This Weekend's Marathon Incentives

Two quick things before we get into the goods:

1. Streams tonight & Thursday at 9 PM CST to finish out Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood

2. I'll have fancy graphics for these incentives later. Keep an eye on socials.

Now, to the fun stuff.

The Rules

Due to some potential story spoilers happening by the entire party being available in New Game+, and being able to break things early on, I'm going to do a clean New Game. For those that haven't experienced the story, I think it would be a bummer to see a couple punches pulled. For those hoping I fail to complete this in 24 hours, this will provide the best shot.

Speaking of, the penalty for failing to complete the game in 24 hours will be bonus stream(s) to fight the two super-bosses, using the same save file as the marathon. Believe me when I say these will be hard enough without any Crowd Control tomfoolery. If I can't beat both bosses by the end of the year, I'll shave my head.

The 24 hour timer will count actual game time this year. So there will be pauses for breaks, eating, stream intro, and paying off donation incentives.

Donations made from this point forward will count to all Game Day marathon incentives. I will add other donation avenues such as Crowd Control, Twitch, and Death Tax when the 24 hour clock expires. Remember, anything that generates revenue like Twitch subs and bits, are directly donated and then matched by my company.

Finally, the Death Tax applies only to full party wipes ($1 each). Don't worry, this will happen a lot, especially with Crowd Control involved. If I did every single character death, I'd be broke.

The Incentives

Stretch Goal: $ 4,033: Grow a French Style Mustache and Keep Until February

Some details on the above:

• French Swear Jar - I am only allowed to cuss in French for the rest of the stream. Any violation is $1 to the Death Tax.
• Baguette Cosplay - I dress up in this wonderful alternate, and super French in-game outfit:

• Family Face Paint & Makeup - Self-explanatory, right? Kids & Mrs. Tex make me beautiful
• Ruining French Cocktails - You can probably guess by the names, but Malort is being subbed in on the Sidecar, French Connection, Boulevardier, and French 75.
• Hot Gougeres - French food has little to no spice and we are changing that. I'm backing some Gougeres (a cheese ball pastry) and we will douse it in a Hot Ones collection I have
• Crowd Control Chaos - Levels are explained at the bottom of this page. In short, the higher the level, the higher the chance of automatic sounds & screen disrupts trigger.

Act 2 Poll and Party Swaps

The big goal for the start of the stream is to get through Act 1 before it gets too late in the night. Not just because the story picks up in a big way, but because I want to open up a couple additional fun incentives.

In Act 2, a love interest option opens up, with the choice of two people. I will run both a free poll via Twitch to decide this, BUT if you want additional votes, every dollar donated, that has a comment included with the name of your choice, will be an additional vote.

Also, early in Act 2, I'll have the full party recruited. When that happens, any donation of $5 or more will force me to swap a character via dice roll. I cannot change characters until the next dice roll or if I add $5 to the death tax to do so (and still have to roll dice).

Yes, I'm being intentionally vague. Trust me. THERE ARE REASONS!

Remember, the party starts at Friday, at 6 PM CST and I'll be on tonight (Tuesday) and Thursday at 9 PM CST to close out Ezio's adventures in Rome!
