who cares I'm going to play Mony as long
as you guys feel scared to wish me a
happy birthday we've achieved the goal
it's all you can really ask for you
borked it again no looks good people are
getting banned the important thing is
that people are being banned okay and
there are a lot of people being banned
right now I am seeing a lot of going out
I don't even know if they're the right
people the important thing is that
people are getting banned and
everybody's scared and that we're
wishing Kevin Cosner a happy birthday
okay I think we need to ban people
longer people aren't scared enough let's
do 800,000 seconds like a week right hey
just found out you and my brother share
a regular day today could you wish my
brother Patrick a happy regular day hey
happy the same to you but I'm scared of
getting banned yeah you might get
banned why is chat why are you striking
I don't I don't know okay chat is
striking for some reason let me address
this really quick I I really am kind of
I don't want this constantly to be a
thing where you guys are striking and I
don't know what's going on and I would
like us to not have a strain
relationship constantly so if your
message includes dot dot dot you get
banned all right cool problem solved the
strike's over try striking now chat use
commas legal I mean at least you're not
wishing me a happy birthday here's what
we're going to do if your message
includes a period or a comma what else
would you use to strike maybe a Tilda oh
a dash you definitely would use a dash
oh asteris for sure yeah I got to I got
to ban asteris we've successfully Union
busted meanwhile I am playing spunky by
the way just so people are remember okay
yeah now we're killing some people you
can't type dot dot dot that's not that's
not quite you're not striking if you're
just saying words at me okay here's the
thing you guys might think that you've
gotten around me nobody would read
twitch chat right now and think you guys
are striking not one person so I've
successfully broken up the strike cuz
nobody would possibly actually interpret
this as a strike that means I win what a
great birthday now people are just
saying stri I have an easy way to fix
this now you have to follow chat Rule 13
which is the one I just wrote and you
have to follow one of my other chat
rules yeah we'll do this one chat rule 9
you can only use words that are in the
Declaration of Independence all right
have fun striking with that chat good
luck sorry the word strike isn't in the
Declaration of Independence a very happy
unbirthday to you Doug thank have fun
streaming party po pretty sure you'll
still get banned for that cuz that was
not in the Declaration of Independence
okay well they've learned to call me a
tyrant Chad's learned to call me a bear
tyrant we should all say happy birthday
and go out together don't don't like
commit honorable Subaru together just to
wish me a happy birthday I don't care
just to be clear I don't care about my
birthday that's why I put this rule up I
don't give a [ __ ] which is why I want to
focus on the actual game about the
birthday wishes before being born
honestly it's just your fault I feel
like this isn't on me I'm going to be
honest I don't think it's tyranny to to
tell people to not wish me a happy
birthday abolish tyranny okay now half
the people are just screaming about
abolishing bears I can't focus on spunky
during this we I I think we' I've banned
a huge number of people we've lost
another mod and a VIP and a VIP we're
losing a lot of people it's got to have
been several hundred people who are
banned right now this isn't even about
my birthday anymore so now you can't say
happy birthday but your message also has
to include the current time of day okay
somebody said 2:14 why are you getting
okay literally everybody is getting
banned what why is everybody getting
banned oh I know why it's cuz every
single message is illegal because all Al
I have the original rule that says you
can't put this character so you were
just completely [ __ ] if you typed
anything sorry about that all right I'll
remove this so now you can say the time
but you still can't say any of these
other characters including periods or
commas whoops we lost a lot of good
Chatters out there and since this is a
week I'm going to be streaming again on
like Tuesday I think we're just like not
going to have anybody in twitch chat
also I hadn't actually updated it and a
lot of people started saying the time
but it was still using the Declaration
of Independence thing so a lot of people
got banned for that too okay now you
should be able to save the time without
getting banned okay A lot of people are
still dying okay some people are legal
guys we are losing so many people to be
clear you have to say the time of day
and you can't say the word birthday or
happy or day or telegram or birth or
alive or bappy or any of these
punctuation marks very simple we've lost
so many people and you be careful about
the minute okay it's according to my
computer the problem is because twitch
chat messages are delayed by like 3
seconds if you if you submit a message
with the time at the very end of the
minute it'll actually be received by my
code in the next minute which will then
ban you for a week so you know talk at
your own risk here consistently my
favorite content creative for 5 years
now so sad it will be ending soon I
wasn't aware of that so what if someone
comes in late to wish you a day for no
reason and they get banned by the bot uh
then they should have been better at
twitch I don't know that's not that's
like a skill issue that's not on me okay
we're running out of people there's no
to do the predictions we're I'm not
going to have any viewers left all these
