    People these days...

    "I'll play a game for 48 hours to help people!"

    When really it should be;

    "I'll Actually help *homeless, poor, dying, starving, whatever else* people for 48 hours!"

    Do something more useful than just sitting around! :P

    They're raising money, that's pretty useful.

    You gave too much notice, two months time is enough for anyone who isn't invested in it to forget. A week before it starts would be better and bumping again the day before, good luck with it though.

    You know what would be truly challenging? If you did the 48 LOL marathon but didn't swear once. Or pass any unpleasant remarks. Now that I'd pay money to see! :D
  • Bold Elf

    you need to emphasise the charity more, alot more, its a fantastic cause. At the moment it just sounds like some guys playing games instead of doing a fun run.....until you look into the charity and realise its relevance to the cause. Make it about the charity and not yourselves would be my advice.

    I hope you do well.
  • Bold Elf
    crazyfool do you have any advice on how I might go about that as it is all about the charity I don’t want it to sound like it’s just about us. But I also need to grab people’s attention so they will read what it’s all about instead of just skim it or pass over it without seeing what it is that Special effect do. So too much text can deter people from reading it unfortunately.

    Any advice would be appreciated :)

    You could do something like...
    "Just like SpecialEffect support disabled gamers, for 48 hours we'll only be playing support champions in League of Legends to raise money for SpecialEffect. You can donate to them here and find our Facebook for the event here."

    In some standards me and you think alike, lad. I was actually going to say the same thing. How the fuck can you help by playing lol?

    On second thought, disregard.
