What to do? All this is definitely putting Ze_ro on the hot seat. And the dude is just trying to have some fun with other other avid gamers.
Endurance is not just a matter of doing the time but also having the time. So does being "the best player" at a game mean that you not only have to be good at the game, but also have a lifestyle that supports 4, 5, 6 or more straight hours of gaming per session or day? Essentially the definition of the best gamer means calling in late to work or skipping homework with your kids or postponing dinner with your wife so you can flip a score three times in a row? For as leveled as the rules should be about scoring methods, they should also be leveled about the cross-section of people in here. We all aren't single people with 40-hour work weeks, but everyone should get a fair chance based more upon skill instead of opportunity.
Sorry, but this competition shouldn't require a lifestyle change just to be a winner. It's for fun. There's been squabbles, and there will be more, but damn it all if this boils down into a Night Owl High Score Club with bleary eyed people playing for 16 hours straight.
I was proud of my 4 hour stint, but anything longer is out of the question for me. Others here may be ready to go for 10 hours, but others here want a brief distraction instead of a daily obsession.
Choose games that have an end, like timed games, or games that run for a finite amount of time. We all control the games we play, so instead of backing ourselves into a corner, let's think about our choices well before we make them.
