Hi guys 
Cohh here.
It has been a big month here on the channel. We’ve just broken through 500,000 followers while also unlocking the max amount of emotes we can have. I just want to take a second to thank you guys for everything you’ve done for me and the community. It’s been humbling, to say the least.
However, it’s important to note that these aren’t really goals, but milestones. With every new follower the dedication of the team behind the channel only grows stronger. Every follow is a silent promise between me and you to deliver quality content that will always be evolving, growing and improving. I want to make sure you guys know how serious I am about that.
We’ve built a corner of the internet that, frankly, I didn’t think was possible. A bastion of positivity, good vibes and attempts to understand each other's perspectives; even when we have opposing views. With the help of my phenomenal moderation and infrastructure team, I plan on kicking this to the next level in 2016. In addition to the new tools, bots and community avenues we will be implementing, we will also be taking time to make sure that those who support this venture are rewarded by adding as much possible value to our Subscriber and Dual Subscriber systems.
Our first step is our new Community Giveaway system. Whenever a Community giveaway is performed, ALL ACTIVE DUAL SUBS will be entered into the giveaway automatically. They don’t even need to be present in the channel. Similar to our new NoClaim giveaways, the winner will receive a Twitch message and have 24 hours to claim their prize. If a winner does not claim (or want) the prize, it will be rerolled at the next available giveaway slot after 24 hours has passed. What this means is that Dual Subs will now be auto-entered into many extra giveaways per month which I feel really adds an extra bit of value to those that go out of there way to support the channel. This is just a first step in bringing value to you.
Again, I want to thank everyone, subscribers and followers alike, for getting us to this point. We’ve climbed mountains to get here and it’s only the beginning. Some of the new systems we’re designing have never been done before on Twitch, and we appreciate you guys bearing with us as we get everything constructed. I really can’t wait to show you some of these new systems and it’s hard not to talk about!
Next up on the channel is our Xenoblade Chronicles X playthrough starting on December 4th at 8am EST. If this game grabs my attention, you will most likely be seeing a serious run of everything the game has to offer. In addition to, and after, Xenoblades, we’ll be preparing for the slew of new games coming out in 2016; Dishonored 2, For Honor, Uncharted 4, No Man’s Sky and many, many more are all on the list. I can’t wait to learn and experience these games with you!
If there is one thing I want to end this on, it’s a request: if you enjoy the channel, if we bring you any modicum of enjoyment or if we’ve ever improved your day, I ask that you spread those good vibes to those around you. If you ever leave one of my casts with a smile, take that smile and spread it to someone else. Let’s make this community a place where everyone feels welcome and newcomers wish they had found earlier. I can’t do this alone. This isn’t a one man show. It’s a consolidated effort of thousands. And you’re a part of that.
Thanks for letting me live my dream, guys. I’ll do everything I can to make this count.
