Moderator: Moderators
What? The LG15 ARG began when the creators admitted it was fake. Hell, it started when they started the videos. They admitted they wanted a more fluid and interactive medium, and they've included elements of interactivity already: Having Bree and Daniel in a relationship, naming the bear Thor, etc. It's an interactive storyline. That's why it's so fun and why the message boards are so fun!twjaniak wrote:The official lonelygirl15 ARG has not yet begun, so, yeah.
I respect your opinions a lot, Mr. Janiak, but, really, how do you say things like this with such certitude? Though I can't remember the specifics, I definitely recall someone pointing out somewhere that disavowing a certain aspect of an ARG (e.g. "cassieiswatching is not official") is perfectly fair game for an ARG.twjaniak wrote:The official lonelygirl15 ARG has not yet begun, so, yeah.
So then we are also to believe that the truth finally comes out and the CiW is in FACT NOT canon?twjaniak wrote:The official lonelygirl15 ARG has not yet begun, so, yeah.dVant wrote:You're all kidding, right? What you are saying is the Creators want an interactive game, but no one should leave their house.
We have all been told since the release of "When I Get to the Bottom Where I Stop", that CiW is not canon. As moderators, we were told that ARG elements of the LG15 experience have not yet begun.bosquelito wrote:So then we are also to believe that the truth finally comes out and the CiW is in FACT NOT canon?twjaniak wrote:The official lonelygirl15 ARG has not yet begun, so, yeah.dVant wrote:You're all kidding, right?

Is that the truth? How long have the moderators been apprised of this?

Brilliant. Thanks for clearing this up, then.Nora Volkova wrote:Please believe us when we say that the Admins had private words with the Moderators regarding this topic. We have no reason to lie about this.
Bos - I agree and based on the poll I posted about a week ago, the majority of yhe members of this forum agree with you as well. Of those that posted, 50% agree with you. The next runner up choice in this poll was "still not sure" with 23% of the vote.bosquelito wrote:Nah, I'm not gonna believe that. No offense to Nora and twjaniak, but it all seems to convenient.
CiW may have been an offshoot, but I think it was legitimate canon until the the bad press and forum response to the dark side of things.
They're just taking steps back and clearing it up and out. Disassociation and denial are the status quo for the Creators as it is, so this is not out of character for them.
As for the moderator involvement, I think perhaps it's time we get a clear delineation on that. The big hurdle is this: if twjaniak wants to take the game in his own direction because that's what the creators intended, then fine. But he, nor anyone else, should be getting any preferential treatment on what information is disclosed. Additionally, the mods should not be shutting down the ideas of others with an attitude of "higher awareness" of events as that destroys the free and fair direction shifting of the game. There is a difference between playing the game and controlling the game, and the moderators are in a tight spot because of that.
We don't have daily meetings wherein The-Powers-That-Be be slip us little pieces of secret information then tell us not to talk about it. However, because the Admins own and possess rightful control of this site, they do give us suggestions as to handle certain issues. Information regarding the location of the house featured in "Who is This" is to be suppressed. It is a private residence, unaffiliated with any of the LG15 project. The people who live there should be left alone.bosquelito wrote:As for the moderator involvement, I think perhaps it's time we get a clear delineation on that.

What game is that exactly? CiW hasn't released a clue featuring the house, and LG15 proper isn't an ARG yet.Additionally, the mods should not be shutting down the ideas of others with an attitude of "higher awareness" of events as that destroys the free and fair direction shifting of the game.

As far as the continued Fanfic calls by the mods and the creators I want to point out other comments throgh history that are just as believable:bosquelito wrote:Nah, I'm not gonna believe that. No offense to Nora and twjaniak, but it all seems to convenient.
