Hello speedfriends,

Volpe has put me in charge of organizing the second marathon for Generation Speedrun, and while he has collected a lot of information for it already, I'd like to restart the submission process for the sake of my own organization skills. If you have submitted in the past, please submit again. You'll notice a difference in the forms that will require a bit more information from you, and with this information, I'll be able to organize and talk about the schedule with other GSR members in a much more efficient manner.

The marathon will run from August 15th to August 17th. (Actual start and end times still in discussion)

Donations will be taken for a charity of our choosing. We'll update with the charity when we've decided on it.

The cutoff for submissions will be 07/23/14 at 11:59PM CST.

Submission Form: http://bombch.us/mEm

Response Form: http://bombch.us/mEn

On behalf of Generation Speedrun, thank you for your support! We love the speedrunning community, and want to do what we can to celebrate the growth this wonderful hobby has seen.

Thanks for the submission, Deuceler! I missed our first marathon as well, and I'm ecstatic to be a part of the planning process this time around.

Donation incentive for my urns
Nezumi Man:special stage
Psycho Waluigi: World 0 (might need to take this away if I had not unlocked and learned these levels)
Seedling: donation war between good and bad ending (bad ending is faster).

UPDATE: The cause that we've decided to support is Save the Children. Since Generation Speedrun has an international presence, we figured we'd try and find an international cause that we can all get behind. You can learn more about Save the Children here: http://www.savethechildren.org/

Turns out I've over estimated the time, for both of my submissions. Could you change the estimated times from 3:00:00 to 1:30:00 please?

That's "Mr." Speedrunner, to you

I submitted again, so you can remove my earlier spot(row 40) on the submission form.

Well, it looks like Whip and myself are late, even though I submitted Fallout 3 a while ago. I just resubmitted Fallout 3 because I saw this post, but I didn't read the cutoff date, my bad.

Anyway, I saw a schedule last night through an acquaintance, but I(and probably many others) don't have a schedule anymore. Can it be linked here, or will it be posted again soon in a whole new thread?
