| Okay, since it's been set, I really haven't heard anything about it being broken, it being the world record for a dance machine marathon. My friend, along with myself have really been pushing ourselves to the limits over the past six weeks while waiting for an email from guiness. Well, needless to say, I finally got the email, to bad the idiots mistaked my "dance MACHINE marathon" record for "dance marathon", so instead of playing DDR, they want me to do the waltz for four days, which I hope isn't the DDR record. So I say, seeing DDRFreak is just about the main source of DDR online, that you guys host the World Record yourselves, and set guidelines. It obviously wouldn't be the official world record, but if you want that, you can deal with the fogeys at Guiness. You could use the same guidelines that guiness set out and what not, but yea, that's my proposal. Do with it as you please. |

Then is there really a point? Why is someone going to want to play for 72 hours and not have it recognized by anyone outside this site?

Kinda sounds like you just want someone else to do the work for you. But reading your story, hell, all you did was send them an email and wait for a reply. If you're really motivated enough to do something like this marathon, it seems odd that you're so lackadaisical in your approach to Guiness. |

and, wrong.
I spent over three hours writing up a detailed email/proposal to guiness. If you've actually been on the site you know they can take a while to write up. When they sent me the email I got, I was enfuriated because it had nothing to do with what I had explained.
Who cares if guiness doesn't recognize it? This is the DDR site of the internet, if they recognize it you would probably get more respect here than through a record book. |

C'mon, even you don't believe that... otherwise you wouldn't have gone to Guiness in the first place. |

Mantis, (or anyone else), according to that site, the world record for DDR 7th is a 5 song total score of 652,095,760 pts. Is that good? I never usually look at the score, I just see who got the most perfects out of me and my buds playing. Some how that record sounds sort of weak.
=EDIT=
Extreme is even less. Just 567,871,975 pts. Maybe this is a lot and I just don't know what I'm talking about. Can someone give me a reference?
