It's a little ways away, but might as well give a few things away. One of them is on the website so it isn't really a secret, but the marathon has been extended to 100 hours. We will be playing through FF1-10 and 12 during the marathon, and while we had initially meant not to do any of the spin-off games there is a possible chance that between some of the games various scenarios from FF4: The After Years will be played. Not sure if that's actually going to happen or not, but we'll be sure to keep everyone informed on that front. Finally, while we aren't going to give away the charity we're raising money for yet, it's almost certain that everyone here is going to approve of the choice and find great humor in what we'll be doing during the marathon while fundraising for that specific charity.

I'm going to guess it's a lung cancer charity.

Be sure to check out the post on the main page at returnersgaming.blogspot.com/2009/07/final-fantasy-marathon.htmlDigg the marathon, Reddit it, Tweet it, join the Facebook event if you can and then invite all of your friends to join it as well, and then mail it to whoever you think would be interested in the event as a whole. If you're on any other social networking sites, let all of your friends there know and if you're a member of any groups on any of those sites, post something on the group. Make a YouTube video if you can, post on any forums you might be a member of, make posters to hang around town, make flyers, hand out business cards if that's your thing, etc. We will be providing a link to flyers that you can print out and hang around your towns in the coming days as well. When promoting the event here are some things to include: The Final Fantasy marathon is going to begin August 6th starting at 5:00pm CST and continue until August 10th at 9:00pm CST. That's a massive 100 hours of Final Fantasy. It'll be our longest marathon yet. We're a group of people that stream live video game marathons to raise money for various charities. The Final Fantasy marathon in August is going to be for Child's Play which has been a charity we have fundraised for in the past and will likely continue to fundraise for in future marathons. Child's Play is a charity that seeks to fulfill the wishlists of children that require extended stays in the hospital by purchasing books, toys, consoles, video games, movies and more for them to keep their spirits and their parents' spirits up during trying times. You should be sure to include a link to the website where the marathon can be viewed (http://returnersgaming.blogspot.com) and you should probably include a link to the Child's Play website as well (http://www.childsplaycharity.com). It might also help to mention the friendly and always growing community on the site and the forums as well. You could also mention in brief the upcoming Zelda marathon next year in March to gain a bit more interest in the site beyond the FF marathon. So! Thanks in advance to everyone that's going to be promoting the event. Go now! Go out and spread the word!
