Day 7

[Fancy Monkey]

Day Seven itineraries are due about 24 hours from now at 5 PM ET Friday, January 25. I'm not going to keep a running tally, partly because I won't be around much or at all tomorrow, but mostly because I don't want you to know how many itineraries are in or who has the tiebreaker advantage. Suffice to say that with 24 hours to go, we've received more than one, and more than one are still out there.

I'm not sure when you will get fork in the road info - but be on the lookout for it.

If you have any questions, post them here or PM us (clayseason, scotpgot, and myself).

Looking forward to the finale...

[scotpgot]

Squee.

[Rocky Raccoon]

Indeed.

[vonnegut]

Damn, I thought they were due today at 5 PM.

I HATE WAITING.

[Rocky Raccoon]

Hi, vonnegut.

[DogMa]

Is it too late to start over?


Not for the itineraries, I mean for the whole game?:p

[scotpgot]

Nah. Go ahead and submit all 64 steps tonight. I need it within the next hour, though.

I expect all my forks to be turned around to me in the next 15 minutes.:D

[sgtdraino]

I should point out that Day 6 Interrogation Scenes are only playing out now (late 23rd, early 24th), and information revealed in those scenes could have an impact in peoples' itineraries. Any chance of moving that deadline back a bit?

[Fancy Monkey]

Nope, sorry. We've gotta have everything by then in order to have time to set up the finale.

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Yeah, when I said a couple of days ago that my excitement was waning, it was because we couldn't coordinate the Jack/Bernard scene and my Day 6 itinerary somewhat hinged on what I learned. I know the realworld gets in the way...it was threatening to mess with my game, but I'm glad mav & juanbong are okay.

Not that it really matters, as I ended up in Ana-Lucia's pit without even Goodwyn's corpse to keep me company.

[GardenMom]

I hate figuring out time zones. It hurts my brain.

...says the person who went to bed at a decent hour last night.

(I think I solved the puzzle of how LOST has all those weird scenes of it being night, then day, then night again...the Losties are all in different time zones!)

A woman after my own heart. How about they're LOST between today and tomorrow as they cross the international date line? :D

Yeah, I went to bed at a decent hour, but this woman gets up while it's still dark out. :D

[island_maverick]

Trust CS to throw the IDL curve ball into the mix. :p

[scotpgot]

A little over five hours to submit itineraries.

*starts clock*

[Maestra]

And scot, you're turning them around in 3 hours, right? ;)

One scene gave you problems? For me it was three scenes that never materialized and 14 wasted game days that led to me trying to pull the plug on Paulo last week.

[cinderellabop]

Poor Paulo. I'll do a scene with you. :(

[clayseason1]

What three scenes?

[Homer Noodleman]

Claire, Jack and Kate on the Open Stage.

[cinderellabop]

Well, I tried to give you something...

[clayseason1]

Claire, Jack and Kate on the Open Stage.

Ah ... the open stage. (sighs) Yes, I thought more players would take advantage of the opportunities it presented and the fun that would have ensued. I particulary enjoyed the recent mud-fight. It's a crying shame Nikki sliced Sun's fingertip off. I wonder if that was ever salvaged?

[scotpgot]

Three hours and counting...

[Driveshaft4Dee]

I'm not much for the Open Stage area because there's hardly a place to throw in my 2 cents. Besides it's really more random stuff, as of late, and I like being true to the character. I wouldn't have minded more scenes though.

I hear you.

Unfortunately, some people's itineraries often placed them in proximity to players that online time frames conflicted or didn't give a big enough window for that opportunity. Additionally there were and are some scenes like the interrogations that have to played out for the clue possibilities.

I tried to scour the combined steps of all of the players and come up with scenes but sometimes that just didn't work. I offered solo scenes to players to help make up for the missing stage time.

I would like to have seen more of Michael myself. I think you've really nailed him and I enjoyed the scene with Sayid and the kidnapping scene. We were lucky to get that kidnapping scene in as it got a real late start and one of the players had to stay at work for quite some time to finish it.

I'm sorry that the scenes didn't work out as equitably as we thought they would. The opportunity still exists to do some creative adlibbing in the open set thread.

