briefly uploaded to Revver and then taken off-line by the creator because the video did not display as nicely in Revver. Currently, Marbella is continuing to work on a way for the video to look better--it's a compression problem!!

'''(8)Blood is Love?'''

This special message to Bree asks her to reconsider her own beliefs in order to be true to herself.

http://one.revver.com/watch/168154

OR

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr-JoLiUWZw

'''(7)Follow Me'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/160733/flv/affiliate/38052

Marbella states, "This video represents a series of my thoughts, written like sentences. Staying underwater that long to take photographs of myself was pretty torturous, honestly. Still, it was fun to make!"

'''(6)Lonelygirl15 Psychosis'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/145281/flv/affiliate/38052

Featuring music by Ravel (Jeau-Deux,)this video is at once serious and comical. Marbella's intention was to reflect the experience of the Lonelycrack addict whose mind becomes so confused it feels as if it is spinning!

'''(5)Video #5'''
Marbella's newest video offers empathic advice and guidance to Bree, to help her to avoid spiraling downward into a deeper depression. This video is available on Revver and on YouTube.

'''Dr. Marbella's Advice to Bree'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/141310/flv/affiliate/38052

'''(4)Video #4'''
This video introduces the public to the new DanielBeast Fan Club that she founded. Since Daniel's self-esteem seemed to be lagging, this video was created:

'''Daniel is TOO Sexy!'''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wcdNvsBWkM

(on YouTube only. Revver rejected it, due to the 1 min of copyrighted music.)

'''(3)Video #3'''
Certain fans were expressing boredom with the "Cassie-thread" that always seems to go nowhere. At the same time, Commander Cloud of the LG-15 Defense Force proclaimed that "The Mackerel" would replace Cassie as the "official group hallucination." This video was eerie and different from Marbella's usual style. Her voice was intentionally distorted. Still, the video was ridiculous, as usual.

'''I Killed Cassie'''
http://one.revver.com/watch/137187/flv/affiliate/38052

(on Revver and Youtube, but never submitted to the LG-15 site--There just hasn't felt like an "appropriate" time!)

'''(2)Video #2'''
Many fans have been concerned that Bree's stuffed animals contain tracking devices, or "bugs." In this video, Dr. Marbella (who holds a doctorate in Stuffed Animal Veterinary Medicine) explains how to remove "bugs" from Stuffed Friends.

'''Dr. Marbella's PSA: How To Remove Bugs from Stuffed Friends'''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mY53_bExubI
'''

'''(1)Video #1'''
In Marbella's debut video, she expressed empathy and related feelings toward Bree. At the same time, she became alarmed by the evil orange influence surrounding her. This video was a combo of silly and sweet. It is available through Revver or YouTube, despite the fact that a long Rickie Lee Jones song is played.

'''To LG-15 Bree from Marbella'''
http://one.revver.com/watch/110662/flv/affiliate/38052

== Marbella's Name and "Fan-ship" ==

Anybody want to ride with her on the "Fan Ship?" We promise it's not going to Hale Bopp!!

'''Marbella''' chose her name because she loves beautiful marbles. At the time she chose the name, she actually believed it was her own original creation!!

However,later she discovered that there is a Spanish village named Marbella, as well as a line of Pepperidge Farm cookies! Shortly after this, RosieIsWatching PM'd her to let her know that her name means, "Beautiful Sea" in Spanish. How fitting, since there is so much water imagery in the LG-15 series!!

Marbella is the Ambassador of the LG-15 [[Defense force]] and she is also [[Daniel]]'s Personal Ambassador, as she has founded his fan club. Marbella has also earned a LG-15 Defense Force Calvary Medal.
She is a Moderator/Ambassador on the Forum.

TA-DA!!

[[Image:marbella.gif]]

== The "Real Person" ==

[[image:Laura.oct.11.06.JPEG]]

The "real person" behind Marbella is Laura Paxton. She is a 38 year old, born in Georgia, currently living in Durham, NC. Previously, she lived for five years in southern California. Laura does not look or feel even half her age. She has a high functioning autistic disorder, which offers her the gift of an "eternal child perspective,"loyalty, perseverance,conscientiousness, and detailed focus. Laura has made 7 videos to increase autism awareness. These are light-hearted, comedic videos that teach as they entertain. This set of videos is on YouTube.

Laura's challenges include sensory integration disorder, chronic neuralgia from having shingles twice in her mid-thirties, migraines, insomnia, and challenges with mood and attention. However, she has written a self-help book series, called ''Borderline and Beyond''. Many people with autism are misdiagnosed as having personality disorders, so her new book will shed light upon how and why this occurs and the damage that results.

Despite this, Laura holds two master's degrees and credit towards a PhD in Psychology. She worked for two years as a special education teacher and five years as a psychiatric case manager. She has had her own business, writing books published by the White Tiger Dream Press since November of 1999.

==The Lg15 Defense Force: Beginnings==
===The Battle That Started It All===
**Actually, the first battle was on the video "Back at Bree's" and occured during the night. Unfortunately, the next day, there was still no new video. But the LG15 page was intact and safe, thanks to the fight the night before. Cloud_ax, mary, and mikel888 fought bravely.**

It all started with an attack on the video “Breaking And Entering”

==The Lg15 Defense Force: Beginnings==
===The Battle That Started It All===
**Actually, the first battle was on the video "Back at Bree's" and occured during the night. Unfortunately, the next day, there was still no new video. But the LG15 page was intact and safe, thanks to the fight the night before. Cloud_ax, mary, and mikel888 fought bravely.**

It all started with an attack on the video “Breaking And Entering”

==What is the LonelyGirl15 Defense Force?==
The LonelyGirl15 Defense Force is a group of lg15 fan members who have banded together to protect the site from attackers who threaten its safety.

==The Lg15 Defense Force: Beginnings==
===The Battle That Started It All===
**Actually, the first battle was on the video "Back at Bree's" and occured during the night. Unfortunately, the next day, there was still no new video. But the LG15 page was intact and safe, thanks to the fight the night before. Cloud_ax, mary, and mikel888 fought bravely.**

It all started with an attack on the video “Breaking And Entering”

Marbella

2007-03-15T03:13:57Z

Marbella: /* Marbella has produced Six LG-15 Response videos: */

== Marbella has produced Nine LG-15 Response videos: ==

[[Image:223728-madesmaller.jpg]]

(10)Coming Very Soon!!

(9) Dr. Marbella's Group Therapy with Stuffed Friends

This video was uploaded to YouTube.

[http://youtube.com/watch?v=oVk9Exp9bDU]

It was briefly uploaded to Revver and then taken off-line by the creator because the video did not display as nicely in Revver. Currently, Marbella is continuing to work on a way for the video to look better--it's a compression problem!!

'''(8)Blood is Love?'''

This special message to Bree asks her to reconsider her own beliefs in order to be true to herself.

http://one.revver.com/watch/168154

OR

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tr-JoLiUWZw

'''(7)Follow Me'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/160733/flv/affiliate/38052

Marbella states, "This video represents a series of my thoughts, written like sentences. Staying underwater that long to take photographs of myself was pretty torturous, honestly. Still, it was fun to make!"

'''(6)Lonelygirl15 Psychosis'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/145281/flv/affiliate/38052

Featuring music by Ravel (Jeau-Deux,)this video is at once serious and comical. Marbella's intention was to reflect the experience of the Lonelycrack addict whose mind becomes so confused it feels as if it is spinning!

'''(5)Video #5'''
Marbella's newest video offers empathic advice and guidance to Bree, to help her to avoid spiraling downward into a deeper depression. This video is available on Revver and on YouTube.

'''Dr. Marbella's Advice to Bree'''

http://one.revver.com/watch/141310/flv/affiliate/38052

'''(4)Video #4'''
This video introduces the public to the new DanielBeast Fan Club that she founded. Since Daniel's self-esteem seemed to be lagging, this video was created:

'''Daniel is TOO Sexy!'''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wcdNvsBWkM

(on YouTube only. Revver rejected it, due to the 1 min of copyrighted music.)

'''(3)Video #3'''
Certain fans were expressing boredom with the "Cassie-thread" that always seems to go nowhere. At the same time, Commander Cloud of the LG-15 Defense Force proclaimed that "The Mackerel" would replace Cassie as the "official group hallucination." This video was eerie and different from Marbella's usual style. Her voice was intentionally distorted. Still, the video was ridiculous, as usual.

'''I Killed Cassie'''
http://one.revver.com/watch/137187/flv/affiliate/38052

(on Revver and Youtube, but never submitted to the LG-15 site--There just hasn't felt like an "appropriate" time!)

'''(2)Video #2'''
Many fans have been concerned that Bree's stuffed animals contain tracking devices, or "bugs." In this video, Dr. Marbella (who holds a doctorate in Stuffed Animal Veterinary Medicine) explains how to remove "bugs" from Stuffed Friends.

'''

'''(1)Video #1'''
In Marbella's debut video, she expressed empathy and related feelings toward Bree. At the same time, she became alarmed by the evil orange influence surrounding her. This video was a combo of silly and sweet. It is available through Revver or YouTube, despite the fact that a long Rickie Lee Jones song is played.

