Chia here, realising I haven't thrown up any image whatsoever of the rainbow hair. 

Personally I loved every second I was able to watch of the stream. I regret not being able to tune in much of Friday, due to other commitments, but I was able to catch most of the action.

I think it's incredible that one person could arrange something this huge, and this successful, and so for that I give my utmost thanks to Phorxy for setting up this awesome occasion.

I also have to thank all of the casters for all the amazing work they did during the stream. So thank you Nation, Pause, Zozoken, Forlorn, Crumps, Millbee, Phat32, HeyOT6, Cleo and especially Chia, Pho and Sophie for giving us some amazing moments that I will remember for a long time.

I've never really done much good before in my life, and although I wasn't able to give much (around £40 I think, a.k.a. the entire contents of my bank account) it really felt great to be making a difference to real people. Also, it's a cause I can really relate to as I lost my aunt to cancer a few years ago.

So thank you all again for providing me with the best 72 hours of my life.

Hey, my name is Zandgaia aka W (Zandgaiaaka) or just Zand. Most will remember me from the chat, not only during the 72 hour stream, but also from prior streams from several of the casters (Phorxy, Millbee and Cleo to be exact), and I can proudly claim to be a regular.

Since my ego is now stroked enough, hopefully, let us continue.

The stream's idea began by Phorxy due to her dad having Myeloma (a type of cancer), and because she could not go to him, due to having a cold. She decided to help her dad in a different way: by organising a charity stream for that charity that she personally got in touch with due to her dad's sickness.

Hmmm, maybe I'm the best at explaining this eh.

The streamers (in no order) Nation, Forlorn, Zozoken, Phat, Crumps, Hey, Millbee, Cleo, Pause, Chia and Phorxy. They did an amazing job, sometimes pushing away what they'd normally wouldn't do (Millbee and Mindcrack, Cleo and Pure Scary Games), giving people a push in the back for donating that what is so important to not only Phorxy, but just people in general: cancer.

Even though the streamers, those that worked behind the scenes and the donators were awesome to help out, keep in mind, the viewers themselves have mostly been amazing. Despite the odd hater, troll or respect-less people that drop in once in a while, but they have been taken care of accordingly. Not only that, but one of the reasons why streams are so popular and succesful is (sometimes un-appreciated) chat of said stream, the viewers are the life of the stream and everyone who watched should give themselves a pat on the back.

I think I'm partially rambling on and repeating myself but I shall continue anyway, you cannot time me out at the moment! [blog mod edit: yes I can Zand :D]

Anywho, my personal experience with the stream was great. I loved (the stream), I lost (my time out count) and I saw some amazing feats happening. Whilst I wasn't around the full 72 hours, I call 50 hours of them a fair amount. And despite the fact that I was unable to donate (Paypal owes me 30 bucks), I helped in my own way: I gave away some valuable TF2 items, two Steam games and free chat entertainment, for streamers, moderators and viewers alike.

Whilst you're reading this, how about the Zand drinking game?

Zand drinking game! If Zand get's timed out, take a shot! If Zand is immediately un-timed out take another shot! If somebody wants him to shut up or banned, finish your drink. If a mod threatens him to time him out, take a sip. If Zand gets in a discussion with somebody who wants him to shut up/banned and are forced to shut up because of a mod, finish your drink. If Zand is trolling, take two shots. If zand lasts 10 minutes without a timeout, take 2 shots. If somebody mentions Zand's T/O counter take a sip.

Other than that, I truely enjoyed myself and I hope all the work done has helped and of course that I (in some way) was useful.

Cheers,
