We've actually been treating the non-player canons by acting like all the canon stuff is happening and Ariel has been temp-playing Sayid here and there, so he's actually already just gone out to map the island. Your original character can do all his own original stuff! Kinda been sticking with canon with canon characters without players in case someone comes along and wants to pick them up. Way less confusing for that person then. We have a lot of original characters so your person won't be lacking for stuff to do! Right now, we're getting close-ish to wrapping up the evening of Day 10 so we're encouraging everyone not to start any big plots. Smaller scenes that can wrap up soonish are a good idea until we time jump from our current Day 10 evening to, I think we're all agreeing Day 12 evening. Let's see if we can find some good ways to integrate him by making connections that could have taken place "off screen". I can always say that both my characters know of him, maybe had a short conversation or two with him. We can decide when next we're getting ready to have them converse again what it is they might already know of each other based on past conversations. Could be it was nothing past the general island tasks talks so leave it open for anything beyond that to be happening for the first time. Currently things have a pretty chill vibe. Seems most people are relaxing and chatting around fires. Feel free to start him off wherever you'd like. I'm sure other players will pipe up here with any ideas they may have or may just approach him. We'll definitely figure something out! Let me know in the Request a New Location thread if you'd like a shelter thread for him.

I totally agree with you, it could confusing, when someone joins to play these canon characters ... also god-playing these characters for now is a great way to include the plot elements! What Spencer's connections with other people on the island is concerned I will read up on everyone he meets so he has a past frame of reference and all I would ask in return is that they don't act like he just fell out of the sky XD If anyone can/wants to think up something specific for them I am of course all game! Like for example I can imagine him to be buds with Kristi Lynne 's 'Gabe' character, seeing as they have both been in the military and Desert Storm. Surely a lot to bond over. They could be the undercover police of the survivors As far as future tasks for Day 12 then are concerned I was going to have Spencer formulate a plan over the past few days to go back to the cockpit and try to get the SATCOM working, if anyone wants to join. I have been very interested in the disappearance of Malaysia Airlines flight MH 370 back then and how they were able to triangulate an approximate search area by automated signals the SATCOM system was sending. It was never mentioned on the show but I did a little research and apparently those systems appeared first in 2001 and by 2006 were already widely adopted. The way I understand it these systems can only send flight data, so they wouldn't be able to communicate with anyone. But if he'd just be able to turn it on it would send an automated signal letting everyone know someone was still alive. However, as seen with MH 370, the signal can't be triangulated very precisely so it would not give away their location. Unless anyone ever found out GPD data they could send. Which I think no one on the show ever did either. So basically it would just be a valiant effort that leads to nothing XD

Yeah, I can definitely see Gabe and Spencer being if not best buddies, then at least friendly acquaintances given their shared military background. Gabe was in the CIA working with Sayid in Sydney and since he hasn't really wanted to talk about that, he's kept his distance from basically everyone. But the day's fishing expedition with Heidi, Sarah, Linda and Alisha gave him an opportunity to open up and get to know some of the others. And Gwen is just trying to busy herself and be helpful to everyone. She had a flirtation with Sebastian, but that player is gone now so.... I've toyed with having her sort of replace Sun as Jack's nurse's aide there at the caves. But if Spencer does decide to go for the cockpit, she'll no doubt want to join. If only for the chance to look for supplies that would have been missed when Jack, Kate and Charlie went there. Ye Ol' Pearl

Oh no, they can most definitely be best buds. Would give the life for each other and all that 'Semper Fi' stuff LOL I just didn't want to impose by yelling "BESTIES" right off the bat so I was playing it cool They can definitely talk about all things pertaining to secret missions and PTSD and the struggles of balancing a career in the forces. Or CIA or the private sector ... similar stress levels and levels of secrecy apply. As for Gwen ... Spencer and her can totally have had that flirtation if you want to keep it. He probably wouldn't think it to be smart to get distracted from survival or getting off the island by mawkish semantics in pursuing anything more than flirtations but we have plenty of time to see what happens either way I am all for natural development of everything pertaining to interpersonal relationships ... it's most of the fun. So I'll have Spence pop in on the crowd at the Camp and try to weave in his planned mission for Gwen to overhear Kristi Lynne

Love the idea of Gabe and Spencer being friends! I’m getting the vibe that Spencer didn’t hold back chatting people up like Gabe seemed to have so I like the friendly joking vibe Spencer and I seem to have, especially the name thing. That’s gonna be good fun for awhile! 😆
And just clearing up a little misread regarding Gwen’s past flirtation. It was with a Sebastian, a character we don’t have anymore. People seemed to have noticed those two getting along all cozy so that’s why she brought it up. 😉

10-4 on the past flirtation XD Future flirtation then! So the SATCOM mission would be cool then? Not stirring anything up? As I said, it's just occupational therapy so he doesn't go crazy So far I am counting Gwen in ... what a setup it would be if no one else joins :3 All the reminiscing of past Sebastians. Oh and could Spencer have one of the guns? I think the Marshal's suitcase has been opened yet? Who does he have to sleep with to get one of those? Jack?!

