Oceanic Six Twitter Project

[Gideon]

All right guys, I know I'm new around here, but I had a pretty cool idea that I think some of you may want to participate in. Essentially, Twitter accounts will be created for the Oceanic Six (minus Aaron, obviously), and we'll use them to follow the events off-island in this season as if we were those characters. Need for information? Keep reading!

What's Twitter?
Twitter is a social network/micro-blogging service that is absolutely free to sign up for. You can see the example I've set up here. The amount of characters you can input for one "post" is limited to 160. This means sometimes you have to be smart to say all you want to say.

Who can participate?
Anyone can participate! Just post here with the character you'd like to post as, and I'll help you set up an account if you need any help. I would like for you to make a commitment to this, however, and continue with your character at least until he or she makes it back to the island.

So what/when do I post?
Just post whatever happens to the character on the show! Act as if you are the character, not yourself commenting on the character. Think of it as role-playing. You can post whenever you like, whether on Wednesdays after the show or any time throughout the week, but please do not post more than once a day, simply because people will be "following" you and we don't want to flood and annoy them. Also, please post at least once a week.

What can I use to post?
You may use the Twitter website, or any of the downloadable clients.

If enough people are interested, you might also be able to create an account for anyone else off island (particularly Ben, Desmond, and Widmore).

Any questions I forgot, or anything you need clarified? Just post!

Sounds like a cool idea. I don't think I'll have enough time to be updating and stuff, but I'll definitely follow along and check these out.

[Dreyesbo]

If you give me the tumbs up, I would like to be Sayid. Just tell me if it's okay, and I'll set up an account myself

[DarkUFO]

Very cool idea. I won't be able to do it myself but I'll be following with interest.

Hi, I'm interested in Kate. Can you set me up?

I meant I want to post (in alot of ways I am) about Kate.

Sure thing, go ahead!

baby huey, I already have someone asking to be Kate, I'm sorry.

Also, anyone may take Jack if they wish. I haven't reserved him for myself.

Don't you think we should add some kind of disclaimer? As in, we are not the actors? Just to avoid any kind of potential problems.

Sounds nice.
If i understand correctly we use them as some kind of blog for the characters?
sounds nice. i guess only canon-things are allowed right?
Can we use at least things that happened on the show in a different way?

Like as an example sun:
"found details about charles widmore...he knows where IT is...gotta make contact"
or "visited jin's grave today...i miss him" ...
Just let me know what is allowed and what isn't.
If you allow me i would like to be sun then.^^

I don't think there's any reason to add a disclaimer, but if you wish to, go ahead. Hopefully people would be smart enough to realize the Lost actors are far too busy to do anything like this.

Sounds nice.

And yes, of course, those are great ideas! You'll be great for Sun.

Cool. I'm Sun then. Gonna create my account now ok?

[Jess]

Follow the rest of us once you do

Just Hurley left, then?

Oh, Ben, Des, and Widmore, too.

[Gideon]

Yup, Hurley and whoever wants Jack. Also, if more than one other person wishes to do this, then Ben and Desmond are also up for grabs.
