With recent talk of ESA and SGDQ and everyone practicing marathon type runs, I thought of an idea. An idea that may or may not have been done or is being done now.

But anyway. I want to try and do a marathon. But not a marathon for charity, as that will be done later if this works out well. But like a 24/7 marathon that can be done by different runners of different games. I want it to be done in a way so that unknown runners can get noticed and unknown speed games can be noticed as well. Scheduling would be made so that it could fit for runners and viewers of different time zones as best as it can be. And any games and categories would be fine, but really long runs would be on certain days like the weekend or something. But every so often there would be events for certain runs and games. As for how it will be streamed, I was thinking of just letting the current runner use the stream key for the twitch channel in whatever they use to stream. I got the idea from what Globe_Runners did for their marathon. I would like to believe that everyone will be responsible and adult about it, but the stream key will be reset after a while though to be safe. I might make a few requirements to stream on the channel as well.

So with all that said, anyone that wants to help and/or run in the marathon are welcome to. Please feel free to respond here or message me on Twitch. I would like a few people to help me with running the channel as well and a youtube and twitter account if wanted.

Thanks in advance.

My fellow poor men (and women Kappa ). We are not blessed with the funds to have the greatest in streaming technology. We do not have the means to properly stream the games we want from our consoles because it's a pain when our computers struggle with PC games. We do not want world record from our runs, just decent times. We want to give a good streaming experience to viewers and non-viewers alike just like our fellow speedrunners with slightly better specs than us. So I say that we should form a group. A group of low-spec runners. We will help each other improve our streaming ways over time. We will teach others how to get by as a follow low-spec. We will use our webcams to stream our consoles. We will show those high-spec runners that we are not intimidated by their massive bit-rates and HD abilities. So join the cause of being a low-spec runner as we all share the same goal. To beat a game really really fast!

Hey there, I'm Crescentflame. I'm on and off with my speedrunning and the game that I run is Dynamite Cop on my Dreamcast emulator. Due to that, I sometimes get a bit of laaaaaaaaaaaaag in a run or two. But it's still fun for me either way.
