50k Giveaway TONIGHT (11/22/16) @ 5 PM CST!!!

[Speedi]

Ok guys the time is here!

If you have been watching my stream ( https://www.twitch.tv/pro5pt0 ) you know at times I have been doing some random camps, and saving all the decent items I get for a big giveaway. Well that day has come!

As soon as I start my stream I will do random small giveaways about once every hour till the time comes.

The rolls will go like this ...

I will call out an item(s) and, also type the item name(s) in my stream. I will then say "ok pick a number between (xxx)." Then once everyone has picked a number I will random in game. Whoever picked a number thats closest to what I randomed wins!

Every item or package of items has a value of 1,000pp

Also, I would like to give a BIG thank you to the following people ...

Drumas: Donated 2 Black Sapphire Velium Necklaces.
Tilolian: Donated 1 pair of Golden Efreeti Boots.

I really hope the new players show up for this, because that is who I am focused on the most.

Anyway, I wish you all the best of luck and I hope to see you on the stream! Take care and god bless! :)

Is giving away in game items or plat for twitch follows allowed?

[Vasuki]

You guys seem harsh. People do this all the time and its not like he is doing anything bad. Noobies still get items and its not like they are forced to continue watching him.

Chill out.

[Baler]

False, there is potential financial compensation. Especially with no way to prove it's not rigged giveaways. As well as the fact that streamers need concurrent viewers to apply/be accepted for partnership. Giveaways like this help get their foot in the door. And getting partnered means you get paid real money.

There is a reason twitch has a whole set of rules that regulate giveaways. Legal measures can apply. Most streamers have no idea what they're agreeing to when they sign up.

Maybe OP isn't doing it for gains and just wants to be a good guy. But using twitch to do it isn't a selfless act of kindness.

People who stream Project1999 never get enough views to be partnered or w/e you are implying.

Yeah! How dare you reward the community for no real reason other than the kindness of your heart! You are a bad person, and you should feel bad!

I don't think you understood what I said.

[paulgiamatti]

You very obviously have absolutely no grasp of what it takes to actually earn money from Twitch.

[Speedi]

First winner is Jabrez!

Mithril Two handed Sword, SSoY, SSB, Kromzek Surveyor Scope

Enjoy man!

[William_Munny15]

He's got a nice set up , very enjoyable to watch! thumbs up for giving back to the community! Been watching and speedi seems like just a nice guy. Jeeze you guys will troll anything!

[Baler]

It isn't just the twitch angle. Giveaways in general are a potential *** problem. I was just adding the twitch info in as bolstering information. And for the record I understand twitch better then you ever will. I've been on it since 09.

[skarlorn]

hope this goes speedily

Trannies and Gentlemen we've got a badass in the house tonight /respect

[Lhancelot]

This from the guy who'll be crying in two replies about not being able to look up values of the items on P99Auctions...

That all you got bruv?

[Ashintar]

That all you got bruv?

Based on your recent posts... it was all I needed.

[AgentEpilot]

I can imagine him puffing his chest out and saying it in a grizzled voice that a trench veteran would muster.

[Lhancelot]

Not impressed. Try harder.

[paulgiamatti]

I've been on it since 09.

Seniority/brand loyalty plays no part in understanding the metrics behind stuff like this. To put things in perspective, Sirken could draw half of the server to his stream every Monday night for the rest of his life by doing Guise of the Deceiver raffles with the explicit intent of making money through a Twitch partnership, and he'd be lucky to see a single penny.

You can certainly accept donations. That's not RMT. If I make a thread to give away a hundred fungi tunics and then post a PayPal.me link at the end, that's completely legitimate. There's no prerequisite of payment. Would that be douchey? Absolutely. Is there any universe in which gaining Twitch followers from Project 1999 translates into income? Absolutely not.

It's totally shitty to post in someone's giveaway thread pointing out that it's "not entirely selfless" because he'll gain Twitch followers. If a best-selling author gives all of his book proceeds to charity, do you send him a letter saying how selfish it is because he's increasing his readership?

[Baler]

looking back at my posts I want to apologize to Speedi. I shouldn't have taken it where I did. It was unfair to create false pretenses in his thread. My complaints had no business being forced upon him and his thread. Sorry dude

I hope the lucky winners could use those items you gave out to them for free. Also promoting p99 is always good. I hope you continue stream!

[Lhancelot]

Kinda different though.

It would take a while to write a letter, send it to the book author, and chances are he'd never read it anyway.

The meta of twitch and followers of a stream is a bit different than readers of a book author and his proceeds going to charity.

I struggle to find a better way to explain it, but I just think this isn't quite as benign and goody goody as people make it seem.

Maybe I am just jaded and pessimistic, only seeing the possible bad elements of this but in the big picture it doesn't even matter, anyway.

I don't think the dude is getting rich off it, and I do think he does have good intentions and his acts are helpful to those that get things.

I just think he is using pixels to pander his twitch though and that kinda makes it taste bad.

[Vilkata]

I think its great especially on twitch. You never know how many people might run across his stream and then decide to check out the server.

