I'll be streaming for 160 out of the 168 hour race coming up.

Just saw your signature, MrMordred... and so the real(?) reason for this nonsense becomes clear. Selling orbs? /sigh.

I hope anyone who would even consider supporting/encouraging this instead support GGG directly.
My money is you'll pass out around 55 hour mark lmao. Good luck though brothA!

I 100% intend on purchasing 2 Gold Kiwis, so at the end of the day, the money's still going to them, no biggy. GGG themselves have said they in a post in the past that they don't care about external trading, just that they don't support it and can't help you if anything goes wrong. But that conversation's for another thread, and if you wish to strat one, I'll actively partake in a mature conversation regarding it :)

That said, edited my sig to direct people to my Twitch stream, should keep everyone happy :)

They don't allow advertising on this site for sites of that nature so i am pretty sure your signature is breaking the TOU of the site.

Everything makes sense now....

You want the publicity from the race for another reason.

Love the people who play games like PoE as a pure money making venture instead of, you know, something fun to do.

This guy is going to be selling in-game orbs for irl money on OB. Awesome, right? This stream is publicity for his business venture.

And like I said. This guy is not doing it to do well or even place well or even try his best. He's doing it for other reasons.

MrMordred said: "I 100% intend on purchasing 2 Gold Kiwis, so at the end of the day, the money's still going to them, no biggy." No. You stated that you'd buy the best Kiwis for yourself and your gf with the donations you get. Two gold Kiwi's imply that you think people will donate $500+ to you for this marathon.

Your stream has no real attraction or value to most people. The only compelling thing is that you'll try to stay awake. Not to even try to do well. Not setup a team to try to win. Not try new strats or setups. Just stay awake. You have no history of any acomplishment in PoE beyond getting a char to 63 in Default.

Why should we watch you and GIVE YOU MONEY again?

How i envy the ones that can go without sleep for such a crazy period of time.
Myself having chronic fatigue syndrom, I sleep around 11-12 hours a day and if its like 1 hour less then what i "need" i basicly destroy my day by being a zombie.

That said. Good luck with your bold (and perhaps suicidal) attempt to game for this long.
You should make 2 donation Pits for your stream. 1 for people calling you live and 1 for people calling you will die.

They better get their moderators up to date if this is true.
Official word is that external trading is not disallowed (it's pretty much impossible to police) but extremely discouraged, and any evidence of it on this forum will be moderated. Is this a case of 'don't get caught', then? Pretty much. Realistically speaking, not all laws are upheld to the letter (this isn't exactly 1984) but they still exist. I shouldn't have to give any examples thereof.

So at the end of the day, it comes down to whether or not you respect the devs' wishes. Like so much of GGG's business model, the ethical card has been played, not forced. That's part of what makes it so ethical.
If I like a game, it'll either be amazing later or awful forever. There's no in-between.

I am Path of Exile's biggest whale. Period.
