WHO THE FUCK ARE YOU?!

Hello everyone!


Girl from Undertale general here.


Thank you for the amazing Undertale speedrun and all the amazing work you did for AGDQ 2017!


You guys are very cool!!!

>>165635728
Thinking about all the LPs I could have finished instead of watching AGDQ like woah

>>165635867
missed the bus my dude
don't worry it's just another hour

>>165635672
>most, if not all
you can drop the "if not all" from that, dkc runners are children

>>165635847
seriously who the fuck are you? do you even speedrun? why are you starting a marathon?

>>165635907

>>165635728
GDQ proved itself once more that I have a weak will due to the fact that I'd rather have quick and cheap sense of commradee for a week over putting in effort to actually improve myself productively and find trustworthy friends, but ultimately realising that I will never have a life long connection with someone because I was too busy shitposting online and I'll die knowing 50% of my youth was wasted on hopeless seclusion and illusions of family.

>>165636086
How did you find this out?

>>165636103
he has the most viewers on twitch right now

>>165636103
when exactly did the speedrun bubble burst? I remember a couple of years ago when the top streamers were 10k people and then you had a bunch of runners with a thousand or two

does it make me gay if i would have sex unironically with 10/10 guys

>>165636103
how do you get a sub button?

>>165636125
On the bright side, we're going to have Virtual Reality when we get older so you can have fake family in your hopeless seclusion.

>>165635847
Please actually go through with this
the only other marathon that I would even want to go to is one being hosted by a friend locally

An /arg/ marathon sounds fun as fuck, especially since its close by

Last I checked, you need a certain amount of constant viewers and a consistent schedule. Orgs can get it pretty much instantly.

>>165636180
consistently stream with decent viewerbase (~500 people) for a month or two

>>165636125
wtf dude go out with someone and make some friendships

So what were the best runs of this AGDQ?

I heard these were good, but I haven't seen them:
>Vice City

I'm glad marathon shitters are finally gone

>>165636180
it's at twitch's discretion
you apply and they see how many viewers you have and how often you have them
if you're profitable, they'll make you a "twitch partner"
partner in name only, you're not even an employee, you make them money and they compensate you

>>165636291
Theres more to it than that.

If you're volatile they wont sub to you because it harms the twitch brand.

Swearing is ok, but if you fly off the handle you will never get a sub button.

>>165636180
stream whatever stupid game twitch staff is into, like destiny

>>165635847

Alright at least you recovered.

Now let's start thinking of things you're gonna need. Everyone else add in stuff too.

-TVs
-Vidya/consoles/controllers
-Powerstrips and cables
-A projecter
-functional mics
-speakers
-chairs
-Speedrunners
-People to function as MCs
-A way to collect and keep track of donations
-Streaming equipment
-Sound equipment
-People that can keep the above two functioning
-A venue
-A code of conduct (since you don't want some edgelord shouting "NIGGER!!!" every 5 seconds thinking he's being clever).
-insurance(?)

>>165636320
adam's family was decent

>>165636157
viewers are obviously low here because GDQ was going on this whole time. everybody has like 30% of their normal amount during the event

>>165636320

Despite the retarded category, Ori was pretty fun.

>>165636291
You can get one with 100-150 regular viewers especially if you make nice with twitch staff

>>165636320

For me, personally, the only runs I enjoyed:

>System Shock 2 (the best)
>Vice City
>Undertale
>Dark Messiah of Might and Magic
>one more I can't remember at the moment
>Descent II (because the runner got a blowjob and came inside a girl's mouth under the table)

Is PCF really shady? Why PCF in the first place, was a voting held I wasn't aware of?

>>165636390
expanding on venue, make sure they have DEDICATED ethernet lines in the venue if it's not out of your house. Shared hotel internet ends up being streamed on someone's 4G

>>165636570
What? Didn't you see that webm? You could see it on his face and hear the girl's voice after she swallowed it.

>>165636615
Because Mike gets a larger cut from PCF than he would from other charities

>>165636567
un-fucking-real

>>165636125

I am in a similar boat. However for me its not that I have troubles making friends its just that I reached a point where I don't want to hangout/date with normies anymore. Engaging with someone who isn't into nerd culture is just boring to me.

