As of Day 2, we've had a meager death count of four—Frogurt, Horace, Jin, and Ana Lucia all played the game of life and lost. Of these, only Horace was an Other; the remaining three were Losties. "But how can Horace be an Other?" you ask? Ah, that's the beauty of this Island—anyone can be an Other; the Losties have to find out who to trust. Read along today at BattleForTheIsland.com! |

 The much anticipated Comic-Conin San Diego has come and gone. While the event as a whole is being considered a massive success, most LOST fans found disappointment in the open discussion that took place on Saturday. Damon and Carlton made dramatic entrances, only to spend the entire session dodging questions, giving vague answers, revealing very little, and making each other laugh. Still, it was a great way to spend a Saturday in San Diego. Check out the Comic Con July 2008 thread for a thorough look at what went down on the West coast. You'll find multiple video links that feature nearly the entire LOST panel discussion as well as lots of other cool stuff.  The body count has already started in Battle for the Island, a smart and sophisticated LOST role-playing game being executed by Stationzer0's elite group of Island moderators. Although it's too late to register and play, it's never too late to pop in and see what's going on—who's killing who, so to speak. Go to the Battle for the Island website to witness the best Lost fans in the world behaving at their worst. This week's "Theory of the Week" is not so much a theory as it is a way-cool discovery. The Octagon Global Recruiting game, launched at last weekend's Comic-Con, exploded within the Stationzer0 chat rooms during the week. Two or three handfuls of our most awesome station members spent a few hours bouncing theories off each other... shooting hotlinks... sharing clues... until the discovery of the Black Swan and all that goes with it was made! Check out ALL the Octagon Global Recruiting threads to catch up on exactly what happened! At Stationzer0 we are all very proud of the discovery and assorted clues associated with the appearance of the Black Swan. While it was a group effort in every sense of the word, three Stationzer0 members stood apart and above this week and have everyone's gratitude. We are so glad these avatars are on our team.... Rl212007 flushed "the prey" out of the brush... to his own surprise! He's sharper than he thinks he is. WickedSlip named the creature and stuck the knife in! I'm sooo glad I am not that creature. Check inside for a great recipe on the roasting of Black Swan using a Banks Claw marinade! Jimpbblmk went "Paul Revere" and made sure the world knew about the Black Swan discovery at Stationzer0 immediately ponthe find. Sorry England, Jimp-ee belongs to the USA.  I just passed my 1000th post. With the exception of the sincere friendships I have made through Stationzer0, last week's ARG (Alternate Reality Game) chat room experience was the most amazing digital event I've ever witnessed... and was "kind of" a part of (I was comedy relief, at best). I've been around a while.... I used to haunt BBS sites in the late '80s and early '90s. Does anybody remember "Trade Wars?" During the "Black Swan" OGR chat, I saw veterans, newbies, moderators, rookies (me) and PC-phenoms come together, have fun and bust the hell out of the Octagon Global Recruiting mystery(s?). This is my first ARG. I'm experiencing my first BFTI, as well. How the hell did I ever make it through summer without these things?!? Thanks to my fellow Stationzer0 members, I've been able to get over the hurdles, dry my nancy man-tears and get LOST within the coolness of the games. When I arrived at S0 a few months ago, the vets began to reach out to me within two or three weeks... they "dialed me in," so to speak. My experiences here have been great... even when they're not. :) If YOU are reading this newsletter and are not currently a member of Stationzer0, I and dozens of other members would love to welcome you when you join... unless you're an a-hole.  |
