 		shadowcolossi1988 here is another tool to add to your arg tools http://www.tinyurl.com

I used it to covert your extremely loooong url in your post above/previous page. Please fill free to copy this to your post and remove the long one.

http://tinyurl.com/2v5zcy

The long url causes the page to be too wide. So, always try to use tinyurl. Thanks

Is something going to happen at the Cincinnati Union Terminal? Or involve trains, maybe? I also noticed that the last time we communicated, you used the word "their" in place of "there." Were you trying to tell me of a group of people?

 		So something big that's already happened at a train station? Like a terrorist attack? Maybe this ties into the Order, and something they've already done. Anyone with background knowledge of Intrepid Biotech, etc should recognize that kind of situation? I have no idea what has already happened with the Order and whatnot. Embarassed

 		This information comes at you courtesy of Son_of_the_Stitch, LonelyFan extraordinaire:

The only major video involving a train in LG15 canon is this: Last Train To...

Also, according to SotS, the Cincinatti Union Terminal used to be a train station, but is now a museum.

 		So I guess that pretty much rules out that theory? I'm not really sure the premise of the episode, but unless there was something really significant about the fact that she was on a train and not on some other means of transportation..?

Well, there was a group of people, and it was a Union Station, albeit in Arizona. I dunno.

I posted a topic over at the LG15 forums. Maybe they can help!

 		Yeah, from what I can see, nothing in the station's actual history has too much to do/can tie into any of the Order or Intrepid Biotech stuff. And Rekidk, hopefully that other forum will help! Smile

 		Has anyone seen the new video uploaded on the lonelygirl15 website? It features Dr. Hart, who says he's "trying to beat death". Since OpDyla's response to my guess on the message of the video was confirmed, it seems highly likely that this new video is relevant to this game no? Just throwing ideas out there...

I was wondering the same thing. could this have anything to do with Season 2 of LG15?

 		I don't know if somebody already mentioned this but about the "I bearded false witness against the king" thing, I was watching the LG15 vids cuz I never did before and figured it would be useful as background knowledge and one of the Cassie videos caught my eye. The Cassie is Lying, Cassie Tells Lies video starts out with "I have bared false witness and supported false allegations", would it be possible that OpDyla is Cassie? Pardon my ignorance if I'm way off the mark because I'm not too familiar with the LG15 lore, I've only just started.

 		I'm pretty convinced that OpDyla is either Cassie or has something to do with her. Sent an email to try and confirm it. Perhaps this is an omen of Cassie's return?

Ah, Cassie... What a story that is.

I'm not sure if I can do it justice, but I'll try.

It all started when Cassie was mentioned in a mysterious LG15 video, Swimming, which incidentally was the last video put out before viewers found out that LG15 was fake (scripted).

The official story of Cassie is not all that interesting. She was simply a friend of Bree's.

However, the spinoff CassieIsWatching is one of the most mysterious ARGs of all time. With unsolved puzzles, mysterious videos, and 2AM calls, this dead ARG still conjures imitators. To this day, the PM of CassieIsWatching remains unknown.

CassieIsWatching dealt with the mention of Cassie in 'Swimming' and took it to a new level. It presented Cassie as a supernatural being, and presented a short story involving her. I didn't follow this closely... However, it is significant in that it is how OpAphid began.

OpAphid actually gamejacked CassieIsWatching as it was dying out. After taking over an IG message box for CIW, OpAphid began calling Cassie a liar in her videos. (Yes, OpAphid, the leader of OpAPHID, is a she.)

Although Bree's (the official) explanation of Cassie is that she was simply an average girl who liked prank calls and feared Bree's religion, fans of LG15 continue to speculate about Cassie's true whereabouts. Cassie was never shown in an LG15 video, only talked about.

It's important to remember that LG15 is official LG15-canon. Also, OpAphid became LG15-canon in November, making all of itself canon. It lost canon with LG15 in March. Any post-March OpAphid videos, therefore, are not LG15 canon.

While LG15 has recently lost popularity, OpAphid has returned as a part of a new ARG, RedEarth88. RedEarth88 takes place in the Breeniverse (the LG15 universe), but is not LG15 canon. (It's fanfic, but it involves no LG15 characters.)

Cassie, though? Still a mystery. Despite OpAphid's longevity, we still don't know exactly why OpAphid chose to reference CiW. The meta reasons are obvious: to utilize CiW to gain a fanbase. But the IG reasons for OpAphid's references to Cassie are still a mystery. Was Cassie captured by OpAphid? Did OpAphid just use Cassie as a reference because she was a former friend of Bree? Or something else?

The mythology of LG15 is very confusing, mainly because you have to follow both LG15 and OpAphid, and their on-again-off-again relationship. Throw in KateModern and RedEarth88 into the mix (the former official, the latter not), and you have a mindblowingly large (and confusing) universe.

 		So turns out OpDyla is not Cassie. Oh well. But more clues!

The Response: I'm Not. My Name begins with an S

Excitement! Let's browse for names and connections.

I figured with all this talk about fear I would toss in one of my favorite quotes...didnt seem to get me anywhere. Also, on OpDyla's Piczo site, she/he goes by the name S...maybe that site will lead us in the right direction.

the e-mail contains backwards talk for...
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
It's an advantage for me to use against him.
