Note: the original thread has been locked. For those who wish to read up on how this formed and/or have nothing better to do, you can see that here.
THE RULES:
1. On November 1, PLAY YOUR VECTREX.
2. Make a note of what game(s) you played. Your name will also be needed as part of the record for the International Play Your Vectrex Day wiki page (see end).
These two things are mandatory. Everything else are bonuses, should you feel like going to the trouble:
3. Keep a record of your game(s’) score(s).
4. Take a photo and/or make a video of your score(s), your Vectrex/collection, even make a drawing or gif or something that is Vectrex-related if you want, even an audio recording of you playing (if a recorder is all you have), but this HAS to be done on this day. (This stuff can be turned in after November 1st, since the wiki page can be edited any day of the year, but at least do your playing/drawing/photos/whatever on this day. NOTE: this rule has been slightly changed; see the post after vectrexmad's. It is allowed to make a drawing, gif, take photos, etc. before this date, but will only be accepted as long as a person plays their Vectrex and turns in their name and game list.)
5. Send a link along to your YouTube channel or any other website you have (Facebook, Twitter) if you wish to promote it, just as long as whatever material on your website is work/family friendly (i. e. a PG-13 rating at worst).
The International Play Your Vectrex Day wiki page can be edited by anyone if they want to do it yourselves, I can be PMed with the information here or on my YouTube channel (which is on my profile page on these forums), an e-mail addy can be sent to me via either PM (along with any photos or anything else you wish to include), I can be contacted on on my profile page on the wiki, or it can be posted on this thread. You can use just your first name, full name, or an internet handle for the page, just try to keep it in alphabetical order, whatever it is that you choose to do (although I’ll be editing the page anyway as needed).
I also ask that any videos be linked to ONLY, NOT imbedded onto the page, since I just want a clean list without people having to scroll down with those making an untidy presentation. Any photos or drawings will be put in a separate gallery after the game listings (which is linked to at the end of this page). Any audio recordings will have to be put up on YouTube or some other hosting place since the Wikia company doesn’t allow soundclips to be hosted on their wikis.
An accompanying video should be released somewhere between October 10-15 on YouTube.
Official wiki page where all this will happen/you can see how it looks as this comes along:

Off to send this to various Vectrex sites now to spread the word

), plus it was sent to Spike's Big Vectrex Page, VectrexMad's site, and the Vectrex Museum. And posted at the Vectrex Newsgroup.
That's going to cut it too close. I want to draw in the "casual Vectrex crowd", as I call them, the ones that don't necessarily look at Vectrex sites (VectrexMad!'s site, vectrex.nl, Vectrex news group, etc.) on a regular basis, the ones that have the original games but none (or few) of the homebrews and the like. I have a digital recorder, which I could resort to making a Vectrex slideshow as I talked, but unfortunately something went out on the usb cord, so now I can't upload whatever it is I recorded onto the computer here!
