Nope, no cops. But I've been worried a few times. Hovering over the phones in Union Station (major train station in your nation's capitol etc etc), lingering near a payphone outside the White House's New Executive Office Building. You know, normal stuff. However, jamesi did talk his way through Customs for week one. THEY bought his story about the game. That and the tea, I guess.

Early days, people were suggesting carrying a "letter of intent" that you had written yourself. That's not really very useful. Anyone can write a letter. And the evidence of a game on the web is much more convincing than anything you could write. If you ever need to explain, just send them here where they can see for themselves. By and large though, the phones should be in public areas and you should not be/act concerned about waiting for a call from a friend. If you're not worried, you won't attract attention.

Now Secret Service guys (and gals) are very serious types. If they are locking down an area, just leave. This is just a game. That's reality. Be open, friendly, and nonargumentative. I hope I don't have to tell you NOT to try to handle them as an "in game" event. Don't leave your packs on the floor while you run around the corner to check a phone. Basic security stuff. Soon enough, they'll be gone.

Super Tuesday

Well G3K, good luck with that. Remember this is just a game though, if you get the feeling security is unhappy with you standing around, or if the codeword to activate the axon is something like "assassin", I would just worry about it later or not at all.

33.511875 -111.986529 :: 16:59 :: 44th & Camelback (Cork 'N Cleaver?)

NOTE: Everything's in the same order as last week, which is nice. The, um, digital imaging requirement originally freaked me out, but I guess camera phones are discreet and excusable enough. And the great part is that I don't have class during any of these (except the S MU and PSF ones) ^__^

Let the coordination commence. Who can come this week?

EDIT: Note the slight, but nevertheless important, time changes for two of the axons: the second S MU, and the West PSF. And, dammit, good luck. And watch CNN on Wednesday.

[aliendial]

Axons persist that have not been gotten. Especially if they have been gotten in an earlier week and missed one week.

[nobodyman]

G3K,

At the very least, I can hit Cork N' Cleaver at 16:59 as it's not too far from work. ASU would be a bit of a stretch, however. If this changes I'll pm you tonight and see if we can't organize better coverage of ASU.

By the way, excellent work with documenting the ASU axons! And the logo is pretty schweet too.

FWIW, when Clinton was at ASU for the '96 elections (starting to feel old), there were MIB's on the top of every building. It was a tad eery. I imagine wednesday's appearance will make '96 look tame, given the heightened security climate and the fact that *both* candidates will be on the scene. By all means play it safe.

[G3K]

We may have some issues with the earlier axons, actually. I'll PM you at some point after I talk to Bob about which ones I actually have covered. Tuesday is shaping up to be one hell of a day for everyone, axon hunter or not, so I understand.

Are you ever able to get Mills, though? Is anyone? I'm not sure who's been responsible for their enhottenation or lack thereof over the past few weeks. Sadly, as with the rest of the Wise Men, I can't make it to those this week.

And thanks. I actually cracked open my preinstalled Photoshop Elements to make that thing. I should make T-shirts.

Rec5 - ASU

[G3K]

Re: "eye": You talking about Annette? Farmer's asubstantial walk but that sodnds relatively feasible. We could concede that one to another player if she would be more value at home, though. I hate scratching this out on my wireless Palm arrgh

[Pegasus Team]

Yeah...

Unfortunately, tomorrow starts the really annoying security-elevated time frame (provided Badnarik is unsuccessful. If he's successful, things get interesting.).

I don't know if I'll be able to axon-hunt. Depends on activity, the vibe of the place, the requirement, and all that jazz. If I am not, I will make it known.

[G3K]

My two are okay, based on what I saw tonight. We'll play it by ear, yeah.

[G3K]

Note the slight axon-time changes, as above.

Bob: Annette's getting the Farmer Axon; G. Brian is willing to risk getting the S MU ones, since it's far enough away from the stupid fence

[Pegasus Team]

I know this - I was the one who asked them to do so, and I already got the time changes. Paper distribution will happen after we know what we need to do.

[Pegasus Team]

Hmm.

Rank and File - 0/250 ... PENDING VISUAL CONFIRMATION
Elite Forces - 0/15 ... PENDING VISUAL CONFIRMATION
Nav & Comm. - 0/25 ... PENDING VISUAL CONFIRMATION
Science & Medical - 0/15 ... PENDING VISUAL CONFIRMATION

So either we get to take pictures of these people, in which case Elite Forces is easy - at least to take. Trying to explain it away is another thing entirely. Looks like it could be good, could be bad. People are getting the axons, and the passphrase isn't public yet. Wonder what it'll be.
