So on November 12th, 2017 I got partnered on Twitch! A year has flown by already y’all! Still growing the channel and trying to hit some sub goals by the end of this anniversary month. So I’m doing a sub-athon for the month of November! I’m also traveling Nov 1-4 so the subathon may start a little early or run into December so it’s a full month long.

Here’s the image text for those that need a more accessible version:
- 250 Subscribers = I’ll play Friday the 13th with Subscribers (on PS4)
- 375 Subscribers = Long Co-op stream w/subscribers – Your choice and game key giveaways
- 500 Subscribers = Run a Dragon Age Tabletop session with subscribers (on or off stream)
- 750 Subscribers = 12 hour stream, subscribers picks the game and played game will rotate every 4 hours
- 1000 Subscribers = Nintendo Switch Giveaway -OR- $300 Gift Card to Amazon or Gamestop
- 2000 Subscribers = Fortnite* with Subscribers on PS4
So I have a bunch of twitch swag sitting around, so I’m adding in a prize pack of things you can’t go out and get on the Amazon Twitch store!

Includes:
- Twitch notebook
- Coloring book from TwitchCon 2018 Partner party
- “Hello My Twitch ID Is” sticker
- 4- Cypher Hi emote stickers
- G-Fuel Cup from TwitchCon 2018
- TwitchCon lanyard from TwitchCon 2018
- Twitch retro lunchbox from Twitch Partner Party, PAX East 2018
- INDG Enamel Pin
- D&D Official Water Bottle as a bonus
Also, the more subscribers we have, the more emote slots we unlock! So as we open more slots; subscribers can suggest emotes!
The way it works is as follows, sub points give you slots. Subscription points break down like this: A Twitch Prime or Tier 1 subscription is worth 1 sub point, a Tier two ($9.99) sub is worth two points, and a Tier 3 ($24.99) is worth six sub points! Currently we’re at 12 emote slots on the channel. We’re actually super close to unlocking the next tier (18 points as of this post)

Also, as a thank you to the community, subscribers of one year or more will be getting an enamel pin of the cypher1Coffee emote as a gift. 
Thanks for a great year and I’m looking forward to year 2!
* I never in a million years think I will get 2K subscribers so that was put there more as a joke because I also hate that the game is all people mention when they talk about streaming. If I DO manage it? Hell yeah I’ll play some Fortnite with folks, badly but I’ll play.
