PAX South 2015 Omeganaut Calls Have Gone Out! [Omeganauts Check in Here!]

edited December 2014 in PAX South
Hi kids! It's LtHummus here. You may remember me from Prime's "Shot a man in a blue suit and now no Japan for me" Spy Party Omegathon finale. Calls have gone out to those brave enough to volunteer as tribute Omeganauts for the first PAX South Omegathon!

For those that don't know, the Omegathon is a convention-long elimination gaming tournament that pits random convention-goers against each other (you got a sign up email if you bought badges). 20 random folks are picked and slowly whittled down till the last one remains (and gets a trip somewhere).

If you were one of the lucky few to answer the call for South 2015, check in here so we can find out who you all are and wish you luck undergoing the most nerve-wracking, torturous incredible, life-affirming experience!

If you didn't get the call this year, don't worry! Post and say good luck to your fellow PAXers! Then later you can watch and think "I'm glad that's not me up there" while they have to play some weird variant of Jenga while drinking water and whistling the Star-Spangled Banner....

edit: small FAQ

Q: If I'm an Omeganaut, what should I keep in mind?
A: DO NOT MESS WITH SMALLLADY (Messing with Travis is probably cool ;) )

Q: I got the call and said yes. It seems like I can jump a bit higher and run a bit faster.
A: This is a known side effect. If it lasts for more than four hours, please see a licensed physician (thanks Sary for that reminder)

Q: OMG WHAT IS THE FINAL GAME?
A: Some potentials:

- Twister with the mat covered in Vaseline.
- Who can stare at the sun the longest?
- Knife eating

Q: What is the proper reaction for the news of getting in to the Omegathon?
A:

    Well, now if I don't get one perfectly masoned brick extruded from someone's asshole, I'm just going to be disappointed.

    First, they didn't ship to canada.

    Second, their little poop nuggets were a far cry from a perfectly shaped brick.

    Whelp, I guess I know what the final round is going to be.


    Also rumor has it that a former PAX Prime Omeganaut is competing in the PAX South Omegathon.*



    *Not a rumor; I know it's true.

    This needs to be some sort of pairs/team competition. Just sayin'...

    The omegathon needs more ducttaping people together.