== Marbella's Name and "Fan-ship" ==

Anybody want to ride with her on the "Fan Ship?" We promise it's not going to Hale Bopp!!

'''Marbella''' chose her name because she loves beautiful marbles. At the time she chose the name, she actually believed it was her own original creation!!

However,later she discovered that there is a Spanish village named Marbella, as well as a line of Pepperidge Farm cookies! Shortly after this, RosieIsWatching PM'd her to let her know that her name means, "Beautiful Sea" in Spanish. How fitting, since there is so much water imagery in the LG-15 series!!

Marbella is the Ambassador of the LG-15 [[Defense force]] and she is also [[Daniel]]'s Personal Ambassador, as she has founded his fan club. Marbella has also earned a LG-15 Defense Force Calvary Medal.
She is a moderator of the Community Forum.

TA-DA!!

== The "Real Person" ==

[[image:Laura.oct.11.06.JPEG]]

The "real person" behind Marbella is Laura Paxton. She is a 38 year old, born in Georgia, currently living in Durham, NC. Previously, she lived for five years in southern California. Laura does not look or feel even half her age. She has a high functioning autistic disorder, which offers her the gift of an "eternal child perspective,"loyalty, perseverance,conscientiousness, and detailed focus. Laura has made 7 videos to increase autism awareness. These are light-hearted, comedic videos that teach as they entertain. This set of videos is on YouTube.

Laura's challenges include sensory integration disorder, chronic neuralgia from having shingles twice in her mid-thirties, migraines, insomnia, and challenges with mood and attention. However, she has written a self-help book series, called ''Borderline and Beyond''. Many people with autism are misdiagnosed as having personality disorders, so her new book will shed light upon how and why this occurs and the damage that results.

Despite this, Laura holds two master's degrees and credit towards a PhD in Psychology. She worked for two years as a special education teacher and five years as a psychiatric case manager. She has had her own business, writing books published by the White Tiger Dream Press since November of 1999.

== [[Newcomer Guide]] ==

'''NEWCOMERS:''' IF YOU ARE FEELING CONFUSED AND WOULD LIKE A QUICK AND EASY WAY TO BE "CLUED IN," PLEASE VISIT OUR [[Newcomer Guide]] PAGE !!!

== LG.15 Today ==
[http://www.lg15today.blogspot.com]

This is an excellent resource, set up in a magazine type format. Sometimes, I'm unable to update the "catch up" in time and cannot find a volunteer to fill in. The LG.15 Today group will usually have it covered. They also have articles that are very interesting in their blog.

http://www.lg15today.blogspot.com

== CATCH UP #19 ==
'''Date''' February 16, 2007

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Watch This!]]

In this video, a shady character is seen watching the trio in the house. [[Daniel]] calls [[Bree]] and [[Jonas]] to come and see. [[Jonas]] goes out and confronts the man, throwing a punch which is caught. Before the man can retaliate, [[Bree]] gets between the two, and the man withdraws. [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] run back and the three decide to leave the house. Many people pointed out Jonas' "Gangster Shrug" as annoying! There were mixed feelings about this video, some were all for Jonas attacking the man whereas some others were against it saying he shouldn't "think with his fists".

'''Date''' March 4, 2007

'''Please Note:''' A volunteer wrote the "Catch Up" above. I have been ultra-busy for the past 3 wks. I hope very much to "Catch up" on the "Catch up," but let's please make this a community effort. Please feel free to insert your own updates, OK? If not, I'll update as soon as I'm able. Thanks, Marbella

== CATCH UP #18 ==

'''Date:''' February 15, 2007, 11:00 p.m. EST

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Valentine's Day Massacre]]

In this video, [[Jonas]] outlines the three courses of action the trio could take. None are in agreement at present about whether to run, stay, fight or surrender. Fans have been debating the three opinions of each character quite a bit. Many of us were intrigued by the references to "prohibition," and to "massacre," as these seemed to coincide with other aspects of the plot. No one had a problem with Jonas' hair in this video!

== CATCH UP #17 ==

'''Date:''' February 13, 2007, 9:00 p.m. EST

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Drinking Problems]]

These are just [[Marbella]]'s thoughts, in summary. Of course,they do not represent the entire forum's opinion.

(1) Interesting family background on Daniel. Heartwarming the way he opened up that way. It makes sense that coming from an alcoholic family, he would try to drink his problems away.

(2) Jonas definitely encouraged it. He never went with him to drink, but he did encourage it. I realize Jonas fans are saying, "No Way," to this. So yeah, on the other hand, alcoholics DO tend to blame other people for their problems.

(3) Daniel is taking so much responsibility for his own actions and authentically expressing remorse that it does not seem he WOULD blame Jonas if it were not at least partially true.

(4) Getting out is RIGHT. I'm SURE the Order knows where they are by now.

---

Forgotten Purity, your friendly wielder of CrackPot Ideas, has some imput, as well.

1.) Consistently following my theory that the ad's following each episode are relevant to the plot, an ad for Absolut Vodka suspiciously followed this alcoholic episode.

2.) Marbella has a point that Jonas did nothing to help or prevent Daniel from drinking. But take into account that Jonas was really encouraging Daniel to have a life that didn't revolve solely around protecting Bree. Also, Jonas is rather naive having lived alone for the past couple of years, sheltered from society. Proof: Trusting Bree so quickly, believing undershirts are sexy, and encouraging Daniel to go drinking.

3.) I agree, Marbels. It's absolutely admirable and of utmost maturity that Daniel is taking so much responsibility for his actions. Kudos, my friend. Kudos.

4.) I'm slightly annoyed with Daniel, though, for even having a cell phone. Cell phones are incredibly easy to track, especially when you're resourceful as The Order. If they can bug a car, they can track a cell phone. Daniel isn't really to blame, but it's really silly that none of them have yet to consider this.

== CATCH UP #16 ==

'''Date:''' February 13, 2007, 2:45 p.m. EST

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Rescuing Daniel]]

Most of us were thrilled to see the old Bree back! She appeared confident. [[Tachyon]] seems to have become her role model now. She is sure she would like to be a "double agent," like Tachyon now. As always, click the above highlighted link for the transcript.

We had some really excellent fan videos submitted.

Voyboy's stands out this time. CobertNationGirl's Tachyon Tribute was good. I always enjoy Xenith's videos, and David Spock's was interesting because it reminds me of the show the "4100," with many people telling their storied about how they were affected by the Order. I wish I could mention all the videos, but it would take too long. The Return by dehteraew was awesome. No other words can describe it. I'm really enjoying [[HSA]]'s dream sequences, also.

== CATCH UP #15 ==

'''Date:''' February 12, 2007, 10:30 p.m. EST

'''VIDEO:'''

[[The Human Ransom]]

This video was probably the most warmly received of all LG-15 videos to date. "Wow!" was often heard. Speculations ran rampant. Many screenshots were taken and analyzed. Reading the transcript may help to clear up some confusion.

Is this an example of [[OpAphid]]'s new Story Arc, Parallax?

There are multiple examples in this film of multiple perspectives woven together.

== CATCH UP #14 ==

'''Date:''' February 9, 2007, 11:30 a.m. EST

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[http://one.revver.com/watch/167922/flv/affiliate/29920]

*[[Marbella]] has made several videos featuring water, since she states that it seems to be on her mind and in her dreams so much. The latest was:

Angels deeply affected her most recent video:

== CATCH UP #13 ==

'''Date:''' February 5, 2007, 3:08 p.m. EST (start)

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Bree's injections|EPOGEN]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

*More comments may be added later!

== CATCH UP #12 ==

'''Date:''' February 5, 2007, 1:50 p.m. EST (start)2:15(end)

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.
For definition, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5984]for the OpAphid forum discussion or
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax]
for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

== CATCH UP #11 ==

'''Date:''' February 2, 2007, 10:00 a.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:'''

[[The Cowboy]] came out at about 4 am EST last night. Just click on the name for the transcript. Many people seemed to find this video frustrating and/or confusing. Some fans really liked it. I didn't see any comments expressing excitement or love about the video, however. Our feelings right now seem to match [[Bree]]'s. A combination of frustration, apathy, disappointment and feeling trapped seem to sum up the LG-15 fan experience at present. We are loyal, however. We trust that the plot WILL move along. [[Jonas]] has arisen more suspicion lately and his trustworthiness has been debated quite a lot lately. This was the "fishiest" video yet. I'm seeing mackerels swim before my eyes!!!

== CATCH UP #10 ==

'''Date:''' January 31, 2007, 10:00 a.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/31/07, a new video was posted called, [[Sleepover]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*The response to this video was mixed last night. Some would have preferred more plot movement. Others really liked the video.

*'''THE MOVIES LISTED BY JONAS AND THEIR PLOT SUMMARIES'''

'''Plot Outline:''' The boyfriend of an abducted woman never gives up the search as the abductor looks on.

