Also, I will definitely get the 14:53 one tomorrow. I was hoping to do it today, but my boss came by to talk to me right at that moment. I didn't think she would understand if I told her I really had to go answer a call from a time-traveling AI. Go figure.

Can you post a link to a thread that talks about 2 questions being asked? I didn't realize that. The question she asked me at 17:11 redmond sounded like "what ship are you referring to?" although I wasn't listening too closely. I answered Apocalypso and it was accepted.

T_L, absolutely some of the axons are "missed" due to "connection problems". Apocalypso is definitely the answer. I had one today, on a phone I answered just Sunday that has no technical issues. But when I picked up today there was "interference". In fact, I think it was an entirely different tape (I had just done 3 successful ones in a row) with noise added, and I don't think I could have done it no matter what. I think a certain number shall fail, at least initially. And remember poor Oliver last week - the one where he got it right, heard the sound clip, but the axon didn't go hot anyway. So we had to go back. One way to stretch the solve is to take a few pieces from the board at least temporarily. I think that's what's happening here.

Well, I know this is technically a Seattle area thread but I'm not holding my breath for a Stanwood area one. Wink

I got the 18:05 one at the Stanwood Public Library, and am happy to see that the last axon of the day unlocked the Kiss.wav file. But at the same time unhappy since I took the time to transcribe it all.

You're certainly welcome to brag about your activations, detayl Smile

Is anyone going to get the Capitol Hill area axons?
If they are still cold on Satuday, I'll go get them, but I can't get down there on work days. Unfortunately, if the 15:33 axon is, in fact, inside the SCCC building it has to be answered TOMORROW. If it's the one across the street, I can try it on Saturday.

If they're still there on Saturday, I'll go with you again, Wynn.
Remind me to bring a better camera.

At this point the only Seattle axon that will help open a .wav file
is "I_Durga 15:33". If you have read my post "Important Habits
of an Axon" you know my opinion on this already.

For the many of you that have not:

Don't bother connecting the axons that are grouped under a .wav
that is already open.
Don't go out of your way (outside your hometown) to connect an
axon unless it's your only way to participate.
If possible, only connect axons that have been activated in a previous
phase.

This ensures that when the final set of axons is released they will
be mostly repeats that are clustered and easily found.

Hi, at around 4pm pm tomorrow, I'll be at the University of Washington. I'll also be around the north half of Mercer Island on other days. Anyone need backup in these two areas?

Wynn,

Thanks for pointing out the 8:21. It was very late when I wrote that.

As for your reply, if you search, I was practically the first to start
yelling about the 777 counter. It's existence proves itself neccessary.
I didn't need the SP to blatantly spell it out.

As far as the individual axons go, everyone has a right to do as they
please. If you are having fun hunting them down, you are most likely
the person or people who will go back out and get those same ones
again. I drove out to Bellingham and Stanwood. It took the better part
of 6 hours and $30 in gas but I got an axon.

I don't see how my spec doesn't apply. You go out, get the axons that
you know are there, get a couple of NEW ones and ignore/can't activate
the difficult ones. The next round there are repeats that you get, then
a couple of new ones, and then you search again for the old ones.
This proccess builds upon itself.

Anyway, what do you think is up with the "email me where and when"
Princess message? Why is the fact that we WILL be present at a location
neccessary?

I'm disappointed in me, I haven't had the time to get out and enhottenate any of the 16 axons close to me! At any rate, I will make tomorrow my day and at least get the two that are still cold.

I put up a list of Seattle Area axons on my site just for easier reading:
