Hey, Teague, thought of something: if you have some of the demos for your album finished or roughly finished before the marathon, playing them during one of the breaks would be great promotion.

Man, I'm going to have to set up a snipe for the ramen recipie!  I think Goblet of Fire is 5AM UK time.

For the next hour, everything in this post is strictly based on the available facts.

I'll definitely make the ramen, but times are subject to change.  We'll finalize later.

I'm not big in the highest bidder thing, simply because it'll only motivate the people who have more money to spare.  I see two obvious alternatives.  Set an amount to be raised by a certain time ( next fifteen minutes, end of the current movie, whatever)  if the goal is reached, the viewers are rewarded in some way ( Eddie posts a   link to his recipe, Teague eats a spoonful of cinnamon, again whatever).  For more individual rewards, make it so that everyone who donated within a certain time frame is entered into a raffle,  this way you can still reward higher  donaters by entering someone into the raffle over for every $5 they donate, that way the people who donate more would have a higher chance of winning, but the people who can't afford as much aren't completely out of the race, and would still have a chance to win a prize like one of Eddie's recipes,a song written for them by Teague, a FIYH  hoodie, whatever.

Just a thought, take it or leave it.

Mindcrack had thier 48 hour charity marathon last weekend, and they started by trying to do auctions (highest bidder) and it failed almost immediately. They moved over to almost the exact system Spork described and it seemed to work out the best for everyone involved, so I second that.

It's not like my recipes are worth their weight in gold, or anything.  If you donate in the next 5 minutes, you get it emailed to you.  Done.

Well, I mean, it doesn't have to be your recipes. Spork mentioned a couple ideas, but you could definitely do more gifty prizes. T-shirts, signed posters etc etc.

Re: The 200th Episode 24-Hour Harry Potter Commentary Marathon

You guys are crazy for doing these giant marathons! (hooray)

Sidenote: If my memory is correct, you guys recorded a commentary awhile ago for chamber of secrets that was lost. Just wanted to say, the livestream for that one made me laugh the hardest I had in a long time. And if you were there, you know why :3

And that's how Dorkman winds up saying he'll blow up his apartment if someone donates $1000.

And that's a joke only me and Spork are gonna get.

And then they'll need to convince someone to donate $2000  so they can turn back time.

Re: The 200th Episode 24-Hour Harry Potter Commentary Marathon

But first someone will have donated 1000 dollars to shut him up so they can get back to the commentary.

And then when someone does finally donate to turn back time he'll spend the rest of the marathon asking what their names were again every 30 seconds.


We should really stop this.

Drinking would be incompatible with my attempt to stay up for 24 hours. You'll have to make do with me being buzzed on caffeine.

Maybe I'll get hammered for the anniversary show or something since the world is crying out for my belligerent inebriation.

Well, without jinxing it, there is a solid chance I just lined up coffee sponsorship for the day.  More on that later.

Anyone who makes it all 24 hours with us should get a little Deathly Hallows badge.

I'm not saying they will, mind you, because I don't know how to do that. But they should.

Speaking of, why the HELL don't you have a ring Dorkman?

If he wants his ring, he can't be an admin.

Them's the breaks.

Extended Edition just made a little donation. We, meaning me, opted out of using the malaria donation page, as it doesn't accept paypal. Donations sent through the just sayin' button. A mention or logo would be nice at some point smile

Also, I just want to say for the record I had nothing to do with Holden's user title.