*'''Summary of the Plot of Breakdown:'''

Jeff and Amy Taylor are moving to California and must drive across the country. When they find themselves stranded in the middle of a desert with hardly anyone or anything around, their trip comes to a sudden halt. Amy had taken a ride with a friendly trucker to a small diner to call for help, but after a long time, Jeff becomes worried. He finds that no one in the diner has seen or heard from his wife. When he finds the trucker who gave Amy the ride, the trucker swears he has never seen her. Now Jeff must attempt to find his wife, who has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. But who can he trust?

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0118771/plotsummary]

'''*Note from Marbella:''' This is a VERY similar plot. This leads me to distrust Jonas more! I don't QUITE understand the "Three's Company" reference!

*In the General Video Forum, Iris said he was going to take a taxi last night to investigate the Holiday Inn where Jonas and Bree were staying. He called there and INDEED, the hotel IS currently booked!

*A very funny parody video was made by NickyNik on YouTube

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eoAFnL9-Y8U]

*Last night in the Community Forum, [[Marbella]] led the[Defense force] drill and each participant was graded on their performance on a test. Much fun was had by all. ApothesisAZ was pleased!

*Count tallies for each forum are no longer being tallied. They are predicted to remain fairly consistent. They offer no more useful information.

== CATCH UP #9 ==

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

== CATCH UP #8 ==

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*Two identical videos were posted to Revver, numbered 615 and 666.

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

*'''NOTABLE and FUNNY''': GemmasFlatmate Pointed this out: Remember how OpAphid referred to Daniel and Jonas as the "Wonder Twins?"

[http://www.firteen.com/articles/80sbabes/wondertwins/]
Take a look!! They are both wearing PURPLE!!!

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab.

Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it.

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Watch This!]]

In this video, a shady character is seen watching the trio in the house. [[Daniel]] calls [[Bree]] and [[Jonas]] to come and see. [[Jonas]] goes out and confronts the man, throwing a punch which is caught. Before the man can retaliate, [[Bree]] gets between the two, and the man withdraws. [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] run back and the three decide to leave the house. Many people pointed out Jonas' "Gangster Shrug" as annoying! There were mixed feelings about this video, some were all for Jonas attacking the man whereas some others were against it saying he shouldn't "think with his fists".

[[Valentine's Day Massacre]]

In this video, [[Jonas]] outlines the three courses of action the trio could take. None are in agreement at present about whether to run, stay, fight or surrender. Fans have been debating the three opinions of each character quite a bit. Many of us were intrigued by the references to "prohibition," and to "massacre," as these seemed to coincide with other aspects of the plot. No one had a problem with Jonas' hair in this video!

[[Drinking Problems]]

These are just [[Marbella]]'s thoughts, in summary. Of course,they do not represent the entire forum's opinion.

(1) Interesting family background on Daniel. Heartwarming the way he opened up that way. It makes sense that coming from an alcoholic family, he would try to drink his problems away.

(2) Jonas definitely encouraged it. He never went with him to drink, but he did encourage it. I realize Jonas fans are saying, "No Way," to this. So yeah, on the other hand, alcoholics DO tend to blame other people for their problems.

(3) Daniel is taking so much responsibility for his own actions and authentically expressing remorse that it does not seem he WOULD blame Jonas if it were not at least partially true.

(4) Getting out is RIGHT. I'm SURE the Order knows where they are by now.

---

Forgotten Purity, your friendly wielder of CrackPot Ideas, has some imput, as well.

1.) Consistently following my theory that the ad's following each episode are relevant to the plot, an ad for Absolut Vodka suspiciously followed this alcoholic episode.

2.) Marbella has a point that Jonas did nothing to help or prevent Daniel from drinking. But take into account that Jonas was really encouraging Daniel to have a life that didn't revolve solely around protecting Bree. Also, Jonas is rather naive having lived alone for the past couple of years, sheltered from society. Proof: Trusting Bree so quickly, believing undershirts are sexy, and encouraging Daniel to go drinking.

3.) I agree, Marbels. It's absolutely admirable and of utmost maturity that Daniel is taking so much responsibility for his actions. Kudos, my friend. Kudos.

4.) I'm slightly annoyed with Daniel, though, for even having a cell phone. Cell phones are incredibly easy to track, especially when you're resourceful as The Order. If they can bug a car, they can track a cell phone. Daniel isn't really to blame, but it's really silly that none of them have yet to consider this.

[[Rescuing Daniel]]

Most of us were thrilled to see the old Bree back! She appeared confident. [[Tachyon]] seems to have become her role model now. She is sure she would like to be a "double agent," like Tachyon now. As always, click the above highlighted link for the transcript.

We had some really excellent fan videos submitted.

Voyboy's stands out this time. CobertNationGirl's Tachyon Tribute was good. I always enjoy Xenith's videos, and David Spock's was interesting because it reminds me of the show the "4100," with many people telling their storied about how they were affected by the Order. I wish I could mention all the videos, but it would take too long. The Return by dehteraew was awesome. No other words can describe it. I'm really enjoying [[HSA]]'s dream sequences, also.

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Bree's injections|EPOGEN]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

*More comments may be added later!

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.
For definition, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5984]for the OpAphid forum discussion or
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax]
for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

I didn't see any comments expressing excitement or love about the video, however. Our feelings right now seem to match [[Bree]]'s. A combination of frustration, apathy, disappointment and feeling trapped seem to sum up the LG-15 fan experience at present. We are loyal, however. We trust that the plot WILL move along.

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

In this video, [[Jonas]] outlines the three courses of action the trio could take. None are in agreement at present about whether to run, stay, fight or surrender. Fans have been debating the three opinions of each character quite a bit.

[[Drinking Problems]]

These are just [[Marbella]]'s thoughts, in summary. Of course,they do not represent the entire forum's opinion.

(1) Interesting family background on Daniel. Heartwarming the way he opened up that way. It makes sense that coming from an alcoholic family, he would try to drink his problems away.

(2) Jonas definitely encouraged it. He never went with him to drink, but he did encourage it. I realize Jonas fans are saying, "No Way," to this. So yeah, on the other hand, alcoholics DO tend to blame other people for their problems.

(3) Daniel is taking so much responsibility for his own actions and authentically expressing remorse that it does not seem he WOULD blame Jonas if it were not at least partially true.

(4) Getting out is RIGHT. I'm SURE the Order knows where they are by now.

---

Forgotten Purity, your friendly wielder of CrackPot Ideas, has some imput, as well.

1.) Consistently following my theory that the ad's following each episode are relevant to the plot, an ad for Absolut Vodka suspiciously followed this alcoholic episode.

2.) Marbella has a point that Jonas did nothing to help or prevent Daniel from drinking. But take into account that Jonas was really encouraging Daniel to have a life that didn't revolve solely around protecting Bree. Also, Jonas is rather naive having lived alone for the past couple of years, sheltered from society. Proof: Trusting Bree so quickly, believing undershirts are sexy, and encouraging Daniel to go drinking.

3.) I agree, Marbels. It's absolutely admirable and of utmost maturity that Daniel is taking so much responsibility for his actions. Kudos, my friend. Kudos.

4.) I'm slightly annoyed with Daniel, though, for even having a cell phone. Cell phones are incredibly easy to track, especially when you're resourceful as The Order. If they can bug a car, they can track a cell phone. Daniel isn't really to blame, but it's really silly that none of them have yet to consider this.

Most of us were thrilled to see the old Bree back! She appeared confident. [[Tachyon]] seems to have become her role model now. She is sure she would like to be a "double agent," like Tachyon now. As always, click the above highlighted link for the transcript.

We had some really excellent fan videos submitted.

Voyboy's stands out this time. CobertNationGirl's Tachyon Tribute was good. I always enjoy Xenith's videos, and David Spock's was interesting because it reminds me of the show the "4100," with many people telling their storied about how they were affected by the Order. I wish I could mention all the videos, but it would take too long. The Return by dehteraew was awesome. No other words can describe it. I'm really enjoying [[HSA]]'s dream sequences, also.

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.
For definition, please see:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax]
for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

[[Drinking Problems]]

These are just [[Marbella]]'s thoughts, in summary. Of course,they do not represent the entire forum's opinion.

(1) Interesting family background on Daniel. Heartwarming the way he opened up that way. It makes sense that coming from an alcoholic family, he would try to drink his problems away.

(2) Jonas definitely encouraged it. He never went with him to drink, but he did encourage it. I realize Jonas fans are saying, "No Way," to this. So yeah, on the other hand, alcoholics DO tend to blame other people for their problems.

(3) Daniel is taking so much responsibility for his own actions and authentically expressing remorse that it does not seem he WOULD blame Jonas if it were not at least partially true.

(4) Getting out is RIGHT. I'm SURE the Order knows where they are by now.

[[Rescuing Daniel]]

Most of us were thrilled to see the old Bree back! She appeared confident. [[Tachyon]] seems to have become her role model now. She is sure she would like to be a "double agent," like Tachyon now. As always, click the above highlighted link for the transcript.

We had some really excellent fan videos submitted.

Voyboy's stands out this time. CobertNationGirl's Tachyon Tribute was good. I always enjoy Xenith's videos, and David Spock's was interesting because it reminds me of the show the "4100," with many people telling their storied about how they were affected by the Order. I wish I could mention all the videos, but it would take too long. The Return by dehteraew was awesome. No other words can describe it. I'm really enjoying [[HSA]]'s dream sequences, also.

