[FAKE/UPDATE/META]Probable GameJacker... Possible Connection

Has anyone seen this crazy dude?
http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=LordGreystoke422

I'd disregard it if he didn't mention something called OpAphid. It's the title of one of his videos.
Aphid was mentioned in one of the LG15 or CiW videos as a tag. I'm not sure which one yet. Of course, this could be a GameJacker.

A game jacker could see that and make the connection. But a PM wouldn't overlook a connection either.

Lemme know what you think

Why do you think this might be in-game? Considering all the other gamejacking that's gone on?

this guy has been around the community for a while and has said he wanted to do an 'in character' monologue.

Yeah, I also noticed in another woman's attempt to gamejack, he booed her for poor gamejacking. So, my guess is he's attempting a gamejack. As for OpAphid, she/he/they seem to be a bit different. They've already responded to one of my comments (freaked me out) but I definitely want to look more into this. CiW got me into ARGs in the first place!

So he's gamejacking a gamejacker of a gamejacker?

I think I'm going to gamejack him. Does anyone knows the guiness record for longest trail of gamejacks?

A "gamejack" is an attempt by a person or persons who are not the PuppetMasters -- the original creators of an ARG -- to seize control of the game in some manner by pretending to be characters in the game, pretending to be the puppetmasters, or otherwise creating content that asserts directly or by implication that it is "in-game," when in fact the source is a player or players, rather than the "official" creators.

In this particular case, Cassieiswatching may or may not be a gamejack of Lonelygirl15. If that's the case, an attempt to gamejack Cassie would be a gamejack of a gamejack. Wink

Oh I know what a gamejack is, I was just teasing because of all the references to gamejacking a gamejacker who's gamejacking another gamejacker and so on...

I've been following greystoke since the beginning of his videos.
I don't mind if he's jacking because I enjoy his story a lot, but I have advised him to get a capture of the people who are chasing him, that is if he wants anyone to believe him.

I'm in constant communication with him, but I don't think he wants many people getting information from him, due to the fact that he's running around alot.

the numbers on his youtube profile that keep going up are the total number of the people following him he has killed. He likes to show his gun in the video... he told me that number is not the injured, but the killed.

to help he wants people to find out who is chasing him and who the leader is.
he thinks these people might be controlled by an outside source, because they don't use guns.

here's his blog: http://lordgreystoke422.blogspot.com/

don't disregard it just yet. if you consider OpAphid to be ingame... she has directly connected to greystoke telling him that she is helping those who are after him. watch out for OpAphid.

good luck greystoke

I'm trying to find out more about OpAphid. I messaged CiW asking if we should believe her and I never got a response. I'm sure she gets tons of messages though plus I need to check her YT profile to see if she posted anything new.

I was about to do some harsh comments to his video, because I don't really like how far he's streching things. I don't mind people gamejacking on this situation, since the whole LG15 has turned into an infinite structure of gamejacks, but this guy is just ludicrous.

He's supposed to be going around in suburbian neiborhoods shooting tons of people who are being mind controlled by Cassie?!?

But then I noticed pony's comment, so I guess there are some people having fun following his game, and I really like OpAphid's videos, so if ther's a chance he's related to those I think I can keep my mouth shut and giggle while I watch him.
