This from the SS board... this could be the unexpected event

----------------------------------------------------------------------
On December 14, 2001, there was an annular eclipse of the sun. This eclipse was quite visible in the Pacific. Although the maximum eclipse area was north of the Marquesas, there will be a decent partial eclipse (70-80%) visible from the island. This eclipse began about 9:30am Marquesas time (MT), and ended about 12:30pm MT.

While this should be inconsequential to the outcome of the game, it will be interesting to see if the Ep. 11 plot includes this impressive event and the players' awareness of it.

Sounds good to me, why not? Where is that elusive little devil anyway?

I agree! What a disappointment if this is the "event" that is making ppl reconsider their entire lives!

Maybe it's a combination affect? They see the eclipse, and videos from home, thus the varied comments, and show of tears?
Thanks Moon!

Interesting! An eclipse can be very impressive, I don't know about being moved to tears though... but they are getting a little shaky mentally, didn't they even refer to being on the edge last night?

I think there is a bit more to it, maybe a Marquesan ceremony of some sort involving the event?

They see the eclipse, stupidly look up and are all blinded, so they cry. r
