Greetings again everyone.  This will be the main thread to keep track of the donation incentives offered for games at AGDQ 2015.  Everything here is pretty straight forward, but I'll go ahead and mention a few basic things:

1. I am in no way in charge of what incentives are approved or denied for any game.  My job is merely to keep a list of incentives offered so the staff can easily keep track and determine which incentives to include in the marathon.  Basically just because an incentive is offered does not guarantee that it will be included as part of the marathon.

2. If an incentive is already on the schedule in the comments section I will add that to this list as it goes, you will not need to pitch it again.  So check the schedule to see if an incentive is already approved.

3. Incentives can only be offered by the actual runner(s) of a game.  Please do not post incentive ideas for games you are not running.

4. Fairly obvious but if it is a race then all runners in the race need to agree to the incentive.

That's pretty much the only real rules to offering an incentive.  If you have donation incentives to offer for your game(s) please post up here with the following information:

Game Name:  Donation incentive (add at brief description if it's not obvious how  it changes the run) and how much time the incentive would add to your estimate.  If the donation incentive fits into the estimate (check the schedule, some estimates may have been trimmed slightly from your original proposal), then just note that there is no increase to the time estimate.

I will be keeping a list of every incentive offered in the order of the game schedule in this first post.  I will update the post regularly as incentives offers are made.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask me.  Keep in mind it may take a bit before staff has time to look at your incentive offers and see if they fit in the schedule.  Thanks and Good Luck with all your runs!

Thread title:  
Why walk when you can go fast?
The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

1. Character name:
There's a 31 character limit to the name, no time loss.

2. Character Race:
Will cost about 30-40 seconds since I'll have to do a backup to make the jump to Odrosal if I'm not Redguard. Races: Argonian, Breton, Redguard, Imperial, Orc, Dark Elf, High Elf, Wood Elf, Kahjiit, and Nord. I want to say that the beast races [Argonian and Kahjiit] have pretty funny walking animations at 5k speed. Also, there can be some epic meme name/race combos such as an Argonian named Cosmo, a Redguard named Chocolate Mangasm, or an Orc named Shrek.

3. Any% run after:
I highly suggest that this be done after the run. Takes about 5 minutes to complete. Current estimate is safe with this incentive.

4. Kill the False God Vivec [with a lockpick]:
Fans of the game will probably get this more than random viewers, so I'm not sure how strong this one is.  This only takes a couple seconds, not a big deal.

Animal Crossing

1) Player Name (Bid War) - Limited to 8 characters.

2) Player Gender (Bid War) - Male or Female.

3) Town Name (Bid War) - Limited to 8 characters.

4) Wrong Warp to Beta Map (Donation Incentive) - This is something I wanted to show off after the run.  There is a way to perform a wrong warp to the beta map in the game without any kind of cheat device or whatever, and would use a pre-made save file on a separate memory card.  It would take about 5 minutes to perform.  Here's a video of it as well:

~
Silent Hill
Good+ ending
Adds 2-3 minutes
No increase to the time estimate.

Completes a small sidequest that gives the good, "full" canon ending instead of the any% bad ending.
Super Metroid

Kill or Save the Animals. It doesn't take much time to save them so it wouldn't change the estimate and I think it could raise a good amount of money.
BroForce:
- Hard Mode. Enemies are more alert, and bosses are sped up (attacks/animations are drastically faster)
My feelings on The Demon Rush
AlbinoAlbatross:

1. Looks good.

2. That's a ton of choices but it can't hurt.

3. Yep, we agreed on this.

4. This could possibly be a small incentive.

Forstride: I'm not sure how many incentives we could do with Animal Crossing because it's a bonus game. Maybe the Wrong warp could be an extra incentive when the game meets its goal. I don't know how naming and other choice incentives would work logistically.

Tekkie, Epic, and Blood Thunder: Looks good.
Updated the first post with all incentives from the schedule spreadsheet as well as incentives offered to this point.
Sneak King. Have the king himself (we're gonna have somebody dressed up) do a level three flourish after the run (basically, have the king dance).
My feelings on The Demon Rush
I talked to Kefka about this in a PM and I approve of this, since the cosplay is game-related and it'll be something nice and funny for awful games.
Super monkey Ball Deluxe

1. Ultimate Mode(already on the schedule but wanted to put it here anyways) 300 levels of intense monkey in ball action(no monkeys were hurt in the running of this game)
You forgot to mention the donation incentive to play as Baby.

Metroid Prime has the bid war to use the Fusion/Regular Suit, sadly.
All the things
Radical Rex: Hard Mode. Not sure on time cost, but probably not more than 5 mins.
Jak II:
Language select (Donation war between the following):
- English (English)
- Français (French)
- Deutsch (German)
- Español (Spanish)
- Italiano (Italian)
- にほんご (Japanese)
- 한국어 (Korean
Shovel Knight:
-Bid war for saving the knights or leaving them behind
-Bid war for what Shovel Knight colour scheme to use (Could make a reference image with all of them)
-Maybe file name? It never shows up after the file select screen unless you die though.
Zelda II:

In addition to the glitched run incentive, JN says he can also do donations for filename. I can't, however, as an NG+ file necessitates a premade save. We're not totally sure if having 2 incentives for this game makes good sense, though, what do you think?
My feelings on The Demon Rush
Geoff and Miles: Sounds good. I love your enthusiasm for the Fusion suit, Miles.

Omni: I thought you haven't even completed hard yet.

Nitrofski: As we discussed on twitch, this is good. Does the game let you switch mid-game or just let you choose at the beginning?

Inzult: File name and glitched incentive is fine. If you think the file name would conflict too much with the glitched run it's not necessary, especially since Zelda 1 will have a file name incentive, AFAIK.
Dark Souls II

- Glitched Any% (on the schedule but was missed) This is also generally referred to as Broken % for very good reasons.
Haters gonna hate

I vote for Butt Mode.

Butt mode would be funny, but you wouldn't really see a whole lot unless I purposely didn't skip the intro and any conversations. Also, you can't combine multiple cheats, so then it wouldn't be possible to have the colour incentive.
For Jak II, you can switch language both before and during the game
ABHing into Mordor
Game: HL2:EP2.

A donation incentive could exist for a funny, alternate ending ("The Stretching Ending"). I don't want to spoil too much, but it's a pretty good must-see in comparison to the original ending.
For Rayman Legends, you could have a donation insensitive/bid war for one of the six music levels. As everybody loves those.
Totally Radical Awesome Game
Floating Runner could have character war between Lay (boy) and Cress (girl(cute))
I don't know how much money that will raise because literally what is Floating Runner, but I'm offering it up.
Metal Slug Advance has a character choice between Walter (the goofy guy) and Tyra (the serious girl).  No difference in time between the two.
