My feelings on The Demon Rush
EDIT: Here's a web-published version that should be easier for people to view.

This post is for explaining the basics, and the second post is going to have the bonus game cuts and stuff that remains on the schedule that looks debatable.
I'm aware that this is not going to be a happy time for people, and I know that most people worked hard on their runs. At least 60-70 hours of the 90 hours cut is legitimate marathon material, but with a list full of such strong material, I couldn't let everything in. I don't like cutting all of this, but it has to be done.
People are probably curious about the method I used for round 2 cuts, and it's actually a new method I haven't used in previous marathons, and it actually worked quite well.
The Method
The people who I confer with and I submitted a list of cuts, and we went everyone's cuts and why they cut them, and whether we agreed or disagreed. This process took about 5 hours on the first day (and 2 hours on the followup day), but it was very thorough and we did a good job of covering nearly everything on the schedule and why it should or shoudln't be there.
Anyway, a lot of you probably want to see what's still on the schedule, so here you go.
I'm not going to go over the cuts and the reasons in this post because there's a separate tab for that. If you're too lazy to find the cuts tab then click here.
Some questions people might have:
Q: When will the schedule be made?
A: Either late September or early October. There's generally a couple of people who drop out during this month, and that might free up the schedule a bit, and even let me add some games I cut.
Q: Are bonus games games for the bonus stream?
A: No, they're games that can be donated into the schedule like SotN was this SGDQ.
Q: Speaking of games you cut, is there any chance that games that were cut second round will have a chance of making it back on the schedule?
A: Yes, I try to use stuff from the cuts tab first if there's a hole in the schedule.
Q: There's still a lot of races and/or runners for a particular game are all of those races and/or runners going to remain?
A: No, they're not all going to remain in the end, but I'm going to see who is most well-equipped to run said game, and whether there are people near said person's skill level.
Q: Are you still taking suggestions?
A: Unless if I specifically ask, no, and there's not a high chance I'll ask.
