So I was looking at gdq and thinking it would be cool to attend but I live on the opposite side of the country and there are like no marathons here. Is there anyone in the Seattle area (or close) on here because it could be fun to set up a charity marathon type thing for this side of the country. Another realization I had while writing this is that if you were planning on going to future gdq events and seattle is more convenient you should also reply here. I dunno, could be fun.
I am planning on putting together a small live event (<25 people) in the Seattle/Oregon/BC area at my house or a small rented venue, depending on how many people would be interested in attending if I can get stationed there (born & lived in Seattle my whole life).
That'd be probably sometime in late 2016 though. I've budgeted it out and could probably spring a majority of the costs myself to make it easier for people to attend.
A rough plan would be to start on a Friday night, do some casual non-speedrunning probably multiplayer stuff for a little while so everyone can introduce/get to know each other for a little bit while everyone arrives, then speedruns and such for Sat/Sun.
I haven't really worked out the specific details though, since I don't plan on setting anything like that up for a while still.
Do we want to have a thread in the marathon section where we can submit games and such?
If we're all down to do this, we should set up a group on skype or something so we can all get toknow each other so the actual marathon wouldn't be awkward meetings lol
Hit me up on skype: "Doctor Scree"
Message me with your name on here and I'll add you and put us all in a group and stuff :)
