    That fourth day must really cut down the number of eligible tributes participants.

    It's that wonderful time of year when we are all potential Omeganaughts.
    I would go so far in the competition, at least that's what I tell myself in my daydreams.

    I hope they take their time before the calls go out so we can all savor the moment before reality rears its ugly head.

    Nice thing I noticed on the survey this year is they specifically ask if you can attend all four days, but also tell you that if you were only able to get a pass for 1 to 3 of the days that they will provide you with a pass for the missing days. This should mean more people are eligible, even if you couldn't grab a pass for all four days.

    Hola, y'all, super newbie to the board here. This will be my second PAX ever (although my first was so terrible I'm not sure I even want to acknowledge its existence) but my first time being the one buying the tickets and thereby potentially being an Omeganaut! Fingers crossed!!

    This is my second time entering to be an Omeganaut and my 5th PAX. Here's hoping!

    Although I know I'll probably be out in the first or second round, or alternatively fall off the stage.

    It's just me, a block of dirt, and a cavern full of danger.

    Nope. I have a badge, but did not get a survey.
    For PAX South this year, a lot of people got them but I'm not sure if it was everyone. Maybe a survey for that is kept on file explaining why I didn't get a second. Who knows.

  • KyrieDonovanKyrieDonovan Registered User regular
    I thought every person who did the purchasing of badges got one... Is that not how it is?

    I believe you have to check that you are interested in competing when checking out with your badges.

    Never say never. When I was competing in the East Omegathon earlier this year, I thought I wouldn't make it past the second round. I made it all the way to the final round. Although, I lost in an intense and close round, I get to come back and try again next year.

    Just to clear up any confusion, PAX doesn't send you the days you're missing; they have you pick up an Omeganaut badge at the show. It's a light-blue variant much like the Special Guest badge but with an "OMG" instead of "SPG."

    Anyway, yeah, with the removal of 4-day badges it appears that anyone can be entered for the drawing now.

    So if we're chosen, we no longer need the badges we purchased? Or is the Omeganaut badge in addition to the ones we already bought?

    Different years have been handled differently. If you are chosen, this is a great question to ask the contact folks. Some years the Omeganaut badge just signifies you as an omeganaut. I would guess though that this year will continue the trend of the past couple paxes where the Omeganaut badge replaces your existing badges, which you can then give away to friends/family or whatever. Again, just speculation, make sure to find out from an official source when the time comes.

  • Jordman12Jordman12 Registered User regular
    When I was chosen for the Omegathon at East this year, I was given an Omeganaut badge and that's all I needed form the whole weekend. I didn't need the day badges I bought.

    I can't remember, but in years past has there been a tweet from Khoo/PAX about "answer your [expletive deleted] phones!"?

    Yeah there's usually a tweet from Robert when the calls start, but that isn't much notice.

  • Aardvark VulgarAardvark Vulgar Registered User regular
    I believe they said calls start soon after the omegaform closes, which was at noon today? So anytime between now and next week I would guess.

    I've had my phone next to me since early June with the volume on (usually on vibrate) in hopes of getting a call. I wasn't sure they would send a form out again this year. Hoping I get a call but also looking forward to not having to focus on my phone everyday :p

    I missed the call for South because I had went to scan something at work and left my phone. Here's to hoping I get a call in a few hours for Prime. ^_^
