    The calls have been over for quite some time. They basically do it all at once within a few hour period.

    Naw, thank you. ^_^ I made both of them a few years ago and am quite proud of them (especially because most of my work is horrible). :P I was a little annoyed that I couldn't have them at their proper size, but oh well.

    Anyway, I look forward to seeing you there, Rith.

    Oh well I may as well tell you all as it is probably going to be announced publicly at PAX. I'm from Canberra, ACT

  • RothvingRothving Registered User new member
    Howdy all. I'm an Omeganaut from Adelaide! The second one by the looks of it. Usually known as Redwing, or Jason in meatspace. Excited and terrified at the same time!

  • DesparisDesparis Registered User new member
    Hi All,
    Late to the party but I'm an Omeganaut from Sydney. Can't wait to meet you all. This is gonna be fun!

  • DracohawkDracohawk Registered User regular
    Also I've gotten around to making a Twitter account now and have started following the other Omeganauts that also have one. @Dracohawk

    Hey guys, I got a missed call from a Victorian number this morning that I think might be an Omeganaut call because no one else would call me from Victoria. The number is, 03 9988 6014. Do someone recognise it? It doesn't work when I call back. What do I do? Did i just miss my opportunity? :(

  • chimpachimpa Connor Jacobs BrisbaneRegistered User regular
    No Queenslanders? Then I'm afraid I have no choice but to barrack for a draw, or better yet, elimination/disqualification of all contestants! Mwa ha hahaaa!

    Nah they did all the Omeganaut calls in one day (Tuesday 28th May) it was done on a private number and I believe they were calling from the USA using skype. If you didn't answer the phone or didn't get called then you missed out for this year.

    Don't give up hope, there may still be a competitor or two who haven't made themselves known yet.

    I'm going to go around and follow all you folks on Twitter. Do any of you have Tumblr as well? I'm more active on that than my Twitter.

    What happens if they don't get back to you? Do you pick someone else?

    Hi everyone. Been meaning to respond to this for a while. I am one of the omeganauts, omgbob on Twitter :)

    Anyone started any training yet? :p Looking forward to the games being announced so we can get practising!

    1 month to go, woo, can't wait

    @EvAde welcome and congrats!

    I've just updated the OP, we now have rounds that have been published in the schedule. Time to start practicing!

    Win, Lose or Draw.

    Sounds like one of the games from Spicks and Specks

    I don't suppose we know if the hell that is Geometry Wars is on PC or console?

    My bet for the finale - Two up.

    Or we actually have a Thunderdome built. TWO OMEGANAUT ENTER. ONE OMEGANAUT LEAVE. THE STAYS IN THE DOME UNTIL NEXT YEAR.

    Also, technically, we can't play Two Up unless in ANZAC Day.
