Playing Ys for Charity!

[fortemp3]

Hey guys, I figured this would be a good place to mention it. The group I'm in (which among other things helped me with the Ys Chronicles Complete music pack project) has decided to do something for charity over the course of October 17th and 18th. A live videogame charity event called Extra Life in which gamers will do 24 hour sessions to raise money to fight against Pediatric Cancer will be commencing, and my group is going to be taking part with a 24 hour live marathon of the Ys series.

That said, I figured it might be worth mentioning here, and for that matter, getting a good idea of what we can actually play through in the course of 24 hours...The preliminary list consists of...

-Ys Books 1&2 (Turbo Duo)
-Ys Complete 1&2 (Windows PC, Chronicles Music Pack in use)
-Wanderers from Ys (Genesis, or Turbo Duo if we can find it)
-Oath in Felghana (Windows PC)
-Ys4 Mask of the Sun
-Ys5 The City of Sand (I think that's the full name? I never played 5)
-Ys6 The Ark of Naphistim
-Ys7

That all said, is there anyone in here who'd be interested in such an undertaking? Live gaming runs have been all the rage lately, so I figured if my group did this we ought to tackle a series no one else in the charity event would, and we all agreed: Ys.

I would totally pitch in with Wanderers from Ys for the Genesis, but I've no idea how to undertake such a task...

Ah, the team for the charity's been assembled already, though if you're curious as to how to set up your own broadcast, I could help you out with that, Koa. Right now it's going to be myself, Firehawke (both new to these forums but fairly longtime Ys fans) as well as omgfloofy.

That's a really great thing you all are doing. I've actually never heard of such an event before. Is there a main site or some articles that talk about "Extra Life" in general? I'd like to pass that information to my friends and contacts. Also, how will you all be accepting pledges? I'd like to pass that information as well.

I know Ark of Napishtim and Mask of the Sun like the back of my hand and could help accordingly

Forte, I'm quite intrigued by all this, but I don't yet understand how exactly we can help the people at that hospital with those cancer problems...

For the funds, I have to somehow find a way to get my activities sponsored? Or... is all we will be doing is to play for them in their homeage?

I didn't get yet how this all works, even after reading most things on that site... I'd love some details.

I'm kind of interested in doing something like this but for a different place.

But I don't really know how to go about it. Been talking to nuu to see what I can do for streaming gameplay over the internet, but still really kind of lost.

I wouldn't even know who to go to to get donations...haha
