Marathon Weekend (Closed until next marathon weekend)

[mith]

Based on the comments after the extended Marathon period, we're leaning toward an every-other-month Marathon weekend schedule, I think; probably the last weekend of odd months in general (though we may shift a bit in November to avoid Thanksgiving?)

Currently Marathon weekends happen two or three times a year, March (for IMM), late summer, and one around the winter holidays.

[Slaxx]

You'll probably want to avoid the winter holidays too, so I would shift it up to October. September/October is fine.

[Slaxx]

Oh derp, nevermind. You can just move it a week or two up in November, idk why I was in the mindset that they HAD to be at the end of every month.

[Thomith]

Probably better this way than a long marathon weekend where it activity dies after afew days. Hopefully i get to mod this time

[DonJosh]

I think this schedule works best.

Doing it in odd months makes it coincide with International Mafia Month, which is the source of the original Marathon Day.

Third weekend should work fine without running into major holidays. That would be:

• September 16-19, 2011
  
• November 18-21, 2011
  
• January 20-23, 2012
  
• March 16-19, 2012
  
• May 18-21, 2012
  
• July 20-23, 2012

This schedule looks perfect. I'm glad we have something regular now. The only problem there is that a lot of people might be studying for final exams during that weekend in May(not me, as I don't study usually, but I understand that most people do), maybe move that a weekend forward or back.

[Mr. Flay]

School cycles vary so much it would be almost impossible to have a date between mid-April and mid-June that didn't impact somewhere.

Also, not all of us are in school.

GRAAARGH

I will be camping this weekend.

Dammit!

(but the plan is good)

[Mr. Flay]

It's not actually this weekend - it's next weekend (22nd-26th).

[Xalxe]

This=the weekend referenced in the thread, though it just so happens I am camping both this weekend AND next weekend.

Damn my love of the outdoors!

[Amrun]

NEXT WEEKEND YAY I THINK I CAN DO DO THAT

[Nocmen]

I have a few really shitty setups to maybe run. Assuming I remember it's this weekend

[glowball]

@ To all thinking of modding!

I want to see more games besides Lucid Dreamers and Upicks! PLEASE!

Magic Train
Supersaint
Vengeful

lots of other set ups so that there is a nice variety, I'll probably try to run some but I want to be able to play also!

[Quilford]

I plan on running a crapload of Xylbot-generated setups.