I think it’d be fine. Makes sense that people would continue efforts to get rescued! I think cuz of the transmission block in the Looking Glass, nothing will get to the outside world anyway no matter what they try.
So we need to maybe rethink our time jump a little. We were thinking of Day 12 night but a night trek into the jungle is a bad idea! Everyone okay if we make it early afternoon instead so that Spencer, Gwen, and whoever else joins can do the trek?
I’m fine with it. 😊 I’ll check Kate’s canon timeline when I get home tonight and see if she can join. 😊 Definitely no way I myself will be venturing into that jungle again!

I'd be fine with jumping to early afternoon instead of evening, though none of my characters will be able to join the trip. Sawyer is still groggy and wouldn't join anyway lol, Derek is a Tailie and well... I'm not so sure if you'd like a Ben to join you anywhere. XD

Yeah, I definitely wouldn't recommend a night-time jaunt into the woods. Seeing Bennett do that is what makes Gabe suspicious of him in the first place. But they could certainly get diverted on the way back and have to camp out. Pick up some liquor bottles in the cockpit and play a little "I Never." Spencer is welcome to flirt with Gwen, but I don't think he's really her type. A polar opposite to Sebastian, almost. We actually don't have the Marshal's suitcase yet. As I recall, Sawyer and Kate find it when they come across a waterfall and go swimming. Jack keeps the key around his neck. I don't think the guns even get distributed until they decide to set up a trap for Ethan using Claire as bait.

Welcome back to the Lostie team, Ye Ol' Pearl I like your OC! I could imagine him and Gabe being all suspicious about Bennett amongst each other, and perhaps I can even have you and the crew run into him on your trek since he likes to gallivant in the jungle so much haha. He's an Other, currently under cover with Ethan collecting samples from Claire and infiltrating the survivor group. I don't have much of a major plot with Bennett outside of that story arc mainly because there aren't many Others players active other than Ben and Juliet. So if you have any ideas with what kind of story we could do with our characters, let me know My mind is always open! If you are still looking for suggestions for a canon character to take on, I made an OC named Linda Pace who is Charlie's younger sister, and I would absolutely love to have a Charlie around to play off of Just a suggestion, but I encourage you to think about it and take a look at Linda's bio/posts to see if he is someone you would like to play and if Linda is someone who you'd like to rpg with as a younger sibling!

Yeah, running into Bennett on this little excursion would be fun. Maybe he has to take a route somewhere near the cockpit wreckage to get to the drop point for Claire's samples. They could also have a run-in with Ol' Smokey while searching the cockpit. Why do I keep putting my characters in such terrible danger?

Oh! Sebastian the crab <3 Flirtatious little bugger :3 And got it, wasn‘t quite sure when the skinny dipping occured and how long after it was till the guns got handed around. Just volunteering Former military, Gabe and Spence, good with guns. It will certainly make for a nice conversation down the line why ‚the doctor‘ gets to play NRA Probably the only time Sawyer and Spencer would be on the same page. I also think in general Jack and Spence could have an interesting power dynamic! Neither would want leadership but could find many reasons why the other shouldn‘t have it XD Oh thank you, thank you Ariel <3 And I think it would be awesome for Bennett to run into them on their hike! Spencer is definitely suspicious of him but doesn‘t quite buy into the whole ‚others‘ thing yet so he just thinks the kid is a creep lol But Bennett could even be the reason why the team gets stuck in the jungle at nightfall and has to play ‚I never‘ to keep the bad spirits away XD Would be interesting to play with an Other lol As far as my next character goes I will def think about Charlie or the possibility to make an Other if that crowd is lacking! Good idea! And lastly, you guys can still jump to Day 12 evening if there’s npthing to do before and they get on their way to the cockpit on Day 13 if there are no contradicting plans? But both Days are fine with me :3

