The brains, they are storming (7/30/08)
Hello and welcome to the latest brainstorming post. No idea too big or too small.
Here's the last brainstorming post if you want to take a look at ideas and do more work with them.
One of the ideas that came up last time was the concept of having things that could be useful to someone else's plot without knowing if someone had a need to make use of them. So we'll have an OCD "plot spare parts" thread for anyone who'd like to use it. (An example of a "plot spare part" is here in the previous brainstorming post).
OCD is up! Storm away!

Re: More specific!
The day starts off like it normally does every day however at the end of the day there's a catastrophe and since we're in a loop it restarts itself.
The next day people either have a sense of Deja Vu with a few people remembering the entire event. The people who remember try to convince others to stop the catastrophe and with the catastrophe happening at the same time.
People who are off the island (Alumni or people traveling) can get the idea that something is wrong when someone from the island calls them on the same day and don't remember the day before etc. etc. etc.
And when everyone figures out what the catastrophe is and stops it from happening the time flow returns to normal.
Re: More specific!
Would people on the island keep thinking that it was Monday again? (to pick a day randomly)

Re: More specific!
The only thing about time re-setting itself is that people would need to either handwave a whole week or simultaneously play out the loop and real time - either of which could get confusing.
Unless averting the catastrophe meant that time leapt ahead to catch up with the outside world.
ETA: And in re-reading what you wrote, you didn't actually say time would re-set, you said it would return to normal... so that could mean catching up with real time?
Re: More specific!
Ideally the time loop is localized to the island and when the catastrophe is averted they join up with whatever REAL day the plot ends on.