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.

for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

'''WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE FORUMS I HAVE VISITED:'''
('''Please note: Anyone and Everyone is WELCOME to add their comments about the forums they have recently visited,and any further details they deem important!)'''

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab. Last night, a production of "Vampire Chicken Theater" was shown. We've discussed various aspects of the video and we have come to varied conclusions. Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

We had some really excellent fan videos submitted.

Voyboy's stands out this time. CobertNationGirl's Tachyon Tribute was good. I always enjoy Xenith's videos, and David Spock's was interesting because it reminds me of the show the "4100," with many people telling their storied about how they were affected by the Order. I wish I could mention all the videos, but it would take too long. The Return by dehteraew was awesome. No other words can describe it. I'm really enjoying [[HSA]]'s dream sequences, also.

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.
For definition, please see:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax]
for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab. Last night, a production of "Vampire Chicken Theater" was shown. We've discussed various aspects of the video and we have come to varied conclusions. Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[http://one.revver.com/watch/167922/flv/affiliate/29920]

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.

for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

But who can he trust?

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab.

Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.
For definition, please see:

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax]
for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab.

Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[http://one.revver.com/watch/167922/flv/affiliate/29920]

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

*More comments may be added later!

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.
For definition, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5984]for the OpAphid forum discussion or
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parallax]
for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*The HSA Video by Ms.Kelly is HYSTERICAL!! Thank you, Ms.Kelly! I really appreciate your making this video. It is time that Bree's ingratitude was pointed out!!

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H-s9IZRyc0]

*'''NOTABLE and FUNNY''': GemmasFlatmate Pointed this out: Remember how OpAphid referred to Daniel and Jonas as the "Wonder Twins?"

[http://www.firteen.com/articles/80sbabes/wondertwins/]
Take a look!! They are both wearing PURPLE!!!

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*The plan was for [[Katharine McPhee]] to appear in this show only. She was a lot of fun to have on the show!

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab.

Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

'''(6)Lonelygirl15 Psychosis'''

Marbella's newest video offers empathic advice and guidance to Bree, to help her to avoid spiraling downward into a deeper depression. This video is available on Revver and on YouTube.

'''Dr. Marbella's Advice to Bree'''

This video introduces the public to the new DanielBeast Fan Club that she founded. Since Daniel's self-esteem seemed to be lagging, this video was created:

'''Daniel is TOO Sexy!'''
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wcdNvsBWkM

(on YouTube only. Revver rejected it, due to the 1 min of copyrighted music.)

'''(3)Video #3'''
Certain fans were expressing boredom with the "Cassie-thread" that always seems to go nowhere. At the same time, Commander Cloud of the LG-15 Defense Force proclaimed that "The Mackerel" would replace Cassie as the "official group hallucination." This video was eerie and different from Marbella's usual style. Her voice was intentionally distorted. Still, the video was ridiculous, as usual.

'''I Killed Cassie'''
http://one.revver.com/watch/137187/flv/affiliate/38052

(on Revver and Youtube, but never submitted to the LG-15 site--There just hasn't felt like an "appropriate" time!)

'''(2)Video #2'''
Many fans have been concerned that Bree's stuffed animals contain tracking devices, or "bugs." In this video, Dr. Marbella (who holds a doctorate in Stuffed Animal Veterinary Medicine) explains how to remove "bugs" from Stuffed Friends.

== Marbella's Name and "Fan-ship" ==

Anybody want to ride with her on the "Fan Ship?" We promise it's not going to Hale Bopp!!

'''Marbella''' chose her name because she loves beautiful marbles. At the time she chose the name, she actually believed it was her own original creation!!

However,later she discovered that there is a Spanish village named Marbella, as well as a line of Pepperidge Farm cookies! Shortly after this, RosieIsWatching PM'd her to let her know that her name means, "Beautiful Sea" in Spanish. How fitting, since there is so much water imagery in the LG-15 series!!

Marbella is the Ambassador of the LG-15 [[Defense force]] and she is also [[Daniel]]'s Personal Ambassador, as she has founded his fan club. Marbella has also earned a LG-15 Defense Force Calvary Medal.
She is a moderator of the Community Forum.

== The "Real Person" ==

[[image:Laura.oct.11.06.JPEG]]

The "real person" behind Marbella is Laura Paxton. She is a 38 year old, born in Georgia, currently living in Durham, NC. Previously, she lived for five years in southern California. Laura does not look or feel even half her age. She has a high functioning autistic disorder, which offers her the gift of an "eternal child perspective,"loyalty, perseverance,conscientiousness, and detailed focus. Laura has made 7 videos to increase autism awareness. These are light-hearted, comedic videos that teach as they entertain. This set of videos is on YouTube.

Laura's challenges include sensory integration disorder, chronic neuralgia from having shingles twice in her mid-thirties, migraines, insomnia, and challenges with mood and attention. However, she has written a self-help book series, called ''Borderline and Beyond''. Many people with autism are misdiagnosed as having personality disorders, so her new book will shed light upon how and why this occurs and the damage that results.

Despite this, Laura holds two master's degrees and credit towards a PhD in Psychology. She worked for two years as a special education teacher and five years as a psychiatric case manager. She has had her own business, writing books published by the White Tiger Dream Press since November of 1999.

[[Storm The Castle]]

*Sadly, quite a lot of comments (and a very funny fan vid!) related to Jonas' hair in this video!

'''The [[OpAphid]] Hair Salon'''

by ColbertNationGirl:

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk]

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that [[Jonas]] and [[Bree]] would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

*Ms.Kelly's video amazed me. I've had similar dreams for a long time of water and angels. I believe that somehow we are all somewhat connected in a psychic way within the [[Breeniverse]].

[http://one.revver.com/watch/167922/flv/affiliate/29920]

*[[Marbella]] has made several videos featuring water, since she states that it seems to be on her mind and dreams in herso much. The latest was:

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

[[The Cowboy]] came out at about 4 am EST last night. Just click on the name for the transcript. Many people seemed to find this video frustrating and/or confusing. Some fans really liked it. I didn't see any comments expressing excitement or love about the video, however. Our feelings right now seem to match [[Bree]]'s. A combination of frustration, apathy, disappointment and feeling trapped seem to sum up the LG-15 fan experience at present. We are loyal, however. We trust that the plot WILL move along. [[Jonas]] has arisen more suspicion lately and his trustworthiness has been debated quite a lot lately. This was the "fishiest" video yet. I'm seeing mackerels swim before my eyes!!!

*'''Summary of the Plot of Breakdown:'''

Jeff and Amy Taylor are moving to California and must drive across the country. When they find themselves stranded in the middle of a desert with hardly anyone or anything around, their trip comes to a sudden halt. Amy had taken a ride with a friendly trucker to a small diner to call for help, but after a long time, Jeff becomes worried. He finds that no one in the diner has seen or heard from his wife. When he finds the trucker who gave Amy the ride, the trucker swears he has never seen her. Now Jeff must attempt to find his wife, who has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. But who can he trust?

'''*Note from Marbella:''' This is a VERY similar plot. This leads me to distrust Jonas more! I don't QUITE understand the "Three's Company" reference!

*In the General Video Forum, Iris said he was going to take a taxi last night to investigate the Holiday Inn where Jonas and Bree were staying. He called there and INDEED, the hotel IS currently booked!

*A very funny parody video was made by NickyNik on YouTube

*Last night in the Community Forum, [[Marbella]] led the[Defense force] drill and each participant was graded on their performance on a test. Much fun was had by all. ApothesisAZ was pleased!

== CATCH UP #9 ==

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

by ColbertNationGirl:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MVGgeXnTiPk

*Jonas lovers tended to love the idea Jonas had of "Storming The Castle." The most applauded quote was, "I'm glad someone is being proactive!"

*Many other fans were surprised that Jonas would actually come out and say that he should "storm the castle," since they were hoping that Jonas and Bree would keep it a secret that they were going to sabotage the order. Other fans were shocked that he seemed to be about to force Bree to "go through it all alone." Another reaction was that Jonas still appears to be on drugs. Since a lot of main message board posts were about "Is Jonas on blow?" we all laughed when he zoomed into the camera, (apparently to show us that his pupil wasn't dilated) in [[The Unthinkable Happened]] video.

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

*More comments may be added later!

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

[[The Cowboy]] came out at about 4 am EST last night. Just click on the name for the transcript. Many people seemed to find this video frustrating and/or confusing. Some fans really liked it. I didn't see any comments expressing excitement or love about the video, however. Our feelings right now seem to match [[Bree]]'s. A combination of frustration, apathy, disappointment and feeling trapped seem to sum up the LG-15 fan experience at present. We are loyal, however. We trust that the plot WILL move along. [[Jonas]] has arisen more suspicion lately and his trustworthiness has been debated quite a lot lately. This was the "fishiest" video yet. I'm seeing mackerels swim before my eyes!!!

