OFFICIAL TG POLICY - MARATHONING V1.0
The thread, posted by Rob Mruczek back in 2003 can be found here for those who haven't read it:
https://www.twingalaxies.com/showthr...rathoning-v1-0
To cut a long story short, there are several players looking to marathon very soon (I won't spill the beans on which game) and I'm hoping to provide come clarity to the marathon rules and particularly players taking breaks.
The above thread mentioned a V2.0 of the rules, but it doesn't look as one exists. A comment in the thread did mention that Guinness allowed a 5 minute break per hour of a marathon attempt, and that time could be banked; however a break of no more than 60 minutes could be taken at one time. This Guinness rule is at odds with the original post by Rob, but I can't see that it was ever addressed. My gut feeling is that Guinness would override Twin Galaxies with regards to this rule.
This still becomes ambiguous to me, can a player if capable, play for 24 hours straight, bank up a total of 2 hours of break time. Take a 1 hour break, play again for a minute, then take another 1 hour break?
What are the views of the community and Twin Galaxies regarding marathon attempts with particular view to breaks.
Thanks
