Pre-Event Streams to Qualify for Twitch Affiliate

Good day everyone - we'd like to invite you to a little housewarming! While we won't be conducting our first speedrun marathon until April, we do have the task of getting our Twitch Channel up to Affiliate status ahead of then. To do that, we need:

• 25 Followers (we have 17 at time of writing)
• Stream for 4 hours
• Stream on 4 different days
• Average of at least 3 viewers across all 4 streams

As such, we've devised this short schedule amongst us for this week:

02 February 2026 16:00 - 20:00 | Garlips
03 February 2026 16:00 - 19:00 | Lovenfloofen
04 February 2026 20:00 - 00:00 | Drakodan
05 February 2026 20:00 - 00:00 | NickRPGreen

The best way to help with this effort is to tune in to as many of the streams as you can, for as long as you can - and of course to share this with others who may enjoy watching. In the Discord we could even co-ordinate a guaranteed viewership to make sure we're hitting the average.

The content of the streams is going to be fairly typical to what each person usually streams, which will make for a lot of variety. We're excited for everyone to meet some of the team and drum up some pre-event hype, see you there!

Submissions close EOD Sunday 8th March, and we expect to publish the schedule a week later.

Finally, we have a proper logo! Huge thank you to @Garlips for his work on our feathery raven mascot. This likely won't be the final iteration of the logo, but we're all really pleased with the idea. We hope you love it!

There'll be a post on Bluesky shortly, which should automatically get posted in social-posts. Please do give it a like and repost it, we need to get it in front of as many eyes as possible!
