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.

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.

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?

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.

They will, but I think last time we just opened it up and anyone could join.

What do you mean by other games? Games that are essentially mafia but use a different theme (e.g. Werewolf) belong here. But for general forum games, they should be played in Mish Mash.

Just a reminder that the marathon weekend will be open on the 17th through the 20th (inclusive). Start planning your games, clearing your schedule, etc.!

you likely have summer time/DST on.

See where you marked "yes" to summer time/dst is in effect. That should be no. As summer time/dst is not in effect.

Just as a reminder: you do not need to meet any experience requirements to mod a game for the marathon weekend.

I hope everyone had fun with this marathon weekend. I've shut off new threads, but the current ones should be able to finish their games.
