[FAKE] EBay Cassie

Hey all. I've been interested in the whole lonelygirl15 saga since I accidentaly ran in to one of the the first few videos and got hopelessly hooked. Since then, a whole hell of a lot has happened with the series, but although I was very skeptical, the whole ARG thing seems very interesting. I thought that since I didn't see anyone mention this, it would be worth posting.

I'm sure everyone here knows how to use ebay, but if not, you can click on the "Community" button at the top of the page, and enter user IDs. If you try entering "cassieiswatching," you'll get a newly created user account with one auction up:

Ebay auction listing

Extremely interesting, to say the least.

Here's what I know about it (which isn't much, but if you're pressed on time....)

The auction is titled "lonelygirl15 needs these. tarot has answers for bree."

The seller, cassieiswatching, appears to be from Nottingham, Nottinghamshire, United Kingdom. Recall that in the lonelygirl15 video "Mysteries of My Past... REVEALED!", Bree says that she lived for two years time (age 12 - 14 for Bree) in Nottingham, UK. She doesn't mention a whole lot about living there, except that she hated it and only made one friend: a dog. She also talks a lot about Robin Hood and
his merry men, and mentions something about Friar Tuck "jumping out at her" on the tour at the Robin Hood museum.

The auction mentions the numbers 10-12-04 prominently, which are also mentioned on Cassie's Myspace site.

The picture shows four cards: one of which is the same card shown in the thread earlier as well as the picture from the myspace site, three other cards shown face down, as well as what looks like at least three but possibly four litte "voodoo doll" type figurine looking things. Wierd.

The seller's been a member since the 15th.

The cards are different from the tarot set found in the bag, I'm assuming, because the back to them is much different.

If auction thing goes down or whatever, heres some screencaps I took of it: http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/5199/tarotebahyprt2vv9.jpg http://img85.imageshack.us/img85/9228/tarotebahyje3.jpg

Hope this helps someone,

nesty

I hate to say it but the card I have has a completely different graphic on the backside.

I think this is someone trying to cash in.

It also lends me some hope that the card I found is authentic, lonelygirl material. You'd think some opportunist would use the same kind of deck in odrder to promote his interest.

I am finding something very interesting. There seem to be a lot of people, who have very few in their post count (usually one or two), seem very obsessed with "Ebay Cassie" and "MySpace Cassie". Every few pages in the big threads, someone will either point out the ebaypage ("OMG look at this (link) someone is selling cards omg!") with handy dandy links, or ask the link for the myspace, or starting talking about the myspace......

I would be very interested to find out what would happen if the mods over there started comparing IP addies.

How was the Ebay link discovered in the first place? It was discovered, it appears, only moments after the sale was started. Hm. So very interesting.

My opinon? We have someone(s) at work here who are very dedicated to gamejacking this. The MySpace, the Ebay, the incredible stroke of luck MySpace Cassie had on predicting that a card would be found...Hmm.

Someone got there first, and switched the bags. MySpace and Ebay are a part of it. Someone trying to make a buck, get attention, whatever. Likely that band with the Garden song are involved, as most they are getting referenced all the bloody time as well.

If you were a pm in a game where this was happening, what the heck would you do?


I for one, don't think I'll be playing anymore unless we get some sort of confirmation that something is in game, let alone part of a game at all.

New picture from the "ebay cassie"

Possible hint?

That is, if you believe she's true, which the jury is still out on:

Linked to by the ebay cassie in an undate on her auction.

another long ebay URL

Edit: fixed another URL that was screwing up the post width - Gupfee

So... we do know that Ebay is really from England. Or at least very very close to it. Or knows someone who's from England. Or in cahoots with someone who's in England... That's strange, either way.

I tend to think that MSCassie, and EbayCassie are both frauds. Certainly they could have involved themselves up to the point of jacking the clue (the bag) and switching it, but I'm certain you cna all agree they're not a part of the original plan.

I do think it's possible myspace cassie took the bag and switched it however.

And hi!

Are those worry dolls in the ebay picture?

Maybe someone has mentioned them already and I just missed it, but I thought it might be worth pointing out.

Yes, I believe it has been confirmed that they are worry dolls through the "ask the seller" function on ebay.

Can we NOT post links to the game jackers, please? Or even discuss them? That's what's throwing everyone off in the other forum. (Please don't take this as me being mean to newbies, just trying to keep what's happening at the other forums from happening here. It's very frustrating over there)

Also, has anyone seen the crazy spec they are throwing around about our Cu Roi? And again with the possible sockpuppets trying to connect him to MSCassie when it also seems that MSCassie is trying to implicate him. Hmmm...

Ehhh, I don't think he's agame jacking. It's really annoying however, when you keep saying blah blah is real, and you know they aren't.

Nillia,

When we use real/fake, here, we mean 'part of the game' or 'not part of game'. It's all fake, but under the whole "This is not a game!" concept, we tend to refer to things as IF they were real.


I don't I'm explaining this correctly, heh.

Maybe we should say IG (in game) or OOG (out of game)

Dear adovcates of the MySpace Cassie,

Please see the YT Cassie's profile page:

http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=cassieiswatching

i am the only cassie

myspace lies

i don't play cards


If you want to discuss the clearly unconnected MySpace and eBay Cassies, there is a separate forum for that. Click here for the appropriate place:

Jammer,
this forum is all about Cassieiswatching. that is the character cassie and how she relates to the lonely girl story. as of this time, myspace cassie has still been giving out clues and is one step ahead of youtube cassie. she gives evidence she is the real thing even though youtube denies her. don't count her out yet. its hard to KNOW anything in an ARG... that's the whole point.

PM me if you want a debate. haha

This is a false statement and is not useful or productive.

MScassie has never been one step "ahead." MScassie has always been one step BEHIND. MScassie just reposts information after YouTube Cassie posts it, and adds lots of irrelevant "clues" to the mix.

MCcassie is unconnected and a waste of time.

Again, there is a place to discuss the separate MScassie if you want to. Why don't you just go there?
