...Apparently television executives are getting ideas from LJ RP now. "Persons Unknown" is a total jamjar. I missed the first episode, but I'm watching the second, and I'm a little blown away by all the similarities.

People wake up in an empty town, with cameras watching them everywhere. Food is provided, along with... some spooky people who're running the hotel, or something? When they break parts of their rooms or whatever, it seems to get repaired as if nothing happened. The kidnapees all seem to have some sort of implant put in their leg to put people to sleep if they're acting wrong, or something, though at the beginning of this episode we see 'em digging in with a knife to get the things out. When they try to run out of the town with the implants gone, they run into an invisible barrier. People keep getting little messages, presumably from their captors, in the shape of fortune cookie messages. The main chick is getting ones to kill one of the other guys.

So on and so forth. I'm not sure I would care if it weren't so... DC 2.0.

EDIT: Hahaha they managed to drive out of town, before engulfed by a blinding light and finding themselves driving back in THEY ARE STEALING FROM LJRP IT'S OFFICIAL

Yeah, I've been watching it to see the similarities too, it is HILARIOUS. They all woke up in a hotel room and had to find their way out. Secret key hidden in the bible! And don't forget about the NPCs who don't know jack about anything.

lmfao I might just have to watch this for the DC 2.0 ESPECIALLY WITH THE BLINDING LIGHT OF DISORIENTATION XD

so what are we betting it's an alternate dimension XD

I think I remember seeing somewhere that people wanted to RP these guys in a jamjar just for the "Not again!" factor.

If I wasn't horrible about watching TV, I might tune in and play spot the similarities too.

Now we just need monsters or creepy critters or evil mirrors or something to make it complete.

Or people reviving when killed. That'd work too.

Oh my god I need to watch this show.

/waits for everything to inevitably come full circle and find an LJRP game based on this

Yeah I think there are already people plannin' on it

sometimes I just love the RP community here
