It's called Hyperbole. The point remains is that this event is being planned basically to match the first Extravaganza with the one added change of adding in donations. Adopting a few donation incentives that I got from http://www.thespeedgamers.com and extending the hours in order to create a friendly rivalry. Apparently I estimated wrong on how you would take the attempt at a friendly rivalry as several sources from RQTV seem to think this is a personal affront to them.

A few things to keep in mind here:
  • I was planning a followup event pretty much immediately after the first event.

  • I didn't go through with my original event 1 or 2 weeks after yours out of both respect for your event and common courtesy.

  • I've gone out of my way to allow a reasonable amount of time to pass between the events so that neither one would overshadow the other and all I've heard from RQTV are accusations of theft. No credit given to an event modeled after the first and using an extremely generic name. Including a certain someone posting on a smurf to yell at me.

  • If I wanted to rip off your model I probably could have done so and gained many more viewers from it off of the popularity of my original cast while counter programming your event at the same time.

  • Lastly and most importantly it's for CHARITY I have tried to reason this out with Abyss on MSN but all he keeps stating is that I'm wrong I won't admit it and then he blocked me. He seems to think that the idea of a Gaming Marathon for charity is unique and yet.


http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Gaming Marathon for charity

Many results... I'm curious to know how Ragequit even knows I'm planning an exact ripoff of their event when basically no details have been announced? I'm sorry but this whole thing just makes you guys look bad. I was planning on my own event at the time so I did not attend yours but I did not make any effort to undermine it as you have mine.

Ragequit.TV needs to break out the 50 hour marathon, that'll learn 'em.

Seriously, I see no problem with these guys trying to 1up each other though when the consequence is more money going to the charity.

Still definitely looking forward to helping this out, Child's Play is something I've been contributing to for a while and I hope we can get a ton of cash.

I'm gonna take a side-step, here, from all the dramallamalicious nonsense that's ended up in this thread and say all that really needed to be said by anyone:

"Yay! Another marathon event for the Child's Play charity! Woohoo!"

'kay? 'kay.


[[wall-of-text warning!!]]


Now. I'm probably gonna get grief from Abyss over this but, honestly, the whole "we did it first, no we did, no WE did, NO WE DID, RAAARSSSSSSSSSsssss...*BOOM!*" thing is so utterly pointless that I'ma stick a fork in it, 'cause it's freakin' DONE already! Hell, it's damn well burnt to a crisp, by now. Sure, Raelcun could at least've written out the name properly (*thppt* :-P") but it is the second Extravaganza and RQTV did use the first as a springboard for what ended up a seriously kick-ass marathon event. Beyond that? Who really cares? The kids got a SHEDLOAD of toys from it and THAT is what matters. Period.

Cool names and stuff aside (since I like both the "Extravaganza" and the "48HfM" ones! :-P): it's a gaming marathon for charity that means (in short) kids that are stuck in a hospital for stupid amounts of time have cool stuff to distract them from the bad things going on around and to them. THIS IS, WITHOUT EXCEPTION, A GOOD THING!

Screw the bitching, screw the back-and-forward bullshit. Seriously. It's childish and demeaning to the whole bloody point of ALL of the marathons (CHARITY!), regardless of who is doing or has done them and it doesn't freakin' matter whether it's the first, the third or the twenty-bazillionth event (though I expect if it was the twenty-bazillionth, we'd actually need that time-machine Diamond mentioned to manage the +1 hour one-ups. :-P).

And for what it's worth - just for the pedantic buggers amongst you and to cut off any more bickering about it (that I've seen elsewhere) - the event officially lasted 48 hours; it unofficially continued on to just over the 57 hour mark with Tofu and I (during which, people were directed to make their donations directly to Child's Play) before Tofu wussed out and fell asleep and I had to stop because there was no-one left that could be the 'screen.' :D So, officially, it was still only 48 hours. Stop arguing about it. Yes, I hung about in chat and such for at least another 20-odd hours and was up for a total of just over 90 hours, straight (no, I'm not kidding - no, I didn't have even a short nap, at any point - yes, my Insomnia Level is OVER 9000!! :-P) but that wasn't official marathon-time. :-P

Oh, and Raelcun's entirely correct about the "no caffeine (until the end, maybe)" thing. Caffeine will buzz you and you'll burn out, early, or end up really ill if you continue to force it (and aren't used to it). Experience talking. -_-

Yes, my topics are jumping all over the place.

Redstone circuits are fun.

Personally, I encourage the charity one-up-manship. If everyone could take a step back, deliberately take it as the good-sportedly tongue-in-cheek excuse that it should be and keep doing it to each other, we'd all be much less stressed (arguably), much more tired (definitely), many more good-hearted nerds (and their friends) would be out of pocket (tee hee!) and many more unfortunate kids would be happier with their new shinies. How is that not a good thing?

Exactly: it is a good thing.

So, quit being tardnerds, start word-of-mouthing this damn event, already, and count this overeager Scotsman as willing to join y'all on Skype, or whatever, in the hopes that you might all actually understand me when I get hyper (y'never know... stranger things have happened...). :-P"


(and damn y'all for making me wall-of-text on TL! RAAR! Where'd I hide that creeper.....)

Ah, these casts are the best. Especially when casters get really tired and they start to play random FFAs on shitty maps <3

For the record, this map won't be shitty. It is a top secret FFA map that I will not be revealing until the day of the cast.

Enjoyed the read.

I hope a lot of children benefit from this, because THAT is the point, not who has the most hours or most viewers or whatever you guys are arguing about.
Life is Good.

Myrathi said what I was gonna say but he said it better because when I read it it had a Scottish accent.

Also, I had work, and I'd been up all weekend. I didn't want to get fired

I'll be around for this and every other charity event I see pop up from the notables.

PS,
Diamond, please remember to contact ustream before the event starts so our overflow channel(s) can be set up properly.
Love,
tofu
