You are very right, Gwen, and I'm not caught up yet, but I'm going to pipe up right now and say that 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.

Just wanna add one thing in general and I hope that no one takes this the wrong way please We are a lot of people ... characters from the show and a lot of new characters. It's easy to keep the show characters on plot because they have a plot to stick too ... the others don't. They have to make up their story. My point: The show is a script written by a handful of people working together to accomplish one goal ... a good show that works in every detail. And they can do that because they make up everything and can control what the one person says to the other ... because they "are" every character. They can make Jack to go from point A to point B to be mad at Kate while she jumps through a burning circle whenever they like. You can't do that in a RPG. In the show maybe no one was going to the cockpit again after the Jack, Kate, Charly hike, maybe we just didn't see it. Actually no one did again because the film crew had to get the forward plane part out of the jungle again after a few days of shooting and it would have been to expensive to put it back for a new scene ... and pointless. For the RPG I think the front part is a really huge source of material, food, water and other supplies ... to precious to be left abandoned because some people are scared about a cloud of dust. I surely cannot say that I wouldn't but although I am a girl I am not scared easily. After all I am scared of very little and those things I am scared of are not monsters or any physical harm. Sarah is me in a way ... now I have admitted it Hell if I would have been on that island in that situation I would have gone for it! I would have tried to reach the cockpit to get the only thing back that counted at the moment or die trying. I am sure that later on in the RPG ... there will again be people acting totally different than those on the show. Those on the show who were all kinda controlled. People who will be acting totally surprising and may discover things that weren't discovered on the show. Don't get me wrong ... I do believe in sticking close to the plot. As we play LOST and not some simple "stranded on an island like Robinson" - RPG. The plot is important! But there should be room for back stories especially as more than half of our characters have no plot! I do hope that I was able to express my thoughts as I am not capable of telepathy. *g* And I hope that no one feels himself offended ... especially not the nice and hard working staff of this board. Thanks for your patience.

...I don't think i really understand what you're saying. Are you saying you want the cockpit to be more involved or that you want us to get involved? :S Sorry, its probably just me that doesn't understand.

Well, I was saying we need to not get the cockpit involved and I think that's the route we're going since most people seem to agree it's a high danger area.
If we have to vote on it, then so be it, but for now, we're supposed to be scared shitless to go that deep into the jungle and right to the place where the party was almost killed.

Okay peeps, let's get things rolling! We need to finish up the hike. We need Jack to finish talking to the marshal. As soon as those are done, then we can skip ahead to evening. So please, let's all try not to get Jack involved with too many other things, poor guy. Does anybody else have anything major that needs to be done before changing to evening? Please try to finish it before the hike and the Jack/Edward Mars convo! I am in the middle of creating Othersville, which I will have posted as soon as I have a good majority of it done. Not sure what we'll be doing for the timeline on them. It might be a separate thing, in the speed lane until they catch up to the current day with us.

Hey, sounds all good to me. Jake and Gwen are going into the jungle outskirts to forage for fruit and the like, but I don't see a big problem there with afternoon changing to evening if they can get it done quickly. Other than that, there's no problems here.

Yah, and one more thing I forgot about; Goodwin has to give over his list, so we also, before the end of the day, have to have a Goodwin/Tom meeting at the Tailies end of the island. "forage for fruit"... is that what ya'll are callin' it these days?

Yup, just started planning it today. Arrival of a new player signing up spurred it on and we had some Others meetings today. Danny Pickett, Ethan, Goodwin, Juliet, and Tom are taken, but we still need people for Colleen and Alex. There's also that guy who was in the cage (Karl) but we don't know much about him. I think those are all the main Others characters. Adam was the name of someone at the bookclub. Those of you playing Others, we need to try to have a meeting or work out another way for us to discuss things since there are still so many questions about the Others. I've already spoken to most of you individually or with one of the other Other players in attendance, but we've got some stuff we all need to get together and discuss. For now, I have created a board that only those of you playing Others can access. Please go to this board and take a look at the layout. Let me know if there are any other areas I need to create and answer the questions in the "Creating Othersville" thread. Also discuss anything else you think is important. Hopefully this will suffice. The thread is found here, under Bear Village, The LOST Role Play Game - Othersville. Please let myself or the moderators know if you have any questions!

Also when Nighty time Roles around Vivian will be awake and there will be another Doctor on the island. Remember ladies and Gents Jack isn't the only doc on the island, so Vivian will make her presents known. Her fever should be breaking soon, thanks to her knights in shinning armor So if anyone needs a doctor (besides jack) come see Vivian at night fall.

Awesome, alright, Tom and Goodwin are having their meeting , but before Goodwin hands over the list, I have to know, is there anyone playing a Tailie that is planning on being taken by the others? Odd question I know, but I have to ask it.

LMAO, Ethan! I wanna' see that list. And yeah, Cyrus is still surveying the landscape, as far as I know. *tries to avoid singing Gonna' find out who's naughty and nice... * And yes, Etana needs to go bye-bye. 'Cause I'm lazy and can't handle multiple characters. Yeah, I don't know if we'll get it done quickly. Ana, you know Jake better than I do; what do you think?

Pearl, I agree with you about the cockpit thing, I think people should go out to it perhaps... but certainly not yet. I think after a while, some people should take the risk and go for it.

Lol, let's not open the discussion again about the cockpit. That's already settled. Okay all, I'm going to try and catch up with all the area threads to see if it's okay to switch to evening. If I don't run out of time tonight, I'll make the change!
