Flowers vs. Powers, Audio/Video Rollout, Beta Badges, Verification Badge Update
Attendees: Zach, Meggs
Full Audio/Video System Rollout
- Dropping this Friday
- Slow rollout depending on stability — if everything goes smoothly, everyone will be forced to switch to the new update within a week
- Rollout order will be random
Flowers vs. Powers
- New gifts dropping at 4pm PT
- 4 competing leaderboards: gifter & streamer, each for Flowers and Powers
- You can tell which gift is associated with which track by the icon next to the gift icon
- You can be on both leaderboards
- Will work on beta
- The daily reward will count toward different leaderboards each day
- No 1x multiplier this time — gifts that apply will change each day and won't be limited to unlockables only
- If you have an unlocked gift from a previous season, expect it to apply to next year's event
Beta Badges
- Will be tiered based on streaks during beta + other factors
- Beta program will be renamed to "Tester" program at some point
Verification Badge Update
- Coming to beta next week (hopefully)
- Will make it much easier to see which level you've achieved and which you're currently showing
- Verification is about to matter significantly
- There might be a way to merge accounts in the future — but don't count on it
- Limit of 3 verified accounts coming in the future
- ID submission required for verification — no exceptions
Coming Up
- World Cup activation
- Snipe the Summer — different rules this time, may be tested before launch
- Memorial Day gift

jaequee: Bigger creators are stealing game ideas and getting the credit
- Zach: In the future there will be a system for establishing game modes, but this is a pretty universal problem in social media
