Just another plot lull?

newworldview · Post by **newworldview** » Thu Apr 26, 2007 8:26 pm

So we've had three episodes about hypnosis, four about Daniel's drinking, and three about the "new girl" (some of those might overlap, I don't want to go watch them all again). Is this just another lull?

The hypnosis seems like it should be important to us, but they aren't giving us much to go on. Bree keeps asking for help with the new girl, but she isn't responding to information we've given about the girls who aren't Jules or all of the new LG15 forum girls. The forum has been more dead than I've ever seen it before, and not much is really going on in the in-character discussion section. Usually down time is filled up with character development, but there has been little of that beyond Daniel opening up about drinking for about 20 seconds (and Jonas explaining that he's trying to be chipper). Obviously, they're stuck in a buker gathering their senses, but usually we get more information at those points in the plot.

So, what is going on? What should we be doing? (none of this is meant as a criticism, I'm genuinely trying to figure out what is going on - in other words, please don't bite my head off)

plot? what plot?

umm on a more serious note I have seen the forum this dead before. It is sad. but it has happened a lot since the end of Op. It's what happens when there is not real interaction.

As for the "plot" well yea it seems like a lull to me, though most the time that's what it seems like.

You sound bitter. I was barely aware of Op when I first started reading the forum. The information I read about didn't really have a lot to do with the locals' little game of OpAphid.

I think if you read the previous post again you'll find that the videos she enumerated cover the entire time from before OpAphid closed down and now.

they do. Hypnosis talk really started when OpAphid first captured DB. That's when we really started talking about it. I am slightly bitter and I can admit to that. After investing so much time in a story that is going no where it is disheartening. Ops story went somewhere and had a lot of interaction. It was great to watch and follow even though I didn't really participate in it. And in fact didn't really come around until Op had it's big lull too.

Many of us are tired of waiting for answers that don't seem to be coming. I happen to be one of them. Which is why all the fan fiction is great, and the only reason some of us still happen to be here.

There is a lull in LG right now, but a lot of times there is. They give us one or two great vids every now and again and the rest is kind of just a long lull.

As for the plot it's taking very very small wobbly baby steps, at best. After this long, we should have more answers then we do.

I'm only being realistic. Though you do have every right to feel differently.

My point about Op being dead was not that, it is that to blame for the plot lull in LG but rather, the forums have been pretty quiet since then. There isn't the activity on the forums there was when Op was still around, though it does pick up at times, and I think that time is going to return soon.

I think it may be quite possible that Lg is overish, like the main order part... and Maddi is now on the run from warpy, previously used for LG, I mean if Glenn was just let off LG, they never gave any real reason, maybe thats because he was really still in cohorts with them on where the next step would go... and he would be needed solely for that....

i am quite the conspiracy theorist eh?

well there was a reason, there was just no verification given to us on what exactly happened. Glenn can tell a story though, and makes great vids. We'll see what is up with all this action and where goes... all in due time. For now we should all just enjoy the excitement of it all. At least there is something good going on. The fan fic stuff around here is amazing.

Yeah, I do like the fan fic (especially VoyBoy! Wow can she vid!) but I can't help but think we're missing something.

This has been a huge lull. Much more than any we've had previously. And I can't blame people for getting discouraged. It's a bit depressing. But then I take a look at what history we're making in the real world (you know, with Bush and the Iraq war and AIDS and SARS (shudders)). That didn't come out right. We. LonelyGirl15 and Forum. We are making history. For the first time ever the world is seeing a world wide cooperation among people to create. For the first time in history thousands of people from hundreds of cultures are communicating effortlessly, using their collective intelligence to learn. to understand. to create.

Technology has reached such a level that for the first time entertainment has become learning. Wow. Don't you feel it? The endless possibilities?

I only saw one video by VoyBoy so far, but I thought it was a guy!

I have a thread concerning this matter in "Concerns and Complaints". It's entitled "Why are DBJ not using their resources?" Please put your two cents in there. The Creators actually read that thread.
