I thought Grund meant people were confused who Lostie's were. I had no trouble with that part.

I don't know how you knew to blow off his first (Hex6) code and to go with the correction-code that wasn't the right phrase - but, you AND redrun had the Lighthouse in the correct Hex via Newcastle's post - so yeah, you guys had no trouble with that. Totally weird to me.

I didn't (once I had the time to read) really have any trouble figuring out who all the Losties were either (save for the J.D. thing, I think my guess was that Arcanis was the silent Lostie, but after Lagom took over - I think it was clear that it was J.D. I can't recall how I deduced what team KK must have been on, but I had...)

I particularly enjoyed your death post with a vain attempt at trying make me seem like a friend, even though all the Losties knew better at the time.

There is a Sonic Wall between 13 and 16.

Nope. Fuel doesn't explode; it's a persistent asset.

You landed on a trap someone had set, IIRC, and it was because you bounced off the barrier.

I thought you would have been given the option to bypass the barrier - not forced to expose your lack of inhibitions.

Tired of sitting on a rock and reminiscing, you decide to set out toward your destination.

You travel northwest a bit, and then pause. Watching a rabbit ahead of you on the trail, you notice the critter hesitate. As you study it, the rabbit hops forward, hits some sort of invisible barrier, and falls to the ground. You inspect.

It's not dead, but it's out cold. With great care, you look in the woods to either side and come across large pylons. Apparently there's a sonic barrier at the transition between hex 16 and hex 13.

You're very good with circuitry, electronics, and sound, so this isn't going to stop you. With great industry, you rewire the circuit behind a panel in one of the pylons so that the barrier will drop just long enough for you to pass. Then you pass and proceed along your way.

Which would've been a cool way to communicate his identity to a teammate (had the FLAME not mooted the issue).

Nope-- that's not broken.
