[Info] Special Axon Round-Up (Updated 10/11)

[aliendial]

UPDATE: drink_the_beer is cleared!

Many thanks for last minute saves by UCLA and Univ. of Minnesota Twin Cities axon hunters for putting us over the top on this one!

Still need the recipe3 axons, gang. Although I'm starting to get a bad feeling about the UK axon - is it, like the cranky_old_man axon, a missing or incorrect phone that SP and/or Melissa can't fix?

[Rogue Element]

The UK Axon, AKA the_labyrinth, isn't a case of a missing phone since there are two right on the GPS coordinates. These have failed to ring on multiple occasions.

After this it gets tricky. This is Soho and there are dozens of payphones within a couple of blocks. All the vaguely likely options will have been covered by the end of the week at which point there are 3 possibilities;

1) PMs have the wrong number for the specified phone.

2) Phone is not in a box but in a shop in one of the near by streets.

3) GPS co-ord is way off.

In any event we're screwed because we don't have the manpower to expand the search radius by much more. Central London has way too many payphones considering the proliferation of mobiles. How do these things turn a profit?

If I had known we needed a GPS unit, I would have asked one of my coworkers yesterday and had one today.

However, one of my coworkers has geological survey software and mapped out the coordinates for me. The coordinates are slightly southwest of mapquest and streetmap (which round without telling you).

If nobody gets it tonight, I will see what I can do to borrow a GPS unit and show up on Saturday. Please get it tonight!

Just so that you know, Cranky_old_man has moved

It's now located here: acme

Nah it's not even that far (see above edit)
The original GPS was on the side of that church too. It looks like one of the 6 will be it.
Otherwise it's inside the church (may have been checked already) or in one of the shops on Old Compton Southside.

Gimme a sec - almost updated my map and zoomed in.

Cross post from the recipe3 thread in the Axon coordination forum:

OK, for ease, here's the link to the London Axon Thread.

Please take all London related comments there from now on, simply because it's easiest if everything's in the same place. Thank you for your cooperation.
