100 games of RBI in 24 hours

[TempoGL]

There is a proposed event to take place at the Illinois State University chapter of Rho Beta Iota (RBI) house....between myself and the ever-loathed "Dr. Nacho" - we will attempt to play 100 games of RBI in a 24 hour span.  The matchup will hopefully take place before the new year, probably during finals week (when else?) Given that a game can be finished in about 10 minutes if it goes quickly enough, it is a possibility.  What is the most games anyone has ever played in a row?

PS - We do plan to have people (ideally chicks) on hand to provide us with food, bedpans, etc.

I'm telling you I've been thinking that would be incredible if it can be done.

I don't think it can be done, figure each game takes 15 minutes, 4 in an hour, you need 25 hours.

But some games might be quicker, but you might have to take a shit or something or piss.

Playing that long itself will be a major challenge.

Will the nintendo last that long without melting?

I would like to hear more about this, sounds very interesting and maybe the greatest of RBI Stories or accomplishments to date.

well, Dr. Nacho registered as a member of this forum today (name:  rbiequalsgod)....so hopefully we can start a discourse on the possibility of this subject.  Unfortunately, he will probably have trouble figuring out how to use the forum.  (His reaction after i got him to register:  "What happens now?")

I think it's great that you'll try it. But I don't think it can be done. RBI will wear you down mentally. After that tenth hour, you will probably feel retarded. I recommend maybe tripping for this event. The human mind cannot take this kind of punishment without some sort of help. I don't think booze will help.

This would be an incredible feat.  I am curious as to what style you'll play.  If it is down the middle, no way it can be done.  The games would take to long.  If its curve style, the games in theory would be much shorter.  However I still doubt yuo could play 100 in an hour.  What is the game setup?  I say you guys max out at 78 games, which would still be amazing!

[Gantry]

Good luck to you guys, but getting to 100 games is going to be most difficult.  Shit, I say try and play 50 games in 24 hours first.  That's still less than 30 minutes a game, which is much more feasible given food, poo and fatigue considerations.  Let us know how it goes, but I  say don't aim too high at first...

pulling off that daunting feat is impressive if you can do it however, i would wait till after finals are over when your brain is on shutdown mode anyway.  
damn i dont miss school

[TempoGL]

well, I would prefer to do it after finals, but Dr. Nacho is an unemployed wuss, so he will go back home after finals are over, whereas I will be staying here...mostly alone, except for RBI, and Madden football, which just this morning has most thoroughly forsaken me...so I think it might be pure RBI, who never does me wrong.  Well, sometimes it does, but it doesn't remember stats, so I don't have to look at the horrid recollection of 11 DROPPED PASSES IN ONE GAME!

[Gantry]

RBI isn't immune to this - we've had a couple 6 and 7 BOP games...

24 Hours of RBI isn't the best way to study for a final, but it should be the most enjoyable.   Well, probably not...

100 games in 24 hours would be great.  Contact Twin galaxies for classic game world records.  There are currently no records listed for NES RBI games.  They usually send a representative from their organization to "witness" the event or you can videotape the whole ordeal and sent it to them.  Check out their website for more info at www.twingalaxies.com  

Good luck!!

This is the "most loathed" DrNacho speaking on behalf of the two courageous members of the RBI chapter of Illinois State University.  I must say that it can be done, given our curve-pitch style and our love for RBI purity: St. Louis vs. Houston, the two most impotent offenses the RBI masses could ever hope to see.  Therefore, if we do not eat, sleep, or deficate, it can and will be done.  We owe ourselves this opportunity, and we have less than a month to prepare.  Wish us luck.  Thank you.

Give it a go, and be sure to keep us updated every couple hours or so.  It'll be good time log and place to record good games/scores/plays for one.  Also, it will be fun to keep track of your mental state throughout the marathon...

[vgp100]

Is it going to be just two people, or will there be a third player? MAybe you could weara diaper and crap your pants if you have to go. Again, I do stress the importance of not boozing. I advise you to drink lots of water and maybe ingest some mind altering drugs.  (if nothing more than to keep you awake) For I think the mind will give up before the body.

[sucka free]

how do you play RBI and not drink?

[vgp100]

Good point--It won't be easy. But I don't think 100 games cab be done under the influence of booze. I drunk mind will want to give up early, go to bed, or surrender in some way. A drugged mind will become focused, and unchallenged in its pursuit of the goal.

[sucka free]

but if you can't drink, why would you wnat to play RBI?  Again I am confused...its like trying to drive a car without any gas.  Its impossible to play without booze

[NotURMasButArmas]

What mind-altering drug are you talking about?

Armas

[vgp100]

Maybe acid, shrooms, or mesclin?

[sucka free]

i'm talking about beer

[NotURMasButArmas]

Every game lost you have to drop acid.  Ya know what sucks? None of my RBI buddies are my drinking buddies, and vice versa. So I've never done the RBI drinking game.
What about having an RBI Tourny, much like the one coming up but play by the drinking game rules. That would be a sight.