>>165636615
no one voted for it. staff picked it because PCF gives the best kickbacks so Mike, Cool Matty, UA, and others could live off of organizing 2 events a year.

>>165636390
>donations

wait a minute, our marathon is going to be a money laundering scheme too?

imagine if some tranny freak decided he didn't want to live in Trump's America so he actually jumped in front of the shuttle bus

>>165636682
I can't find friends like that either.

>>165636615
It's not shady at all, it's just not particularly selfless either. A good chunk of its income goes to sustain itself, more than in other comparable charities.
And going by donation messages most donators seem to be under the impression donating to PCF is a step towards curing cancer when in reality PCF only gives like 15% of its income to fund research and the majority of the money goes to outreach and awareness programs.

>>165636615
they had a "vote" for this agdq's charity but pcf "won" because it gave them the most money to "fund the marathon"

I've worked in TV as a camera/board operator before, so I kinda know what we're doing, at least for getting the audio and video feed to where it needs to go. I also know how to use OBS (not well, but I'll learn). I'm not really sure on the hardware between console and board, though, so if someone could get me caught up on that, it'd be great. Getting the consoles won't be a problem, btw, but hopefully the players will actually own the cart they're playing on.

We're going with an actual legit charity. So the money isn't going all to kickbacks and bullshit.

I'm assuming this Hesh faggot would only get enough money to reimburse him for whatever he spends. Everything else goes to charity.

>>165636861
Actually this seems perfectly right.

how incompetent do you have to be

how come nobody bats an eye when everyone says "lets kill the animals because its great!"
but when someone makes a "go kill yourself" joke everyone blows up and gets super offended?

>>165636945
What the fuck is it with you speedrun organizers and donating to fucking charities

NOTHING you donate will matter
You will contribute .000000000001% of all assets they recieve, you will be throwing your money into a goddamn black hole

Use the money (if youre even asking for any) to improve the event, better venues, better equipment, advertising, and more

Fuck you bleeding heart niggers

nobody donates to just "give us money lol"

>>165637021

I did, even if it did kill my productivity on my own projects.

>>165637072

You do realize this potential marathon was only conceived as a reaction to GDQ's ban-happy policies, right? This is supposed to be a less-shady knockoff of it.

>>165637125
>video game
>running gag

that still doesnt justify it though. the phrase itself is pretty offensive even if its suppose to be video game related since not everyone is in on that joke.

Woah, hang on, let me explain: This all started as a way to give people who are kind of sick of GDQ's silly and rampant PC policies a place to watch runs. That's why we were going to use the ACLU as the charity we'd donate to, as a sort of freedom-of-speech angle.

If the charity thing doesn't work out then it's for profit. It's not even a big deal. I care more about getting an event together than where the money goes. I make enough of it day to day.

>>165637273
actually it does justify that and they fill in the people on the bidding war every other hour or so

nevermind the fact that it should be pretty that it's video game related since fucking every donation incentive in this marathon is
nobody head this and thought "wow they want to slaughter real animals for fun"

I'm not that anon, but I like hanging out with people, but I don't like putting effort into conversations. I'm a lazy fucktard that wants the emotional connections without having to put in effort.

Honestly, the ideal setup for me would be me and a few other anons hanging out in a room silently shitposting on our laptops, only making conversation if we felt like it. I just like to enjoy other people's company.

>>165637302
I cry about not having friends sometimes. Not just friends, connections in general. I have no ability to connect with someone because I'm afraid of commitment and hate myself due to how much of a failure I am.

Is this for real?

the CURE for mentally ill tranny FREAKS is 357ccs of LEAD injected DIRECTLY INTO THE BRAIN

>agdq starts
>amoebaposting stop

lol?

ok here's a hot idea for that speed event.

spend a couple days doing a mystery tournament and have chat donate for what games to be played for matches. all donations go into the prize pool not to some shitty charity. event takes a piece of the pot to pay for the event and the rest goes out as prizes.

so basically youre saying it will be ok if there was a Resident Evil 5 run where there is a donation incentive to kill all the zombies but they call it "kill all niggers". its video game related, not real people, right? so it must be ok.

>>165637618

>>165637863
yeah he told him off in the video

If GDQ staff doesn't pay for runners at the next event, shit will go down. I will personally start a campaign to get runners a $500 stipend for travel and hotel. If they do not comply, I will take the issue to the fake news outlets and have them run with the story.

