Speaking of giveaways, I'm giving away an Aegis Avenger spaceship tonight and it may or may not require the usage of a form of currency known as Captain Richard Credits for entry, which may or may not be earned by watching my stream and playing chat games while watching said stream. There is the distinct possibility that those who have been watching for an exceptionally long time may or may not have a slight advantage over those who might possibly tune in for the very first time tonight.
Furthermore, I might be the reanimated corpse of Billy Mays with attention deficiency issues. This and more at 9pm EDT, only on Twitch.
/hides from Star Pilgrim. :D
I am not stream police, so don't worry.
I have watched your streams, and I like most of them.
So keep on doing what you do. :)
I realize that this is the format by most any twitch streamer today and it has become accepted by people who watch the streams.
It is entirely up to the streamer how he wishes to have giveaways handled and if currency is to be used in order to reward regular "customers" / those who watch streams regularly.
But if you are advertising in the main CIG forums, it is fair to include this "fact" in the small print or rules section, even.
You keep regular viewers because they like your personality and what you show them, not because of any giveaway.
And you get new people mostly by word of mouth and "fair and enticing" promotions / advertisements.