*'''Summary of the Plot of Breakdown:'''

Jeff and Amy Taylor are moving to California and must drive across the country. When they find themselves stranded in the middle of a desert with hardly anyone or anything around, their trip comes to a sudden halt. Amy had taken a ride with a friendly trucker to a small diner to call for help, but after a long time, Jeff becomes worried. He finds that no one in the diner has seen or heard from his wife. When he finds the trucker who gave Amy the ride, the trucker swears he has never seen her. Now Jeff must attempt to find his wife, who has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. But who can he trust?

'''*Note from Marbella:''' This is a VERY similar plot. This leads me to distrust Jonas more! I don't QUITE understand the "Three's Company" reference!

*In the General Video Forum, Iris said he was going to take a taxi last night to investigate the Holiday Inn where Jonas and Bree were staying. He called there and INDEED, the hotel IS currently booked!

*A very funny parody video was made by NickyNik on YouTube

== CATCH UP #9 ==

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

[[Me For Daniel]]

*As always, click the link above for a transcript. The plot is moving along more quickly. Enthusiasm grows. Some fans speculate that Bree wants Lucy to email so that she can find the location and she and Jonas can go to save Daniel. Other fans believe that she really has reached a point of surrender. Either speculation makes sense. For Bree to be willing to give so much of herself shows a different side of her completely. Bree may be growing to the point where she wants to give of herself to others. However, many people are scared of the outcome, believing that Bree may be killed as a human sacrifice. Others speculate some of her blood will just be taken as a part of the ceremony. The "blood theories" emanate from the [[Epogen]] injections she was given when she lived at home.

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*The latest LG-15 video shown was [[Truth Or Dare]] and following this link will take you to the full transcript. American Idol Runner-Up [[Katharine McPhee]] guest starred!

*The plan was for [[Katharine McPhee]] to appear in this show only. She was a lot of fun to have on the show!

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

'''WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE FORUMS I HAVE VISITED:'''
('''Please note: Anyone and Everyone is WELCOME to add their comments about the forums they have recently visited,and any further details they deem important!)'''

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab. Last night, a production of "Vampire Chicken Theater" was shown. We've discussed various aspects of the video and we have come to varied conclusions. Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.

for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

I didn't see any comments expressing excitement or love about the video, however. Our feelings right now seem to match [[Bree]]'s. A combination of frustration, apathy, disappointment and feeling trapped seem to sum up the LG-15 fan experience at present. We are loyal, however. We trust that the plot WILL move along.

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*The latest LG-15 video shown was [[Truth Or Dare]] and following this link will take you to the full transcript. American Idol Runner-Up [[Katharine McPhee]] guest starred!

*The plan was for [[Katharine McPhee]] to appear in this show only. She was a lot of fun to have on the show!

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

'''WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE FORUMS I HAVE VISITED:'''
('''Please note: Anyone and Everyone is WELCOME to add their comments about the forums they have recently visited,and any further details they deem important!)'''

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab. Last night, a production of "Vampire Chicken Theater" was shown. We've discussed various aspects of the video and we have come to varied conclusions. Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

'''VIDEO:'''

[[Miss Me?]] (click on the colored link to view the transcript!)

*Fans literally went WILD over this video! We loved it. No complaints, really. The forum had over 2x the number of participants (at least from my estimation!) Many new people and also new registered members were greeted. "Eerie," and "Creepy," were words used to describe this video. Much concern for Daniel was expressed.

*Theories about Why Daniel Made This Video:
(a) He was drugged.
(b) He was forced, via torture.
(c) He never said those words. OpAphid edited it for that appearance.
(d) He was brainwashed.
(e) All of the above!!

*Many viewers pointed out that Daniel is using lots of "street slang," and that he sounds like a "gangsta." Most of us thought this was out of character, but someone brought up that when Daniel made P*Monkey talk, he used this "gangsta" type of conversational style.

*Breaking the Code: Message Board members immediately picked up on the Braille-like code. Later, forum members reversed the order of these symbols and discovered a phone number. When they called the number 818-574-8347, they received a message from Daniel:"Hey this is Daniel, leave a message if you want to. but i'll only call back girls who agree to do the ceremony. [whisper] Bree Do the ceremony.
For more information, please see:
[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5979]

*Later, [[itscassie]] released a video, with the same tone, music and bright light atomsphere, stating, "Do the ceremony, Bree!"

*[[OpAphid]] has a new story arc and has changed the "I in Ophid" forum to "Parallax," a new concept to guide future videos.
For definition, please see:

for the Wikipedia definition.

*[[Marbella]]'s video, Follow Me, was a response to "The Cowboy," but in this video, she merges images of Bree with OpAphid and with herself. This video fits even better with the new video storyline.

*ApotheosisAZ and Flautapantera have become new moderators. Congratulations!

*Josh stated that Daniel had the same beard and was wearing the same shirt that he had on before the VH-1 awards. Hmmm? This author has no way to confirm this statement, but it is interesting.

[[The Cowboy]] came out at about 4 am EST last night. Just click on the name for the transcript. Many people seemed to find this video frustrating and/or confusing. Some fans really liked it. I didn't see any comments expressing excitement or love about the video, however. Our feelings right now seem to match [[Bree]]'s. A combination of frustration, apathy, disappointment and feeling trapped seem to sum up the LG-15 fan experience at present. We are loyal, however. We trust that the plot WILL move along. [[Jonas]] has arisen more suspicion lately and his trustworthiness has been debated quite a lot lately. This was the "fishiest" video yet. I'm seeing mackerels swim before my eyes!!!

But who can he trust?

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

Watch this video by SAlexander:

*'''ApotheosisAZ:''' "The ID picked up by ladron121 that I provided a link to here yesterday was confirmed by Op as the drop."

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GRAND TOTAL POSTS:''' 122

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*The latest LG-15 video shown was [[Truth Or Dare]] and following this link will take you to the full transcript. American Idol Runner-Up [[Katharine McPhee]] guest starred!

*The plan was for [[Katharine McPhee]] to appear in this show only. She was a lot of fun to have on the show!

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

'''WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE FORUMS I HAVE VISITED:'''
('''Please note: Anyone and Everyone is WELCOME to add their comments about the forums they have recently visited,and any further details they deem important!)'''

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab. Last night, a production of "Vampire Chicken Theater" was shown. We've discussed various aspects of the video and we have come to varied conclusions. Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

'''Marbella''' chose her name because she loves beautiful marbles. At the time she chose the name, she actually believed it was her own original creation!!

However,later she discovered that there is a Spanish village named Marbella, as well as a line of Pepperidge Farm cookies! Shortly after this, RosieIsWatching PM'd her to let her know that her name means, "Beautiful Sea" in Spanish. How fitting, since there is so much water imagery in the LG-15 series!!

Marbella is the Ambassador of the LG-15 [[Defense force]] and she is also [[Daniel]]'s Personal Ambassador, as she has founded his fan club. Marbella has also earned a LG-15 Defense Force Calvary Medal.
She is a moderator of the Community Forum.

== The "Real Person" ==

[[image:Laura.oct.11.06.JPEG]]

The "real person" behind Marbella is Laura Paxton. She is a 38 year old, born in Georgia, currently living in Durham, NC. Previously, she lived for five years in southern California. Laura does not look or feel even half her age. She has a high functioning autistic disorder, which offers her the gift of an "eternal child perspective,"loyalty, perseverance,conscientiousness, and detailed focus. Laura has made 7 videos to increase autism awareness. These are light-hearted, comedic videos that teach as they entertain. This set of videos is on YouTube.

Laura's challenges include sensory integration disorder, chronic neuralgia from having shingles twice in her mid-thirties, migraines, insomnia, and challenges with mood and attention. However, she has written a self-help book series, called ''Borderline and Beyond''. Many people with autism are misdiagnosed as having personality disorders, so her new book will shed light upon how and why this occurs and the damage that results.

Despite this, Laura holds two master's degrees and credit towards a PhD in Psychology. She worked for two years as a special education teacher and five years as a psychiatric case manager. She has had her own business, writing books published by the White Tiger Dream Press since November of 1999.

Marbella: /* Catch up */

==Welcome and the Preview Button==
Hi Marbella, 
Glad you're posting on the wiki; it's amazing how you divide your time btwn the comments board, the forum, and here. Just wanted to ask that you use the Preview button before saving pages so you're sure it looks the way you want it to before you save. There are two reasons for this. Multiple edits tend to clog up the [[Special:Recentchanges]] page, which we use to monitor for vandalism. It also makes the article's history page drawn out, making it more onerous to track changes since everyone becomes forced to click through many many little edits, instead of a few significant changes. Other than that, keep up the good work! I'm enjoying your edits. [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 12:35, 14 January 2007 (CST)

Dear OwenIsCool,

Thank you for letting me know that I'm providing a useful service that you are enjoying. I realize this is the 2nd time I've been informed that I'm making multiple edits and that I should minimize them. The answer is that I'm trying really hard. However, several times, things just happen: my IE will crash, my PC will crash, my internet connection will go down.

I cannot tell you how many times I have lost the page. Therefore, I am saving frequently. I suppose I could just write it in word, copy and paste it here, check it in the preview and then just upload once. Another problem I have is that I do not see every problem until it is already on-line.

