    Do they normally hide Caller ID when making Omeganaut calls? Because if so, I think I just missed my shot.

    Am I correct in understanding that we get a game list in advance for all the games but the finale?

    You get less information out of that list than you think...

    I received a blocked call while I was in the shower... Should I be freaking out as much as I am?

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    It looks like I'm an Omeganaut ;)

    I almost fell down when my phone rang, I was in the middle of changing my clothes.

    And I take it since I missed that call... They won't be calling me back...?

  • LexiconGrrlLexiconGrrl Registered User regular
    While reading this thread, 'Final Countdown' came on the radio. I'm not kidding.

    Good luck you guys! Have fun!

    Happily on Sabbatical. Don't bug me.

    Yeah, they will not call back. They move on to the next number.

    The nice thing about having no reception, is I don't get any missed call notices. So I'll never know that they actually called or not. And I can sleep at night, telling myself that they didn't.

    From what I know, and this is purely off the assumption that it was Mike and Jerry calling, they'd just pick another name to call and move on.

    Maybe I just wasn't that active before, but it seems like there are a lot of active community members getting tapped this year.

    It's pure luck, probably about a 1 in 5000 chance

    Technically, the pool might be larger than ever due to the inclusion of passes other than 4-day, if I understand the selection criteria.

    Confirmed -nauts, did you have 4-day passes or some collection of 1-day passes?

    I happen to have a 4 day but he asked me if I did so I don't know if that is a requirement or not.

    And I also assume that there will be no way to plead my case, huh? Oh, well! I'll be there rooting everyone on regardless!

  • beyondcelerybeyondcelery Registered User regular
    Grats to those who got the call! Yes, it'll be about 12 hours before your heart stops jumping, and you still won't believe it really happened for another 48.

    I can't wait to meet you all! As this year's returning Omeganaut, it is my most excellent duty to organize a meetup for us all before we start. I've decided the 6am breakfast on Friday just makes people sad and sleepy, so reserve happy hour the Thursday before in your schedule instead. I'll have more details later. This year's gonna rock! =D

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    I just hope that happy hour isn't during the TWDT.

  • somethingwittysomethingwitty Tara! BostonRegistered User regular
    Hi guys! I'm an Omeganaut! Now what?

    I just got the call from Jerry. To my fellow Omeganauts, I salute you.

    Now you wait for your email. And check your spam box periodically because that might happen.

    I've been discussing the happy hour with BC and she's trying to make sure it won't conflict with PPD and TWDT. No promises yet thou.

  • zerzhulzerzhul Registered User, Moderator mod
    Conflicts do tend to happen at PAX :)

  • dougyfreshdougyfresh Registered User regular
