Well, the PA main page states calls start tomorrow. As many of you know, I had today in the gentleman's pool, which makes me the winner, being the closest without going over (price is right style).
I expect congratulations in the form of cake topped with bacon.

Haha, very true, jdarksun. On the note of Omeganauts, I'll be creating a new sticky for the omegathon for tomorrow, so this thread will likely end up locked. Don't be discouraged, just look to the top of the page.
yeah so i almost cried today at work.... i was in the middle of a transaction with a member (i'm a teller at a credit union) and my phone vibrated (which is normal because i get text messages a lot) and then it just kept vibrating... meaning a phone call!! and with everyone saying the calls were going out on a monday and today being monday... i thought i was getting "THE" call! and then by the time i got to the back room where i could answer... it stopped ringing....
i was almost to sad to check to see what call i missed
then to top it off... i got two more calls after that... making me even more scared i was going to miss the call
fuck work
note to self... take off mondays around this time next year ^_^
Well, fuck. Looks like my home number is down for the billing information. Guess I'm going to have to make sure that there's someone at home at all times tomorrow.
Edit: This will still all work if someone else answers the phone and I'm not home, right? They will accept that, won't they?
yeah i always wondered that to... like if i forward it to my friend if he can just say yeah he accepts? if the calls go out tomorrow though i won't have any worries though ^^

He would basically have to pretend to be you when he answers the phone. Also, I don't know what other information they ask for other than "Omegathon y/n"
Damn it. Since it's on my home number, not only will I have to either be home or have my mom pretend to be me, but the call will have to make it through, which if my mom is around to answer the phone seems unlikely due to the amount of time she spends on the damn thing.
Think it's too late to change the phone number listed? It's unlikely that I'll be called, sure, but the idea of missing the call is horrible.

I get rather spotty reception in my building, so they damn well better call when I have service.

Fwacky, if someone else answers the phone and they ask for you, will they hold while the person gets you on the phone?
I'm forwarding my cell to my work number while at work, but if my co worker answers.... they will let her get me, right?

I don't know why you're asking Moe, as he's not a PA staff member. Amber Fecko (sp), Mike Ferhauler (sp) and Robert Khoo (at least I got that one right) are the only PA workers who actually post here.

just want to say to all who are crazy anxious about being an omeganaut:
if you don't get the call, don't get so down on yourself. just remember, being an omeganaut means missing out on a large amount of pax for a small chance at winning a prize. last year, i got a few calls from a restricted number and ignored them. i later learned that was the day omeganauts were called. i was so down for a while, since i'll never know if that was the call or not, but later realized that i would have a lot more fun just enjoying pax and doing my own thing.
just look at it that way.

Yeah, I actually did much the same thing the other year.
If they cant get ahold of you via phone, they just just say "F**K it, we'll do it live." Bill O'Reily style and just come and find you in person... http://youtube.com/watch?v=2tJjNVVwRCY
yeah... being an omeganaut is most definately not something that you want to do for your first time attending PAX... although... being an omeganaut gets you all those cool "jump to the front of the line privileges" for the forums that have small capacity (at least from what i hear) sooooo just lose on the first round purposely and enjoy PAX for the rest of the time!!!! haha

...yes. I think this is an excellent idea that everyone should consider. Particularly if I am chosen.

New Omegathon thread stickied here. The new one is for the Omeganauts to make themselves known. So, I'll leave this thread open for general Omegathon discussion and round speculation. After playing Boom Blox this weekend, I'm convinced that will be this year's round one. I'm also convinced everybody should play that fucking game.

Received a call while i was coaching tennis from 360 350 6280 and i can't call it back because my phone has an error message when i try. I answered, but after they said hello i immediately hung up because i was about to get "caught", for lack of a better word.

I'm pretty sure they call from an unlisted number that won't show up on your Caller ID at all
Well i doubt it was some Omegathon thing. Chances are it wasn't. Every missed call is still a pin prick in the side. I'm becoming paranoid . What if I miss the call?!?!?! Oh noes

When I got my call last year it just said "Unavailable". It was Gabe on the other end of the phone. The page just said that they'd be starting the process today, it doesn't mean necessarily that they'll make the calls today.

I got a call from an unknown number two years ago (my first year) that I didn't take (i was avoiding bill collectors). I will never know...
That's why I hope I get picked.
Edit: This will still all work if someone else answers the phone and I'm not home, right? They will accept that, won't they?

You and me both. I'm always staring at my Mobile all day.
I'm forwarding my cell to my work number while at work, but if my co worker answers.... they will let her get me, right?

Still hoping to get the call this year, though.

I'll never know for sure (unless I am chosen), so I choose to believe that it is.
206 is seattle....
(they moved offices since 2004 but only about a mile away)
253 or 360 would be tacoma.
They do, and its done from the PA office in seattle...
a number wont show up on your caller ID though
I'm forwarding my calls from my cell while at work.
If it's just a random unlisted number with "omeganauts yes/no?", what if you have bad reception and answer with "sorry, can you repeat that?"
If you can't answer right that second - and can't call an unlisted number back, or if someone else answers you're just SOL?
