STARVIVOR RULES

General Rules

This server is a safe space for everyone, especially BIPOC and QTPOC. Any hateful language will result in immediate removal from the server. THIS IS A ZERO TOLERANCE POLICY. We will remove you no questions asked.

NO cross team communication is allowed related to the game. If you are caught doing this, you will be given a strike or even removed depending on the severity.

Players may be given a strike for not voting or submitting a challenge without letting the hosts know. If you receive 3 strikes, you will be removed from the game (and not eligible for Jury).

The hosts’ calls are final. We may make mistakes/typos throughout the season, but our ruling will be final on any judgment calls.

We have a ZERO tolerance policy for misgendering here. Everyone should get their pronoun reactions in Role Requests, and you can use those to ensure you are using the right pronouns. You may also use the ?pronouns command to find out everyone’s pronouns.

DO NOT send screenshots in any channel or into anybody’s DMs. Screenshots are allowed ONLY IN YOUR DIARY ROOM CHATS OR YOUR SUBMISSION CHAT. If you send a screenshot, you may receive a strike or worse depending on the severity of the Screenshot. This will ultimately be up to the hosting team.

Alliances

Alliances may be requested! If you’d like an alliance, ping the hosts with who you would like to be in an alliance with and what you would like the alliance to be called. You cannot be in an alliance with any members of an opposing team.

If in the event of a swap/something similar, and one of the players in your alliance ends up on a different Kingdom than you, the alliance will be temporarily closed.

Challenges

There are two types of challenges this season: Immunity Challenges and Reward Challenges:

Reward Challenges are for a reward. These will usually be optional unless otherwise stated.

Immunity Challenges are for immunity from Kingdom Council. During the Pre-Merge phase of the game, you will be competing with your team in team challenges to win immunity. In the Merge phase of the game, you will compete individually for immunity. Only one person will win Individual Immunity each round during the Merge phase of the game (unless otherwise stated).

Please submit anything related to challenges in your submission chats! We will not accept any challenge submissions sent in your confessional chat.

Cheating on a challenge in any form is not allowed. If you have any questions about a challenge and the various potential unconventional ways you may want to approach it, ping a host and we will let you know if your approach is acceptable or not.

Details to challenges will be posted in each challenge’s respective post. If you have any questions, feel free to ping the Hosts and we’ll try to answer your question ASAP!

Failure to submit a challenge without letting the hosts know in advance will result in a strike. If you are unable to complete a challenge, you can let the hosts know and abstain, which will not give you a strike!

Kingdom Council

During the Pre-Merge phase of the game, the Kingdom(s) who lost the Immunity Challenge will attend Kingdom Council. During the Merge phase of the game, everyone will attend Kingdom Council. Every player attending a Kingdom Council will have one vote to cast (not counting if any advantages are played). You are casting your vote for who you would like to be eliminated.

Submit your vote in your Submission chat. Your vote can be changed as many times as you would like before the deadline.

Failing to submit a vote will get you a strike as well as a self-vote.

Kingdom Councils will be held live on Streamyard at 9:30 pm EST unless otherwise stated. They are not required to attend but highly recommended! Votes are due and lock after the voting music plays at Kingdom Council.

If you wish to play an advantage, the opportunity will be presented after the music ends/votes lock and before the votes are read (unless otherwise stated on said advantage).

Tiebreakers

In the event of a tie at Kingdom Council, non-tied players will revote, and will only be able to vote for the tied players. If this vote ties again, the tied players along with anyone who may be immune (from individual immunity, playing an immunity idol, etc.) will become immune. The non-immune players will then draw rocks (a host will use General Purpose Org Bot or Pancake) to determine who will be eliminated. Whoever draws the odd rock out will be eliminated from the game.

If the vote ties at Final 4, the two tied players will compete in a firemaking challenge. The loser of this firemaking challenge will be eliminated from the game.

Advantages

There will be info on how you can gain advantages in this game released soon after cast reveal!

Details about advantages will be given out to whoever possesses them. You are allowed to share these, but you can also choose to keep them secret.

