Possible Speedrunning Marathon Event

You could always be sassy and call it the "Notable Games Marathon", though that is a bit on the nose.

I think this is a pretty neat idea, personally. Catching anything live is usually rather difficult for me, but I'd definitely make an effort to try and tune in at some point. Heck, basically everything I run presently is rather under the radar.

I think it would be a neat idea. It's sort of sad that currently we can't accept every game that gets requested to the site, but hopefully that will change someday.

Hopefully to a point, even if the site becomes extremely lenient, then you still wouldn’t want to accept games like the ones in https://www.speedrun.com/platformer_game

Sweet, I've been waiting on more news for this. Already joined!

Can you try getting another link?

I kinda like this concept, but with the recent (seemingly random) turn of event where SRC just started accepting almost everything like: https://www.speedrun.com/among_us and: https://www.speedrun.com/mr._krabs_overdoses_on_ketamine I'm not too sure it would necessarily be necessary anymore.

@Sizzyl Those are two very popular games, so it's hardly indicative that src is accepting "almost everything". It's more likely they've introduced a popularity exception to the rules.

The only reason I am posting this is because I will have the most recent post in every forum.

I am interested in this. Is this event still a possibility?

I've had two games that were rejected in the past accepted onto the site, one of which I am the only runner for. It's not popularity, it's actually just less rules now.

@Hattok I don't know, the only discord link in this thread is invalid, and a lot of games are going to be accepted onto the site now.

@Merl_ Yeah, seems I was unduly pessimistic about the change. Would be nice if the rules were updated to reflect what's actually going to be accepted.