First, I'm all good for the time jump. I know my activity for Lost has been a little lack luster. So, fresh start should be nice. I'll pop my kids at a place and get them going again. Second.... Ye Ol' PearlWELCOME BACK! So much fun on the island to be had, let's get caught in a net and rekindle our friendship lol

We’re on Day 10 and will be jumping to Day 12 early afternoon. Just a thought regarding Spencer’s idea for the trek, I doubt they’d wait two more days if they’re both in agreement so it might be good if they kinda decide to think it over. Maybe the fact that a couple of the survivors had just been chased through the jungle by the mysterious monster might be the reason to give pause? Not everyone knows what went down. Gabe does so maybe he can kinda fill in Spencer so he understands why he’s hesitant to risk trekking a group out there? Then when we start Day 12, something can trigger them to be like, alright, let’s take the risk. Could be as simple as the two days passing without any sign of things looking up, tensions rising, etc. Just an idea. You guys figure what works for you but definitely wanted to point out that it’d be weird to wait two days if they’re both in agreement. 😊 Ye Ol' Pearl Kristi Lynne

Just saw the Gabe post! Another idea is just leave as is and explain the delay after the time jump. Easy peasy. Doesn’t have to be a big deal 😊

Post by Kristi Lynne on Apr 9, 2019 16:00:21 GMT -8
Yeah, I'm sure we can come up with some sort of explanation for the delay even if Gabe and Spencer have agreed to the undertaking. Could be some crazy weather, could be Spencer wanting to get some more intel from Heidi about the book she found, could be Gwen being resistant and Spencer not wanting to lose his bet. But yeah, it's certainly something we could explain after the time jump.

I am with both of you like a haunting spirit XD I think it could very easily be a combination of all of the above to a certain extent! I like the idea that he was blowing sugar up Gwen‘s ass to win his bet LOL Sounds a lot like Spence. He can talk to Kate right after the jump? She was coming, right? Anyone else joining?

Time for everyone to check in and let me know when your characters are ready for the time jump! If they're completely ready or in a scene that you're okay with having end whenever everyone is ready, let me know to move them to the Ready column. As for my characters, I'm ready and I think the Kate/Sawyer scene can end whenever everyone else is ready for the time jump. I went ahead and added characters I don't remember seeing around since the most recent time jump under the Ready column. Let me know of any corrections/changes that need to be made!

I can remove Bennett's whose turn request and just have him go up to the caves without further interaction. There is no interaction for Harley-Rae to have in the tailies beach until the next day we play. Harley and Bennett are ready, I will speedily wrap up Linda and Jack Jack owe's Gwen a reply, and Linda is currently waiting for Stu but as Kristi said it shouldn't take any longer than a few more posts.

Sorry for being slow! And some drama coming up but it's been dealt with That being said ... I'll reply as Spencer tonight but I think Gabe and him are ready for the move whenever you guys want. What's not talked about in the convo Kristy and I can hash out. And I assume we're doing Spencer going around rallying the team impromptu on Day 12 in the afternoon? Working on Gewn the third time in as many days until she finally cracks to his charm To head out bright and early Day13? Anyone else joining aside Kate, Gwen, Gabe and Bennett in another creepy lead role?! Ariel DarkSideCookie The Jester Of Tortuga Kristi Lynne Lady Lee-o Hollywood Heidi EDIT: I think I potentially even steered the whole Spencer/Gabriel convo in a direction where a simple reply or none should open them up for the jump :3