If you are unable to attend council live, you may pre-play advantages by letting the hosts know in your submission chat. This decision will lock when the music stops at Kingdom Council.

Confessionals

Your confessional chat is the place where you can freely talk about your game! You may have up to 2 guests in your confessional. Please give the discord tag of the guests you would like to add to the hosts and we will add them as soon as we can!

We also are encouraging players to make confessionals throughout the season. These will not be mandatory, but are highly encouraged! To submit a confessional, use the ?confessional command, which will trigger a Google Form where you can confess! You may submit confessionals in any format you wish (text/audio/video). These will be shared after the season to everyone, and are only available for the hosts/interns to see during the season. This is where you can tell us what is going on in your game!

Viewing Lounge Diary Rooms (VLDRs)

VLDRs are a great way to send a message to the viewing lounge! To send a VLDR, post whatever you want to say (text/video/audio) in your submission chat, and react to it with a Star emoji! When a host sees it, they will also react with the star emoji to your post, which will then send it to the viewing lounge. If you don’t see that a host has reacted to it, please feel free to remind us (we forget sometimes)!

Production has the right to not send any VLDRs that we deem as inappropriate. We will not send VLDRs that include anything we deem to be harmful or problematic, as this is a safe space for ALL.

The most important rule...HAVE FUN!

We are so excited for all of you to be playing this season! Let us know if you have any questions about these rules or about anything during the season. GOOD LUCK!!!

Usb loopback cable

#Usb loopback cable install

#Usb loopback cable download

You can have near-end loopback, where you make the loop at the outbound interface on a device, and far-end loopback, where you make the loop at the distant end of a circuit or at progressive points on the way to the distant end. This enables you to do a simple bit by bit test that you're receiving what you send, or calculate statistics like bit error rate on the raw physical medium. It means, usually physically, looping the communications medium back on itself so that anything you send out as a transmission comes immediately back to you, unaltered, as a receive signal. And of the responders, only mikeselectricstuff seems to understand what "loopback" means. I suppose some USB PHYs may have some sort of loopback-like test mode but I've never looked for or noticed one. USB being having an intrinsically master/slave relationship between hosts and devices it isn't really possible to do a meaningful loopback test. As always you can reach out to with additional questions about this process, or anything else tech related to your show at Phill圜AM.Well you could try opening the data sheet for the LAN8742 (presuming that is the PHY chip you're using, you mention it but you don't actually say) search for the word "loopback" and you'll find both the control register bits to enable near and far end loopback modes, and descriptions. We’ve got a whole tutorial on advanced screensharing for clip playback in Streamyard using VLC so be sure to check that out if you're going to use this audio loopback for Streamyard. VLC Player is a program that you can set audio outputs for independently which is extremely useful for screensharing video clips into Streamyard without messing up the rest of your sound. Instead, leave Zoom/Streamyard feeding directly to your headphones and set either the system overall, or the specific application you’re sharing, to output to that Multi-output device. This is because you would wind up sending everyone on the call their own audio right back on a slight delay and that will really mess with them. For one, you’re pretty much never going to want to set your Zoom or Streamyard speakers to that Multi-output device or to the VB-Cable directly. So that’s the bulk of it! There a few more issues to be aware of though.

#Usb loopback cable download

It’s called VB-Cable Virtual Audio and you can find the download page by clicking here. So let’s turn to a program that’s free, works on Macs and PCs and installs safely with just a few clicks.

#Usb loopback cable install

Soundflower has been the gold standard for years, but it’s Mac only and if you try to install it these days you have to override Mac’s newest security guidelines just to trick it into installing. There’s even one that’s actually called " Loopback" but it costs quite a bit of money, so let’s ignore that one. That’s where installing a third party loopback application comes in handy. Streamyard also has a solution but it only works with Chrome tabs, so if you need to share sound from another program (like say Premiere for a tutorial!) you’re out of luck. Zoom has their own proprietary solution to this that auto-installs at the time that you install Zoom, but its actual quality isn’t fantastic. So let’s break it down.įirst, why would you need this? Well, anytime you’re screensharing content over services like Zoom or Streamyard that includes audio, you’ll need loopback sound of some kind. It can wind up being a kind of tricky concept, but it has myriad uses, especially in the days of social distancing. This is the concept of virtualy routing the audio out from your computer directly to a destination without needing any cables or additional hardware.

