Hello/ Last year I took part in a 24 hour live stream for 'extra life'. I had a lot of fun and a lot of memories came it from it. I plan to do it again this year but for Childs play instead.
The stream will start on the 26th of october around 21cet (When I get back from work) on my stream page which you can find here: www.twitch.tv/maksthebro
This is where I need your guys' help. My plan was to pub in between the major events (events for donators to take part in as a thank you for giving your money for the cause) however I will need 2 servers, one from america and one from Europe (if no one offers a euro server I should be able to get one). The reason I want one of each is because when I am streaming around 3am I doubt I will have any euro viewers so having a server with American players with 130+ ping is silly if they are the majority so a Us server would be nice and you I will make sure to make it up to you if you rent me a server.
Another thing I need is, is suggestions for the donator perks. I am doing this stream with a couple irl friends as well so we will come up with some things that involve us. However for the ones that involve you guys I am having some trouble and seeing as you're the ones giving the money I'll let you pick what you take part in.
I have one thing planned out which is a doublemix with Mirelin and Numlocked as the captains for each team. They've both agreed at that should be great fun.
But otherwise I'm stumped so any help would be appreciated and it doesn't have to be tf2 related bear in mind.
I will post a schedule closer to the stream but for now thank you for reading and please leave a suggestion.
Hope to see you there :D

Some donator perks could be playing in said doublemix with Numlocked and Mirelin(could also throw in some of the streamers as well to keep them hooked).
Maybe a raffle of signed stranges for donators as well?
Idk I'm boring :P

yeah the doublemix is for the top donators. I will also have a couple game keys to raffle off. and yeah hats/stranges+ whatnot would be cool if people don't mind donating some to be raffled

Tip of the hats is in march...
And charity events are fun. I'm pretty sure I'm not asking everyone to donate your entire bank account. My goal isn't that high just want to play games for a long amount of time and if I can help some children along the way, why not?
It should be a fun night and if you can drop some cash it will be very much appreciated and I do promise a fun night.

don't worry about the cashflow, as long as you are doing something you love and for a good cause it's fine

Hey guys... how about... if your finances are low... you don't donate?
It's not like somebody is forcing you (then it wouldn't be a donation)

I would pay to doublemix with mirelin but I'm shit at everything that's not med (which I'm only relatively less shit at). Also, ping (I'm NA).
I think some of it will depend on the atmosphere you're going for. "Donate for Maks to drunkenly sing his national anthem" would be funny, but only if you're mostly casual.
If you're mostly streaming yourselves PLAYING, rather than speccing, I think "donate to specify my class/loadout" is fun. "Right now I'm stuck running mantreads, rocket jumper and pain train. Please donate so I can do some actual damage!"
Potentially you could also do semi-public mentoring raffles. "Donate to see kaidus discuss rollouts" (actually don't do that because he did that for the i49 thing and the VODs are still available, but maybe something similar). Alternatively, "donate to have zebbosai review your team's demo on stream".
As for servers, I can provide either an NY server or a Chicago server, depending on which you want. (I, in conjunction with TrashedGamers, provided the servers for the PvP event (mine was the NY server), although they were being attacked that weekend, which was unfortunate).

The doublemix is gonna be played on a more EU friendly time so I was thinking ping should be too much of an issue. But somethign like that would be for really generous donators but I am trying to think of things for peopel who donate a lot that want to just do something a little more casual. I was thinking maybe a little draw my thing session with some popular dudes. I dunno.
I'm doing the event with several rl friends too. We're gonna come together and think of some good reasons for people so I will have more reasons soon.
For now if you could post some song requests for a playlist I will run through the stream. :)
