Donated item/game giveaway by community
« on: May 13, 2014, 04:30:34 PM »
On two of the larger streamers I watch they have a feature where the community gives away an item by themselves. With your system I propose it be either mods lv 1+2 and maybe VIP Silver or higher?

How it works is:
Member X says I have Call of Duty key to give away.
He types in !giveawaygame (or something) | Call of Duty 4 | KEY # HERE | TIME for giveaway| Message

So what happens then is there is an alert that pops up on the stream with the item given away by whom and time till drawing.
People type in !enter

It then picks the winner and sends them a twitch note with the key code in it.

Why?

Well larger communities have many members that have access to either games/codes or are just wealthy. This system takes the onus off of the streamer to provide the key to the winner and if it doesnt work then its on the donator and not the streamer. It also builds a stronger community because regular people can get in on the fun of giving stuff away. It also frees the streamer up from dealing with giving gifts away. Personally I get 2-3 game keys a day from viewers and while I love it, in the past the keys have not always worked. With this system I would just direct the winner to contact the donator directly. It is also a nice coin sink to keep the coffers drained and increases the value of the coin.

Getting it to send the Twitch message will be the difficult bit, I think. I don't know if the API allows for bots to do that, because otherwise we'd likely have more spam on Twitch than we already do.

Since this is already done by a bot for these larger streamers, it must possible using the current twitch API. Good idea to incorporate it into Deepbot and attract more user (and therefore Donations) for Expert/Deepbot.

Currently there is no way of sending Twitch messages automatically through the bot as Twitch does not have a messaging API. The way it is currently implimented on some custom bots is:
 Viewers create an account on the streamers own website. Then points and raffles are integrated on that website with messages being sent via email or forum messages on that site.

My hope is to introduce something like this when the custom DeepBot viewer UI is released. This would allow deeper visual integration between the viewers and the streamers running DeepBot to enhance the overall experience.

That being said, its still in very early phase and I am still in the process of finaising the technical platform on which I will impliment this UI.
