    Sweet, I didn't know we get a sidekick either.

    I don't know anyone else going to PAX so I suppose I'll have to find a willing soul as well.

    I'd love to be your +1, just know that I have sworn my allegiance to the OmegaBat first and foremost. Then again, I am awesome enough to handle any encouragement you'd likely need.

    I will totally be your +1. Although I too had sworn allegiance to the omegabat, but I am totally willing to switch sides for the greater good.

    You wouldn't say no to someone in a wheelchair right?

    I haven't sworn allegiance to anyone, and I've got a proven track record of being an Omeganaut sidekick!!

    My pal JoshEEE was one of the very first Omeganauts, back in PAX 1! I was his "security detail"

    I need to find pictures of that...

    So, since it has not been posted yet, Mario Kart Wii was removed due to technicalities. Instead, Mario Kart: Double Dash has been replaced!
    This works out better for me, since I sold my Wii a while ago, and I still have my GC and Double Dash, as it's the only game I actually kept (besides the GBA player)

    They couldn't get it to let the right amount of people play. It would end up eliminating 5 people, when they want to only eliminate 4.

    Long story short, player match up was a PITA, and resulted in uneven numbers of people that would be eliminated in the first round

    Yeah... bizarrely, MK Wii doesn't do LAN play, so you could only have a controlled match of 4 people, max, even though if you were just to take random people over the internet you could have up to 12. (Odd design decisions for the win.)

    I just sold my Double Dash last year. Time to see if I can't buy it back...

    Speed Sudoku would be amazing. Put it up on whiteboards and have the players solve them on stage, like at the Sudoku Championships. The key to a good game for the non-electronic round is something that is highly visible and has a playtime of about a half-hour, while being relatively easy to explain and conduct. I wonder if Carcassonne would work? Of course, it's also got an electronic version on XBLA. Hmm.

    Actually, Speed Sudoku exists online (at www.speedsudoku.com) :!:

    Plutonium and I have recently found that Wii Sports Resort would make for a great Omegathon round. Specifically, the Sword Duel mode. Each set is best two out of three rounds; make a match between Omeganauts something like three sets out of five. It'd be great to see.

    ATTENTION ALL SUPPORTERS OF AWITELINTSA (AKA @mrsashlux AKA Rachel Kraft)

    There will be something going on to show support and represent Team Pirate (the official name.)

    GPIA7R, awitelintsa and myself all agreed that if Miss Isha has buttons as being the OmegaBat, we need pirate flags for Rachel being Omega Pirate (Yes! I know there is a creature from a video game called that.)

    With that being said, I will be creating and handing out pirate flags that states "Privateer -Supporter of Team Pirate" Maybe not all those words since the flag is small and on a stick.

    Now. Due to time and budget restraints there will be only 10 of these flags to hand out. I will be handing them out since Rachel has too much to worry about during the Omegathon and GPIA7R will be cheering her on as her +1 (which all three of us agreed that he and I are sharing--if allowed.)

    With only having 10 to pass out, they will probably be gone by the time Round One starts. So, with that being said, you can find me in line wearing a Safari Tour Guide outfit with the Queen's English Dictionary in one hand and The Dinosaur in the other.

    If you are unable to receive a flag, still show your support to Rachel (our Captain) by cheering her on and yell out your best Pirate noise to show that you are a Privateer in Team Pirate!

    Is it just me, or is it weird and kind of a gyp that they put this out before any info on us other than our real names is out?

    I mean, people should at least be able to pick based on our little bios.
