Axon status...

I left a message on the voice mail and emailed The Operator with my Axon info.

As I posted in another discussion area (sorry) I got a call today, which I believe I answered correctly.

I looked through the phone logs today (being the phone/network admin for the building has its perks), and I discovered that I missed a call from the same number yesterday at the same time.


So, what I'd like to know is this:

Even though it took me a day, my Axon did eventually go Hot. Does this mean my Axon is now part of the game? Or has it been cancelled out? Or was it part of the game *just* for this week?

Thanks.

Usually, Melissa keeps calling all week -- even after an axon has supposedly been marked "cancelled," as has been happening lately after Tuesday -- until she makes a successful connection. Once that happens, the axon will be marked "success" -- again, even if it was previously marked "cancelled" -- and it doesn't seem to matter whether it took you one day or six days to do it. (These days, of course, everyone tries to connect on Tuesday, because that seems to be the only day on which you have a chance of speaking to the "live" Melissa.)

Usually, axons that go hot stay on her list. I don't claim to have personal knowledge of every axon, of course, but all of the axons that I know we've been hitting every week have stayed on her list every week, regardless of when we hit them during each week. Is anyone else aware of an axon that went hot one week, but was not on Melissa's list the following week? I'm not. (Caveat: I have no idea whether this also applies to the recipe3 axons; I'm referring only to the "normal" ones.)

In conclusion: that axon is probably "part of the game" now, and I'd expect you to continue to get calls there in future weeks.

(Of course, now that the coordinates for next week have been posted, you can see for yourself whether your axon is still there. Mr. Green )
