[INFO/META] Stranded crew, report here! This thread is for those people who would be axon hunters, but don't have an axon in a convenient location. (Hopefully, the PMs are watching these forums, and will be able to use this information.)
Here's the format:
Name/Rank/Serial # (the last is optional)
GPS of one or more convenient locations (home, payphone near where you work, mall you frequent, school you go to, whatever you choose)
I'll start:
Peter Walker, Private First Class, serial number UNSM-255B-10359
GPS locations (I used Tele Atlas's Eagle Geocoder to get them - it's at www.geocode.com ):
41.974638, -074.296787 (69 Hillside Drive, West Shokan)
41.962377, -073.990316 (Hudson Valley Mall, Kingston)
41.945078, -073.997649 (UCCC Business Resource Centre, Kingston)

I'll edit this post to signup, since Knoxville got one week and it was a screw-job (out of 8 possible phones, none rang).
EDIT: Okay, here I am. This is my co-ord where I work, and there is a gas station with a payphone RIGHT NEXT DOOR. Literally a 1 minute walk.
35.887161 -084.149866
And here's my local mall, which hopefully has plenty of available payphones around it...
35.928156 -084.036683
Hope Mel gives K-town another chance!

I'll post here too, from Canada
If there are no public payphones that accept incoming calls, then see if you can link up any GPS coordinates to businesses maybe with a courtesy phone! puleeeeze!
I want to be able to off into the Ax-sun-set

Yeh - I'm in Baton Rouge and we haven't got ANY - the only ones in Louisiana were in LITTLE cities - does it matter that neither New Orleans or Baton Rouge havent recieved any axons yet - YES

Okay, I've sent out a message to Melissa by way of danatwingSPLAT gmail.com (since it's know that she is monitoring that address), containing all the available information.
If there are any more stranded crew - or if the current stranded crew update their locations using the Eagle GeoCoder linked above - I'll send out another email with the updated information.

Can't Quite do that since I'm one of only 2 embers of the crew who's Escape pods landed in australia, but those GPS coords are the best I can do. they're tied into the Perth international airport, so I'm sure that I could get a notice and hear an announcement for axon hunters..

New Orleans has had 2 axons for a while now. Yesterday we enhotenated one for the firtst time, and could not find the other. Both are in the Tulane/Loyola university area in the Garden District. Feel free to join us next week!

dont know if I count or not.... she asked my name and took my phone #.... told me I would be getting the calls/wk etc... THEN she asked for another nickname to which I replied McKaskill. She hung up. Do not know exactly where that leaves me.

Well, if you don't get a 'phone call next week, I'll add you to the next update.
Anyone else?
