Streamin' Through the Summer

Promo Description: With summer vacation fast approaching, and months lay ahead with plenty of NEXON gaming, come celebrate the start of the summer with Mabination's Streamin' Through the Summer Livestream Event. Hosted by Animeshadows, be sure to tune in for hours of music, joking around, comedy, and— of course— prizes! Throughout the day on the stream there will be various minigames in-chat and in-game for you to participate in. With over $100 in UGC prizes (Working on this with Osay in the next few months— STOP USING ADBLOCK ON THIS SITE!), you won't want to miss out!

Event Description: Streamin' Through the Summer is a livestream event hosted by myself, and will be advertised on Mabination, NEXON Forums, and in-game. A side goal of the event is to see if we can gain more traffic on Mabination, especially after we move to the new forum system. It requires an event staff, prize donors, and a cohost, which you can read about below. All technical aspects are generally handled by myself. At regular intervals, the stream will be interrupted by a video which outlines details of a minigame.

In-Game Minigame Sample:

In-Chat Minigame Sample (The example is Hangman. This graphic I threw together in about 10 minutes, so I don't have the voiceover or the words added. As the timer ticks down, the "blanks" will slowly fill. The first/second/third correct users gain points, incorrect guesses lose points):

Event History: I've held large-scale livestream events for New Years in a past community I left about a year ago. The second-annual stream had over $80 in prizes for UGC cards in addition to various art prizes donated by artists in the community (character sketches, avatar/signature sets, etc). I didn't want to hold a New Years stream on Mabination last/this year given I wasn't that-well known at the time. Now, with a few months to go until summer, we have this in mind— but I'll need the help of a few users.

Staff Positions:

In-game event judges from Ruairi, Tarlach, and Alexina — Responsible for judging events, such as the sampled event above.
Co-host — Somebody with a lovely personality and a webcam that can take over for me on the stream for a few minutes in the event of a computer malfunction, etc.
Chat moderators — Responsible for judging in-chat games, such as hangman, as well as suspending unruly users.
Event Donors — If you want, donate a prize to the event, such as an art commission or an UGC.


All-in-all, these events are really fun to hold. In the next few months, as we near the actual beginning of summer, a date will be set in stone. I'm talking to Osay about possible prizes MabiNation will want to donate, and its looking promising... :x If you are interested in helping, PLEASE tell me~! In addition, if you have ideas for games or general feedback, let me know below.

Oh this sounds really neat, but does will the stream air during a specific time? I would love to watch, but I'm only free after 5:30PM (-5 Eastern) during the summer.

Hey, can I apply as a Chat Moderator? I already have a minigame event in mind if you still have room for more and who knows, maybe if I find a summer job I can even donate.


The puzzle minigame will be based on Mabinogi of course.
It'll be something like this.

We'll be using custom URLs and the custom URLs link will lead to a hidden code and then the participants will be required to PM a chat moderator with the answer. If the Chat in the livestream doesn't allow PMs I guess they can PM the chat moderator or whoever they're supposed to contact on the forums (and this increases the site's traffic!)
Like for example.

Let's say the Custom URL is bit.ly/FN1Rua there will be questions that lead to the Custom URL link.
The questions will be
"Who is Mabinogi's most famous (rage inducing) blacksmith? First Letter of his/her name." (Ferghus)
"Who is Mabinogi's most famous female character? Hint: She has white hair. First letter of his/her name."(Nao)
"What Generation featured a quest that required you to hit snowmen to find a earring?"
Number only" (1)
"One of the sections in MabiNation. Bean ___. 3 letters." (Rua)
That link will lead to somewhere with a hidden code and then they PM the chat moderator/whoever with the answer.

People who give the answers in the chat will be disqualified and removed from future puzzle giveaways.

The first three users who PM the chat moderator/whoever gain points. There are no points taken if you get the wrong answer, because the puzzles will get harder as time goes by. **

* - Maybe we can make a private youtube videos and have the answers there or possibly have puu.sh links that displays the answers.
** - By this I don't mean the time they have to complete the puzzle. I mean that each puzzle will be harder than the previous one.

My streams are generally 12-14 hours long, beginning at 1pm Eastern/12pm Central and spanning until 1-3am Eastern, 12-2am Central. Events are spread throughout that period, with larger prizes offered later in the day.

Thank you for volunteering to be a chat moderator~! I'll put you down right away. Stay tuned to this thread or PMs for updates :x

Chat moderators (while active) cannot participate in In-chat games, but can participate in in-event games, so long as they are not an event judge. I want to get a few of each so that people can "rotate" and participate in at least some of the games.

You're on the list.
