Bert = Too Stronk
Hi everybody!
So I'm planning (with the help of Uyama of course) a marathon to help raise money for Love Without Boundaries to go hand in hand with my mom's unrelated event. The money is going towards supplies for adopted children (Formula, clothes, diapers, etc). But this isn't all they do of course, they also rescue and help support kids with surgeries if they need them, give them a care taker, build orphanages and much more. (Since in some places like China they can't fund orphans as much as they want to or need to)
Click on the link below for more information on who I'm trying to raise money for.
http://www.lovewithoutboundaries.com/goals-and-results/
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlFb8MZffyprdHdfUm96WU03ZGtJS0w0aVJNaVgwbXc#gid=0
^ this is the current games list for anyone who wants to take a look and see how its going. Its being updated every so often. NOTE this is not a schedule, that will be linked once its ready
I don't really have prizes to give away (unless people wish to donate prizes to the marathon) and I'm pretty much unsure what I'm doing (this is my first time ever attempting this). But I would like this to be successful to help my mom's campaign of raising money. I don't have a theme but I'm thinking of doing a typical weekend marathon (start at some point friday and end sunday night) Maybe a bonus stream kinda like the Sandython.
Anyone Interested please feel free to respond here and give a game(s) and some donation incentives if you have any in mind (We'll negotiate on those of course) and if people have any prizes they want to donate by all means feel free to make that known. I also could use the help of people who know the art of re-streaming (who are willing of course) and that know ome way to have commentary and donation readers. As well as people to just spread the word about this. And together we'll make a kick ass marathon. [Also even if you can't play in the marathon or don't want to you can still help! Help spread the word about this thread on places like Twitter and such. We never know who might be interested in joining!]
Thanks to everyone in advance who jump in on this action and thanks to Uyama for taking the time to help me out!
(UPDATE) SO guys with all the secret talkings I've had with Uyama and a few others I'm thinking my official date (For better or for worse, I'm not gonna back down from this date unless I'm truly forced to!) will be the last weekend of August meaning August 29th to September 1st and then a few days after for bonus stream. This should be a decent time to get stuff taken care of and give plenty of time for everyone to recover from the storm of marathon action going on.
(Quick Notice for anyone and everyone if you're interested in helping out in the background with things like re-streaming, commentary, donation comments, People who know about Mumble or something to make commentary work etc.) If you ARE interested let me know and give me a way to contact you outside of these forums as a just in case (something like skype or an inbox) so I have another way to reach you!
New Update 6-18-13: Ok so My mom gave me a "Starting Goal" of $500 to raise by the end of both marathon and bonus marathon (and obviously we can crush that easy) but she also wants to raise $5600 for a different goal that's still related to our causes. the $5600 will be going directly to an orphanage (I BELIEVE its the one that helped us get my new baby sister from China) I just wanted to let everyone know. I still need to figure out paypal stuff and where this will all be streamed. (Anyone with information like that please PM me here)
Update 7-8-13: SO Bonus marathon stuff. I'm gonna do things a bit differently. on the game list doc if your game is placed in the gray section AND your name is still next to it then its a bonus stream game and you will still be playing that game. The gray section will be bonus stream and who goes first (schedule can be figured out its not in that order shown on the doc). If its completely removed then it still has a chance to be played on the bonus stream. any questions please still feel free to ask me.
Update 7-19-13 SO as of right now I'm pretty much done with main games in the marathon anything recently added will be moved to the reserve list for bonus stream. i have like 2-3 games I have have to knock into bonus stream just due to being over with time. The Bonus stream reserve list will for the most part be in the order I have posted on the game doc, there will be a schedule soon but the official cut off date for bonus stream reserve list is my birthday: JULY 31st If anyone joins in/wants to join in after that. if we CAN fit you in we'll negotiate but if not i'll have a sign up sheet of some form for bonus stream (after reserves)
Quick Update 7-23-13: SO SSBMaster11 brought up a great question. during your run, if you want a hand cam or face cam or anything of the sort: GO for it! Its part of why I always stress adding up set up time to your total estimate. I want everyone to stream in a way they are comfortable with. I don't want to force a format upon someone.
Update 8-6-13: Ok So at some point I really need everyone's time zone so I can finish things up and finalize everything. Actually add to that times you're available and what days. that would ALSO help. Also Anyone who can Re-Stream, it would be very helpful to know if you can help out in that way since I was refused the time off for the marathon as of now.