All I can say is that I will continue to work on this!! I apologize.

Marbella, 12:33 p.m.

:Hi Marbella, 
:If you're having that much trouble with your computer, I more than understand the frequent saves (I've lost my pages before too... ''so frustrating!''). Anyway, it's probably not worth your trouble to work on it in a word processor, since that wouldn't bring up the code errors, only spelling and grammar. Just keep up the good work with your pages and the forums and all, and do encourage people to come edit! Also if there's anything I can do to help (formatting, pictures, I dunno) just post on my Talk page and I'll be glad to see what I can do. [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 00:01, 30 January 2007 (CST)

==Catch up==
Hi Marbella,

I've been looking at the [[Catch Up]] page and the [[Newcomer Guide]] and trying to think of ways to integrate them. I have to admit -- I don't exactly understand the purpose of the catch-up page. We already update the main page of the wiki to display the newest videos. Then, in the video page, we have a notes section, where we provide the relevant information about the video. It seems to me that a lot of information in the Catch Up page should simply be put in video notes.

Other information, like post count, is always changing, even once the next video is out. And I'm uncomfortable having data like this that is always going to be inaccurate. Perhaps it would be better to summarize information about the forums in the forums? I'm sure the moderators could create a dedicated thread for catch-ups. And it seems to me that the people who read the forums would rather look in the forums to catch-up.

On the other hand, I really like the Newcomer Guide. I think that with some more work, we could include it prominently on the Main Page of the wiki to help guide people who are just finding LG. We could add links to [[The Story So Far...]] and link to the [[LonelyGirl15Recaps]] videos, and really make this page a resource. It's something I'd like to work on soon!--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 23:18, 29 January 2007 (CST)

Hi Jay Henry,

'''Thanks for your feedback!!'''

I've been told by many people that the daily "catch up" is a far simpler and more helpful tool than the main page, especially for newcomers. Bethy (who originally sent me some acrimonious posts!) has even e-mailed to thank me for producing the daily "catch ups."
I can leave off the "post counts" if you want. I only do it because I get a little OCD and I am curious about it.

I'm glad you like the Newcomer Guide, and I would be happy to work with you to polish it up. Instead of "recap," "catch up" is better liked, because of the pun on the word "catsup," or "ketchup." What I'm doing is NOT a recap. I'm summarizing each forum, fan videos, current video, etc. It's more of a panoramic synthesis.

Please let me know how you'd like to get started with this project. I am enjoying doing what I'm doing very much. Believe it or not, I would do it whether or not it was in the LGpedia. It just helps me to take notes. Thanks.

Marbella, 12:30 a.m.

I'll think about the newcomer guide, and think about ways to make it more integrated. As for post counts, if you want to keep track of it, that's more than okay. Perhaps the best solutions for the catch-ups is to let you do your thing with the catch-ups, and we'll keep doing our thing with the Main Page. They seem to have pretty different philosophies, but I think they can both be a useful entrypoint to the LGPedia.

Side note on anagrams: An anagram ''is'' simply a word scramble. You can look it up on wikipedia if you don't believe me. When a word is composed of the first letter of other words, that's an acronym.--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 23:41, 29 January 2007 (CST)

To Jay Henry,

Whoops!!I do believe you. I will take that out about anagrams. I think I'm just tired and mildly snippy :)
Is there any way to link the "Catch Up" and/or the "Newcomer Page" to the main page, for those looking for a more simplified alternative. Feedback I've received from newbies is that the LGpedia overwhelms them (esp. the front page.) Therefore, they just ask the same questions over and over. At least now, I can say, "Just click my sig for answers!"

This is a copy of the E-Mail from Bethy:

Subject: I love your Catch Up Guide

I know you probably still hate my guts...well, I hope you don't.
But I wanted to say that I just found your Catch Up Guide on LGPedia and I really like it. It's concise, informative and helpful. A lot of the LGpedia can be difficult to wade through and I think you've done a bang-up job of summarizing many of things that often get missed in all the hoopla. For some time now, I'd been hoping somebody with *good* writing skills could take the time to do something like that. Thanks for stepping up.

from Marbella at 12:56 a.m.

(p.s. Why does only the first line of her email appear in the box? Thanks!!)

:The first line is indented with two spaces. If you take them off, the box goes away. Likewise, if you indent another line with the two spaces, the box will come back. I left it as it was so you could try it. Funny, I hadn't realized that's how it worked until now... guess you learn something new everyday! [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 00:04, 30 January 2007 (CST)

Thanks for clarifying this. I have wondered this for a very long time now!! Anyway, I think it's interesting that someone who previously despised me is so happy about the "Catch Up." She's spreading the word around. More people are regularly reading it. I've read posts where people are reading it and discussing it.

Oh and I'm really happy you would like to help make these pages a more accessible resource!!

== Catch up ==

Marbella, I saw in your latest catch-up that you now think Jonas is a member of the Order. I'm curious as to why. I didn't come away with that impression at all. While personal theories are great in the forums (that's what the forums are for!) we have a higher standard at the LGPedia. If there's really compelling evidence, please share that evidence so people can draw their own conclusions -- but if it's mostly just a personal hunch, that really doesn't belong here at the wiki. Thanks!--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 12:12, 2 February 2007 (CST)

Hi Marbella, if you check out my user page it says how to contact me. You can send an [[Special:Emailuser/JayHenry|e-mail through the LGPedia]], or you can PM me at the forum (where my name is JayHank.) --[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 14:35, 3 February 2007 (CST)

The email function wasn't working, although I was logged in and have a valid email address. I didn't know JayHank as your PM name. I tried JayHenry. Finally, I sent you kind of a long email on MySpace. Thanks, M--[[User:Marbella|Marbella]] 16:25, 3 February 2007 (CST)

:It seems that we need a policy on fan pages. Probably at [[LGPedia: Fan pages]]. There have been issues with this before, and if we just develop a policy, it gives us something to turn to. I notice their appears to be a small revert war around the Unofficial Spin-Offs section of the main page as well. Our new policy should address that.--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 14:34, 2 January 2007 (CST)

Thanks, for the idea of that. im going to let everone else write the policy because i did that last two policys..or was it three. so what ever any decides..i just think if they make enough video's they should have a fan page any others should be a user page :) as well as i like my page its just never up to date. thanks agian :) --[[User:Iris2009|Iris2009]] 15:16, 2 January 2007 (CST)

LG15 to a large degree is supposed to be about promoting fanfic storylines. What I have found most often promoted is abuse. As any other tools for creating and maintaining a storyline are lacking, I find that the LGpedia is a good medium through which to try and convey the story and provide any external data in one place. I know for myself personally I have a LOT of work to do to bring in quite a few external links from a few places that they have been posted and get it organized so people can go through it and say OHHH!...that is where that came from. I don't have enough fans that remember or understand where all this stuff is posted. IF I don't self edit/self promote nobody will ever understand what the heck was really trying to be conveyed. Nobody can actually do it for me. I realize that a Pedia is supposed to be an encyclopedic tome and not a storybook but considering we have no other good alternatives, I have decided its my best shot to get my data organized and things told in a coherent fashion, especially since it's got MOST of the externals to my story right there for me to link to. My intention is to get it up to what I consider full speed and then..let it go. It boils down to this..most people are lazy and just wanna watch..until I made the page for myself it didn't exist..even to say "You suck more than Hoover." Generally, right now I am riding rough shod over it trying to get it to a certain point. If had been doing it all along..I might not have had to do it mostly myself...but.. it's at a point now.. Nobody else can do it. I'll more than likely get in some revert wars in the next few weeks..but it's something I need to do to keep my thoughts organized until the true framework is there..then..I'll let things roll from there. That's not saying I am gonna revert any changes or additions..even negative ones..it just depends on how it disrupts where I am trying to get the page to. Actually, I am sure it was MsKelly that added the info about my HSAO video and that was welcome and I added to that..the..umm negative part..haha.
As a matter of fact..I think I am the person responsible for much of the talk here today.
I was in the revert war. I moved myself and some others that I thought belonged on the front page with the other fanfiction. The actual war that was brewing was over the order the names were in. My position was Alphabetize...their's was to put my link last. I am kind of middle of the alphabet so honestly that's actually less likely to be noticed than first or last. It was a pretty nonsensical move on their part if you ask me and some others agreed. That point is moot now since the front page is redesigned and I really like it for the most part. Now for the other matter...Iris's issue and self promotion/self editing.
*First rule of Self promotion/self editing - DO NOT IMPLY YOU MIGHT BE CANON.
*Second rule of Sp/Sm - DO NOT IMPLY YOU MIGHT BE CANON.
*Third rule of Sp/Sm - DO NOT IMPLY YOU MIGHT BE CANON.
Iris I was the one that was changing your page and actually everything I wrote were things that people had said or that happened..except the pepto comment and well..that was funny and not really hateful cause I mean..C'mon..Habenero Peppers? DUDE? YOU NEED SOME PINK STUFF after that..though I actually intended to take that out..a boy has to have a LITTLE fun. Part of the point I was trying to get across to you was that you need to STOP claiming you are official or implying it. With that said.. GO back to doing your own page to get it started. Stick to the facts. [[LordGreystoke422]] 5 january 10:14

awww, it's nice to be missed. I have been lurking and making a few anonymous contributions here and there. I think I'm in a Bree-like state of shock over what the story has turned into.

