We are. Only we fans can see the private transmissions, unless I am mistaken.
Thats right. Also, aren't they supposed to be sort of "diary" type videos? I mean, if its private and aimed at someone(like with the trio got kidnapped), its not, but I think in this case it was aimed at us, but was also sort of a diary. Mostly aimed at us though, because of how he was like "I'm going to be honest with everyone"

This is a little confusing to me. Back when this idea was initially conceived, wouldn't Tachyon and Brother, and anyone else who was part of the resistance have been able to see a private video? Of course, we know Tachy and Bro are out of the picture now. But does that mean there are no other members of the resistance lurking out there that Jonas may be addressing? Are Bree, Daniel, Jonas and we, the audience the sole members?

Exactly right. This particular video was aimed at us - he needed someone to share with, and he couldn't very well share with Daniel and Bree at the moment... He felt that, just now, he could share with us, and so, privately, he did.

Because he did so privately, we can't pass along what he shared in confidence with us to Daniel and Bree, but we can talk about it with Jonas in his in-character area if we want. Or here. Or in other areas of the forums. Just NOT in the Bree Chat or Daniel Chat areas. (please? <smile>)

No one wants to see confusion over this.

Perhaps the concept was just so new to all of us that we didn't take time to fully examine it.

Tachyon and Brother communicated through YouTube and e-mail. They never posted at the forum. We all do. Perhaps there are other members of the resistance who can see these videos.

The effect here is that only the character who posted the video knows about it. Other canon characters do not.

Thanks Cher and Apo for the explanation. Is this explained somewhere besides in the original thread that was posted in the OpAphid days which, I am assuming, is now obsolete?

I really like this video, Just for the fact that it adds onto Jonas a little bit. Makes him have his own goals and not just to follow the others. Good stuff.

Not to my knowledge, sir.

No one wants confusion about this, do they?

Don't know if I said it already or not (don't think so), but I wanted to say that Jackson did a good job here.

Actually, I am a Ma'am lol. And yes, I think if they are going to introduce this format - which I think is actually a very good idea - it would be sensible to explain the updated ground rules, since I doubt the original ones apply.

I agree wholeheartedly. The guy has skills.

I also can't wait to see the writing credits pop up on the LGPedia. I'd love to know who contributed.

Also, I kind of feel sorry for Jackson, as it is possible he is reading the comments here. He may not understand that many of his fans actually have exams and papers due tomorrow!

Hey everyone,

I deeply apologize for the typos in the title and video description. We fixed the misspelling and changed the “status” to public. We will do our best not to make similar mistakes in the future.

The psychology in this video is sound and what he's saying makes perfect since. So I doubt he's going anywhere.

I got the impression that julia is with them

AND

WTF with the guy washing his car?!?!?!?!?! Is the order back? and because of the private status there can be no really Bree or Daniel imput on rather its a watcher or just a weird guy washing his car...

EDIT: nm, bree and daniel can see it now so maybe we can get some imput....started typing before the Greg posted.

Thank you so much for clearing this up. I was sooooo confused.

Thanks again.

Oops! Sorry Luminous, I actually didn't know that!

And I see where Greg has just posted a retraction regarding the private status of the video without clarifying who can see the private ones.

Perhaps chershaytoute and I have it right. I guess we have to wait and see. The moderators would probably have a little less work to do if the situation were clarified as you suggest.

No problem Apo, alot of people tend to make that mistake here. Not exactly sure why, but I'm used to it lol. Believe me, I am very much a she

Yes, I saw that - very nice of them to clear that up so quickly. Not that it was such a big deal, but it's nice to know what they really intended, rather than trying to second guess. Now we can get back to analyzing more important things like why someone would wash their car wearing a black suit

Here's another explanation other than the brilliant one provided by our forumgoers
