4 days just for a tournament? I don't think you could concentrate enough in the end.

I know they really frown on chatter about other games but a comparison would be that really big MMO with the 2 factions. Each new expansion or new patch content release my guild would grind to the new level cap straight through. Typically a 3 or 4 day grind. We'd start with 20 heroes and shed maybe 15 wannabes by day 3. We only got a 'world first' record (out of 120+ different game servers) once but we sure as hell tried at every opportunity.

Fanatical gaming isn't unheard of by any means. Little power nap every now and again and lots of very dangerous chemicals tend to help.

Was playing such lvling games... knew many gamers and nolifers and fanatics... but Theres proved he was nonstop by PC except 2 hours. At least, those gamers did something inbetween... more than 2 hours of 96... plus wer talking about same IP... which is badly against this argues about how long person could stay awake... a team playing together, chating on TS, mumble or ventrilo... duh... still... not just one IP...

No... seriously. And I know few of fanatics... they are so pedant, allways have an IP exception if needed... in this case... they didnt need it? As a team in a team game? Duh... BS

This is mostly a breeze just refreshing tabs constantly. I dunno about 4 days I've let my health slide a bit this last year but 3 days nooooooooo problem for me at all. Perky and obnoxious the whole way too

Most of those gamers you hear about dying usually didn't die from sleep deprivation they consumed foolish amounts of energy drinks, have underlying health conditions to begin with, etc.

From Wikipedia:

Randy Gardner holds the scientifically documented record for the longest period of time a human being has intentionally gone without sleep not using stimulants of any kind. Gardner stayed awake for 264 hours (11 days), breaking the previous record of 260 hours held by Tom Rounds of Honolulu.[74] Lt. Cmdr. John J. Ross of the U.S. Navy Medical Neuropsychiatric Research Unit later published an account of this event, which became well-known among sleep-deprivation researchers.[39][75][76]

Boese also says that the Guinness World Records record stands at 449 hours (18 days, 17 hours), held by Maureen Weston, of Peterborough, Cambridgeshire in April, 1977, in a rocking-chair marathon

It's not just about how long you can stay awake for. If you read into it he had mirconaps as well.
Also I think C2 is trying say that a graphical game is easy to stay awake to, text based, refreshing pages etc, is just too boring.

Also link to stats is on the realm page now.
