DEEP STATE PLOT posted:mostly setup taking a lot longer than expected Shoenin posted:Someone went horrifically overschedule (the guy running pokemon emerald went over pretty bad and then still did stuff after anyway) and some games were dropped voluntarily, and uhh stuff I guess not sure myself either. That sucks! And also Vermain posted:in this specific case, the runner in question voluntarily dropped his bloodstained run in order to help the marathon get back on schedule, but had the potential of getting brought back in once the schedule got more sane snuffed in favor of a pokemon glitch run that previously failed to hit its incentive earlier on in the marathon This makes me really sad bc bloodstained is an awesome game and id vastly prefer a smaller community game get some visibility then the already galactic sized pokemon one

Cue that one guy getting weirdly aggro that we dare have any mildly negative opinion of a GDQ thing. I'm really liking the show overall but this is undeniably a big fumble

I understand Pokémon runs bring in the money, but you don’t really need that as we head into the final evening. What? Being on the couch isn't some sort of super prestigious prize. Also, I'm assuming the "staff" you're referring to is Keizaron, and I'm reasonably certain he has no decision-making clout. the situation is not great, but there's no need to invent conspiracies about it.

What was Emerald's estimate? I thought it was 3:30 but maybe it was 3:00 since they did have that really bad golbat luck at the start

People have accused GDQ staff of playing favorite basically every year, though I have no idea how much merit there is to that and this could easily have been just a rash oversight.

It was mostly set up issues AFAIK so it's weird to even bring up the emerald run.

Agent355 posted:If it didn't get hit the first time it's hardly bringing in the money though? it brought in something like an extra $100k, so even if it doesn't get met that's still a lot of extra cash it's obviously not a trick you can pull a lot because you might burn people out on failed incentives, but i can't exactly fault them for putting it at the end of the marathon when donation amounts are always much higher

I don't think it was that much (I've said it before but on the initial schedule release Elden Ring was scheduled to start well after midnight local time which is also where it is right now, it might have even been later) but yeah they were at least three hours back. Setup makes sense for a lot of that since I don't remember many (if any) runs going over much and the runs that finish under estimate would have balanced that out easily.

there's probably some sense of "people donated to this and it didn't end up happening, so let's see if we can get it met for the sake of those people" for bringing back BDSP, over bloodstained. even though it was a milestone over an incentive, people probably donated for the purpose of making that run happen it actually makes me wonder about the general % of donos that end up being chargeback'd after the marathon ends. because maybe they don't want that sort of situation

This whole thing is crazy impressive and I keep thinking to myself about how much difficult stuff there is that I don't even know to look for. As somebody who hasn't done all that much metroid I'm sure there is alot of small tech I'm missing but even what I can see is nuts.

To be clear, I’m not trying to be conspiratorial about this. Conflicts of interest can exist in fact and in appearance and I’m pointing out that this can look like one. I assume good intent when it comes to GDQ, but it’s easy to see how this looks bad.

That stinks about Bloodstained. It's a great game and it's the only game where I've bothered to get every achievement. Those last food items... ugh.

I'm pretty sure rerunning the failed incentive doesn't have anything to do with filling out the schedule, it's just an attempt to keep donations coming after the last incentive filled up early. It's already going to 2 AM Sunday which I think is running later than scheduled, but the alternative is not having anything to dangle for donations for the last 12 hours.

I agree, but also you can just make 'bring back blacktastic and the super hot vr guy' as an incentive and I think it'd get hit even faster. Since then it'd be rewarding the runners for being cool dudes and it'd be a feel good incentive.