#Repost @kinkysudz I had this beer during the latest and first streamyard streamed episode of @blacknerdfridays. This beer was brewed by @dubco_ and is called Abuse of Science 2. This beer is an Imperial IPA sitting at 11% ABV. This beer was a bright apricot . Well drinking the beer and reflecting on the name abuse of science, it made me think about the atrocities that Black people have endured at the hands of science leading to mistrust of science within the Black community. When one learns about Tuskegee Experiment where Black men had their syphilis untreated to investigate its long term effects even after treatment was widely available (this experiment ran for 40 years) or the father of Gynecology experimenting on enslaved Black women without anesthesia, or the fact that Henrietta Lacks cervical cells were taken without consent and was used in research leading to the discovery of many therapies and Nobel prizes - it's not hard to see why the mistrust is there. . But in addition to these, we also see old paradigms still influencing our modern medical system - race factor in equations used in many lab tests used to diagnosis diseases, Black mothers being ignored and dying due to the idea that they feel less pain, socioeconomic difficulties in accessing medical care. The list goes on and on. . As a former scientist and currently working in the clinical trial field, I've strived to be a voice that holds these companies accountable. With thousands of clinical trials being held, Blacks only represent ~5% of participants yet they push these drugs on Black people without proper testing of safety and efficacy. At my current job, I help design studies that are patient centric - are we going to diverse communities, are we providing compensation and support, are we being transparent about the trial? Just like breweries many pharma companies are pushing D&I initiatives and I plan to hold them accountable! . . #kinkysudz #blackpeoplelovebeer #blackstories #blackhistory #blackscientist #clinicaltrials #blackatrocities #abuseofscience #diversity #trueinclusion #neverfotget #forgottenhistory #talkitliveit #seeushearus #dubco #ipas #craftbeerjunkie #blacknerdfridays https://www.instagram.com/p/COvZ6uvrW5c/?igshid=9gunvip4r6cv

How I Make Money As A Writer Part 3: Non-writing Formats

Patrons received this post 5 days early.

In this day and age, as I am sure I have complained about before, simply writing is not always enough to get by on. Sure, there are some individuals who do that and tend to be just fine, but simply put, I am not one of those individuals. I am amongst the individuals who have long since accepted that we need to market ourselves on top of simply marketing our books, and in this case, we may need writing- adjacent side hustles. I know there are far more options than the ones I will discuss here, but for now, I will tell you about a few different methods I have done myself. We will discuss streaming, YouTube, and merch shops for now. I know some people may profit off of conversational podcasts or writing Instagrams that turn a profit, but I am simply not one of those types. As with the other two articles I wrote, I will try and stick to what I know.

Firstly, we will talk about streaming. Streaming is such a growing market, especially as we are all stuck inside seeking content to consume and a community to find ourselves in. Yes, the pandemic has been a disaster for many industries, but it has been a blessing in media and content creation for those who can work from home. I know that I personally heard about Twitch streaming for writers from Kate Cavanaugh. I found her YouTube channel, where she talked about her Twitch channel, where I found a huge community of other writers. Now, to clarify, the Writers category is actually pretty small compared to many of the gaming categories, but the community is wonderfully welcoming and supportive to newcomers. I know that when I started out streaming myself, I felt like I was constantly being promoted by others in the category, to the point where I have made some friends, some very close friends even.