Actually, the only thing happening on Day 13 is the golf tournament (which Kate attends) so I'd almost prefer to just skip all the way to Day 15, say the golf tournament takes place that day instead, then skip to Day 15 night for the Claire attack. I think that it might be better if they trek out to the cockpit on Day 12. We were originally going to skip to Day 12 night but with Spencer's idea, we could make it be late morning. We did the research already way back when they trekked out there on Day 2. It only takes two hours to get there, two hours back. They don't necessarily have to go really early morning. I'm guessing it won't take more than an hour to find/remove the tech so really, they don't have to be gone more than 5 hours if there aren't complications. However, Kate knows there are bodies in there so I think she'll be bringing one of the makeshift shovels with the intention of taking some time to give those people a proper burial so that could add more time. We could say there aren't as many bodies left as animals may have dragged some off in the 10 days since she'd been there. Day 12 nighttime has good stuff for the Tailies so we're definitely time jumping to Day 12 night after the main plot of trekking to the cockpit is done. If we want to be able to skip to Day 15 after Day 12, the trekkers could have a problem that doesn't necessarily keep them stuck out there overnight. Maybe instead they don't end up getting back until evening, shortly after our time jump to evening? Also, just an idea, since the first trek already had smoke monster complications, maybe the second one has something different, like a polar bear or two showing up, making them have to close themselves up inside the plane until the bears finally leave hours later, hence them not getting back until evening? They could pass the time going through the overhead luggage compartments (Smokey chaos stopped them from being able to do that the first time and I don't think anybody went back for stuff since) and maybe finding more stuff they can bring back. Maybe even another booze cart that had been trapped in the front flight attendant area. What does everyone think? Looking forward to your comments and ideas! Reposting cuz it got buried again. Day 11Nothing. The show skipped the day and I think we can, too. Day 12- Sayid finds and follows a cable. Jack Shephard refuses to tend to James "Sawyer" Ford's bandages. Kate Austen worries about Sayid - who, unbeknownst to anybody else, has been captured by Danielle Rousseau. Jack treats Sullivan's rash. Hugo "Hurley" Reyes wants something to do. Rousseau interrogates and tortures Sayid over the whereabouts of Alex. - Ethan Rom and John Locke hunt wild rabbits. Walter Lloyd wants to join them. Hurley finds golf clubs. Sayid explains himself to Rousseau. (Not life altering stuff for the main survivor group.) HOWEVER! There's big Tailies stuff this day but our Tailies haven't been very active! More minor is Ana Lucia Cortez hears a boar and prepares a boomerang spear. She reprimands Nathan for going into the jungle alone for 2 hours. More importantly, this is the day the Others kidnap 9 people, including Zach and Emma, from the tailies' camp. Ana Lucia kills one of the Others who was carrying a U.S Army knife and a list of the nine who were taken. The tailies decide to relocate. Ana is suspicious of Nathan. Note: Not many huge plot points this day for the main survivors group with players. Most of it is flexible time-of-day wise so if the Tailies want to skip the more minor daytime activities with the boar and Ana Lucia interrogating Nathan (which can be reacted to through memory later) and go to Evening, I think we can play out the main survivor group stuff in Evening. Thoughts, everyone?
Here's also the next few days after along with my personal notes in parenthesis so we can think ahead of where to time jump after. Everyone please reply with your input! What are you okay with skipping and what do you definitely want to play out? Day 13First Island Open Golf Tournament. Day 14Nothing. The show skipped the day and I think we can, too. Day 15Tailies decide to make camp near a river in the jungle (I think we can be flexible on the date of this). Claire is attacked at night and claims to have been injected. We don't have a Claire so this would be purely reactional and since it's nighttime, I'm sure the beach survivors wouldn't hear about it until next day. Day 16Hugo starts the census and discovers Ethan (probably also Bennett in that case) wasn't on the plane. Ethan kidnaps Claire and hangs Charlie. Search party including Jack and Kate go out to find them. This is a huge day. I say we don't skip this one! As I've reached a day that I definitely feel we shouldn't skip (Day 16) I'm stopping there. Everyone, please let me know your thoughts! What days are you okay with skipping and what days would you really prefer to play out?

Yeah, I would definitely keep the cockpit trek to Day 12, with a possible overnight stay. Perhaps the time jump could be to late morning -- not too early, not too late to hit the road into the jungle. Good call on burying the bodies that are left in the cockpit. That may be what sways Gwen to go, since they weren't able to give them the same "memorial" as those in the fuselage. It could also be what delays them from heading back to the beach before nightfall.
Edited to add that you can move Spencer and Gabe to the "Ready" column!

It could still end up being an overnight on Day 12 that they get stuck in if you guys don't want to just have them getting back late. In that case, are you guys okay with still skipping to Day 15 after night of Day 12 and just do a kinda recall by your characters on what had occurred after that night/during the trek back/on the return/etc. or are you guys wanting to jump to morning of Day 13? I'm honestly fine either way but I do like to try to progress us on the big storylines whenever we can. Lots of changes to the list of who's ready and who's not.

Totally with you on keeping the plot ball rolling so IF the group gets stuck beyond Day 12 we can totally do a recollection on Day 15 for everyone who doesn't want to repress the memory of what happened XD Gwen, Jack ... put a sock on the doorknob and get it over with! Same for Stu and Linda

Ugh, I'm torn. On the one hand, I don't want to hold up everyone else and be selfish in regards to my own characters' development. But I also want to play out those conversations of the cockpit crew camping out for the night. But those could also happen another time so.... I'll just go with majority opinion.
