Bree is brainwashed into joining the Hymn of One, and might be trying to give us clues to her location. Click
here
to watch her latest video. If you zoom in on her eyes, you can see the reflection of a building-entrance...
Jonas and Daniel want to rescue her, and found Bree's box (click
here
to see the video of them finding it, and
here
to watch the video of what's inside.
Bree's father injected her with something to lower her levels of 'rybozymes'.

I was 50% compatible too...
However, i found the following post on the LG15-site:

***** PUZZLE SPOILER about joining the hymn of One ****
Well, first, you start with 7.5% compatibility even if you don’t answer any of them. The text answers appear to be irrelevant. I said I was male, age 31-40 which made no difference.
In order, the answers that work are: (1 being strongly disagree, 5 being strongly agree)
1. I am prepared to answer this questionnaire 5
2. I am calm and rational 3
3. I am one of the smartest people I know 3
4. I get angry when I probably shouldn’t 3
5. I fall in love easily 5
6. People don’t listen to me when they should 3
7. My favorite flavor of ice cream is vanilla 3
8. I am afraid of my dreams 3
9. I put myself first 3
10. I enjoy walking on the beach 5
11. I think aging is a treatable disease 5
12. I am afraid of the dark 3
13. I prefer my own company to the company of others 5
14. I don’t enjoy eating 3
15. I am my own body 3
16. Circles make me nervous 1
17. Global Conflict is escalating 5
18. I am a powerful person 1
19. I believe people lie to me every day 3
20. I am being watched right now
Note that some of the answers will surprise you. When I did it, all that happened is I got the “99%” badge to show up, so far I have no email.
I wonder if it is possible to get a full 100%...

There's been a really high level of cynacism towards to motives of the people making this. It seems people aren't so positive to the 'blair witch effect' these days.
I think the cynacism is in large part due to the distrust of radically different forms of entertainment. It happens, they will eventually ease into new ideas, but for now they feel betrayed because no one spelled out what exactly was real or not. Personally I thought lg15 was real, you can go back about 7 or 8 pages and see, but I didn't feel bad when it was revealed to be fake. I don't know what all the lg15 fan boys/girls were crying about.

I'm still watching the videos, but there's not much for me to talk about anymore. My current reaction is "Meh".
The producers had huge potential with this. They could have taken it in any direction and kept it obviously fake but extremely enjoyable.
Instead we get an anti-climatic reveal, followed by... nothing! Pretending nothing happened, confusing everyone, and going back into their corner. And then they redesign lonelygirl15.com, and move to revver, while weird things happen on the forums. The last nail in the coffin for me was Bree dancing on Leno... eh, double-u tee ef?
Agree with colin. The story isn't that appealing and they haven't built in the required interactivity to follow the demands of the audience. Woo Daniel kissed Bree! Where's my evil dark virgin sacrificing cult!
This might have been pure genius, but it's very obvious now that it was just beginner's luck. Someone should go over there and buy them a new Curtain. Idiots.

Woah. multiple videos released in the last week or so, and not one comment.
Everyone's given up on this, right?

I guess maybe I was reading it wrong, but then again, just because you have ARG elements doesn't mean it's an ARG, so it's hard to say just how bad things can get.

Only if you're the one really running the game. If it's someone else, then they new suck and are borderline trollish. Of course, that makes people trying to mess with the game that's messing with the original storyline really pathethic. But that's just my take on the whole thing. I like the Bree stuff. Cassie can go jump in the lake.
Maybe I'm misunderstanding, but you're talking about the GameJackers (cassieiswatching) and the people subsequently trying to rip that off (MySpace Cassie, etc.), right?

Well, after yesterday's cassieiswatching madness, I gotta say: Good call on keeping the threads separate, rowan. Your hunch proved right...
Anyway, one thing that came of it is a new statement by The Creators concerning the future of LonelyGirl15 (and their involvement with cassieiswatching):
http://www.lonelygirl15.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=718 wrote:
We have plans to incorporate more ARG elements into LG15 so we are excited to see such a vigorous investigative response to cassieiswatching despite the fact that the subject matter is darker than we would like.
We'll see where this goes...right now, I think they'd better get their act together before the opportunity they created slips through their fingers.

Just saw it on Yahoo News for 9-16, thought I'd pass it along.
Edit: And this caught my eye:
Quote:
Amateur sleuths unearthed clues
, and stories about the show appeared in the New York Times, Los Angeles Times and other publications, finally forcing the three creators of the Lonelygirl videos to fess up.
You know they're referring to all you guys, right? ;D Way ta go...ya made Yahoo news!
Flattering, but I think they might be talking about
these sleuths
