Talk:Deceptions and cons

From Lostpedia

==Organized==--THE MONSTER 12:03, 18 January 2007 (PST) I came across this randomly, and it made me sad inside because it was just a screenful of bullet points and double bullet points with no discernable organization, but I really liked the idea of an article about the various deceptions/cons as a topic. If I've overstepped, please feel free to revert back to the messy list (and no hard feelings, I promise). It's terribly incomplete, but I'll get back to it. -Beardog4314 17:13, 25 October 2006 (PDT)

Nah, I think you did a great job with the organization, much better than before. I'll probably look it over in more detail later (after the show). THanks. --PandoraX 17:22, 25 October 2006 (PDT)

Misc

Why is Kelvin in the misc section. Isn't he a flashback character? --THE MONSTER 12:03, 18 January 2007 (PST)

• He may have been in a flashback but that was not his primary role, it was on the island in the Swan with Desmond so he is in the misc category.--Mr.Leaf 12:04, 18 January 2007 (PST)

• But the con did take place in a flashback and in Sayid's flashback he conned Sayid into torturing someone. --THE MONSTER 12:06, 18 January 2007 (PST)

• The con mentioned is making Desmond believe in the sickness and that he could not leave the Swan, which happened in "Live Together, Die Alone" and is therefor under Misc. --Mr.Leaf 12:09, 18 January 2007 (PST)

• I think Kelvin should count as a flashback character, because he has not been seen on the island in present time, if it where someone like Cindy who has appeared in both flashbacks and on the island but is not a main character, then things would be different, but since we haven't seen our bearded friend in present time, I say he's a flashback character --Mr. Crabby (Talk) 12:13, 18 January 2007 (PST)

Rose

• Should Rose be on there for lying to Bernard about not being cured with Cancer and keeping it from him.

Jacob

• Perhaps Jacob/the Monster/the Island should be mentioned. Although the island's Jacob might not be a conman, the biblical Jacob is. Many of the Monster/Island visions can be seen as cons.

• Is it necessary to mention this: ""Corvette" learns her boss is really the mysterious underworld figure "The Cobra" on the Exposé TV show.", in the Nikki and Paulo section? -- Abydos1 15:21, 24 June 2008 (PDT)

Formatting

OK, so I don't really like the infoboxes on this page. I think they look messy and just... not nice. Thus, I propose that we use the table format used in Animals and Unanswered Questions as I believe that this would look better.

An example:

Character	Deceptions/Cons
Ana-Lucia	Lied to her mother and the LAPD that she could not identify Jason Alder, because she was planning on killing him out of revenge. ("Collision") Had sex with Sawyer in order to get his gun. ("Two for the Road")

What is everyone's thoughts about this? And should an image be included? --   Lost Soul   talk  contribs  10:28, 27 February 2007 (PST)

I feel strongly that this article would be best served as a simple list, that could be fleshed out with analysis; I don't like the infoboxes at all for this one. -BearDog 10:32, 27 February 2007 (PST)

What's with all the hidden h3 tags? --Abydos1 09:13, 24 June 2008 (PDT)
