The Lost Challenge: Week One

First off, here is a pic of the island prior to starting the challenge.

Everything seen here was created prior to reducing the funds to 1500 Simoleans. Unremarkable, but it features a large beach area and a small "swimming hole".

The first order of business was to catch some food (and simoleans). I never realized exactly how pofitable fishing could be until now!

Then the job hunt began. The only one to find a job on Day 1 was Charlie.

Sun immediately took on the role of mother hen, planting the garden and making sure her fellow survivors were well fed.

Obviously the stress of island life and being the only paycheck was starting to get to poor Charlie.

But he wasn't alone...after purchasing a few things I THOUGHT were nececities there was no money left for a bed...let alone several beds. So our survivors slept on the beach. But this was not workin for me...it caused their needs to plumment and they would refuse to do ANYTHING. So beds became the number one priority on my mental checklist.

Day Two, Tuesday, 6 am...our first survivor to be taken by the others was Sawyer...*waving goodbye*. Ah Sawyer, we hardly knew ya!

Luckily the survivors caught several fish their first day on the island and I was able to affors a couple of beds, but it was still a struggle to get their needs high enough to convince them to look for jobs.

Thank goodness for Sayid. He managed to be in a decent enough mood and actually found his job!

The bookcase was good for filling their fun and getting some skills and asp points for my knowledge sims, tho I probably did not have to buy it in the first couple of days.

The first fire happens on night two. Almost all of the losties take an aspiration hit.

Yet only Sun and Sayid break down.

Where as Sun bounces back quickly after a little lovin from Charlie, Sayid on the other hand...

I am happy to announce that both Kate and Locke found their jobs as Adventurers...especially as one of my only two working losties was already taken by the others.

Nice first week. I like that you share your personal experience as to how thing went. What your first objective was (fishing), then your next (jobs), and buying beds.

You have a very pretty "Lost" lot. I enjoy those shots too.

Sawyer first... and... sob... Sayid?! wow... I figured he was a stayer.
Nice to see the lot slowly building up with items... can't wait to see what happens next.
