I was honestly lmao when Jack got punched, almost as much as when Sarah got punched. Me thinks I like Alice very much ;D Her and Ana are kindred spirits....
Anyway, I actually didn't want Ana and Sarah to meet until she comes back from the hike. They'll likely end up having a big shouting match too, so I didn't want to delay the hike setting off. But if you want Sayid and Kate etc to come and see what's going on, I can move Ana away, maybe she'll get distracted by Sawyer and Ethan if they're deciding to get punchy too.

About the whole net thing, who wants to be the one to eventually come along and free them? Any volunteers. If no one wants to, I'll send one of my characters to do it.

It would be pretty funny if Cyrus found them. "Well, well, well...what do we got here? Girls fallin' from the sky--must be my lucky day." In any case, I'll refrain from mentioning it to Locke. He's got better things to do, I'm sure.

Heidi suggested Cyrus and Ethan are having a talk in the jungle about things that are going on, and then Cy can find 'em. And I'll be sure to use that line.

I have created a lawyer character in Walter's flashbacks. If you ever need a lawyer in a flashback, just ask me, and I'll make sure it fits, but I think it'd be cool if a couple characters had this "connection".

Okay, I'm reposting most of what I posted in the Timeline thread for reference.
We need to clear up any suspicions the survivors may have of other people living there. Otherwise, the whole thing with Ethan wouldn't be a surprise and since they're expecting it, Locke would probably figure it out. Remember that Locke felt bad about not figuring that something was up with Ethan since he was hunting with him. If they know there are other people, they'll be cautious.
So let's discuss how we can brush this net thing off as nothing special in the Potential Plots thread. I'll post some ideas I have to clear it up.
People, please be careful of having your characters find out too much too fast. Also please try to avoid having your character know everything about everyone and be able to practically read their minds or always know when someone is lying, etc., because you get to read their thoughts. Be realistic. ;D Just respond by the person's dialog and body language as you're not supposed to know what's going on in the other character's head.
Alrighty, so some ideas I have to clear up this net thing:
- They figure it's been there from the distress call signal. Only problem is that it would make the net and trap a little over 16 years old, so it probably wouldn't be that sturdy... actually, Gwen pointed out to me this wouldn't work because nobody but the hiking party (and Jack) knows about the distress call since they thought sharing that info would make people lose hope. Plus the group is still on the hike anyway, so nobody knows other people have been there.
- One of the survivors (Locke maybe?) has been setting up traps to catch the boar they've heard/seen around and assume it was one of theirs
- One of the Others (Ethan or Cyrus) lie and say they set it up to avoid any suspicions

I'll just say that Gwen is comfortable with keeping (yet another) secret if she feels it's for the greater good. She doesn't necessarily have to discuss it with anyone else after hearing about it from Sarah.

And I go with it ... To mention that some people don't write about their body language makes it kinda hard I am talking about me too there ... sometimes. Yes, the net was an idea some of us had come up with, and as I had said before, it's because we never thought anybody would be crazy enough to return to the cockpit. I was, unfortunately, too late in catching the problem, so it was either a net or the monster and I thought it was too soon to see the monster again. True, most of us don't write about body language that often, myself included, but please try to avoid voicing other people's thoughts when you can't hear them. Back toward the beginning, you had your character 'know' that someone lied to you when the person was good at lying and had worked out a story beforehand. I notice your character also answering people's thoughts, like most recently with Gwen, or hearing things that you're out of earshot of. Just try to remember that you're not Professor Xavier and therefore can't hear people's thoughts. ;D Only respond to what they say out loud. Well then Locke would have been pretty busy and I thought no one was inside the jungle that far. Nope, we stopped you guys before you got too far in. Some of the survivors, though not many, may have ventured in a bit further than the rest dare to, Locke would definitely be the type to do that. Locke has been pretty quiet and you never know what that man is up to. I can totally picture him going out there to set up traps, etc., being the hunter. My intention is and was to keep that net thing between me, Gwen, Jinx and Jack. I could still avoid telling Jack so that no one of the characters from the show would know. Plus ... most important fo all, I was talking to Oppy about that ... right after the dragnet incident. About that it might cause the question about who put it up there.

Gwen will be surprised if her sweetheart goes all Freddy Krueger Nah, see, we don't need to keep the net thing a secret, because then it would be like it was a big deal. My opinion is that we need to treat it like it was no big deal and just not mention it, not because we're afraid it might scare people, but because we think that it wasn't a big deal. I don't agree that people should think the island is inhabited. It just doesn't make sense to think that and nobody in the show thought it either. It was a complete shock that, not only was Danielle still around, but there were a whole mess of other people there. The survivors would start asking too many questions right off about why they were there, why rescue hasn't come for them, why they aren't trying to find this plane they saw crashing and possible survivors, etc. The list goes on and on. Other players, what is your opinion on this? Please speak up as majority will rule.

I don't agree that people should find out the island is inhabited. The most they're worried about right now is the 'monster'. They haven't a clue about 'others' or have any reason to suspect. Also, Locke has been gone for almost the entire day. He woke up earlier then most, and later he reappeared to Gwen, and disappeared again. He could easily have set up that trap, perhaps while he was going deeper into the jungle to find boar. I could elaborate...he found one of Danielle's traps, repaired it, didn't tell anyone because he never does?

Ok Heidi, I hear ya ... let me think about it for a second. I know you wanted the oppinion of other players but here is mine - Let's consider for a second Sarah would think about the possibility that Locke would have built the trap ... then she would go ask him, maybe trick him into saying it was not him ... then we are at point zero again. Sorry for Sarah beeing such a pain in the ass ... the actual reason why Damon didn 't want her in his final version of the LOST script - Later on people discover that Rousseau was building traps, then the mystery would have been solved anyway ... not knowing if that was before Ethan went crazy or not. How about keeping it secret till then?! - Or what about Gwen playing it down in her pleasant and nice way saying that they should calm down for a sec here and wait about what to come ... pretty much what Sarah said but apparently mentioned by Gwen it has a whole other meaning to people I mean I do understand what you suppose Heidi, but how should that not takeing it to serious look like. Do you want Sarah to forget her natural curiousity and pretend it doesn't bug her? Just a question though ... And what about you Cyrus? Do you suggest that Locke really built the trap or we just pretend he did?

No one knows that Locke is a hunter, with his suitcase chock full o' knives, until his big "We hunt" speech. Which we haven't heard yet. Nor do many people know about the boar, because we burned the fuselage before they had a chance to nose around in it. Plus, Locke doesn't seem the sort of man you can trick into telling you something; he's perfectly happy being on the island and wants everyone else to be at peace with it, so why say anything that would arouse panic or suspicion that this place isn't the utopia he thinks it is? Anyway, as Gwen just told Sarah, the net knowledge won't go any further than her. Which at this point includes Jinx, Sarah, Walter, Gwen and probably Jack. Since all the survivors are so focused on waiting for the rescue boats right now, it'd be easy to think "Yeah, that was kinda' weird" and dismiss it, being more worried about where their next meal or bottle of water is coming from. Do ya' see what happens when you people trust me to be in charge?
