Bumping cuz inactivity
A draft of the schedule is done, and the games we've decided to cut are as follows:
Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped, Any% No Item Glitch - The runner's PB is not fast enough to give a good showing about the run The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Any% No Amiibo - No recorded times of the game #BlameNiku Burnout 2: Point of Impact, All Crash Zones & Championship Any% - After watching the VOD, we've come to the conclusion to not include the categories Burnout 3: Takedown, Any% - The run is too long for a racing game Super Mario 63, Any% - A 12 minute flash fan game isn't really what we're looking for
We've added 5 minute setup times for every game in the schedule, so that's why our the estimates might be different than what the runners submitted.
Hype kasvaa, oletko valmis?
Bracelets for attendees and visitors can be found in the info table.
Brormanis, Elgu and Shrimp will get their air mattresses on-site tomorrow.
Guest signups will close at the end of this week, so be quick!

FinnRuns3 will be the first time International runners can attend the event. With this in mind, this thread will focus on giving info about traveling to Finland, and how to travel in Finland.
- Traveling to Finland -
- The best way to arrive to Finland will be by flying to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport. Helsinki-Vantaa is the biggest and most common airport when it comes to Finnish people flying abroad. A good place to look for plane tickets is Skyscanner.
- If you're from Russia (with love), you can use the Finnish train company VR to travel from Moscow and/or St. Petersburg to Finland, switch trains when in Finland, and go straight to Kuopio.
- Traveling in Finland -
- After arriving to Helsinki-Vantaa Airport, you can use the newly built train connections (Ring Rail) to get to the Helsinki Train Station. Alternatively, you should be able to get a bus ride, or if there are any FinnRunners in the Helsinki area, they might be able to pick you up and point you in the right direction or even travel with you all the way to Kuopio.
- The Finnish train company is called VR. If you want to travel to Kuopio by train, this is the only way to do it. You can book tickets from the airport to Kuopio, but you're going to have to switch trains once, twice or even three times if you're unlucky.
- Flying from Helsinki-Vantaa to Kuopio is possible, but a one way ticket is going to be super expensive (over 300 euros). "Roundtrip" tickets look like they're about 100 euros, but this is something that just doesn't make sense to us and will not confirm 100%.
- There are two bus companies we're recommending: Matkahuolto and Onnibus. The ride by bus is about 5 to 7 hours long. Matkahuolto tickets from Helsinki to Kuopio will cost about 30 euros, while Onnibus will get you to Kuopio with only 8 to 14 euros. Onnibus is a very good choice, if you're really low on money.
Feel free to ask us anything, correct us if we're wrong (#blameniku) and talk about possible group rides and ridesharing. We're also updating this thread with info about people who want/need a group ride/rideshare and people who are offering such deals.
Two Worlds:
There's literally only one thing that can have a donation incentive and that's in the character creation.
It could be a huge bid war extravaganza: Small Chest vs. Huge Chest Short Body vs. Tall Body Short Arms vs. Long Arms Short Legs vs. Long Legs
or
I'll start the character creation from the smallest/shortest options, and the more money a body part gets, the larger/longer the body part goes (max. 100 dollars each)
Count me in on Mafia!

After talking with SeductiveSpatula, we've come to the conclusion that I'll be playing Two Worlds and he's gonna do couch commentary.