[Lhancelot]

That's a good point, any possible exposure to the server is a good thing.

[ZiggyTheMuss]

Who the fuck watches Everquest on twitch?

[Priceline]

Who the fuck watches Everquest on twitch?

Dozens of people.. dozens

I must be old but the appeal of twitch baffles me completely, why would anyone watch someone else play a game, even worse when they have a vanity cam and you see their pasty skin illuminated by gentle glow of their monitors.

[Nycon43]

Thanks Speedi, appreciate your streams and you giving back! - Erser.

[soliste]

Thanks so much Speedi!

[EQBallzz]

That's some pretty sweet items given away and a lot of them. Enough for probably 3 events. Good job on the event and even better job ignoring the haters.

[jarlerop]

Don't hate. Appreciate!

[Croco]

This was fun and interesting. Thanks again Speedi!

One thing for next time as just a thought that maybe people should only be allowed to win once. That way more people win more stuff.

Otherwise very cool!

[Lammy]

Knowing Speedi... this is just a legitimately fun way for him to find joy playing P99 when he's already done it all.

[drktmplr12]

you guys that spent more than 5 minutes writing posts and spell/grammar checking them to shit on this thread...just wow..

[Bionic]

If you aren't watching Speedi's stream you are missing out. One of the most laid back and talented players on P99, imo.

Keep it up, Speedi!

[Nixtar]

Please do more of these. You're pissing off the right people. <3

[connect]

Let me get this straight, you went there purely to get free items, free pixels and you showed no support by NOT joining this dude's twitch?! How selfish and rude.

I am kidding, just kidding! You guy's need to lighten up, jeez!

[maskedmelon]

I did not watch and did not win. Pretty damn disappointed thh :/

[Tupakk]

I wish I could of stayed longer but RL got in the way. For His first big giveaway it looks like it went very well.

Welcome to the world of Giving.

This message was paid and brought to you by the proud sponsors of Dept of Fun.

[QFuzzle]

One of the definitions of the word "jaded" by Mirriam-Webster Dictionary:

"Made dull, apathetic, or cynical by experience or by surfeit."

From my experience being guilded with Speedi, he's an ultra nice guy. I'm proud of him for just not bothering to respond to the hate.

Also proud of Baler for re-examining what he said earlier in the thread (assuming he was sincere in his last post).

[The Daily Jupe]

Would love to know when the next give away is

[Lhancelot]

It's ok, you can come and read the forums and it's just as good as being there.

[Kreigor]

Ocelawt reporting in to say thank you for the GEB's and im sorry im such a new that i had to be picked up and brought to ec tunnels QHills but i honestly do love this game and plan to really put alot of time into it. Im a new dad and work a day job so my time is limited but when ever i get the chance to play i do

[Beebo]

Twitch sucks...I never donate or subscribe. Get a real job.

Twitch sucks...I never donate or subscribe. Get a real job.

A job can be made out of anything where a supply can be sold for a demand with a price. There has been a demand for entertainment for a very, very long time.

Other than people streaming themselves playing videos games for fun (and sometimes for zero profit), it can actually be made into a very lucrative "business" (and not just through donations and subscription).

Just remember, everytime you watch an ad on a streamer's channel, they get a little bit richer. ;)

[Red_Messiah]

Less than 1c per viewer per ad I heard.

[Burrito]

Last time I tried to do a giveaway on twitch I got banned for RMT

Not really though. It did raise some concerns though.

[Lhancelot]

I remember one time a guy was giving away free things in the ec tunnel on Live, and people were all mobbed around him hoping to get something for free. I also was there hoping I would get something, and of course I got nothing. Once the guy had given everything away we all meandered away.

I felt sad and pathetic.

Not because I didn't win anything, but because I felt like I traded my dignity for the possibility of some ingame items.

Now that I am older, I never grovel or want free things from others, not even in games I play.

Don't you guys that go to a live stream with the only motivation being you might get free pixels feel at all a bit pathetic?

[Beebo]

Ever heard of UBlock Origon or Adblock Plus? I don't watch any ads on my PC or my mobile device on ANY website I visit. Twitch is a home for neckbeard beggars and cam whores.

No one on P99 will become partnered with twitch. Mainly because its a private server. Secondly, doing giveaways entices people to watch your stream, and getting 30-50 viewers is nothing - its not like any of you are going to donate to a stream. So, he's just putting on a show that he isn't compensated for. If you think follows/views are compensation you're fucking stupid.

Concurrent viewers are what matters, and 300+ steadily at your normal streaming hours 3-5 days a week. No one will achieve that on p99, and as I stated above its against twitches ToS - you technically could have your twitch account banned. People like you are the ones jealous of twitch streamers because you can't afford hardware/decent internet and/or you have an ugly face or speech impediment.

I don't even play this game anymore, and all I ever see is self righteous pricks like you flooding the forums and taking your shit life out on other people. Honestly, no one gives a fuck anyway its the internet, but nearly all your posts are just shit. Pure fucking shit.

Sounds like someone's Twitch channel came up short for the light bill this month.
