Osu! Guinness World Record Attempt

Hello guys and girls,

My name is Jake and I'll try to keep this as short as possible. Later this year I aim to attempt (and complete) a GWR (Guinness World Record) using Osu! as the structure. It requires that I play for 144 consecutive hours, accumulating 10 minutes of rest for each hour of playtime. I have already filled out the basic paperwork and will find out the finalizing details within the next 12 weeks. However, there are some things that I need assistance with wich I hope some of you could help with.

In order to oversee the event, I would need two staff members (any role) to oversee both the start and at the very least, the end of the event. Four timers will need keeping track of. Two for the total time and the other two for rest time. More details can be discussed in detail via email.

We will also need extra people available who could switch in on 4-hour shifts, or less depending on how many people volunteer to oversee the event. Two people must be present at all times.

The people that volunteer will be there to ensure that the GWR is being carried out correctly, as well as logs for the entire event which need to document everything relating to the GWR during the 144 hours.

We will also need commentators as we plan on live streaming the entire thing on TwitchTV. This also gives the game some extra attention wich also doesn't hurt.

The event/venue will be hosted in the United Kingdom. The specific location (town/city) for the event will be up for discussion for those who volunteer to help out. This will factor in aspects such as hotels, shopping facilities, and recreational zones. Funding through donations and sponsors will be something that we would also need to discuss between us. I hope that I could also organize some in-game goodies for those included.

-

If you would like to find out more details feel free to leave a message on this post. If you are staff feel free to ask for my email as this ensures that I will see your messages throughout the day. Over the next few weeks, I hope we can build a basis for this event in which we can all thoroughly enjoy. I will keep this thread updated as often as I can.

Do be careful! It sounds cool, and I'm sure you already know this, but be sure to prioritize your health over anything.

Health implications etc have all been taken into account. We're waiting to finalize on how rest will work, but at the very least it will be what is stated above.

I'm second this, and it's pretty interesting.

It sounds like you know what you're doing. Good luck!

If you're desperate on commentators I can help out for a while, maybe.

Thank you! I will take a note of your name. Should hopefully have something such as Discord set up tomorrow so we have somewhere to discuss in detail with ease.

Good luck with this hopefully it's a success, do be careful though :b

This looks pretty legit, we might need to get more people on board with this.

Damn, How about sleeping? Or is there an amount of hour you need to accomplish every day?

The answer is literally in the quote you took :lol:

I actually attempted this back in 2013 where I played for about 31 hours in total. It's pretty dangerous tbh, but I know you can do it if I can do it, I just have school xP

Might give it another shot in this summer

10 minutes of nap every single hour?!?! That is one odd sleep cycle for the next 6 days :lol: Maybe I should try it the next time I'm spending the night at a net cafe :P
Anyway,

Most likely longest video game session which is currently 138 hours 34 minutes.

If I save the 10 minutes, it makes up 4 hours each day, so 3 hours nap time is manageable, my body runs on a 4-hour sleep cycle.

If you believe you can do it, then go for it. I know personally that I can achieve this.

Health concerns are definitely on the list. I'd offer to commentate or something but I'm focusing on other stuff currently. If (which I doubt) you end up short handed, hit me up.

Good luck! Just don't outdo yourself. :)

Fortunately, I'm someone who can easily keep their mind occupied, even more so when I have music.

Have you done anything like this before? "I've done multiple all-nighters playing video games" is a valid answer.

Multiple times, longest I've attempted before was 96 hours, that was with no naps at all. Fortunately, I've slowly adapted to low levels of sleep due to short rest hours between work etc.

If you can clump many hour's rest together (20 or 30min naps) it's plenty of sleep to live for months or longer with.

I'd volunteer if you were nearby :P This sounds like fun.

144/24 = 6
Holy crap 6 days, that is WAY impressive. I can't do anything for more than 8 hours before I start going crazy.
I hope you will try your best!

Your meme avatar fits this attempt perfectly.
