Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!
[EAST] PAX East 2012 Omeganauts - calls have ended

Do you have a twitter I can add to the twitter list?

It's kind of a mystery, he never responded to me on facebook after the contest. I know Khoo tried to get in contact with him, I guess to no avail. But yes, he was invited but apparently declined or could not be contacted.
While Gabe & Tycho don't read the forums, one of the early perks of Omegathon is you generally get some unique time to talk with them at the con.
strangest phonecall ever. nearly crashed my car on the 90 when my phone rang. and then i thought i hit a marker on the side of the road when i pulled over, so i was kind of distracted hoping that i didn't mess my car up (more - poor thing
so, that's cool, i suppose.
PAX East 2012 Omeganaut. Awesomest. Time. Ever.

There are what, two rounds a day? I am pretty sure something like that. The final round is about 6pm on Sunday (or at least that is what I remember from last year).
God, I really wish I got picked for this.
I'm sure you don't think it is, but just to be clear in case someone reads this and gets confused, I'm fairly certain nobody can trade spots even if both parties want to

The rounds are public, and everyone is encouraged to attend. There have been +1 rules before, but as the show gets bigger, it's getting more difficult to set that up.

Congrats to all the nominees, and good luck out there!
Round 1 - Friday, immediately after the keynote, but we had to be there before the keynote for shirt distribution/logistical stuff. (On the plus side, that meant we got to snag first-row seats for the speech.)
Round 2 - Saturday morning.
Round 3 - Saturday before the concert (and we had to be there WELL before the concert).
Round 4 - Sunday morning.
Round 5 - Sunday afternoon before the closing ceremonies (and, again, we had to be there well before).
I don't know yet if that will change this year. I'm just hoping they don't schedule anything for Friday evening at this point - past that, I'll see how it goes. This WILL eat up your weekend. You WILL have to show up early for every single round, or at least every round in which you're competing (though eliminated contestants are encouraged to cheer the remaining Omeganauts on). Your schedule will be built around this event. Now, that said, there will be time to do other stuff. But the Omegathon will be the center of your PAX East experience. That's just fact.
It's awesome. Don't get me wrong. But you will eat, sleep and breathe Omegathon for three days.
Oh yeah - also? You WILL be asked for a head shot. Not as in sniper rifle, as in a picture of your smiling face. Get yourself prettied up and make arrangements with your best friend or your mom or your personal photographer sooner rather than later. You'll want something nice and high res so you can adjust it to the size they want. You will not have a lot of time to get this done, 'cause they need it for the program and some other stuff that'll be printed on a fairly tight schedule. Do this ASAP.

Sadly, I figured that. Haha. Plus, who would want to trade into the competition and not get a call from Mike/Jerry/etc.?
Hey man, sorry you're not going to compete. Here are a couple e-mails you can contact:
Travis (head of omegathon operations) - chief.omegatech at gmail com
Robert Khoo (The man that runs PAX) - rkhoo at penny-arcade com
I hope they can randomly select someone else to join you guys.
Moderators on the forums are not PA employees, FYI. PAX is but one very small subsection of the PA forums. PA employees will have "PA Staff" with their avatar on the forums.

Would anyone called "Michelle" have rung or is it only Gabe / Tycho ?

As far as I know it's just them, I haven't heard any omega-call stories involving anyone else
I couldn't believe it when I got the call from Gabe.
A New Challenger Appears! Welcome. I'll ask zer to add you to The List!

Yeah I think they're still trying to get the formula right with the whole pairs thing. Here's hoping it's still fun for all involved
