Right! So time for the current news on this marathon. It's going to be kicking off June 4th-7th, that's 72 hours of the Blue Bomber. We're going to be playing nonstop as always to raise money for our charity of choice. We've got some ideas on that and we're just waiting for the go-ahead from them right now. The ChipIn's probably going to be up near the beginning or middle of May (though if we're feeling lucky we might put it up as early as late April). When that little thing goes up we're going to be starting the promotion siege as per the usual. Everyone is encouraged to do all the promoting they can during that time. We can do a lot ourselves but it is never enough. Even if all of us dropped everything we had going in our lives and devoted them to nothing but getting the word out it still wouldn't be enough. That's why we need all of you to help us promote and get viewers here! All of you are just as much a part of this as we are and without your help we can't make this thing the best it can be. So when the siege starts take a little time to hit up any forums you can think of and post a mention about the marathon, where people can view it, how they can donate, what the cause is for, and so forth. No word yet on if Mana Potions is going to sponsor us for this marathon or not and we're discussing trying to get in touch with Capcom, so we'll see how that goes! Wouldn't it be awesome on a new level if they actually helped us out during the marathon? As for the breakdown of the game list and the players, right now this is currently where things stand: - Mega Man 1: Cornshaq
- Mega Man 2: Steve
- Mega Man 3: Steve
- Mega Man 4: Jerrod
- Mega Man 5: Jerry
- Mega Man 6: Mark
- Mega Man 7: Cornshaq
- Mega Man 8: Tailz64
- Mega Man 9: Tom
- Mega Man 10: Unknown
- Mega Man X: AlenMcDohl
- Mega Man X2: Steve
- Mega Man X3: Tailz64
- Mega Man X4: Steve
- Mega Man X5: Unknown
- Mega Man X6: Jerry
- Mega Man X7: Unknown
- Mega Man X8: Unknown
- Mega Man Zero: Jerry
- Mega Man Zero 2: Steve
- Mega Man Zero 3: Jerry
- Mega Man Zero 4: Steve

Ladies and gentlemen! The Mega Man marathon is going to be raising money for the Alzheimer's Association. The promotion siege is going to begin near the end of this money, so begin spreading the word as far and wide as you can. Try to get as many people interested as possible by hitting up your local gaming stores, comic stores, and local hangouts. Those of you that are in university right now might even consider spreading the word to anyone and everyone you can find on campus. We'll be getting a flier up on the forums soon that you can download and print out if you want to help by wallpapering your towns with them. Here soon we're going to get the reddit and digg articles up so everybody should go there at that time to up vote and digg the marathon. Let's make this marathon even more successful than Z-Day was.

It has begun! It is time to promote, promote, promote! We've got it posted on the main page now, as well as links to the various news sites we've got articles on so be sure to hit them and vote the marathon up! Why? Because it'll get us closer to being on their front pages where more people will see the good news and it'll also help to off-set those pricks that seem to hate charity so much they would downvote our good news so it never sees the light of day. How should you promote the marathon? Well, hit up any and all forums you can think of with any users that would be interested in this sort of thing, hit up any and all social networking sites you might be part of and write something about us, tell people locally about the marathon and where to go. You should probably include in your promotion our name (The Returners), the site's URL ( returnersgaming.blogspot.com/), the charity's name (The Alzheimer's Association), and the charity's URL ( www.alz.org/swmo/). Remember! We absolutely need everyone's help to promote the marathon.

Sweet. I said on the chatboard during the Zelda marathon that I'd be happy to donate a prize. So I'll make one of my beaded creations, probably Megaman at least. Here's a picture of some of my stuff. They're square-stitched out of seed beads, in case your'e wondering. img.photobucket.com/albums/v204/Thornwood/beaded%20stuff/25022_10150099096960122_704730121_1.jpgMegaman is in the bottom corner. I'll probably make it a keychain for the event. I'll send a closeup picture once I get the chance to make another. I might be able to make other Master Bots, depending. I'd love to actually play some Megaman, but I'm not so good at the games and haven't gotten around to beating any of them.

We're working on it. XD I keep forgetting to get the rest of the stuff to Jerry so he can mail it all out at the same time. Hopefully we'll have it all sent off this coming weekend.

Hm... so we need someone for MM8, MM10, MMX5, MMX7, and MMX8. I wonder if there's anyone here that could rip through any of those games quick like a bunny?

Go my pretties! Spread the word like swine flu! Anywhere and everywhere you can, let people know about it! You should also probably encourage 1up, joystiq, and kotaku to post a story about the marathon. And for the love of all that is good and holy in this world! All of you need to digg/up vote the marathon on all of those sites linked in the main post about the marathon. Remember it's you that makes the marathon successful!

This just in, The Megathon is currently featured on the front page of www.capcom-unity.com/! Remember, spread the word far and wide and digg the marathon (link on the main site). It is only through the efforts of everyone that this event is successful. At the risk of breaking our own forum rules... we're gonna rock this bitch!
