My feelings on The Demon Rush

Nice job Ark! Not only does that mean I have to tell you I updated the schedule on the spreadsheet, but it also means any last minute changes to the schedule should be quick and easily noticeable.

oh yeah you'll have to let me know when you add the prizes column (if you do that) because i'll have to change some stuff in the code to accomodate it. beyond that, as long as the layout of the spreadsheet doesn't change it should be good to go.

Okay we have the PCF logo now. The only thing we need is a banner now.

Are you guys going to link this page on the main site? I think a permanent link would be nice.

wrote a cron job to auto-download the google spreadsheet every 5 minutes. that way there will be no delay when loading the schedule page, but of course any changes made to the spreadsheet will take 5 minutes to go live. can always decrease this time if necessary during the marathon.

logos should be coming soon, then the page will be ready for yall to link to as many people as possible.

If you're going to use the banner(s) from the other thread you could have them rotate each time the page gets loaded similar to the screen shots on game pages.

last year i rotated them every few seconds so you don't have to reload the page. i'm doing the same this year.

Haters gonna hate

Quick note: LttP should probably be taken off the highlighted races list as it's now iffy to happen. I'd suggest replacing it with OoT.

didn't even think to do that, thanks. added a simple thumbnail as well as a name and decription:

SDA presents Awesome Games Done Quick
Blazing through 100 video games over 4 days – for charity!

should show up fine on facebook.

edit: also added a like button to the main page. looks 45 people have liked it so far!

Actually good point, but -- Did any Quake guys KNOW / RESPOND / PLAN ON COMING to the marathon? I don't remember if we even discussed this... I'm sure it was, right guys???

Exoray

I think the starting times at the schedule should be a bit more accurate. As it is now they have a fault of +- 12 hours and I feel that's a tad bit too high.

If you didn't get it, this was my way of asking to include the time zone on the schedule page

Fucking Weeaboo

Given that the marathon is in Washington DC, it's obviously EST. Plus it's stated on the marathon webpage.

Plus Spreadsheets don't work as well for time adding when you try to stuff in text.

(Plus it's also on the banners, which is included on the schedule page itself. So no excuses.)

good idea. it was already specified on the main marathon page but i've also added it to the schedule page. there's no reason to actually put est beside every time on the schedule.
