Update 8 Jan:I have decided after hearing everyone's view to change the points to the new one I discussed yesterday. More focus is on the guessing of the correct character and less on centricity. (View 7 Jan update for details)
I have been receiving a number of questions about the game and have decided to post a FAQ below. This will update everytime i get a new question and i will tell everyone in the comments.
Thanks once again for everyone's support. There are still plenty of places left so tell your friends and lets spread the word about the new LOST Numbers game .

Answer: The day after the episode has aired i will discuss with the panel on the answers and post them as soon available. League table and results will be posted in detail on the Sunday after the episode.
Update 7 Jan: There have been a number of questions and worries regarding the centric parts of the LOST numbers game. I have listened to what you all have to say and i am willing to change the points to the following if enough of you agree in the comments. Click on read article below to see the possible points changes.
Possible Point Changes
Current Point scores
Correct Episode type- 50 Points Correct Character Centric - 100 Points Correct Character on a number - 80 Points
That's 630 points per episode plus an extra chance at points, which is:
Correct Character who appears the most in the game- 90 Points Possible new point scores
Correct Episode type- 10 Points Correct Character Centric - 20 Points Correct Character on a number - 100 Points
Correct Character who appears the most in the game- 90 Points
I have put more points on guessing the correct character over guessin the centrics. Discuss changes in the comments, if enough people agree i will change it to the updated ones.

Hi everyone, its CJ Sonic here and i am very proud to present a NEW GAME for the new season of LOST.
This game is very simple and a fun way to watch the new episodes of LOST. We all know what those magical numbers are (4, 8, 15, 16, 23 & 42) and i made a game which uses those numbers in a new and fun way.
You have to guess which character will appear at those numbers during an episode of LOST. Meaning which character will appear at 4 minutes, 8 minutes, 15 minutes etc etc... Pretty Simple huh? For each correct answer you receive points and in total there are 10800 up for grabs. (See read me below for a more detailed break down)
And what will you get if you win do i hear you say? Well how about £30 worth of Amazon Vouchers for you to spend?
All you have to do to join this new and exciting game is fill in the following form:
I will be accepting initially up to 1500 entries with the possibility for more if demand is there! So please join and see how well you can do in guessing when characters will appear on LOST. Anyone and everyone is welcome to join this competition. I will be giving weekly updates on who appeared, scores and league tables!! You can find more information in the READ ARTICLE's below
So Good Luck and i hope you enjoy the new season of LOST and i will be speaking to you all very soon.

How to Play
As you know the numbers are 4, 8, 15, 16, 23, 42.
In this game each number represents a minute in the episode, you have to guess which character (from a pre selected list) will be on screen at that minute(this is based on an episode being 42 mins long like on the DVD). So for example during an episode you would have:
The 42 minute character is the last person to be seen during the episode before the LOST End title.
So the idea of the competition is for each number you have to guess which character will be on screen at that minute. But just to add the possibility of more points you have to predict the episode type(flashback etc) and character centric (who is the episode based on).
I have selected a list of characters for you to choose from, which ever character off that list appears closest to that minute gets the points. The points break down to this:
Correct Episode type- 10 Points Correct Character Centric - 20 Points Correct Character on a number - 100 Points
That's 630 points per episode plus an extra chance at points, which is:
Correct Character who appears the most in the game- 90 Points
In total over 17 episodes there are 10800 Points to be won!! (notice how 108 appeared in there, coincidence??)
The Characters you have to choose from are:
Aaron Abaddon Ben Charlotte Christian S Claire Daniel Desmond Frank Hurley Jack Jin Juliet Kate Locke Miles Penny Richard Sawyer Sayid Sun Walt Widmore
Rules and Guidelines
These are the rules and guidelines for the LOST Numbers Game. They have been made as fair as possible and my decision on any matter is final.
Episodes are based on the 42 Minutes of running time and adverts are not included. Myself and a panel of forum staff will sit down and enter who we think appeared on screen at that time. Any disagreements will be discussed until all members are in agreement on which character goes with each number. This decision is final.
If the LOST titles (the lost sign) appear during one of the minutes, the first character seen after the titles will count for that minute.
If no character from the pre-selected list is on screen on one of the numbers the first character as close to that exact minute will be the one selected.
If a number of characters are on screen at the same time, the character on the left side of the screen closest to the front of the screen will be the one counted.
The 42 minutes person is the last person to be seen in the episode before the titles, NOT the person who is there at exactly 42 minutes.
My decision is final on the rules and any decisions regarding them. Anyone found to be cheating will be removed from the game.
