Hi all,
So a bit more detail about the 24 hour gaming I’ll be doing.
I’m looking at starting tomorrow on the 27th at 12 pm (AUST) - Midday, after the server restart and going on till 28th at 12pm Midday.
I was hoping to make this a charity fundraising event, which I hope others could participate and we could donate together, but unfortunately it looks like it will have to be individual donations. So I will be donating when I start playing. If you want to participate, I would also encourage you to donate to, but you don’t have to if you want to join in.
The charity I’m looking at donating to is https://checkpointorg.com and here’s a bit of info from their “about us” page.
I know this is a different charity to donate to, as most events like this is usually for sick kids or other groups, which are serious. But I think mental health is really important, and especially for us gamers and during this stupid year. And if this website/organisation can help anyone in our community and give them support, then I’m really happy to donate.
I had hoped to get this posted officially as an event here at Strayagaming but unfortunately it was not to be.
So I would like to invite members of our community to join me during the 24 hour gaming session and donate if you can during the event.
https://checkpointorg.com/donate/ (choose the “one-time” amount option on the left of the page.)
And maybe mention that you're a member of the Strayagaming community. But again, you don’t have to, if you don’t want or can’t afford to. It’s all good!
I have some players that I talked to, that are keen, but might not do the full 24 hours. I’m also hoping that there will be some admin that will help us make the event fun during those hours. ( I would especially like a go-kart race during the event ) but only if they are available.
During that time, I’ll be streaming on Youtube, hopefully for that full 24 hours. https://youtu.be/VbG20atRPHI (Edit: My stream worked, but Youtube has a limit on how long you can stream for :(... 12 hours max.... Sucky)
I’m looking forward to this, and have gotten permission from my boss to set up and play at work…. LOL… they have gigabit fiber there…
Hope to see you guys there.
