This is a theory that Lost is a game of Risk in real life played by really rich men.
this theory is popping up here and there in pieces. I put all of the people in a list and put the countries that they are from as best I could, but if you know more please add them.
There is good talk about this at this forum.

I also like that Risk has 42 territories.
I believe that......
Ben and Widmore are playing a real life game of Risk. The people are the pieces (pawns) and depending on where they hail from, they are placed there on an imaginary board. Whoever takes out all of the opposing pieces(people) from the right terratory, gets that terratory. It's a game of world domination, but in real life using real people, kind of like playing a live chess game but really killing the people that are the pieces.
If Ben is playing Risk, then maybe at the end of it all he is getting Sayid to kill of the opposing players risk pieces. Maybe he will be the last piece on the board. It sort of makes sense of Sayid killing people for Ben. It makes sense of the people on the "list". It makes sense of people dying for no reason(suicide)
Kind of gives a new meaning to the word Lost, as in "lost the game of Risk".

Notice that the pieces(people) are stacked in several key countries. Many have been killed off as though they were in a real game and they were the pieces. When you kill all of the pieces, you own the territory. But what of the people from the Island, that they call home?
If anyone can put a territory on a name in the list please do. It would be kinda fun to put out a board with the peoples names on pieces in the various countries/territories and see what sort of game plays out as they are killed off.
