Marathon Weekend (Done)

Post Post #0 (ISO) » Sun Jan 15, 2017 11:41 am

Post by zoraster »

Time to start planning for the next Marathon Weekend! It'll run Friday, February 17th through Monday, February 20th.

Marathon Days are for games that are intended to be played in one sitting, usually 30 minutes to a couple of hours. Any user can run a marathon game during the Marathon Weekend: just start a thread for sign ups and start as you wish. Any player (who isn't banned) can play in a marathon game.

Hey I'll probably be able to play in this one since I'm still going to be out of work.

Marathon weekends are when marathon games, which typically last less than 24 hours, can be run.

Speaking of marathon games, will you be running Low Effort Mafia this time, zoraster?

Do we need to wait until the 17th to put games into sign-ups or can we make a thread in advance and then start the game on the 17th? I made a Marathon set-up thing last Marathon Weekend and never got to run it, so I have that game ready to go.
Also, when does the 17th begin? Which timezone are we going by?

Oh I just realised that's February 17th, not January. My questions still apply though.

The forum won't be open for new threads until Feb 17th, but you're welcome to take pre-ins if you want. However, most people just take sign ups during the Marathon Weekend time period itself because it's essential to have only players who are online at the time.

A very good question. I was sad that I wasn't able to last time due to the shut down.

I'm not though as it depends highly on what's happening that weekend.

Nice.

I need to remember to run a Conspiracy game and/or AITP, those are always fun and short. And possibly a crazy multifaction bastard game again like the 5 faction one.

I want to run a really fast version of dota mafia.

Are people gonna need to join the member group we created to have private topic access for marathons again. I can't remember if/how we handled it differently last time. You remember Zor?

Oh right I was out condo hunting back then so I didn't have time to authorize everyone. You were busy too so you just gave everyone access without them need to join the group

So we giving everyone access or we forcing people to join our group this time?

If people got to join our group you should explain to people how that's done.
