As funny as this sounds, I called and expected the mailbox to be full, but it wasn't, so the message I left had me sounding so nervous and confused I don't think I'll get a call back. I also offered to send her video of me dancing as proof of my loyalty.
Same here. I had my little spiel written out in advance, but I was so shocked not to hear "this mailbox is full; please try again later" that I just sorta stared at the sheet blankly for about five seconds. Then, once I realized what was going on, I raced through the whole thing about five times faster than normal talking speed.
You two as well, huh? It was 6:30 in the morning when I tried to call, no less. I forgot to mention Stormy Weather, and Hide and Seek, I think, but hopefully, I'll get on the list. *crosses fingers*

w00t! And I got listed as well, on http://www.ilovebees.com/recipe6.html .
For the record, I called, gave my name, rank (I said Lt. junior grade, but Jr. Lt. works for me). I rattled off her name, nickname, our ship, what we must seek, and who our enemy was.
I told her favorite song, and then listed one of mine "Bring Him Home" from Les Miserables, and sang two bars of it.
I also pledged to seek, behold, and reveal the truth, for that is the law, and the whole of the law.
Looks like it worked.

Mine worked as well, although she listed me as Earthstrike. (And yes I did mean to be Chaplain. SOMEONE has to pray for us.) I'm pretty lucky seeing as i got cut off in the middle of my "proof of loyalty". Whatever, I'm pretty happy though.

I was wondering about that. I thought, "what if the PMs *are* reading the forum, and Melissa starts handing out ranks? The ship's got to have a chaplain, and here are SuperJerms, thebruce, daboking, me and others entangled in a theology discussion. I think I'm safe: I'm Jewish. Surely she'd pick one of the Christians."
But since you've shouldered the responsibility, no fear.
Have fun.

Well, Artimus didn't happen to show up on this week's axons, so... I guess that isn't much to do for me. ;_; damn. Anyways, I hope that they misspelle d my name, or something, so that I can't recognize it, and I still get a call. Anyone see anything on the page that looks like it could me mine mispelled? Oh, well. No use staring for something that isn't there.

Does anyone know if there's going to be another: Call the voicemail if you can't reach any axons session?
This last one filled up before I had a chance to call.

I'm located in downtown Davis and I'd like to join the crew. I think the Davis axon is about a two minute bike ride from my apartment. Does anyone know if there's going to be any more incoming calls for it? And if you don't know, do you know how I could find out?

DarkForge does this spreadsheet every week. You can sort and find Davis's pay phone location. I think there is only one for Davis, but I also think it got a live call last week. As I recall, the pay phone is on recipe6 (Oct 12).

No problem. Also, maybe you could PM some of your potential teammates from last week's adventures.
Davis isn't in any axon coordination thread (they could use the SF one if they wanted to...please tell them that, if you would). Thanks.

So is it now impossible to join the crew if you can't reach an axon? I've tried calling Dana's voicemail several times since this started and it's been full every time. Is there any other way I can give Melissa my personal contact number? Just wanted to participate away from my computer, thanks.
And I've tried submitting an axon. I got one in but it's always been at an impossible time for me. Bad luck I guess.
Tried again and it worked. Thanks for the update on the status of the voicemail.

It's not full now! Damn I forgot to give my number. I know they're gonna laugh at me cause I sound nervous, but that's because I fell in a creek last week and my voice is sorta going. I had to strain to be heard.

I got through! I finally got through when the voicemail box wasn't full and I said a bunch of stuff (I don't see the need to post it until I find out if it worked), but my question is, how will I find out if I've been accepted as a crew member?

Check to see if you're on the live call list on friday.
