Oh my god, absolutely love the OP's picture. Definitely going to try to watch most of this. Not sure if my internet can maintain the stream : / but hopefully.

SynchTube just plays YouTube videos and synchronizes them for all viewers on the stream, so if you can play YouTube videos you can watch this. If it starts lagging, turn it down to 480p or something. Hope you can show up!

MARE-A-THON GOES LIVE IN 11 HOURS AND 36 MINUTES!

And I am dead on my feet. It's time to hit the hay for a few hours and do the final preparations tomorrow morning. See you all at the event!

IRC OPs given out in preparation for the Marathon, so IRC should be fine. If after the fact anyone has complaints about IRC moderation, PM me.

We should be golden though, this is going to be a hell of a lot of fun, thanks for organizing this cane!

Hi. I'm a friend of Aylear. He has asked me to relay this.
He has a powerout at his place atm and is unable to go online.
He is desperately trying to get online but if he can't he will try his best to get someone else to start the stream.

uh-oh....
Hopefully we can work around on this.

Why did he change the synchtube's password? this way we can't access it and start it without him t_t

That was extremely close to sucking.

So I woke up this morning not from the alarm I had set, but from some vague beeping off in the distance. It sounded strangely musical in nature, but I couldn't quite figure out why.

Then I came to.

And confusion turned to dread.

That beeping was my computer. And it only does that if it suffered a sudden loss of power.

Eyes now wide open, I reached up to the light above me and flicked the switch.

"FUCK YOU MURPHY!"

Today, of all days.

So for the past couple hours, I've been scrambling to get the word out. Power was out all over town. Phones had no internet connection. I even ran over to my cousin's place, hammered on the windows (no doorbell), and asked if she had a magic phone from the land of Oz that somehow had an internet connection!

Dead batteries.

"FUCK YOU, MURPHY!"

Eventually, I enlisted the help of my dear and wonderful friend Halvgud (holy shit, man, you're awesome for doing this for me despite me interrupting you in the fucking bathtub and I love you) to get the word out and, if necessary, give my account/passwords to a TLer who could start the whole thing in my place.

Fun fact: Halvgud didn't previously know I love MLP. He does know.

Fun fact #2: The power went out three minutes before my electric alarm clock had been set to ring, so I also woke up late.

Fun fact #3: The power outage ALSO happened in the middle of the Norwegian soccer championship.

Murphy can be a real bitch some times.

STREAM GOES LIVE IN AN HOUR!
(Actually, it goes up in thirty minutes so people can get in and get acquainted, but the actual episodes and stuff starts on the hour.)