So, how do you get started with streaming? The obvious answer is that you need some software. I personally use Streamlabs OBS, but I know some others use StreamYards, some use the built into Twitch program. If you are not all that interested in spending an entire afternoon figuring out what you are doing, StreamYards is the quickest to pick up. There is no download required, as it is all web based, but it has limited functionality. The last I used the software, you could do screenshare and display messages from your chatbox on the screen, but that was about it. However, one of the major benefits of StreamYards is that you can have multiple people on stream, like a video call. This has been incredibly useful for co-hosting and the like. I used it when a friend on YouTube hosted me for her stream and we discussed various topics about writing, working, and mental health between writing sprints.

If you plan on having simple streams and are interested in multiple hosts, or even just want to try going live to see how it feels without much commitment, StreamYards is the way to go.

The software I currently use is Streamlabs OBS, shortened to OBS. This software really is the software that has it all. It has nearly infinite possibilities for what you can create with it, limited by the power of your computer and your patience levels. It has game capture functions, you can capture multiple windows at a time, you can create slide show images, display chat boxes and alert boxes, it has it all. With an external program (I use Snaz, it is a very small file and so simple) you can even have a timer or countdown right on the page. Most of the streamers you see with a lot of different elements going on, or even a few elements with maybe a custom background, use OBS.

Now, it is truly wonderful and I highly recommend it to anyone trying out, but there are a few setbacks. The biggest of which being that it is a little tricky to learn right off the bat. When I started out, I did not start with anything simple, no, I went out the door absurdly ambitious and wanting to do it all.

Mind you, we are here to learn from my mistakes, right? We are not here to read about the smart way I did things.

YouTube, as well as the OBS site itself, and Twitch guides, became my best friend when it came to starting out with OBS. Since there are so many tools, and it seems like more are almost constantly being added, it is easy to be overwhelmed. It took me probably a few days, and a few disastrous streams, to find something I was more or less content with, and even more than that to find something I was actually happy with. As it stands, I feel like I am nearly constantly tweaking elements here and there to fine tune what I am working with. It does not have a simple format for co-hosting, but with window capture, or a discord extension, there are ways to make it work, should you have the patience for it.

However, despite my warnings, the software is actually fairly straightforward once you figure it out. I can throw together a slide in a matter of minutes, and I know exactly how to make it all work the way I want it to. I have created my brand and my personal aesthetics on the software, and it works perfectly.

An added bonus to OBS is that it is so popular, so it is not difficult to find a person or two willing to answer a few questions.

So, after you choose your software and are happy with how it looks, how does a writing stream work?

Well, naturally, that is up to you. Personally, I like to do writing sprints, where we have a timer set for x number of minutes, and we just work until the timer runs out. I have my word doc open and window captured so my viewers can see me typing away, but small enough that they can’t read it- unless they have an absurdly large monitor. I’ve been told at least one of my viewers can indeed read my screen. (I am actually writing this article live- hello to my Collaflowers who may be reading this live!) I do not have any music on my streams, though some people do. I listen to my own music while I work, but the audio for my streams during the sprints is just me typing away. I know some people do use music during their sprints, but it is all up to personal preference. I’ve been told that my viewers like hearing the typing sounds when I write. Between sprints we chat a bit, usually my cat makes an appearance, then it is back to work.

I know other writers do not utilize sprints. Some simply work in between chatting with their chatbox. More power to them- I simply cannot keep changing my focus like that. There are also writers who do not show their work onscreen, everyone likes their setup a little differently.

Ok, now the big question: How do you make money as a streamer? Well, that is a bit complicated. There is a Twitch subscription that viewers can do, but you need to reach a certain threshold a month, or you never see a cent of that subscription. If I remember correctly, in my country, it is $100Can a month. Personally, I have never reached that threshold. Instead, I redirect my viewers to my Patreon, which I have covered in a previous article, or to my merch shop, which I will talk about later on, if they want to support me directly. Don’t get me wrong- there are some individuals who do indeed make money off their Twitch subscribers, it is just difficult.

