looking for a timeline, finding this site, reading lots of good stuff
playing JBRam's Lost Challenge game
- you needed 50 posts to play, to get access to the ability to PM someone, so I found a thread in the Community Lounge section where you could post again if the timestamp on your post post ends in 4 8 15 16 23 or 42 seconds. I figured out the timing and there I was at my computer, pressing the ENTER button according to a computer clock and the numbers
- first assignment was to write an essay, Yay! I Won! I would be one of the leaders.
- then I'm asked to make A LIST of who I want on my team, Do I know these people? Who am I to make a list? What kind of task is this?!? I make a list.
- previously I asked if the character of Sayid is available. I can't believe no one else has already chosen Sayid. Later I chat with the guy playing Ben. He's a good guy. We team up.
- I have a notebook around here somewhere. Good times on those early challenges.
- The game might have blown apart when I started something, an evil Widmore-like plan to invite friends from outside to join and help prevent my character from getting voted off. Just a little bending of the rules, Echoes of challenges past practically encouraged this kind of behavior. No one said you couldn't go off the island, erm, SWLS, to recruit some new players, and so I did, but my plan didn't work.
- Me and my buddy Ben got killed on the same vote. dammit!
- If I were truly evil I would have used Google adsense or hired some mechanical turks to help me. They would have been my army in a voting war! Come the apocalypse of mankind I will not be contained. I will bring the powers of a powerful self-made man to bear on this problem. Don't tell me what I can't do!!!!!
- but I chose not to do that. Mine is not an evil laugh. And after all, it's just a game.
- yeah right, and LOST is just a tv show. mother so-and-sos killed Sayid!
- Why yes Bernard, Sayid would like some tea, where's Ben been? ben-ben, that's funny, ben-ben, haha
- sky goes purple and next thing I know I'm wearing a parka and laying on my back in the front yard, so I make a snow angel
- true story, so help me, except for the powerful self-made man part, that was a Widmore moment, writer's embellishment and whatnot
