Gamers verbreken wereldrecord non-stop gaming - update

daarom eten we dat niet. Daar komt bij dat je het hele punt van die wedstrijd omzeilt: de winnaar van die wedstrijd is diegene die het langst non-stop (klik hier eens voor de lol op) kan gamen, en pauzes horen gewoon niet thuis op zo'n wedstrijd.

Ethical issues and safety concerns
Steven Petrosino drinking 500 ml beer in 1.3 seconds in June 1977.[14][15] Guinness accepted only the record for one litre, but later dropped all beer and alcohol records from their compendium in 1991.

Several world records that were once included in the book have been removed for ethical reasons. By publishing world records in a category, the book may encourage others to try to beat that record, even at the expense of their own health and safety. For example, following publication of a "heaviest cat" record, many cat owners overfed their pets beyond the bounds of what was healthy, so entries such as these were removed.[16] The Guinness Book also dropped records within their "eating and drinking records" section of Human Achievements in 1991 over concerns that potential competitors could do harm to themselves and expose the publisher to potential litigation.[17] These changes included the removal of all liquor, wine and beer drinking records, along with other unusual records for consuming such unlikely things as bicycles and trees.[17] Other records, such as sword swallowing and rally driving (on public roads), were closed from further entry as the current holders had performed beyond what are considered safe human tolerance levels. Earlier editions also made reference to former King Zog of Albania holding the world record for amount of cigarettes consumed being c.300 per day.[citation needed]

There have been instances of closed records being reopened. For example, the sword swallowing record was listed as closed in 1990 Guinness Book of World Records, but the Guinness World Records Primetime TV show, which started in 1998, accepted three sword swallowing challenges (and so did the 2007 edition of the Guinness World Records onwards).

Chain letters are also not allowed. "Guinness World Records does not accept any records relating to chain letters, sent by post or e-mail. If you receive a letter or an e-mail, which may promise to publish the names of all those who send it on, please destroy it, it is a hoax. No matter if it says that Guinness World Records and the postal service are involved, they are not."[18]
