Speedrunning general, /vg/'s speedrunning community, is hosting its second speedrunning marathon. This marathon was conceived to raise money for speedrunners who are a part of our community to get to SGDQ and ESA in July; we had a practice marathon a month ago that some of you may have caught, and it went quite well (ignoring the fact that it was a trainwreck). We're all very excited to do it again, and so I thought I'd share it here.
As it stands, our donation goal is sitting at $1,200; depending on whether or not other runners involved in the marathon need money, it might go up to $1,500. All of the excess money - should we raise any - will be donated to SGDQ's charity of choice when the marathon rolls around.

(This topic isn't mean to recruit any runners for the marathon, as that process took place a month ago, and filling the time that we've scheduled is our first priority; just spreading the news.)

The marathon is taking place from May 31st to June 3rd, and it looks like we'll have a bonus stream as well. Link to the schedule and the Twitch page below:

My feelings on The Demon Rush
My only question is why are the setup blocks only 10 minutes? That seems like an awfully small amount of time in case if something goes wrong.

Agreed, I'll bring it up with Skeleton 'literally hitler' Bill on the irc and see what he thinks Wink

Well during the test marathon we had no setup times and everyone undershot their predictions and we had tons of down time anyway.

Would a better setup be to have longer setup blocks and backup runs in case we don't need it?

Either that or just have a list of bonus games/incentives to do if there is down time in between games.

Our donation incentives are pretty tame, but we do have a list of backup runs in case something goes long or short.

In other news, the public schedule is finished; add it to the OP.
