I'm gonna bump this because I think it's even more important now, after reading the whole "ballons" story. I believe there is some sort of information in the pattern of the axon locations. But I still haven't figured it out myself. I think so many people have been focusing on the wav file stories that we may be missing something hugely important.

I agree, we could be missing something huge.

Something interesting would be if there were more payphone coordinates that could be created by averaging the listed ones. Has anyone heard of payphones nowhere near the listed coordinates going off? If there have been any, they could be important clues.

possibly

So... loosely looking at the first axon set posted here... It looks slightly like the letter "P" if you "connect the dots in order. Anyone up for trying this for the whole set?

can anyone do a numbered "follow the dots" type of axon map?

Or how about a a "lightbrite" axon map. Without a color scheme to start
with you could make anything you like.

Re: axon plot

vector wrote:
I have plotted out all of the phone locations and grouped them by axon group. In do not belive that locations in each group are random. i think that there is a deffinate pattern here, just not sure what it is just yet.

The one possability that i am working on is that the axon groups connect to make out star constellations. the Durga group is eaisly Cassiopia and Hay_Aden could be Aries. Here is a map of a few of them.

I have the abillity and software to map out just about anything so if there is something that you would like to see let me know.


Vector...any possibility of the red grouping in ur pic being the big dipper (ursa major)? Any chance you could graph out a couple of more in this manner? This constellation idea is interesting (I know we briefly discussed this much earlier in the game, but these seem to be good..so far).

Sorry i have been away from the game for the last week or two due to that pesky work thing. I have looked for more constelation connections but have not been very sucessfull. one problem is that it is hard to find to constelation maps that agree as to what stars make up a constelation. so its kindof guess work. I have done connect the dot maps for all axons at once but not the groups. ill try that out when i have some free time.

Being in Omaha, Nebraska, where there haven't been any axons for some reason, I thought I would throw this in: what if the places where axons haven't been is significant? There has been hardly any axon activity in the upper and central Midwest. I just find it curious that some places would be left out.

1. Those locations have a less dense population than the coasts.
2. The calls only come in on phonelines owned by Verizon.

I know about the less population, but I didn't know that all the calls were from Verizon phones. That would explain things.

All hope is not lost.

Verizon has to share its lines with other carriers. Sometimes, there are Verizon resellers

example:

Why can't I switch my local phone company on the line with my DSL?

Cloud 9 uses Verizon's DSL network to connect you to the Internet. Verizon's DSL network consists of special equipment located in each Verizon central office (telephone exchange) that connects individual phone lines to a large data network. That data network is then connected to Internet Service Providers like Cloud 9.

Although Verizon owns the physical copper wires running into your home or office from the street and their central office, they have to make these available for other phone companies to use (but only for some services, like basic phone service). When you get local phone service from AT&T, MCI, or even a Verizon reseller, Verizon is in effect renting that line to the other company, and then you are in turn again renting the line from the other company. You no longer have a direct relationship with Verizon, but instead with another phone company who has arrangements through Verizon.

Due to a mix of administrative and regulatory issues, the Verizon DSL network can only be connected to phone lines that are also using Verizon's local phone service. No direct relationship with Verizon means no connectivity to their DSL network. A direct relationship with Verizon means they carry your local calls.

If you have Cloud 9 DSL service and switch local phone companies away from Verizon, once that change is completed, you will no longer be able to get Cloud 9 DSL. You would then either have to switch back to Verizon local phone service and have us reinstall your DSL, or simply do without Cloud 9 DSL. If you have more than one phone line, you can keep one line with Verizon and switch the others to a different carrier.

Your regional (also known as local toll) and long distance carrier choice has no bearing on your ability to have Cloud 9 DSL. You can also switch regional or long distance carriers after you have DSL and not experience any interruption of your DSL service. [/b]

Hmm... trail of red balloons.

Verizon's logo is red...

???

It probably doesn't matter.

[spec] Loews and axons

Has anyone checked on the relation between Loews theaters (where the trailer was shown) and the axons? Or would anyone know where to get a list so I could run some locations? Their logo is red... dunno if that's important.

A search through the forums only revealed that one DC axon was near a Loews theater, which is interesting... maybe only the ones near a Loews will ultimately be important?

Whatever important means, that is.

One reoccuring axon is at the Lloyd Cinema in Portland... but it isn't a Loews theater, and thus hasn't been showing the Halo 2 trailer.

Da-da da-da.... da-da da-da.... da-da da-da... da-da da-da, da-da-da da-da-da