There is no reason why GDQ staff can collect over $70k from ticket sales, $175k from the charity, and $50k from ad revenue, and god knows how much from sponsors and contracts with twitch, and not reimburse the runners. If there are no runners then there is no event. Pay up Mike or you will lose your event.

Before writing AFK off, shoot them an email or give them a call
Nothing will happen from just speculation

I also urge you to fully commit to getting this thing off the ground, if you dont have 100% drive to do this then it will never happen

Start early, find runners, lock down a venue, be the event host you want to be. Talking to that guy who hosts the calithon might be a good idea.

Consider setting up a mailing list/discord/something so people dont forget you exist

Im sure some of the bigger name runners get some dosh under the table. Guys like Zoast probably profit a bit.

To pay everyones expenses would be great because it would encourage better runners. Its not like they cant afford it, they made tons of money this year from fuccbois from germany.

there are 150 runners on average. and 50 staff. so 200 people total. if they gave them all $500 that is only $100,000.

They cap attendance at 1600 including runners. So the max is 1400 attendees. You should never assume max attendance when budgeting, so assume 1000 people. Charge them $100 for the week and that alone pays for the runners. Charge them $75 and that plus the money from ads pays for them. Charge $50 and stop being shit and get real sponsors and that pays for the runners.

The $500 stipend is VERY doable. If GDQ staff doesn't do it, it might be time the runners stood up against the GDQ staff and refuse to do their runs they get in.

no, they go there to hang out and do shit with each other.

It might be too timely, anyway. We also have the option of my work place, although I'm not sure my company would particularly enjoy hosting an event like this.

Sooo...my apartment currently sounds like the best idea. Keep the costs as low as possible. Spend more money on booze and parts and use whatever donation money we get to pay speed runners. Make the event from 7 pm to 3 am. Make it a monthly event instead of one big thing.

Quarterly would be the most often I'd recommend it be to be honest.

Part of the magic of GDQ is that it only happens twice a year. Making it monthly would make it more likely for people to get disinterested imo.

What's also nice is that since you're in Cali, you can make the first few mostly local people, which would also keep costs low (so less would need to go for travel reimbursement.)

Only they're not progressive in the same way, which is threatening.

Runners should be compensated.

Events should have a much higher production value than they are.

Events should be way more fun and entertaining than they are.

Also why does this fuccboi care, is he worried you're treading on his territory when California is a fucking huge state?

>>165639147
yeah sounds like he just doesn't want to pay anyone.
Frankly, if these events get sponsors, that means money which means compensation to the entertainers. Maybe not pay, but free venue/lodging/travel is a start.
Though if this happens, you'd need to set a criteria of who can run and who can't because you'll get shitloads of tryhards who want to get in just for money.

>>165639147
runners don't get compensated because they have been trained to give all their money to mike uyama. dont worry though. now that speedrunning is mainstream with the $2m this year, along with esport teams picking up people like trihex and striker, runners will soon start negotiating their own appearance fees. so you should definitely be prepared for that if you want to get some of the big names to attend your event.

They've proved they don't need "big names" at their event time and time again. GDQ is self-sustaining now, people just tune in because it's GDQ.

https://tools.furious.pro/gdq/submissions

Here's all the submission for this event, see how many were rejected? Lots of runners could pull out and easily be replaced.

>>165639324
What risk is there?

Seriously. Events -always- compensate people for their time.

If you want the best, you have to pony up the cash. So many presidents do talks and they are highly compensated for their time. Rarely do they do it for free.

If you let anyone do it, then they're doing it for tertiary compensation. Something not tangible like cash, but things like
>advertising
>networking
>exposure

Cash is always king. If you wanted to get some big name speedrunners there, the easiest way would be to throw down some serious cash.

You offer Cosmo 20 grand, you could probably get him to come to an event and speedrun WW or OoT.

>>165639435
It's not. You really think any of these random fuckbois running meme games for 50 viewers would ever reach the exposure something like AGDQ provides by themselves?
They get compensated plenty.

>>165639512
I'll give you an esample: MrLlama. I followed him after his first diablo 2 run and I was one of a few thousand followers he got over the course of the marathon. He got another boost in his second run.