== Frank ==
Clicking the name [[Frank]] on the [[cassieiswatching]] page or elsewhere brings you to the [[Frankiswaking]]page. As far as I can tell these are two separate individuals. How can I undo that redirect for the word Frank so I can make a separate page for disucssion about the now allegedly deceased Frank for the blogspot page. [[LordGreystoke422]] 9:43 11 January 2007 (CST)
:Jay I am not sure exactly what a disambiguation page means exactly in this context. Obviously it deals with removing any ambiguity, of which there is PLENTY with the word Frank. I am assuming that Frank will be an all encompassing page with short discussions of each "Frank" defining each and discussions on their relations or lack thereof, with more detailed analysis of each "Frank" on their own VERY SPECIFICALLY defined Page. i.e. Frankiswaking, BlogSpot Frank(canyouhearher.blogspot.com),Uncle Franklin,G-mail Frank. It is INDEED very confusing but ultimately could be great fun to work on because there's a lot of SPECULATIVE stuff involved here...Canon LG15,Canon CiW..possible jacking on multiple levels. Since it's such a mess it lends itself well to playing with the word..since the situation is so totally "Franked" up. Just as long as we all put our heads together and don't tell each other to "Frank" off..we'll be fine.(Sorry..an old joke from when BlogSpot Frank "died".) I do have a pretty good idea in my head of EXACTLY who each Frank is as a separate entity so I think we can get there. [[LordGreystoke422]] 10:24 11 January 2007 (CST)

== Bree's religion ==

Hey JayHenry, 
I saw Bree's religion on your to-do list. I was wondering if you'd like to merge that with the Order article, since Bree's religion is actually the Order. When I was trying to rewrite it, I included a section on the religious undertones of the Order, so that section could probably accomodate the "Bree's religion" content well. Whadya think? [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 20:19, 18 January 2007 (CST)

:Oh wow, somehow I missed that you had done all that work on [[The Order]] article. Huge improvement! Yeah, I think we can merge the two articles, in fact, let me go formally propose that we do exactly that. And then, we can start working on improving the entire religion category.--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 21:01, 18 January 2007 (CST)

::Actually, I went to write the merge proposal and it occured to me that maybe we should keep [[Bree's religion]] as a separate article. Maybe a change of name is due, but it'd be nice to have separate articles for "What we know about The Order" and "How Bree's religion played into the story both before and after it was known to be The Order." Does that make sense?--[[User:JayHenry|JayHenry]] 21:04, 18 January 2007 (CST)

:::Yeah, I see what you mean. That could work too. I say definitely give it a shot, and if it doesn't prove worthwhile, you can always just merge it to the Order article. If we keep them separate, they should each probably link to each other prominently. [[User:OwenIsCool|OwenIsCool]] 14:10, 21 January 2007 (CST)

== "Danial" vandal ==
I think we got it all. When I click on their user contributions I don't see rollback on any of them. Of course, that could just be because someone else has done other edits since then, but it's unlikely. LG422 was on it right away, and so was another anonymous user. I only reverted about a third of it. Thankfully it all came from the same IP, so even if it's a pain to go through all the edits, at least there's a full list of them. Or to be sure we could run a search for "Danial", that should turn up any vandalized pages. Honestly, this moron beat the pants off StarLady and her page-blanking... at least she quit after like 10.

I didn't see any comments expressing excitement or love about the video, however. Our feelings right now seem to match [[Bree]]'s. A combination of frustration, apathy, disappointment and feeling trapped seem to sum up the LG-15 fan experience at present. We are loyal, however. We trust that the plot WILL move along.

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

== CATCH UP #8 ==

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

[http://one.revver.com/watch/152808]

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H-s9IZRyc0]

*'''NOTABLE and FUNNY''': GemmasFlatmate Pointed this out: Remember how OpAphid referred to Daniel and Jonas as the "Wonder Twins?"

[http://www.firteen.com/articles/80sbabes/wondertwins/]

'''GRAND TOTAL POSTS:''' 122

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''Apo has scheduled our next "training exercise" for 10:30 p.m. CST. ALL DEFENSE FORCE MEMBERS WHO ARE ABLE MUST ATTEND. This will be a test of our reflexes.'''

'''GRAND TOTAL POSTS:''' 348

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*The latest LG-15 video shown was [[Truth Or Dare]] and following this link will take you to the full transcript. American Idol Runner-Up [[Katharine McPhee]] guest starred!

*The plan was for [[Katharine McPhee]] to appear in this show only. She was a lot of fun to have on the show!

*[[OpAphid]]'s Last Video was [[The Ends Justify The Means]]

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

'''WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE FORUMS I HAVE VISITED:'''
('''Please note: Anyone and Everyone is WELCOME to add their comments about the forums they have recently visited,and any further details they deem important!)'''

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab. Last night, a production of "Vampire Chicken Theater" was shown. We've discussed various aspects of the video and we have come to varied conclusions. Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

[[The Cowboy]] came out at about 4 am EST last night. Just click on the name for the transcript. Many people seemed to find this video frustrating and/or confusing. Some fans really liked it. I didn't see any comments expressing excitement or love about the video, however. Our feelings right now seem to match [[Bree]]'s. A combination of frustration, apathy, disappointment and feeling trapped seem to sum up the LG-15 fan experience at present. We are loyal, however. We trust that the plot WILL move along. The only thing I ([[Marbella]]) learned from this video is that [[Jonas]] is almost definitely with the [[Order]] (which I suspected all along!)

This was the "fishiest" video yet. I'm seeing mackerels swim before my eyes!!!

Jeff and Amy Taylor are moving to California and must drive across the country. When they find themselves stranded in the middle of a desert with hardly anyone or anything around, their trip comes to a sudden halt. Amy had taken a ride with a friendly trucker to a small diner to call for help, but after a long time, Jeff becomes worried. He finds that no one in the diner has seen or heard from his wife. When he finds the trucker who gave Amy the ride, the trucker swears he has never seen her. Now Jeff must attempt to find his wife, who has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. But who can he trust?

'''*Note from Marbella:''' This is a VERY similar plot. This leads me to distrust Jonas more! I don't QUITE understand the "Three's Company" reference!

*In the General Video Forum, Iris said he was going to take a taxi last night to investigate the Holiday Inn where Jonas and Bree were staying. He called there and INDEED, the hotel IS currently booked!

*A very funny parody video was made by NickyNik on YouTube

== CATCH UP #9 ==

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add.

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.

*Newcomers (please see [[Newcomer Guide]])should be aware that this video contains footage of Daniel's bedroom BEFORE he went to [[Jonas]]' house. He said he came because he found the hidden camera in his room. Some have speculated that [[OpAphid]] WANTED [[Daniel]] to find the camera there, as if they were drawing him to [[Jonas]]' house.

'''WHAT'S BEEN GOING ON IN THE FORUMS I HAVE VISITED:'''
('''Please note: Anyone and Everyone is WELCOME to add their comments about the forums they have recently visited,and any further details they deem important!)'''

*In The Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse),[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=103] we've re-organized the LG-15 [[Defense force]] to add a Science Lab. Last night, a production of "Vampire Chicken Theater" was shown. We've discussed various aspects of the video and we have come to varied conclusions. Afterwards, we chase down the vampire chickens with KABOOM!

*On the general message board, members seem to still be adjusting to the format change, and they are voicing their various feelings about it. A discussion about the origin of the Deacons posts was held mid-afternoon. I wasn't in there long today. I hope that those who were will fill us in more about the overall gist of conversation today.

When he finds the trucker who gave Amy the ride, the trucker swears he has never seen her. Now Jeff must attempt to find his wife, who has been kidnapped and is being held for ransom. But who can he trust?

'''*Note from Marbella:''' This is a VERY similar plot. This leads me to distrust Jonas more! I don't QUITE understand the "Three's Company" reference!

== CATCH UP #9 ==

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD."

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

*'''NOTABLE and FUNNY''': GemmasFlatmate Pointed this out: Remember how OpAphid referred to Daniel and Jonas as the "Wonder Twins?"

[http://www.firteen.com/articles/80sbabes/wondertwins/]
Take a look!! They are both wearing PURPLE!!!

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''Date:''' January 29, 2007, 1130 p.m. EST (start)12:30(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Tonight, 1/29/07, a new video was posted called, [[Looking For Daniel]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Overall, fans had an excited response to this video. It has been described as "creepy," "intriguing," and "one of the best vids so far." [[Marbella]] commented that it reminded her of the scene from Coppolla's version of Bram Stoker's Dracula, when they are traveling up the mountain!

