Thursday, August 7th, 9PM EDT until Monday, August 11th, 9PM EDT.
Schedule: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ag_qt4j1p5JCdE15c2JmUkJnY2pYYTRvN3dOT3lyNFE
Channel: http://www.twitch.tv/seamergency
96 Hours of Speedruns and Art Requests streamed to raise money for WildAid's shark program on August 7th-11th! This is gonna be our fourth year doing online marathons for sharks (in the past for Shark Savers, but they have recently merged with WildAid, you can see an article about last year's here: http://www.sharksavers.org/en/blogs-news/community-voice/seamergency-a-96-hour-fundraising-marathon-to-benefit-shark-and-manta-conservation/).
I archived 2012 along with the art streams here if you want an idea of what it was like: https://www.youtube.com/user/SharkStreams/videos and you can check out previous art requests that have been done in the gallery here: http://sharkstream.thatquestsite.org/art/index.php/
Money will be going directly to WildAid's paypal, and all money raised during the event will go toward shark programs. We plan on using the SDA marathon tracker this year (Going to apply for hosting in the thread once a schedule is hashed out but we'll figure out how to host it ourselves if need be.)
We are super open to suggestions, and have some changes planned to make the stream smoother for 2014.
How we've done it in the past is just throwing up everything on a site (http://sharks.thatquestsite.org/) but it's pretty clear a lot of people value being able to just go to a twitch page and get the whole experience, so our game-plan this year would be to have restreamers that will also check up on the art streams between games (and possibly show them on the side of the stream during 4:3 games?), with all streams still being available on the site for people who do want to watch that way. As far as I can see the easiest way to accomplish this is having all the individual streams on Hitbox.tv and restreaming them on the Seamergency channel on Twitch but we're open to suggestions. The reason for using Hitbox is since this is an online marathon we really want to keep the delay for people trying to commentate on the game as low as possible.
We would like to keep things clean for the most part, both with art requests and language, but later into the night for U.S. will be more lax for language. We'll be using Mumble for talking.
Sign-up form for speedruns is here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1XJB4BL5HHZXUWUclhCeAHE298nZbJutOODvAP-tZst0/viewform?usp=send_form
Edit: You can submit as many games as you want by re-using the form
Feel free to ask any questions or give any suggestions!
