Event - EVO 2013 (Breast Cancer Research Drive) TwitchTV Zelda-thon Donation Drive

[Oddler]

Been literally YEARS since I logged onto Smashboards...but I was more of Brawl player when I did post on here but gave that game up many years ago. I play melee casually with friends and have only been to one real life tournament...but my love for this game and community made me re-log on this website after reading the scumbag disrespectful Twitter msg Skullgirls devs left about Melee it makes me want to help take action.

I will be running a 48 hour Zelda-thon by myself in one-sitting (the way I normally do it) to help raise funds for the Breast Cancer Cure fundraiser. This starts the moment I wake up Saturday morning and will run into Sunday and a bit of Monday. I have no idea how much I can clock in but I estimate bare minimum at least $1,000 from people OUTSIDE of the Smash Community whos money isn't probably tapped dry after pumping in 15k into Melee...BUT the problem was since it uses wepay.com that I'll never actually know how much gets put in the way I would know if it used ChipIn

Anyway, my channel is http://www.twitch.tv/oddler aka the ResidentSleeper emoticon if you type into chat.

I'll be running Zelda games by myself for 48 hours hustling people for donations.

Oddler saves Hyrule for the boobies.

...The one and only (though many wish they were), Hero of Boobies.

 

[Revven]

This is simply brilliant! <3

I support this 1000000000000%, more of this is what we need. Appreciate it so much, Oddler!

 

[ZeldaFreak0309]

You are AWESOME!

 

[Tse]

ResidentSleeper is legit.

 

[the hylian]

Someone get cosmo to do this.

 

[Revven]

Someone get cosmo to do this.

He said he wouldn't because he never talks about Smash on his stream so it'd be weird. (It's, IMO, a poor excuse to me but it is what it is. He did participate in a donation fund already with AGDQ so I wouldn't be surprised if he's tired and wants a break from that sort of thing).

 

[TheCrimsonBlur]

You're the best <3

 

[Strong Badam]

When will this be happening? Thanks a ton btw, this is sick.

 

[GimR]

Thanks Man!

 

[Isatis]

Thank you SO MUCH Oddler!

 

[Landry]

This is AWESOME

 

[KrazyKnux]

This is an awesome idea. I was just brainstorming earlier today and thought a long livestream for some popular games would be a great way to bring in donations. I know Call of Duty commentators can bring in a large number of subscribers, and it's making me wish I started a CoD channel.

So thanks for doing this, I'll definitely tune in sometime. And if anyone else is well-known in other communities, this idea would work elsewhere too.

 

[Oddler]

Someone get cosmo to do this.

I've just asked Cosmo on Twitter if he'd like to run Wind Waker for me in the marathon. I also asked another Melee enthusiast Mofat who runs Twilight Princess and I believe was power ranked in Oregon if he'd like to do that since there's far more zelda content than 48 hours can do.

This is sounding even better and better. Cosmo gets a consistent 3k-5k viewers now so him participating would be so awesome.

 

[Matador]

Hats off to you, sir. I'll be tuning in, for sure.

 

[Tse]

ResidentSleeper and CosmoWright in one stream? Kreygasm.

 

[Revolution6 aka alterego]

Featured stream for the weekend guarrentied lol

 

[Violence]

SICK!

Thanks so much for your support!

 

[leffen]

Siglemic is practicing OOT 100% too, and he used to play smash

Try him!

 

[Tse]

Woooooow it's like the ultimate twitch team in one weekend.

 

[Oddler]

Cosmo has politely declined on Twitter.

Maybe if you tweet him with encouragement he may feel more motivated.

I'll try messaging Siglemic to run OoT or something...I know he use to go to melee tourneys.

 

[Bones0]

Melee calling in some favors: 11 years' worth. MUAHAHA!

 

[Gea]

Much respect you!

 

[10th]

Pretty sure Iateyourpie (twitch.tv/iateyourpie) is a melee fan/played a bit a while back, and he gets a ton of viewers for paper mario. It couldn't hurt to try and contact him for support if anybody's up for that (obviously not for the zeldathon but for getting different people to donate in general)

 

[Revven]

I'll try messaging Siglemic to run OoT or something...I know he use to go to melee tourneys.

I'm not sure how up Sig would be for that, I don't think he's there yet to do a full 100% OoT run. Though if you did manage to get him it'd be really cool.

The other option would be to ask him to run MM instead, since I'm pretty sure that's more his game than OoT is right now. But hey, who knows, maybe he will be up for OoT as it'd be good practice regardless.

 

[omgwtfToph]

Oddler you are a cool person.

 

[Oddler]

twitch.tv/zodiacsmash is a pretty popular Zelda Twilight Princess speed runner and also cares about Melee being a player of it in tourneys as well. He just said he was in to help run TP. It's just that much more hype.

 

[Revven]

Everybody should also support whoever participates in this by tuning into when they stream. Just having their stream channels open while they're playing helps them, even if you aren't watching. The more viewers they get total, the more likely it is for them to be on the front page of twitch, which only means more possible donations towards the breast cancer research and Melee going to Evo.

 

[Oddler]

All advertisement money I make on my channel and on this marathon will go directly for my personal donation I'll be doing. So the more viewers + viewers with ad-block turned off is also bank.

 

[strawhats]

You are da man!

 

[smopup]

This is such a great idea. I'm now following you on Twitch and will be tuning in for sure.

You will be the first person I turn off ad-block for.

 

[HyugaRicdeau]

Thanks Oddler from all of us at Melee It On Me and the Smash community in general, we'll definitely give you a shoutout on our podcast this weekend.

Guys, I suggest you don't bug Cosmo or other people a second time if they've already declined. You don't want to annoy people into doing a favor for you.

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

when does the 48 hours start?

 

[MK26]

when does the 48 hours start?

This starts the moment I wake up Saturday morning and will run into Sunday and a bit of Monday.

ah, 10char, how I missed you

 

[stabbedbyanipple]

ah whoops, dunno how I missed that

 

[CloneHat]

Does Jiano still play?

 

[Revven]

Oddler is streaming right now but he hasn't started playing anything yet: http://www.twitch.tv/oddler

It's a prelim. stream until he actually starts playing but feel free to join the stream etc if you want.

 

[Scidadle]

I talked briefly to Jiano on his stream about melee a few days ago. He didn't really seem to have any sort of interest in melee anymore and he doesn't pull that many viewers regardless.

Cosmo would be a cool candidate to maybe pitch is for a little and leave a donation link on his page. But that's up to him and from my understanding he's already said he doesn't wanna do anything of the sort which sucks but it's his choice and we gotta respect it.