*'''Notable Symbols:''' In [[Brother]]'s Video, Gemma V, first, we see a '''white van'''. Next, there is a '''white room''' with a briefcase. In the corner, for a brief second, one can see a '''cross'''. [[Looking For Daniel]] shows a Celtic cross. Celtic crosses are traditionally a symbol foreshadowing death. In [[Cassieiswatching]]'s video, Revelation 3, she shows a young girl with a Celtic cross, standing beside the ocean. A viewer on [[YouTube]] commented that the scene was copied from the on-line video game ''Second Life''. However, why would this have been posted, were it not relevant?

*The White Van-This van first appears in the parking lot of [[Pins and Pints]]. There is a man standing outside of it, partially covering his face and wearing a straw hat. Some have thought he might be [[Brother]] or [[Bree's father]]. The van is also seen following them up the highway.

*People have played around non-stop with [[Daniel]]'s text message, "NO GOOD." FYI, an anagram is a word made up of other words. Each letter in the original word begins a new word. a "letter scramble" does not constitute an anagram!!

*'''Fans are excited''' about the blackout for the last few seconds of the video. Joe (who regularly posts on the video comment board,) noticed that the video cuts out at 1-1-7! This is the opposite of 7-11! For those not aware of the significance of this, please refer to [[Orange Slurpee]]

*'''Many theories''' have been generated about what is going on and what will happen next. It may interest readers that animal researcher and autistic woman, Temple Grandin, PhD, points out that within animals and humans, the pleasure circuit of the brain is tied to "the search," or "the hunt." The journey really is more pleasurable than the destination. Sadly, in this case, it will definitely bear true.

*'''Theory #1''': Daniel is with Brother, yet they are in danger, so he has to send the text message to Bree.

*'''Theory #2''': Jonas is systematically kidnapping Bree, following Daniel.

*'''Theory #3''': The white vans are from The Order. Please note: This is not known for sure. It is a THEORY!

'''Date:''' January 28, 2007, 2:20 p.m. EST (start) 3:03 p.m.(end)

'''VIDEO:''' Yesterday, 1/27/07, a new video was posted called, [[Daniel's Missing!]] and a transcript is available via clicking on the movie name.

*Fans had a lukewarm response to this video, complaining about its "predictability" and "Bree's half-hearted apology." Speculation is (of course!) that [[OpAphid]] has [[Daniel]]. Also, ApotheosisAZ has hypothesized that [[Tachyon]] may have showed up in time to save Daniel. [[Brother]] is another possibility. Of course, [[Daniel]] could have ended up with "some girl," which would disappoint most viewers. Oh, and just about everyone has agreed that the most boring and disappointing outcome would be for [[Daniel]] to just show up, stating that nothing happened.

*'''HyeMew states''': So Bree calls the highway patrol when Daniel goes missing, yet she's too afraid to call the police when she's living in alleys or say... when her dad is MURDERED because "the police are in on it"? Bit of an inconsistency there! [[Marbella]] notes: Is Daniel DEAD? Could another death happen so quickly in this series?

*'''Major Theories:'''

Some fans have wondered if there is "significance" to the globe in the background. Several fans became excited that it may be "Fiji," but someone better versed in geography pointed out they were referring to the wrong ocean, and South Africa was more likely. No one knows for sure whether this has relevance, whatsoever. It IS significant that Bree appears to be in DANIEL's room. Why would Daniel have the globe turned like that? Coincidence? [[Marbella]]'s question: Why would Daniel be so stupid? Does he WANT to meet the order?

*'''Other Possibilities:'''

(1) Daniel is trying to "teach Bree a lesson."

(2) Daniel has been kidnapped because Bree is who they really want. They are hoping she will care for him enough to give herself up.

*On this page: Screenshots from the [[Truth Or Dare]] video vs. this one. Also, a map of Fiji vs. what we see on the globe.

*Two identical videos were posted to Revver, numbered 615 and 666.

'''FAN VIDEOS:'''

*The HSA Video by Ms.Kelly is HYSTERICAL!! Thank you, Ms.Kelly! I really appreciate your making this video. It is time that Bree's ingratitude was pointed out!!

[http://one.revver.com/watch/152808]

*It's Cassie: Well done as usual! This time it seemed to be a lot more like an LG-15 "canon" vid, due to her reactions as she looked at the contents in the bag. She strongly suspects Jonas' house as unsafe!!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H-s9IZRyc0]

*'''NOTABLE and FUNNY''': GemmasFlatmate Pointed this out: Remember how OpAphid referred to Daniel and Jonas as the "Wonder Twins?"

[http://www.firteen.com/articles/80sbabes/wondertwins/]
Take a look!! They are both wearing PURPLE!!!

*Last (but hopefully, certainly not least!) [[Marbella]] has blown up the statue in Daniel's bedroom where Bree made the video. She has possibly identified who the statue represents.

*'''Much controversy''' surrounds OpAphid's retreival of Daniel's ID. Is there a group known as "Geocache" making fake drops and trying to throw off the order?

Watch this video by SAlexander:

ApotheosisAZ is planning drill training for [[Defense force]] members tomorrow. [[Marbella]] may produce another "emoticon show." Times are to be arranged.

'''The biggest news''' last night is that Nikki Bower's true identity was revealed as...
Alli D. or Alli Danziger!

For those who do not know, Nikki Bower is the reporter who follows Bree and Daniel around!!

On January 25, famous blogger Milowent exposed her identity in a blogpost. There is much speculation that "Milowent," is actually Miles, one of the creators of the series!

For more information about this revelation, follow the following link: [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/lgpedia/index.php?title=Alli_Danziger]]

Speculation is now that she is a part of the Order? Why else would she be looking for Jonas' house on camera?

I'm about to look up and watch Nikki Bower's video. People are raving about that one, too!

[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JvCBJ8RQltQ]

'''10:30 a.m.'''

Okay.. I watched the video! Very funny! Nikki chose "Drew Avery" as the best name. It was submitted by "Luv2Skydive!"

Hmm? Bree Avery?

Keep in mind that this "naming" is unofficial until Bree comes forward with the "real" information!!

There is a PARODY video now up on You Tube. It's called "Winning Daniel Back." Please do not be confused by this "Epic Movie" label. This is part of the parody. People are talking about this video and laughing about it.

'''GRAND TOTAL POSTS:''' 122

'''GENERAL MILIEU:'''

From reading all posts on all forums, the consensus within ALL is a sense of ANGER and/or FRUSTRATION with Bree's character. People dislike her more and more. I've asked in the two video forums for people's theories regarding WHY the Creators seem to want us to dislike her right now. No response has been given. I wrote a message to [[Daniel]] in that forum, to let him know that [[Bree]] really needs a loving confrontation. Some have expressed "outrage" towards Bree. Others express extreme concern that she is about to put herself in danger, because she is so out of touch with reality.

'''FYI: FACTS AND STATS FROM YESTERDAY'''

The community forum had 970 posts total on [[Hungover]] Very few were actually about the video. A "training exercise" was held for the [[Defense force]], led by Apo. Many cute images of seals were posted. We had many laughs.

'''FORUM/MESSAGE BOARD discussions:'''

*MAIN MESSAGE BOARD: It seems that when people clicked on "more comments," they ended up on the comments page for the last video, rather than the new one. Thankfully, this has been fixed now! Many are still referring to Bree as being a "brat." Dogger pointed out that without Daniel there willing to sacrifice for her while she acts like an ungrateful brat, there would also be no one to push and prod Bree to grow. People are LOVING the new Cassie vid. Leslie brought up the bright comment that their room was ransacked over a "plastic card," in a past OpAphid video. There is much discussion about whether or not Daniel is "over" Bree. The general zeitgeist is that people were disappointed overall with this video.

*For those who like to keep up with a listing of "What We Know So Far," Moderator Trainer101 had such a list. This is "chock full" of wonderful clues, hints, puzzles solved, etc. It is an excellent resource that could save you hours of pondering!!Consider PMing him or responding to that topic if you have more to add. [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=3927]]

*For comedic value, "What We Don't Know" has been started in the Community Forum (AKA P*Monkey's Playhouse.)[[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5138]]

*So far, in the Playhouse [[http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5457&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0]]this morning, people have been "catching up" on how each member is doing personally this morning and the night before. The main comment re: the video has been that it offered us two important things: (a) a laugh (b) obvious foreshadowing that the lost fake ID card will be relevant to the plot later. No one else has seen any other real value in this video. [[Marbella]] holds her past idea as true that Bree intentionally made her last video to throw off the order. If Bree really IS being the brat she seems to be pretending to be, most people care far less about her. [[Marbella]] also believes that the "fake ID" is probably a "real ID," and that Daniel is actually older than he appears and that he has been living under an alias.

*In the '''main video discussion room''', [http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5456&start=0] similar comments are being made. There is the initial laughing about Daniel's appearance, followed by "What's the point?" discussions. Someone described this vid as "underwhelming." Stardust711 provided links to what the terms "Grossman" and "Manning" mean. People have speculated that the numbers on the cards Jonas was holding from "Truth or Dare," 2-4-7, refer to the date of the superbowl. The official transcript for the vid mentions that this is the 2nd to worst hand to have in poker. They also all agree that the "Fake ID" is a very important point. GoodGollyisHolly has brought up that the Order or OpAphid probably has it already.
