Lord Of The Beards

Naegleria's thread got locked so I am remaking so discussion can actually happen for the event.

WHAT: A speedrun marathon with its primary goal being to promote speedrunning and fun. For the first marathon, it might be best if its done on a small scale (less than 50 people). Essentially it is going to be closer to an ESA style event compared to the charity driven GDQs.

WHERE: Chicago.

WHEN: May of 2016.

I made some forms to get info for the event about those interested:

Length of Meetup
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/13WY4bAYEU-0-pPe0xfwMzgzAoTNuxCKUetjz9vBebTc/viewform

Game Submissions now live
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1dNcrenGEbrx92Q3Yl8lXOSYqOtCbGzOagivHWCREl5M/viewform?c=0&w=1

I will probably keep this updated with any info but here is where the info will most likely be put first by the organizers.

So it's likely going to be the Hampton Inn Suites and Addison, but there is a small chance it's the Radisson Chicago O Hare.

Here is the gist:

Hampton has a 1430 Sq. ft meeting room at $700 per day with 24-hour access.
$500 per day for 7am to 10pm access. Hampton has an upload speed of up to 8 megabits per second up according to the hotel rep. But the meeting room doesn't have a dedicated internet, so thats a pretty significant downside.

Radisson has two meeting rooms, one is a big 1920 Sq. ft room that can be split into 640 Sq. ft section, two 640 Sq. ft sections is 1280 Sq. ft at $2000 per day at 24-hour access.
The other room is 1058 Sq. ft, I'm expecting a quote on that tomorrow. $2000 per day for the bigger room is pretty far out of the price range I want, so hopefully this second room is a lot cheaper. Both have dedicated internet.

3 full days at Hampton would be $2100, which is $35 split between 60 people. Alternatively we could get 5 or 6 days of 7am to 10pm access at $2500 or $3000 respectively (which would be $41.66 or $50 per person respectively).

Here are some pros cons of 24-hour:
+go play video games anytime of day
+viewers always have somethin to watch
-costs more

Here are some pros cons of non24-hour:
+lets everyone get a dedicated sleeping block, less chance of fucking up everyones sleep schedules
+nobody has to run "graveyard filler" timeslots
+cheaper
-video games have to be played in hotel room during night

What are everyones thoughts on doing 24/7 stream + meeting room, compared to 7 am to 10 pm stream + meeting room?
