As much as I can, I can during the weekend but during the final hours on Monday I won't be able to

I think tc would be too hard to make in 72 hours, I'm making a small 2 CP payload map

Most of it. Sleep would have to occur for me because I do have a presentation the following Monday, but I'd definitely watch at least 48 hours.

TC sounds great. Not sure if it'll turn out perfect or very well, but hell yes do it.

How many participants would you like to watch?
2-4

No limits

Hour 36? Doubtful if it'd be done by then, but of course at hour 72!

Would you be willing to donate a few pennies to:
Charity

Would you like to participate?
I'm sorry, I'll be unable to participate in this event.

Is there anything else you would like to add?
Do it for charity do it for charity do it for charity

Ok so we're looking at 2-4 participants for this marathon.

Nine, TPG, and cyked, seem most interested, but not with tc :(

If we each did a different gamemode how would people feel about that? obviously they'd need to be all large maps, so 5cp, pl, multi-stage cp, etc no koth arena or ctf.

I see this as a personal challenge rather than a competition between us, there is no "winner" at the end, which is why I'm personally happy with us each doing a different mode.

I like the idea of making this a charity event and drawing more viewers however all our livestreams are limited to 50 viewers still and I've tried to get mine verified multiple times with no sucess. A first event of smaller scale would certainly help get us some verified accounts.

If we get several TF2maps livestreams and every VIP is allowed to stream on them (provided no one else is streaming on one already) we can really quickly get enough well populated channels for them to be verified. Then once they're all verified we can run future events with much larger audiences.

Thoughts?

Since seba didn't understand I guess others might not too.
What I'm suggesting is we get several accounts on livestream, TF2Mapper1, TF2Mapper2 etc and use those between us now instead of our own personal ones. This way those four or five channels will be streamed to, and viewed more than each of our personal ones. Making them more likely to be verified - yay.

Once we have several verified channels, in any events like this we can simply give participants the access to one of the TF2maps livestream channels. This removes all worry of needing verified accounts before each event.
Also it makes finding out who is streaming much easier and makes you more likely to get viewers when you are streaming.
The only downside is the possibility of getting an idiot VIP who decides to stream something stupid.

If we had TF2Maps dedicated livestreams it might make things like detailing 101 work better.

Yep, it would be much easier to simply say "jump on livestream.com/tf2mapping01" at 9pm for xxx event

Gee, YM, thanks for making me look like an idiot :p

Would VIP LS accounts also require non-private email accounts, or would they use some member's information?

I'm pretty sure the owner of the channel can simply add accounts that are authorised to stream to it, how this works in detail though I haven't explored.

EDIT: just checked, yeah it's blindingly easy to add people to your channel. they don't need any kind of password other than their own I don't think. once they're added it should just show up in their procaster list of channels to stream to. win :D

Wow, didn't expect LS to be so cooperative. When shall we start using the VIP accounts?
