Isn't it strange how many people survived a lane crash in which the plane split in two pieces? I mean that's just so un... okay I'll shut up now.

I'm alive! I don't really know much about what or who we are up against either, so if anyone more experienced with surviving plane crashes on remote deserted islands, please help with a few pointers!

I will never fly Oceanic Airlines again. I still can't believe that I survived a plane crash.

Heh - sorry about that.
Suppose it would be sporting to give people a chance to show up before starting the voting, but since this isn't an extended (weekend) Day 1 it probably wouldn't hurt to try and generate some chatter. For the people who are vets of the show, can you help me out a little with some details? What are the threats to the survivors? If we are assuming a typical villager/wolf game I'm guessing the count is something like 16-5 or 17-4. But I don't know if that is a good assumption. Who came up with this idea of hidden rules/roles anyways? |

4 8 15 16 23 42 One of the characters, Hurley, learned about these numbers while he was in a physc. ward. He later won the lottery with those numbers and ever since he has had INCREDIBLE bad luck. The numbers also act as a code to prevent a supposed catastrophic event from happening in the bunker that John Locke found. That is just a couple of examples of the numbers. I'm not sure what the signifigance it will play in this game.

blade, i actually checked into the bold numbers since i am one...apparently one of the characters on teh show is a millionaire that won his money playing the lottery...the bolded numbers are the numbers he had in the lottery...otherwise they are insignificant. |

from what we know from the show (Those of you who know can feel free to add too) "The Others" - They seem to have been on the island for a long time. They are able to hide thier tracks in the jungle and are very good at hiding in the jungle. Think Viet Cong like. Not much else is know of them. It is believed one of them did inflitrate the front end crash survivors, Ethan. And one of them did infiltrate the back end "tailes" but was killed by Anna Lucia. Survivors - Jack (Doctor), Charlie (Rock Star/Junkie), Hurley (big guy who won the lottery with the #'s 4-8-15-16-23-42 hence the numbers in the rules and bolded players) Lock (was paralized from the waist down until the crash and now he can walk, some think he has some higher power) Michael (just got custody of his son WALT! , the others took his son so he keeps yelling his son's name in the show) Jin (Korean hitman) Sawyer (conman) Sun (Jin's wife, speaks both english & Korean, her english was unknown to her husband until recently) Said (former Iraqi Military man, could be our bodyguard in this game) Walt (Michaels young son, believed to have some sort of power) Mr Ecko (big Nigerian dude who used to be a drug dealer/mob boss in his home country, now is a born again christian. could also be our bodyguard) Kate (in an odd off and on love triagle with Jack & Sawyer, fugitive from the law) Claire (just gave birth) Anna Lucia (ex cop, used excessive force in a domestic dispute, could also be our bodyguard) I did leave out a few female characters and Boone who was killed in the show I suggest you go to the official site to read up on them if you want more info, but I personally don't think they are important. If someone else does please add to the info I put out there I'm sure I forgot some. |

they really haven't gotten into the others much so depending on what theories AE follows/believes could be. I'll try as much as I can to give info, but I think that also makes me target numbro uno for the others too. |

Ok, I know nothing about "Lost". I know that people who watch the show talk about a guy looking for "Walt!". And that's about it.
So thanks to SnDvls for giving some background info on the show. Any other info would be greatly appreciated.

Possible ingame I guess. But in the show, it appears that Walt hasn't been converted, just kidnapped. But it's unclear in the show at this point. |

They bring everyone bad luck. Hurley believes them to be cursed. The man who told him the numbers in the Psych ward had a friend who heard the numbers and ended up dying in an odd way(Not sure how, I'd have to break out the DVD's). The French Lady Danelle and her group heard the numbers being transmitted and ended up wrecking on the island which ended up all costing all but Danelle their lives. |

If I remember correctly, Walt had the ability to see into the future. I watched season 1 on DVD, but haven't seen any of season 2. Not having seen 2, the impression I got from 1 is that all of the "magic" bad luck is actually based on highly advanced technology. Like there's this guardian thing on the island that flies around killing people, but is actually a security system. |

Well, since the deadline is tomorrow does anyone have any ideas or are you all just going random? I might just have to break out my heavy attack again if thats the case

I'm not sure what powers Walt has. I know that when trying to get the attention of his step father and mother to look at a picture of a bird he causes a real version of that bird to crash into the window. All we know is that Walt is "special" and that is why his step father calls Michael to come get him. Walt's talents creep out the Step father. This season he kept appearing to people sort of like a ghost(Shannon at first and then Shannon and Sayid right before Shannons death). He also appeared to be talking to his father over the computer in the hatch, but if it really was him we don't know yet. |

from the descriptions of the show that sun and bearcat gave (thanks a ton btw) i would have to guess that we have a doctor of some kind, at least one bodyguard, an assassin (the korean hitman role) and probably a turncoat (hurley and his cursed numbers?). i would also guess we are facing at least a 3+1 "others" if not 4+1 based on the number of players.

I'm leaning towards this train of thought as well. Also, thanks to all that gave summaries of the show since I never watch it I was totally in the dark before reading them.

I don't agree with this train of thought. If ardent just gave roles to the people he bolded at random, this would be the worst game of werewolf ever. And I, for one, know that this is not the worst version ever. Last edited by mckerney : 02-10-2006 at 01:26 AM. |

Could also be that the Hurley role in the game (if there is one) is just plain bad luck, and not neccesarily a turn coat or a bad guy. Of course thats going more on knowledge of the show than the game. |

Im just saying that by the sound of things, everything related to the numbers ON THE ISLAND(not the lottery) has been bad...if this game is related to the show, that could be a sign...not saying it is, just putting things out there for thought. I think its prob. random, but for day one i dont currently see a better idea...do you?
