Maybe when the Island's moved some poor innocents get caught up in it, like the orginal Henry Gale: one minute he's happily flying his balloon and then suddenly an Island pops out of nowhere and he flies and crashes into the trees. Or it suddenly appeared directly ahead of the Black Rock one day, and it crashed...but the BR is quite inland, so maybe the ship was sailing one minute and then the next found themselves in the middle of a jungle.
I'm not sure about Widmore being an original Island leader/inhabitor (though of course he could well be), but more like an Island leader wannabe, who is trying to get the title and the power through artificial ways of his own devising, rather than being 'chosen' as such.
But I do love the game theories, and really do think Widmore and Ben consider it the grand prize in their on going battle between each other...in their game that may have been going on for years and years through both time and space.
