100 games of RBI in 24 hours

[Stock]

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

Go to a discount sporting good store and pick up 5 score books.  Now you can have these chicks take turns keeping stats as well.  That would be interesting to see the stats after 100 games.  Do you really plan on playing 100 str8 games with just Houston and St. Louis.

I would heartily support any sort of RBI Marathon format, that would rule.  I would say the most games win, no restrictions on the # of breaks or the like.  If you need to nap, you are hurting your chances to have the most victories.   

One TV and two players, no rotating.  We should have a date where we can get 5-10 different sets of players and go at it.  Maybe the forum members who aren't participating can pick a team and put up 25 to 50 cents a game, and at the end pool it all up for charity or something.  Dee-Nee giving back to the community...

Shit, even if one set of players it would be cool...

[TempoGL]

well gantry, we both live in the heart of the Dee-nee community:  the Chicago area.  I think we need to start finding willing participants.  Nacho and I are both in, as are you, I imagine.  From there we can set a date, location, etc.

Im now tempted to time those rbi and tecmo marathons to see just how many games we can churn out during those 4 and 5 hour shots.  Nate and I seriously played for 7 straight hours of RBI last year on the 4th of july. 

3-10PM.   prolly only totaled around 20 games though.

[TempoGL]

i'm still willing to do this

[Attezz]

What if the games are videotaped, instead of videotaping the event itself?

[TempoGL]

would that really make it more interesting for anyone?  watching 100 games of RBI would be pretty damn boring.  watching select snippets of the madness would be much more interesting.

[Attezz]

What about some sort of live webcam set up?

Start on Saturday at 8AM, finish on Sunday at 8AM, we set it up so that the entire room shows, and it can be periodically monitored by TBT and the like.

I don't have a webcam but I imagine they're not too expensive anymore, and there's gotta be some sort of site that will stream it live.

[TempoGL]

it sounds like a good idea.  but are we talking about 24 hours of RBI, or an RBI marathon?

[Attezz]

I think we'd start with 24 hours, and if we can get close to 100 games try to stick it out to 100.

But we'd definitely start realistic with just the 24 hours (tongue in cheek)

[TempoGL]

i think 24 hours of RBI is doable if you get a lot of sleep and have a good supply of red bull esque beverages on hand.

[TbT]

you realize this would lead to the RBI network someday.  RBI games, and events 24-7.

The cotut, the rbi dtinking championship, the ohio tourney.  rbi coverage all day everyday.

[Clambutt]

i think 24 hours of RBI is doable if you get a lot of sleep and have a good supply methamphetamines on hand.

wow, that actually sounds like something jed clampett would say if he were here.  nicely done.

[BeefMaster]

TBT is in Iowa, which is like the meth capital of the world.  I'm sure he can round some up for you.

[TbT]

yep, iowa is the home to meth.  lots o fucked up people on that crap. remember people, tell your friends, family members, and neighbors, meth is not a recreational drug.......NOT A RECREATIONAL DRUG!

[Nacho]

We also discussed the necessity of a good support group, meaning people who would be willing to cook for you, get drinks for you, etc.  Possibly, bed-pans would be needed as well.

[TempoGL]

this event WILL happen.  I just booked a flight to Minnesota on Aug 21st...between then and when i leave on the 24th, Nacho and I WILL play RBI for 24 hours straight.  I don't think Nacho has any friends up there yet, hopefully by then, he will have found someone to serve as our support staff.  Otherwise we will have to go it alone, making it all the worse.

I'm sure he'll meet some people at the sex change conseuling

[Mr. Blubbo]

I wonder if Minnesota has the highest transvestite population next to Cali.  Hmmmmm, perhaps that is why he wanted to go there rather than Northwestern