[Homer Noodleman]

Besides it's really more random stuff

Yea. Unfortunately for me people never really dialed into the fact that Paulo had to play his game on the Open Stage (the couple of recent Closed stage scenes are a result of me asking how the hell I could get Paulo back to the beach so he could make his accusation and be put out of his misery).

Believe it or not, I had a strategy in what I was doing. Two weeks of making noises in the bushes and twiddling my thumbs pretty much made a hash out of that notion.

[Rocky Raccoon]

Plus, some people had to leave at really inopportune times with little or no warning.

:p

[clayseason1]

I hear Walt kept showing up in the open thread. But instead of exploring what he had to say (which may have held some clues) he kept getting sent back to camp to help Frogurt.

[cinderellabop]

Homer, if you're willing to try again, I've posted in the open stage thread, and given you an opening. :)

[vonnegut]

They sewed it back on, dammit!

1 hour remaining!

[Homer Noodleman]

Cindy,

Ok... although it is a bit late for the nefarious plotting of Paulo's ghost, I'm sure he can dream up something. It will be a wee bit later this evening though.

[cinderellabop]

OK, cool. :)

[clayseason1]

Shot down!

I think not. Walt had already left the thread. He only came back to give some closure. :nanabobo:

[Homer Noodleman]

DogMa,

As I say... there was a method to my madness. Nikki was always slated for the last day (BTW, did you get my suggested opening?).

[cinderellabop]

Homer, you'll have to tell us more about your intended strategy after the game is over. When you appeared to me as a giant bee, I simply assumed you just wanted me to take my top off and run away. Since I was already wearing nothing but a towel, I gave you what I could. ;)

[DogMa]

I think not. Walt had already left the thread. He only came back to give some closure. :nanabobo:Pfffttttt.....semantics.:p


I throughly enjoyed myself while mud wrestling with Sun. I just didn't expect her to give me the finger though.




DogMa,

As I say... there was a method to my madness. Nikki was always slated for the last day (BTW, did you get my suggested opening?).I don't think I got that one Homer. The last one I got was when you said you had an idea. I have been having trouble sending and receiving PM's.

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Paulo, if I ignored an attempt by you to interact in the open thread, I do apologize. I know I stretched the scene between Nikki & Myself out in the Open Thread, simply because I was working the Jack Interrogation scene and balancing things here at work, too. I've run myself pretty thin this week.

[The Central Scrutinizer]

Well, I'm guessing no news is good news.

[Crandyman]

Well, I'm guessing no noose is good noose.

*Fixed.

[The Central Scrutinizer]

I may be bruised, bloody, beaten, and muddy, but I'll make it at least halfway to the damned launch site if it kills me.

[Crandyman]

Just find that damned black horse that's out there.















And no, I don't mean Rose.

[Homer Noodleman]

CS,

You were actually planned to be the next one haunted after Kate. For scheduling reasons I went to Sayid next, and had planned on MLK Day for Bernard. However, the game hit a delay that weekend and no other scenes ended up getting staged. To prevent piling up too many back to back Paulo hauntings and turning it into the "all Paulo all the time" channel, I deep sixed that plan.

[Rocky Raccoon]

Yeah, what was with the bird egg?

[Homer Noodleman]

Can't answer that yet.

[vonnegut]

(BTW, did you get my suggested opening?).


....twss?

[DogMa]

*pushes Sun back in the mud*

[Driveshaft4Dee]

Well.......I had to play the part.... :sigh:

[clayseason1]

Well.......I had to play the part.... :sigh:

lol - yes -- and you were very good. Confidentially, Walt told me the next time you showed up, he was going to tell you that he finally figured why his mom called you Batman.

[Driveshaft4Dee]

Father knows best. ;)

[clayseason1]

Father knows best. ;)


No.

You got some serious radar! You could be nowhere in sight - not even signed on - and as soon as Walt stepped into the thread - Bingo! There you were.

[scotpgot]

:D

*pulls Nikki back into mud with her*

[island_maverick]

Claire, Jack and Kate on the Open Stage.Damn, Homer, why didn't you say something sooner - like, at the time? You do know about those PM thingamyjigs, don't you? -- just sayin'. :p

Hell, I'm always up for a bit of verbosity, especially in something like this where you can let imagination wander. I'm actually gutted I missed out on a tryst with our Brazilian hero.
