__________________________
As some of you may know, I play a lot of Overwatch on the PC. Mostly on the weekdays for at least two to three hours. A hearty helping, if you will. Iwaku is a huge community with a good handful of PC Overwatch players who have yet to connect with the rest of us to play a game or two. So while Diana readies the magic to improve Iwaku on August 28th, an Overwatch marathon will be taking place.
What will we do during the Marathon?
______________________________________
This marathon will be touching upon Custom Games and Quick Play depending on group size. If there are more than six participants (Including myself) in this event, I will assign one Iwaku member to host the second group and we'll switch to just playing Custom Games to fit us all. We'll have various moderators at hand as spectators and even players to make sure salt is kept at a minimum and that everyone is guaranteed to have a fun time.
Custom Games may range from 6v6 to challenges such as (maybe)D.Va golf, Hide and Seek, Clint Eastwood-Style McCree shootouts and going up against too many of one AI hero with no cool downs and 300% damage modifiers for fun. Suggestions are more than welcomed and are encouraged, as we have a bit over a week to plan this out in detail so that everything goes smoothly.
What if there's too many participants? Or too little?
________________________________________
We are anticipating at least 6-12 people, though since people tend to play Overwatch on console, it could be less. I will say this now, this will be a cross-site event, meaning some people from other sites will join us. Don't worry, they're my best friends and they're very funny and helpful. They'll treat you well.
In the event that there's more than 12, which would technically make 2 groups, we'll invite you in game as spectators until either someone leaves or someone wishes to switch places with you to take a break. I don't think we can manage to make three groups as that would mean one group will be constantly placed into spectators and we probably won't have enough "group leaders" to run them. So for now I'm settling for just two groups maximum. The rest joining will be invited by me to spectate until they can come in and kick some major butt.
Quickplay with 12 people might defeat the purpose as one group will be paired with random people. So I'll reserve quickplays for the event that this marathon has a low participant number.
What time will this be?
______________________________
This is where thing's get tricky. We're aware that some people could be in other servers or in different timezones. This is partially the reason why I'm making this thread: To organize a solid time so that everyone can join. Since this is falls on a Sunday, I'll be playing for at least most of the afternoon until 10PM PST. If a bunch of people can't make it during a certain time, tell me. We can organize multiple times to play. Maybe this could be done to rotate multiple groups, should they happen.
This sounds fun! How do I sign up?
____________________________________
First off, post your interest here! Give suggestions if you'd like, let me know you're in. Once you post here, I'll send you a PM to confirm things and to send you my Battle.net ID to friend you. If you want to volunteer to be an in-game moderator to make sure things run smoothly, be sure to mention that as well.
Correction: If there is a low participation rate (maximum of 6, minimum of 2 people playing), we'll be using the voice chat in the game. If it's more than 6, we'll be using the Iwaku Discord voice chat. If you wish to opt out of voice chat, it's totally fine. We just use it to better communicate with each other and tell others where an annoying Bastion is camping at.
*ALSO: This is pretty important. I am currently looking for people that have a good internet connection to stream this on twitch for all to enjoy. I would do this but my ATT internet plan is absolute crap and therefore it absolutely shuts down the moment I use any streaming site and Overwatch at the same time. You don't /have/ to do this, but it would be cool.
If I forgot anything, post and tell me. I'll be happy to answer questions~