I know it wasn't perfect, and we've got plenty to work on. I think those following my posts here have an idea of what to expect in the future. But regardless, so many of you have been fantastic supporters of the event and I just wanted to give my thanks for helping us get to a new WR!
For those wanting more, obviously there's another SGDQ coming soon, but we're definitely bringing back the GDQ Hotfix. We're also talking with runners and the game communities on other streams we can do to maybe help a whole new generation of runners get into speedrunning.
But for now, it's time to pack up and decompress.
Here's to many more world records!
(For those curious wtf happened with the ending video, we couldn't hear the audio at the mixer and assumed no one could hear. Really it's because the video was not set to go to the mixer, and instead went straight to the stream. Woo.)

They don't need the best.
And Cosmo isn't worth 20 grand anymore, and I highly doubt he ever was.
The vast majority of the people watching and donating are casual viewers, they don't follow the speedrun scene. They don't tune in for streamers, they tune in for games.
You're beyond delusional if you think any "big name speedrunner" (if there even is anyone left at this point) is worth any payment - simply because they don't generate significantly more than random runner who is as good or better at the game #34874.

How exactly are you going to compensate runners? How do you determine who gets what amount of money?

Obviously ObscureRunner93 running no-name NES game isn't going to be paid the same amount as a Super Metroid runner. How do you keep it fair?

Its easy to cry about a glaring problem but what are the solutions?

>>165639641

You have no idea how to run events like this.

Take UFC as an example. You can build someone up with hype and marketing. Look at Rhona Rousey. She's a fucking joke of a fighter. Anyone who fights knew it. She won all of her matches in the first round with submission holds.

She was trumped up to be the best, and it fucking worked. It sold tickets. It sold pay per views. People came to see it. Even though she got totally washed up after Holly Holm broke her spirit, she came back and still got paid 3 million to get her ass kicked by the dyke with the lion mask.

20 Grand out of whatever millions they got is small potatoes. You -can- hype it up. "The Return of Cosmo" Windwaker or OoT next AGDQ.

You can build storylines around people.

Face the facts, the GDQ's are just shitty events that don't realize they're shitty.

You get GGGs like Heshy boy here who run events and actually compensate their runners. The events will multiply, and big names will go where the dosh is, which will bring in the views, which will bring in even more cash.

Hell, all this talk is making ME want to start up an event too. Maybe in a couple years when I have the money (I live in a small shitty studio so I obviously can't host people here).

We're gonna change landscape of speedrunning, anons. And we can all look back at how it all started as shitposting in a /vg/ thread.

You can offer a percentage of total donations.

0.05% of 1.2 mllion is still 6 grand. That's worth it for a lot of people.

Baseline is to cover all travel costs. If SpeedyMcNoname comes all the way from Romania, he's obviously gonna get more reimbursement than JoeShmo who lives down the street.

After that, if, say, 10% of the donations are going to the runners, then it'll be divvied up by some algorithm that controls for views, time spent playing, and money donated while they were playing. Everyone deserves money, but paying a 1hr run of a single game should get you less money that 5hrs of 3 games.

>>165640040
see I like that idea but the problem becomes how/who one determines who's a big/small runner.

Like I said, you're fucking delusional. You're completely missing the appeal of these speedrun marathons and the type of people who watch them.

Nobody fucking knows who Cosmo is. Cosmo in his heyday has a couple hundred subs. His average resetfest streams had maybe 10k viewers, only rising significantly higher when he was late in a run and a bunch of casuals just tuned in to see what the fuzz was about.
Nobody is going to tune in (and more importantly, fork over money) to see "the return of the king".


Hell you can look at the fucking viewers numbers right now. The GDQs feature less and less "high profile" runners, that is people with a significant twitch following by themselves, every year - yet the views and donations keep rising.

People tune in for games, not runners. People tune in for nostalgia and "to see their childhood destroyed", not to see the actually best speedrun in this category at this moment. People donate to feel good about themselves and help a good cause, not to fund individuals.

As much as he sounds like a dickhead and I hate Uyama and GDQ, he's absolutely right. Look at all of the questions and poorly constructed, delusional scenarios in the last 30 or so posts.