Now on to YouTube. I feel like many of us already know how YouTubers make their money- off of ad revenue mostly. Much like streaming, it can be difficult to become monetized because you need to, once again, reach a certain threshold. I did a quick google search, and a video needs to have about 1000 views to make between $4USD and $18USD. I am having a difficult time figuring out how many views it takes to get ads on your videos, or how to slap an ad on there, but it sounds like the income is actually based on clicks on the ad as opposed to the views. This information may be outdated, but it is surprisingly difficult to find information that is up to date.

The trick with YouTube is to get your videos in front of viewers. On Twitch, if you stream under the Writers category, you get the benefit of being in a relatively small market with not that many options for viewers. On YouTube, the challenge becomes making a voice for yourself in a fairly heavily saturated market. Many people make the videos because they love it, and that is really how it should start out. A passion for what you create shows, and makes for a good video. There are also a variety of algorithmic factors that, frankly, I don’t understand at all, but the consensus is that if you make good content, consistently, then you will get at least a little attention.

\In case it is not painfully obvious, I do not make YouTube videos, I stream. The permanence of a YouTube video, as well as the time and energy that needs to go into editing and all that terrifies me.

Let’s weigh the two formats against each other, shall we? Streaming gives you less room for error, but at the same time, slipping up or making mistakes or being goofy is expected, if not encouraged. If someone sits down to watch a 2hr stream, or however long you go for, odds are, they are there for the personality. They want the interaction with the content creator. On the other hand, it’s a commitment to sit down to a stream. It is not unheard of for viewers to jump from streamer to streamer looking for one that catches their eye. If you are not doing something in that moment that they like, then you may very well not get that viewer.

YouTube, on the other hand, is expected to be more polished, and usually more short form. I know there have been trends favouring longer videos, then favouring shorter ones, then full episodes became the norm, then YouTube shorts became a thing, so it is all a matter of keeping up with the trends. Truth be told, I barely understand how the trends work. The only things I have done on YouTube are private videos for my Patreon and streams, so I am far from monetized.

One thing I will warn about YouTube streaming is that it actually can hurt a content creators algorithm, as streams simply cannot have as many ads on it. That not to say don’t stream- streams can be fantastic ways to engage with your viewership, just make sure you are cranking out plenty of videos as well.

The last thing that we will go over here is merch. Now, this is a tricky one to crack into, but as someone who has tried it three times now and is only now successful, I feel like I am more or less qualitied to talk about it.

The type of merch you create will be very heavily dependent on what type of following you have. My first (and second) merch shop were more or less wrapped around a mascot we had, for the first one, and around my cat for the second one, since those seemed to be two things my viewers enjoyed. However, what I did not realize at the time was that I was simply too small of a creator to have merch specifically branded to me sell very well. The audience for it was entirely limited to my viewers, and narrowed down even more to my followers who were into that particular branding and were willing to spend for it.

I also did not know what platform to use for merch. I used CafePress for the first two, which proved to be, while versatile, not the most user friendly. It was also not very well known, which limited anyone who may stumble across my products without knowing me. Needless to say I did not sell a thing.

My third attempt, however, I think I figured it out. The first thing I did was rebrand entirely. I was actually already in the process of rebranding my stream, unrelated to the merch shop, so I was able to use the rebranding to my benefit. I think L.J. Stanton has my links below so you can see how I made my stream aesthetic more uniform. I extended it to my merch- it is identifiable as my own, but not so unique that it would be niche.

I also made the merch relatable. My latest thing is the #BehindWritersClub, which has swept through the writing community on the mere premise of it being relatable. After all, how many of us are behind on what we should be writing? I did not plan this, but the shop expanded beyond myself with various other writers being like ‘lol I’ll join the Behind Writers Club’ and buying a button or a sticker to ‘join’ the club. From there, I frequently use the #BehindWritersClub tag in my social media and streams to promote the merch shop and increase the sense of community around this mutual feeling.

The next thing I did was change where I was posting my work. I ended up switching over to RedBubble, which is not only huge, but I have a chance of my work being simply stumbled upon and, once again, being super relatable for people.

I didn’t realize I had so much to say on the matter, but that’s all I’ve got!

Happy writing, and best of luck!