Update 8-14-13: So I have (the rather late thanks to work) thursday's schedule (ROUGH DRAFT) up for viewing. if anyone listed here has a problem with where I put them let me know and I'll TRY to move it. Once again this is just for THURSDAY bleeding a tiny bit into friday (the rest will be added about a day at a time before completion). Also any details about if you want your games back to back or not or availability updates please let me know https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AlFb8MZffyprdDlycHppelZzREl1VVVQNXFtVEtkTkE#gid=0
8-22-13 Update- So the schedule has been updated to now cover up to the first 2 games of saturday meaning we're almost done with it! I'll have to then get the stream channel set up, the donation widget, Incentive $ numbers to meet per incentive (If anyone wants to help with that let me know also) and the re-streamer accounts and for the most part we should be all set to go! There are still some people who haven't posted their availability yet so I'm just going to continue with the schedule just to finalize it (in secret talks of course) As usual PM me if there is something that needs to be changed somehow, I'm trying to fine tune the schedule to fit what availability they posted. I hope you're all getting hype, I know I am.
8-24-13: Ok so the schedule should be finished in a little bit (19 games remain that aren't in the reserve list/bonus stream) Now depending on how everything goes and who responds with their availability or anything there may be a Last Minute Game cut. And I REALLY don't want to let it come down to that so lets hope for the best or everyone beating their estimate (which would be ridiculous, like SGDQ).
SHOULD there be a problem that I can't resolve, see if you can talk to other runners who are willing to trade a time slot or something and MAKE SURE either one of you or both of you tell me if you've traded time slots.
8-24-13 (7:47pm EST) THE SCHEDULE IS FINISHED (For the Most Part) I'm thinking Bonus Stream should be on the weekend due to school and crap. I'm for the most part terrified since it bleeds heavily into monday. I'm giving it a day then I'm gonna have to knock out a lot more games than I originally intended either into bonus stream weekend or just cut for good. once I make these final changes we're all set in stone since there isn't much time left. ANYONE ON MONDAY (If you cannot do it then PM ME Immediately and i'll place you on bonus stream weekend or if you wish to drop out in general)
8-24-13 (9:20PM) While I'm fixing everything bad that just happened and totally drop kicked the schedule in the face: Be sure to follow the twitch page I just made (and I'm currently working on while juggling the schedule!) for the marathon. http://www.twitch.tv/lwbathon
8-25-13: Ok so after tons of stressing with the schedule doing what it did yesterday, I'm gonna TRY to finish moving some people around (few stragglers left that need to be moved and 2 more people to add to main marathon). I'm cutting off schedule changes and whatnot on the 27th. Once it gets to that point and you need to change or anything you're probably going to need to bow out or go for bonus stream. I'm gonna TRY to fit to everyone's requested time but I can only do so much specially since this time frame isn't the best because I forgot about school starting up and things like that. Here's hoping I don't have to do a last minute game cut of any kind.
Edit: Ok some games are gonna be dropped, I apologize to anyone who did get a game dropped or pushed to bonus stream. if you want to swap out a game (like if a game was cut and you'd rather see the game cut/moved over the game that stayed) Make sure you tell me as soon as you can, cut off is still 27th
8-28-13 (1:10am) Ok dealing with all last minute changes then getting the donation widget set but the mumble information is:
tecslice.gotdns.com
port 64277
Be sure to accept the certificate of course and try to get this set up nice and early maybe even the day before just to get things up and running.
I'll pass it around more once the actual day goes. (as well as my helpers pass it on) well here's hoping this marathon kicks ass.
Quick Update: So the marathon was thrown into Labor Day also (which turns out LWB actually wanted me to do so its all good) also we do have an official first goal to meet which is only $5,000 (My parents' goal is to only raise $500 so that's the minimum).
ANOTHER Update: we have an IRC channel just in case if we need anything. its: #LWB-A-THON so join up there too. The schedule is pretty much done and won't be changed anymore so I can focus on the remaining loose ends. If there are any more people who can help restream please let me know before the marathon. starts.
We ARE pushing it back slightly (5:15pm instead of 6 to even everything out) so around 5 everything should be starting and being prepared. (the very last minute preperations.
Marathon Day Edit: Ok apparently I'm an idiot and should not ask the person next to me (irl) for help everything is apparently EDT (not EST) so everything is in EDT time. Thank you Zallard for making me realize this. ALSO check the google doc NOW I fixed any remaining errors. ALSO Spiderman is NOT in the marathon so just ignore it for now. (It will be removed in a bit/replaced with another game if someone has an hour long game they want in its place)
OK now be SURE you check your SDA PM's I have sent a massive PM with the stream info since I need to step away for a bit. (Unless Passive Bobomb sent you all one then please disregard mine since its probably just a double)