>i want to speak to you professionaly
>your ideas are shit and this wont amount to anything
top fucking kek

>>165640275
but then I don't get all of the speedrun drama

ya'll are gonna be behind the curve when Narcissa comes to SGDQ and the drama train blows up.

>>165640358
He has a point. You're either a professional venture or you're a fun gettogether. You can't have both.

Lend one of your friends a significant amount of money to see what these blurred lines lead to.

If it's just some bros hanging out, yeah, no need to pay.

But if it's a full-on event with donations (beyond just the small paying Hesh back for the venue-type stuff), people better be getting paid. Just have a method to divvy up income based on what they do in the run and how long and we're good. With MAYBE a discussed bonus if they're a big name.

But always work in percentages. That way it scales with what the event makes and everyone wins.

>/srg/ honestly thinks incentivising nothing but the longest, most popular games for speedrunning is a good idea

Im starting to think Jewyama was right afterall.

I think this guy has the right idea
My only insight into this is that there is no need to pay runners anything if the event itsself is not asking for donations, but the moment that any money is being donated, then the first place it should go to covering lodging and travel.

Fuck getting hung up on money though, we should be talking about other logistics

I don't think it's mutually exclusive to have a comfy, fun stream and something that pays. For example, we have Daigo Umehara's stream, which has something like 40k viewers regularly - and their last episode was street fighter players singing karaoke.

There are things to think about, things to work through, but I'm confident that things will at least not get me stabbed, and that's good enough for me

Ok this is how you do it.

You do the event with races only. 1v1 2v2 4 way etc. You announce the races month ahead of time. You promote the runners. You create buzz around them. You solicit donations the whole month as well as during the event. You sell merch. All money made goes into a prize purse for each match. When the event happens you give the winner of the races a Belt and offer them to come back next event to defend their championship.

The winners of each race get a 75% cut from the prize purse and the loser gets 25%. The TO takes a clean 20% off the top before split. Both runners get publicity to grown their own brands and stuff.

There you have it. Pure cancer speedrun style.

>he thinks his fun casual streamers featuring people getting paid to be there are not everyone putting on an act

lmao

>>165640709
TheBeastTV is a brand and infinitely more popular than any non GDQ brand will ever be. Awful comparison.

If you're going to put money into speedgamers, it should just be a flat payment to help towards travel costs, anything else invites disaster. I always though it'd be interesting to run an event without a charity incentive at all, and just have the donations put directly into the event, with anything in excess be decided later on, removing the pan handling jewishness of the whole thing

>>165640803
>with anything in excess be decided later on,

OH NOW THATS A GREAT IDEA ANON
CANT SEE ANY POTENTIAL PROBLEMS THERE

Why does tripfag even want another speedrun marathon, remember NASA? This shit's pretty disastrous without proper production. Remember the fucking internet at NASA?

>>165640803
I think that a prize pool, like what this anon >>165640753 here suggests, could work beyond travel costs.

>>165640709
How old are you bro? Because in all these posts there is a ton of optimism, inexperience and an absolute lack of critical thought.

This is the speedrunner's version of "I want to be a doctor because I like helping people"

>>165640709
I think just compensating runners for travel and living expenses is enough. Any money above that can go to charity.

>>165640841
this happens after every gdq, nothing ever comes of it

nasa wasn't so bad apart from a few overlong boring runs and issues beyond naeg's control

> ITT abyssimal autist
Lmao seriously the guy talking too much handled the situation like a real human being (as opposed to autist out here) and cosmo while being a little bitch did surprisingly well in manifesting the fact that he thought mirror talked to much. Why the fuck did this shit turn into drama ? Seems like he was doing insightful commentary not like that faggo chibbi (?) in the "I would prefer you'd be quiet" run

>>165640835
Well of course it can turn into an absolute kike masterclass, that's why you keep everything 100% transparent from the start. Set the precedent and then nobody can complain.

My money mostly sits around and gets spent on anime figs. I'd much rather have it go towards people who make a cool product. I don't expect to make a profit. Just wanted an event that the people who are fed up with GDQ's bullshit would enjoy.

>>165640803
Then if you're the director, why not just pick runners from like ~1 state from your event because its the cheapest this way??

People don't come to watch the best speed runners or the highest quality speedruns.
