Just read through everything here and thanks for posting your thoughts, sorry about being so vague on some of the topics.

With the language thing, with broadcaster language I meant the option in your twitch dashboard. Changing that would change the language requirement for the chat and everything which I think is bad for the team. Of course multiple languages are fine, as long as you don't change the setting.

About increasing the requirements, I don't mean in terms of skill. In fact, the skill requirement is very arbitrary in the first place, it's mostly there to make sure the person in question is actually "serious" about fangames and doesn't just play them for a week and never again just to leech hosts. When I talk about increasing the requirements I mostly just mean about their activity within the community, personally I don't know if it's a good idea to accept someone who no one knows about. The person should at least be semi-known within the community. Having a follower / viewer requirement? Absolutely not, I'm heavily against this. And finally about the requirements, having a watchable stream would be further incentivized.

People who are removed from the team would be able to instantly join back if they wish, without needing to apply or anything.

When it comes to banning follower alerts, this is mostly to tell people that follower alerts are bad and hurt you more than they help. Smaller streamers might not realize this and think that the alerts are actually helping. Banning follower alerts sort of helps these streamers understand.

Also a few of your questions are answered here, sorry I forgot to link it in the OP httpss://help.twitch.tv/customer/portal/articles/2508329

Hello everyone, a new Twitch feature was just released; auto hosting. What makes this a big deal is the fact that you can automatically host people that are in your Twitch team. I think this could be the perfect opportunity for us to strengthen our brand and help further support the smaller streamers in the community.

You can read about autohosting here httpss://blog.twitch.tv/grow-your-community-with-auto-hosting-e80c1460f6e1#.oobsqw3o0

First off, a bunch of questions pop upp immediately and I'll try my best to answer them.

The reason why I think we should do this is because once again this will significantly strengthen our brand and provide more of a reason to actually care about the twitch team. I'll be honest, right now the team feels rather meaningless, it's just there to show people that you're "hot stuff" or something. For example, if someone with next to no viewers is feeling bad then a massive host train could possibly cheer them up! Not to mention the other numerous benefits this would give.

Since this will increase the value of being in the team, I think we'll also have to make the team requirements more strict and overall require more professional attitude. Here are a few suggestions:
- Removal of inactive members (basically those who no longer exist within the community)
- Those who come back would not need to reapply and are able to rejoin instantly
- Make the whole "watchable stream" rule more strict
- Spend more time deciding whether the person in question is suitable to join (a small group of community managers would be great)
- Require english to be the broadcaster language (I.E the setting in your twitch dashboard, multiple language streams are still fine)
- Heavily discourage the use of follower alerts
- Heavily encourage all members of the team to use the autohosting

This is meant to be a discussion thread and this is not something that is set in stone. Please share your thoughts and this thread to get as many involved as possible, we need as many opinions and thoughts as we can get before we decide to pull the trigger on something as big as this. If you have any questions about this please post right away and we'll do our best to answer them.

Sounds neat but I fear the list would just be full of easy games no one runs instead of the more difficult and popular games

Added three more rules:

• If a game is not appropriate for streaming, you can skip it for free
• Non-games do not count towards the streak and are a free skip
• If you have already cleared the normal version of a game, and roll the easy version, you can choose to skip it for free or beat it to add 1 to your streak

Gameplay & Discussion / Roulette Streaks

« on: July 03, 2016, 08:13:08 AM »

Here's a fun thing I thought of; Roulette Streaks! Feel free to try it yourself and post your streaks in this thread.

Roulette streaks are basically like binding of isaac streaks, but for fangame roulette, here are the rules:

• Beating a game will increase your streak by 1
• You get to start with 3 skips, you gain another skip every 800 points
• Points are gained from the del-fruit difficulty rating after beating said game, beating a 75 difficulty game will give you 75 points
• If a game has no ratings, you can make up your own
• If you have already beaten the game before, you can choose to skip it for free or beat it again to add 1 to your streak
• If you have played the game before, but not finished it, you can continue where you left off
• Beating the extra content in a given game will give you double points
• If you skip a game, the streak will not increase

Keep in mind streaks are purely for fun, you can tweak the rules as you want to make it more fun for you

Your streak will end if you run out of skips and if you cannot beat the game.

Have fun!
