We frequently stream arcade games but don't want to just blow through them with infinite credits. So we've created the rules below to help make arcade games fun and fair but not trivial. - Difficulty is set to normal - Starting lives are set to 3 - Extra live score threshold set to lowest possible - Credits are set to shared - Each player gets 1 credit initially - Additional credits (1 per player) are earned by making it further in the game than our best run - Infinite credits are allowed if the home version would be expected to have them. (ie every fighting game)

When triggered by our viewers, we take two randomly chosen games that Drumlbe & Try4ce have both finished and debate which one is better. Any staff member present that has played both games gets a vote. Ties are broken via a community poll. A court session can be triggered by: * Spending 1000 Channel Points (limit 1 per stream) * Donating $5 or more and including the word "court" in your donation message. If a court session triggered by donating turns out to be really short, we'll do a bonus session for free. New games are added to the list at a random position. Games will climb or fall one match-up at a time as the list settles into place. You can see the current list [here](https://live.backloggery.com/rankings.php).

The Backloggery aims to be a friendly, inclusive community for anyone who wants to participate. To that end, we have the following chat rules: - Respect the staff, mods, and fellow viewers. Bigotry, harassment, or personal attacks will not be tolerated. - Chanting or emote spam is allowed but only in small bursts. Celebrate the moment but don't make discussion impossible. - Avoid spoilers and backseat gaming as much as possible, unless asked.

We're the staff of [Backloggery](https://backloggery.com), where you take inventory of your game collection and track your progress to keep your backlog under control. Our streams almost always center around us beating games in our backlogs. We especially like streaming 8bit and 16bit games, but we stream a bit of everything occasionally. Come cheer us on in our fight against Bak'laag!
