Hey everyone. We just want to thank you all again for joining us during the Fangame Marathon and we hope you enjoyed all the runs and races.
We have plans for the channel outside of the yearly FGM and wanted to talk it over with you all to get feedback before we go through with it. There are two things we really want to do with this channel: help existing fangamers get noticed more, and attract more members to the fangaming community.
We had ideas to do a few things to keep the channel active year round. The first and moremost is hosting Wannabes members to let viewers and those who have favorited the channel have a focus on the community at a much bigger rate, and will always keep the channel and the Wannabes members in the spotlight.
We are going to try to always keep the hosts on those with fewer members. That being said if you get a host on you, please be respectful as you will be representing the community at that moment to those watching.
In addition, if you would like to be excluded from being hosted by FGM please let us know and we'll add you to the exception list.
The second idea was having monthly events hosted on the channel to make it actually up and running to get more people to the channel itself rather than simply using it as a hosting hub in order to garner more follows. We were thinking about once a month hosting races and/or relays. The races you already know about, the relays would feature multiple members handing off one game (or groups of games) to the next person, with relay races being one team of relay racers going against the others in order to try and beat every game faster than the other.
For example, a Rainbow Medley Relay (8 games including Red, Like the Orange, Yellow Star, GReeeeN, Dark Blue, Purple Zone, Pink Egg, and Across the Rainbow) would have 8 runners on each team (or 4 runners playing 2 games each) could be one of them, or a Savage Mountain relay going a single stage, or a genre relay going through X amount of games in a single genre, or finally a multi-genre relay with 1-2 games from each one. The possibilities are endless.
In addition to that monthly event, in-between that we can have monthly Bingo/roulette events. This would mean that we'd have the channel active 2x a month, not too much to take away from the hosting but not sparse enough to keep the channel dead year-round.
These monthly events would utilize FGM's ability to keep multiple members in the spotlight at the same time by restreaming them just like in the actual marathon in addition to everything else the marathon did to help funnel people to the runners channels.
So there you have it. Let us know what you think and if you have any other comments or suggestions!
Game on.
-Mike
