- Event Description -
RAGEQUIT.tv is announcing the "48 Hours for Minerals" cast. For 48 hours, starting on Friday, August 20th @ 4PM EDT RAGEQUIT.tv will begin streaming with Abyss and Sheekthief. Throughout the 48 hours, various casters will join and leave - but the stream will remain up (provided brief outages in case of camera switching).
Throughout this 48 hours, we will be casting various Starcraft 2 games, including show matches, tournament matches, interviews, and pretty much anything that the viewers want to see, or the players want to play. We will be attempting to cast any events that occur in an overlapping time, provided the event organizers let us. We will start out on the US server, but may switch over to the EU server during time zones that prefer it.
Now, some would ask why are we doing this? Charity of course! 48 Hours for Minerals is a fundraiser for Child's Play, a non-profit organization which has donated over 5 million dollars in toys, books, and games for kids in hospitals across the States and Europe. Throughout the entire event, we will be asking for donations towards Child's Play. A link to donate will be provided on our website, as well as a tracker of all the money donated so far.

Other casters have been invited and may join impromptu to hang out during the event. If you're a caster, feel free to contact us (information below) if you're interested in helping out.
- Contact us -
If you're interested in playing showmatches, or have something to cast, join our IRC (QuakeNet #ragequit.tv or webchat here) and tell us there. We will try to accept people/ideas that the viewers would enjoy to make it the most fun for them. If it is during the event, the above IRC is prefered since ustream's chat will probably be flooded.
- Additonal Information -
That's it, for now. This post will be expanded and updated as we fill in more details. Banner logo and link to donation page as well as info posted on our website will be added soon.

No interest in "one-up"ing him, in fact his cast inspired this. If you were there you might recall the discussion to do a similar event for charity. This is, in fact, my attempt at that.
I'm also trying to invite Raelcun to cast with us some time, since he inspired this - but he's bm and never responds on MSN, so I'll have to try again some other day 
Raelcun: If you're reading this, get a hold of me. You're also officially invited.

Wait, wait, wait. TheGunRun is asian? Anyways, sounds pretty awesome. You should get some KOTH in that 48 hours as well.
|
<3 wolf and all his scary self xD
|
I'm down to provide a camera or help out with the cast if need be. I was planning on doing another 4v4 iCCup Fun Stream on Friday night, but we will hold it off until next week. Child's Play is a great charity and I am definitely down to assist in any way that I can.
|
wow that's cool stuff
good luck running this!
|
I won't be able to participate until Saturday, but I'll hop on Skype or Vent or whatever to help out if you guys want. =)

I don't think the picture is actually him, but I don't know
JoshSuth, FuriousJodo, Raelcun: You guys should all jump into our IRC sometime (#ragequit.tv on QuakeNet) and get my MSN/AIM and hang out during the event. The help will definitely be appreciated, and those will be the main contact between streamers as we are figuring things out. We have 48 hours to cover, so I'm pretty sure there's going to be room for plenty of streamers.
To everyone:
Thanks to Eric from SC2Overseer, we have a new event idea. I will be starting a list of times for some key events throughout the cast starting today, the times will be filled in as things are final. Expect that later tonight.
Thanks for the support guys, I really appreciate it.
