Massachusetts checking in.

Today an associate of mine and I hit the Braintree, MA Axion. We ran into two other beekeepers, but alas were out of luck as the most likely phone located just outside the Mobil station failed to ring at 5:01 EST. We are assuming the correct phone it is at the hotel nearby, but will be returning tomorrow with more beekeepers to stake out the mall phones just in case.

We will be heading out tomorrow also to hit the Dairy Queen/Sweet Tooth Shop phone in Brockton. Hopefully that one will be less vague.

I'm going to try the new Orlando Axon tomorrow. I'm working nearby, so I'll take a late lunch and hop over.

Good luck everyone!

Okay, 9:09 AM I didn't go this morning because it was my first day back to work from vacation. I see it didn't go hot today, so I'll be there in the morning.

17:35 Irvine, Ca... So Yanka and I found the right phone... But, it needed money to take an incomming call, and (like most of Irvine) there's lots of loud construction going on... And, well, I screwed up... So it could be any of those things... But it was probably me.

The good news is that there are two axons where, I know exactly where they are, I know exactly where to park, I know exactly where to go, and dagnabbit they'll be hot on Wed!

I've just searched for Philly/Philadelphia AXON information and haven't found anything, so here goes. I took some photos to help out anyone else who wants to try activating this axon, but I currently have no way to get them out of my camera and online. Oh well...

Apparently someone activated the old site (8th and Market) at 10:19AM EST. Good job on that.

Since I work outside the city, there was no way I could make it. Work in general was nuts yesterday and I didn't get a chance to look at Tuesday's update until the very end of the day, when I noticed the "On Time" AXON at 6:11PM EST was basically at City Hall.

I met up with a friend in the central quad of City Hall at around 5:50. Neither of us own GPS equipment, but I had printouts of the coordinates marked in MapQuest. The point is distinctly set in the SW corner of the quad, where there's a subway station entrance.

We checked out the ground level first, but didn't find any public phones in the area. Remembering what had happened at 8th and Market, we headed down the stairs.

Pretty much precisely where I expected to find it was a public phone. Unfortunately, it was out of order. A little further west, set *inside* the entrance to the station were four lovely, new public phones.

Luckily, both my friend and I have Transpasses, so it didn't cost us anything to go inside.

We stood by the phones at the appointed time, but nothing happened.

I have a distinct feeling the AXON was pointing at first phone we found -- the out of order one.

I might try this one again tonight if I can either get more specific information or it turns out we were looking in the wrong place.

I would recommend that some of the New York axons (preferably somne of the newer ones) be left alone, for two reasons:

1) In-game - It helps the Operator discover which crewmembers are where, and if some are stranded in a remote area and can't get to an axon to activate it, they're SOL when the rescue ship comes (if there is a rescue ship involved, that is).

2) Meta - Several people have speculated that the PMs want to find out where we live (or at least have a location relatively near, within a few miles).

Additionally, several Beekeepers are nowhere near any of the current axons (I'm one of them, I live in a little town in New York called West Shokan, and the closest axons are over 100 miles away, down in NYC - if I were a crewmember, I'd be stranded).

Well, if people answer all the axons in major population centres, that leaves us isolated Beekeepers out of the axon loop, as it were.

dude 06:33 PDT 41.15387 -81.3563 Kent Ohio is hot

same phone as last time, no buses or big trucks to make noise -- Standard Operating Procedure.

and -- is it me, or is lack of "real" meat a big issue here? First tuna, now "spiced lamb meatballs... with real meat" (a.k.a. kofta -- mmm, indian food).

Alright....

Axon 9:09 cute_little_caps hotted this morning. Its at the Block at Orange (a trendy outdoor mall), right hand phone right next to the Starbucks, for anyone who may need to activate it in another wave.

Shout outs to yanka and HitsHerMark, the All Female OC Axon crew. We'll hit the 17:35 one at UCI this afternoon (or does that count as evening?).
