I thought of a GREAT idea today. Well, I think it’s great at least. Halloween is coming soon and I think to celebrate it, we need to have an All Day Diablo Marathon! Yes, a whole day devoted to the playing of Diablo.
You make plans in advance to have meals either easy to fix or delivered (I like the idea of pizza, myself – if only someone delivered here!) and work on reducing the distractions in the day. And we get together on the Blizzard network and play a game from the start until the Marathon ends. Just to see how long we can last and how far we can go. (I ask, in advance, if maybe I could be an Amazon? I’ve not been her yet – just recently started playing with the Barbarian and he’s lots of fun.)
If this sounds do-able, we need to pick the date. Halloween is on a Sunday, so that might work for many folks. However, I’ll have to be done by 10pm EDT cuz of school the next day. (Thankfully it’s the end of Daylight Savings that night, so I can stay til 10pm instead of 9pm like usual.) I personally prefer doing it Saturday cuz I, for one, can stay up a lot later then.
So shall we establish a few things ahead of time? Like game name and password? Expansion, non-ladder characters? Perhaps we could all get together on IRC at some point to figure out what characters we want and how to give the party a good balance? Then create them, so we can get started early on the day of the marathon? I’m leaning towards a bone & poison Necro myself, but I don’t wanna step on the toes of anyone who’s wanting to try one themselves. What’s everyone else wanna try? -//
