Chess marathon tournament

i agree having a 24 hour tournament without a great reward like an hourly blitz tournament or something would just seem silly because it would take a lot of motivation for the winner to actually win that tournament.
Mmmh yeah I will make a cool trophy for the marathon tournament.
Something almost as epic as @hiimgosu trophy.
maybe it could be a annual event to keep it prestigious. nothing will ever come close to that berserk trophy #pureclass
I reckon there should be two, or maybe even three trophies for an event of this size - perhaps the overall winner, the biggest loser, and the person who played for the most time.
OMG --- just saw the trophy --- if you show the trophy for this tournament, it should be good for a 25% increase in players....
I would join! Best time for me is July. Maybe first or second week?

Like #16 said, there should be multiple awards. Maybe not the biggest loser, though. Then people will join just to fail.

e.g:
Overall winner
Most games played
Longest time spent playing
Most wins with berserk
Highest rating with the least amount of games played

Thibault, you can choose to use any of these five or none of them. Just throwing out ideas.
