Unfortunately, 90 stars means Zach has found his way to Stone Cyclone...

After finally perfecting the giant Koopa stomp, Zach successfully defeated the cyclone.

...but what of those purple coins belonging to Mario's brother? They remain elusive, cosmic, and frustrating.
Will Zach muster enough will to seize them all? Stay tuned to this topic!

150 deaths later, Zachnorn finally pulled off Luigi's Purple Coin Chaos. At this rate, he will probably reach 120 stars.

SMG2 is beaten with 120 stars. I am undecided about playing tomorrow to go for the green stars. Note that I do not plan to actually finish the green stars, as my summer continues to wind to a close, I need to play PW3, and I will soon be out of time.

We have come to terms for stats to be generated.

Zachnorn reached 120 stars. To do this, he died 778 deaths.

SMG2 tomorrow! When? After it is decided that I am done for the day (probably after finishing PW3 case 2). Watch for updates to this topic. For those familiar with PW3 that are watching me play, if you could bump this when there are estimates of me finishing pretty soon. Note that there will be a break for people to gather into the room before SMG2 starts. Probably something like 15 minutes. Thanks!

I sadly have to announce the cancellation of this playthrough.

*Spoilers*

After I reached 120 stars, I made this an unscheduled playthrough. What that means is that I would just play it at any time, and no play times were guaranteed. Still, I intended to play it to at least 241 stars. I was thinking of even doing that today.

*End spoilers*

Sadly, due to some drama last night between 5+ users in the room, I feel like I cannot continue. To sum it up without naming names (witnesses know who did what), shortly after my PW3 playthrough (my final one!) ended, the owner/head admin of the room demoted me from admin status, muted me, and promoted everyone else to admin status. When questioned about it, the general reasoning is that I had previously offended him a few years ago with jokes (similar to failnorn/etcnorn jokes), back when he didn't have power, but now he has power. I apparently kicked him at some point too, but I don't remember ever doing that.

At any rate, this presents a few problems to me. After doing playthroughs for nearly 5 years, I feel that I deserve more respect than that, especially after just finishing my final scheduled playthrough. Further, I see no reason why I should be demoted to a regular user in future playthroughs, when I can easily just move and have some actual control over the chat, which was, in fact, a stipulation to me even broadcasting there. I cannot be an op until the head admin makes me one, and I do not see that as likely. In general, I feel that his actions were flagrant admin abuse, and me and several others have been calling for him to resign.

This has unfortunately caused quite a bit of a problem in the chat, and it has been going on for 5-6 hours after I finished the playthrough. Since then, nobody has said anything.

Still, I do not feel that I can or should continue this playthrough in such an atmosphere. While I can move, it would cause a problem with multiple rooms, and overall will only hurt the community more than this drama already has. Therefore, I feel that the responsible and mature thing to do is to simply end it here.

I apologize to my fans who wanted to see SMG2 completed to 241 stars. This issue with the regulars of the IRC channel has unfortunately caused you to be hurt the most. It has also hurt me, as well. I wanted to have a great final playthrough day, and not be thrown into drama like this. I really, really hate how it all ended, and I feel that it is a very unfortunate and unfitting end to my 5 years of broadcasting. I can't help but feel that the viewers feel the same way, and I am sorry that you had to see the dispute between the IRC owner and I do out of control like this.

This is not how I expected to end these playthroughs. I expected it to end with either happiness for all the great years, or sadness that it is going away, but not anger and drama.

Nevertheless, thank you all for watching, and I hope others continue to do playthroughs, and watch them, too!

EDIT: This does not mean that my playthroughs or the completion of SMG2 has no chance to come back. I've discussed the possibility with others in the IRC chat, but I will not post about that here.

When it happened, I thought we were being given temporary admin status as a show of appreciation, while your loss of said status was meant to be symbolic of the end of these broadcasts. Turns out it was just someone acting out a petty grudge over something that happened years ago. I feel violated.

Still not changing this signature until I darn well feel like it. So stop asking.

I'd like to. Preferably doing it unscheduled, like if I have a few hours to kill or something. But that room is way too hostile for me to do it there, so it will definitely be done elsewhere.

I honestly thought so as well. Actually, I thought that it was him messing with me, as we've messed with each other before. As it turns out, he was just acting out a grudge, and I find it sad that he had to choose that of all times to do it. I think that would do more damage to him than me, but whatever. If he really had an issue with me, he should have brought it up at a different time.

I'll be honest.
If he hadn't brought it up, I was going to.

The more you bump this, the less you look like a victim and the more you look like you're playing the victim card.
You're looking less like someone who has reason to be upset and more like you want to play but are holding out for a better deal.
(Especially after the good topic dropped.)

Besides, you're back to schoolnorn and worknorn, right?. Othernorns just don't matter right now.

I just want to point out that the only reason why I am bumping this is to save it from purging until I get around to archiving it. I've been very busy lately, and I haven't gotten around to doing things like archiving this topic and setting up another AoD. I just got home after being gone for over 13 hours today, so yeah.

My goal with bumping this isn't to bring attention to one of my other posts. It's simply because I've been too lazy to archive it. If I really wanted to bring attention to this, I would have posted it on the secret board, kept talking about it over IRC, and done other stuff.

But if this topic really bothers you, I'll let it die. I'll lock this in 24 hours in case you have anything you want to say.

EDIT: Also, I don't expect anything to change. I'm going to be extremely busy. I already am extremely busy. I don't see the IRC chat changing anytime soon, and I never really did. I can't hold out on a deal when I don't expect either side to do anything.
