This guy did it for Call of Duty. We should be able to get an enthusiast or a dozen of you guys to do it all. 6v6, 135 hour marathon scrim.
DO IT! Show the world how great this game is....

Problem with NS2 though is tehre may not be anyone to play against at 1 am in the morning.
Edit: In case people haven't done the math, 135 hours is 5.63 days of non-stop gaming.

True some people might take the story as a challenge and try it by themselves with adverse effects. But if it was a legitimate attempt I think the rules are fairly stringent. 10 minute break every hour, or you can build up your time.
But yes it could be bad for NS@ if something horrible went wrong.

i just had the best game ever at 2am on summit...
as i joined, marines lost sub sector and were down to their last base in data core. marines carried on fighting, poking reactor core and trying to hold crossroads (still neutral) and claw back sub sector.
aliens managed to take hives in sub sector and crossroads, dropping shades and defending well (skulks seem far more tricky to hit since the walljump change :P). it was only a matter of time before they were able to get onos, but somehow we were able to muscle through and kill the sub sector hive to take it back.
we got jetpacks soon after; just as the onos started to arrive. the aliens were apparently too bold with their onos, because we were able to kill several of them as they over extended into sub sector (practically impossible for onos to kill jetpacker in there). then we piled on the pressure into flight control with a lone exosuit and a bunch of jetpack/welders.
anyway, you get the picture - 4 base aliens over extended and the marine team came back to win. the game was about 50 minutes long.

Sounds epic! Having too many Oni can result in over confidence I suppose. What country do you game from? I'm from Australia so not sure what the NS midnight night life is like. Could be more lively than I thought.
... NOT.

I bet he had someone swap in for him or he went AFK. In any case I do not think it is possible nor do I ever have any interest in trying.
You know what they say, any news is good news. The guy actually did it in about a 7 day span. You're allowed 10 minute breaks every hour and the breaks you don't take can be accumulated. He saved enough for a 4 hour stretch of sleep. It's a little less impressive, sounds like most college students.
Time to start the marathon 6v6 tournament. Guys... get someone to sponsor this! now!
I imagine it would get boring playing for so long. Sure if there were different games set up for you so you could slide to the next one then that might be better!
It has a very negative impact on your health. 5+ days of non-stop activity of the brain will do more than make you delusional. I guarantee it.
