Patch notes for 2016-09-08

- !ask
	- Cooldown changed from 45 seconds to 30 seconds.
	- Removed most "vague" answers to solidify chances of receiving a soled yes/no.

- New rule: Failing to complete a pyramid will now result in a 10 minute timeout.
	- This also applies for mods, provided I have the opportunity to time them out and re-mod them at the time of failure.

I'm looking into developing my own bot specifically for the cat/dog war that has a slightly different metagame. More details when I actually make progress on that. No ETA as of now.

- During speedruns, I will no longer be showing my webcam. Being off cam lets me focus on the run more, meaning better quality speedruns. This also relieves a lot of pressure and should help me stream for much longer (see the next main point).
	- Between runs I will use a "downtime" scene that displays my camera and chat on screen. This time will be used to wind down and hang out for a short amount of time before the next run starts.
	- Camera will still be used for non-speedrun activities, such as casual and rhythm games.

- I will be making the strongest effort to stream for longer periods of time each day. My goal is 8 hours per day minimum. I will not be making an immediate jump to that point - streams will gradually become longer and longer until we hit it.

- All alerts have been disabled. Read the following paragraph for more info.

~~~
My stream focus is remaining the same. I want to produce clean, quality content. I avoid the use of complicated overlays and displaying recent subs, top donations, etc. Every aspect of the stream should be enjoyable and accessible to everyone, not just people who can afford to pay money for their name to show up on the video feed. I will still give a verbal thanks to all subs/tips/cheers, as I still appreciate the fuck out of you guys.
