Frag Dolls® Achieve Guinness World Record Following 24 Hours In Sin City!

Guinness World Records are delighted to announce the Frag Dolls® Guinness World Record achievement for the ‘Longest continuous play of a single FPS’, playing for over 24 hours at the i-33 on March 22. The video evidence has just been reviewed and we can today confirm their Guinness World Records status!

Ubisoft®’s Frag Dolls Kitt, Sarin and Jam defied terrorist threat and the evils of Alvarez Cabrero for over 24 hours playing Ubisoft’s latest hit video game ‘Tom Clancy’s Rainbow Six® Vegas 2’ while gaming fans kept them on their toes through XBOX Live® during the arduous feat!

Kitt said of her success: "I can't believe I'm a world record breaker! I'm brimming with pride that we've achieved this. I'd like to thank everyone who supported us, playing with us on Live and donating to Breakthrough Breast Cancer."

A video feature tracing the record attempt from start to finish is available here: http://www.gametrailers.com/player/32657.html

The girl’s achievement will be recorded for prosperity in the Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2009. Challengers to their title are welcome to apply to apply via http://gamers.guinnessworldrecords.com.

The all new Guinness World Records Gamer’s Edition 2008 is on sale now and is bursting with new records, high score statistics and fascinating facts.

pfft. i could do better

[fallen_nemesis]

I'd say that is actually fairly achievable.

I'd even go as far as to say I'd be prepared to break it if other folk were up for it I'm that confident.

[Ghostsuit]

I could break that easily. 24 hours I mean really give me a CS server with some players and we'd do that in a breeze.

[Largest of Als]

Well.. go on then.... think of the publicity for the site..

COD4. all the way. get it sorted forbes

[fallen_nemesis]

I'd need to sort out a loan of an Xbox 360 or go to someones with one. But I don't think in all honesty it could be that diffult.

All world record challenges like this as far as I'm aware allow for food and toilet breaks. I'm sure the guy that was on the rollercoaster for days was even allowed an hour's sleep a day.

I can go for 2 or 3 days without sleep when I've got insomnia. it's not pretty, but it's doable. Especially if it's just to break 24hours. You just need to get to the stage of being so tired you feel awake again

...and have Jolt and relentless on standby.

.... we could ask Rockstar nicely to sponsor it/ pimp it

[bugpowderdust]

Yep, easily do-able. Bring it on. COD 4 plskthnx.

I'd be interested to see an analysis of their skill levels throughout! I imagine it getting steadily better up to a peak about 2 or 3 hours in, maintaining that for a while, gradually getting worse due to tiredness, then getting insanely awesome once the caffiene, taurine and sugar kick in.

[Draven]

I play games 24 hours straight recreationally...

But yeah, it does sound rather breakable. What's this COD4 thing? I seen a mention of it somewhere else.

We could really fuck them up by breaking their record before the book goes to print, that would really piss them off...

[bikuki]

I'd be well up for trying to beat that - 24hrs would be EASY.

So you want to break a gaming record – here’s what you need to do.

Decide what record you’re going to break, and make sure you can do it.

Do your research. There are some world record attempts that we don’t recognise for various reasons, so it’s worth going here to make sure we’ll accept your record. It’d be a shame to miss out on a Guinness World Record because of a technicality.
Before you do anything else, tell us who you are here. Then login and tell us what you’re planning to do. We’ll send you an agreement to sign which sets out how we approve records and what happens if you’re successful.
Send us the signed agreement (fax or scanned email is fine). Once that’s done, we’ll get in touch with you to let you know the guidelines for the attempt, and if there’s an existing record you need to beat. In some cases, we may have to reject your claim but we’ll always let you know why.
Carry out your record attempt. For us to consider an attempt as valid, you’ll need to convince us that your claim is for real. We insist on the following as a minimum:
An Audience
Normally a record attempt needs to be carried out in front of an audience of 5 of more people (your friends are fine for this).
Two Witnesses
You’ll also need two witnesses who are prepared to testify that you’ve actually done what you claim. Both witnesses need to be over 18 and we’ll need some evidence of their integrity (for example, they may have some standing in the local community, or be associated with a profession). Also, at least one of them has to be considered an expert in video games - the manager of your local video games store is a good example, but we’ll also accept journalists, programmers, designers, or publishers. We find many video games stores are happy to host a world record attempt so don’t be afraid to ask!
Send us the proof. Once the record attempt has taken place, you need to let us know how you did. For us to consider your record, you’ll need to send us hard copies of the following:
The footage
A video (DVD format) of the entire record attempt from start to finish. Make sure it’s as high-quality as possible - we may reject your claim if the footage isn’t clear enough.
Witness statements
We need a signed statement from each of your witnesses that details exactly what they saw you do, including times, scores, dates and the location where your attempt took place. Each statement needs to be on letterheaded paper from the witness’ company, and include their contact details.
Photos
You’ll need to include some photographs of the attempt in progress, and of the venue where it took place.
Screenshots
If your record is of an in-game achievement, you can support your entry with screenshots. While we don’t use these as evidence (they’re too easy to tamper with), we may use them to illustrate you achievement on our website or in the book if we approve it.
Any other supporting evidence
If there’s anything else that you’d like to submit that you think will help us determine that your claim is the real deal, feel free to include it, but bear in mind we can’t return anything you send us.
Leave it to us, but remember that our word is final. In most cases, we’ll approve your record based on the evidence you send us, but sometimes we may ask for more info, or even invite you to attend an official Guinness World Records adjudication to verify your claim in person.
We send you a certificate celebrating your achievement. You bask in the glory of being a Guinness World Record holder!

sounds simple enough

Cod4 = Call of Duty 4

[Witch]

24 hours, stick coffee on and this is easy

[fallen_nemesis]

i'd like to know if it prohibits the use of stimulants like caffeine and taurine though. Could make a difference. Not to how doable it is, but to how well you play / how difficult it is

Well I know that they do drug tests and stuff for offical ones, course whats classed as drugs in these situations would be up to them.
