The Gang of Five
Howdy, everyone!

As you know, the forum has been fighting spammers and bots for years. We have seen our fair share of "Custom Kitchens UK", scammy Internet hosting companies, and bots trying to send us to a business's homepage. But after fighting the tidal wave of spam for so many years, the admins had a persistent thought: what if the spammers are right? Not in terms of posting nonsense links and trying to scam our users, but in trying to make money through our unique platform?

Well, thanks to the helpful counsel of Taunt, we have finally decided to move the forum in a new direction. Please see his important post on the matter in this topic

Thanks, I thought it would be only about half the length it would up being.  I don't usually like to do long posts.  Not my usual style.

Looks like some are having a very interesting and informative conversation.

So I've been kicking around the idea that the group will discover much more than they're initially expecting when they go to the island. Kind of starts off as them expecting one thing but being surprised by another.

What's everyone think?

A sudden event catching the characters off-guard? I'm all for it :yes

Whatever you have in mind, I'm sure will be good :)

Quick question: I'm not sure if Heather should already admit her crush on Vincent this early in the RP (assuming there's a lot more going on ;))... Should I, shouldn't I? What do you think?  :confused

I think she should be about to admit it, but then something happens to make her lose her nerve.

Yeah, I think it's much more fun keeping the characters in the dark about it. :yes It should be revealed at some point, but it might be too early right now. It's ultimately up to you though, Ducky123. :)

How would they get to the island, and not sure how my character would get involved. Maybe should drop him and bring in another who's an fbi or interpol agent.  Or a navy seal or something.

They're going to need an inconspicuous boat I think, and I still think Karl could get involved. If he's rich, maybe he could provide the boat after overhearing some of the conversation? I mean I'd hate for you to drop the character entirely unless you really think you can't do anything with him, but a second character I'm fine with if you really want one.

Or if they look up who owns boats.  Know him from somewhere, college, former school, ect.

Yeah looking up boat owners could work too. He'd just have to own one in Hawaii or Maui. Provided he does, we could use his. :)

That's a good idea  :) If we we'd be going by the fact that one of us thought to ask him because they knew him from before, I suppose the only character it could be is Heather?

How old is Karl again? lower 20's? Maybe Heather and Karl went to the same school or something like that...

Agreed! :yes

How are we going to drag Cailan along? Cailan offering his support out of personal reasons maybe?

EDIT: I have two ways in mind how to find Karl in the crowd. Heather calling him with her mobile (can dinos even put them somewhere when unguised?) or simply spotting him in the crowd. I'll go with whatever you guys prefer.

Yeah, glad to see you back Starfall  :D

I guess if you're undecided Ducky, you could always have her call his number, then hear his phone ring and spot him across the room that way?
