Join N4G as We Game for the Children's Miracle Network
Hey, N4Gers!
N4G Moderators Odion, JL, cgoodno and I are leading the N4G team to charity victory - want in? As gamers in Extra Life's annual 24-hour video game marathon you can join the N4G team and get some play time in or you can donate and help us reach our fundraising goal!
All contributions will benefit local Children's Miracle Network Hospitals. Any contribution will help and all donations are tax deductible.
Our team fundraising goal is $5000 - which is huge for our first year, but c'mon...we can so do this!
If you would like to be part of the N4G team by playing just go here: http://www.extra-life.org/i... All gaming counts - PC, console, mobile, board...just game!
If you want to be part of the N4G team by donating choose any of our participant profiles on that page and donate!
Some other stuff: Want to play 24 hours but not for 24 hours straight? That's cool, just clock 24 hours in the time frame you choose! This is about the kids, after all - any Achievements/Trophies/etc. earned is just icing on the very real cake.
BONUS: If you join the team OR donate $24 or more to one of the N4G team's participants you'll be entered to win a swag bundle from our swag closet. This is a grab bag of posters, t-shirts, buttons, bags, and dog tags to name a few from GDC, E3, PAX...or stuff that showed up in the mail.
1. Swag bundle is open to all except for employees of HAVAmedia and immediate relatives. You do not have to be a registered N4G user to win.
2. Closing date is 15th October 2011
3. The winner will be chosen by random.org and notified via email or N4G ticket on or after October 16, 2011.
4. Failure to reply to notification within fourteen (14) days results in forfeiture of prize.


Or, you can just donate to someone if you don't feel like gaming but want to give!
Blasphemy!
On topic, things like this make me proud to be a gamer. I'm in.
So I can sign up really close to the date? That's good, because I can really only do this if I have off of work that day and the day after (for sleep).
Hope I can participate. There's nothing more sad than someone dying before they get a chance to live a full life.
It's much more likely that I'll split my time up between the few days prior to that.
Or, another option is: my "weekend" is actually Monday-Tuesday, those being the days I'm off work. So, I could maybe squeeze in a 24hr session there. Or at least a couple 12hr sessions.
P.S. Cat, if I split up my time and the Marathon-Donation Police show up at my door, you are so paying for my bail :P
All i have is cash.
On the condition that you (Cat) play Zero in the game of my choosing. If you win I'll drop $50. If Zero wins it'll be $25. I know it's wrong to give different amounts based on the outcome but Zeros' tears are worth more than yours to me.
Do we have a deal?
P.S.- You'll have to promise that you both try to win though. Zero throwing the match won't impress me so I think you'll have to record some footage of this particular challenge and post it up for all of N4g to see.
10 members strong and counting!
Edit: It's good to be back. (For me I mean.) ;)
This is a great event and Im happy to see other gaming sites and communities finally getting on board with it.
edit: welcome to the team, Shani!
I will try to squeeze 24 Hrs between Oct.12-14 or Oct.12-15.
