#The Hunt 2017 - A Twitch.tv Community Event

##Presented by King Gothalion - www.twitch.tv/KingGothalion

###Welcome back ladies and gentlemen, to the loot filled wasteland that we all know and love as Pandora. My name is Ganza, and I’m here to provide some information about a community event that will be happening on Twitch.tv this upcoming January. Yes that’s right, The Hunt Borderlands community event is returning! This time around the event is going to be hosted by the one and only Gothalion (www.twitch.tv/KingGothalion), and there are awesome things in-store for this iteration of the Borderlands community event!

###Gothalion as well as many other Borderlands community streamers from past and present are going to be taking part in supporting this event, including Admiral Bahroo, Professor Broman, Bisnap, and more! Also we have a few things in store from Gearbox Software themselves, courtesy of our community manager Joe King!

###This iteration of the Hunt is going to be designed around introducing new people from other gaming communities to the Borderlands series, promoting smaller streamers and longtime members of the Borderlands 2 Livestreaming Community, and showcasing the best of what Borderlands 2 has to offer. The Borderlands community in my mind is one of the most welcoming gaming communities out there on Twitch.tv, we have some of the strongest support in community leadership via our community manager Joe King and his associates, and we encourage anyone from any gaming background to pick this game up and give it a shot.

###So I bet you’re wondering what the deal is with all the shenanigans happening this time around, eh? Well, let’s get right into it.

##This competition will start on January 2nd, 2017 at 10 AM EDT (GMT -5), and will last for one week until January 9th, 2017.

###You must stream your progress via your Twitch channel, and provide proof of your drops for verification purposes via the highlight tool/the Twitch clips tool. This means you MUST HAVE PAST BROADCASTS ENABLED ON YOUR TWITCH CHANNEL.

To activate past broadcasts on your channel:

Login with your Twitch information

Navigate to http://www.twitch.tv/channel/settings

Make sure the checkbox next to “Archive Broadcasts” is checked



**Please note that this setting does not save your past broadcasts forever, rather they are available for a limited time after the cast is over. Be sure to highlight your drops via the highlight tool, or clip drops via the clipping tool!**

How to create a highlight of your Twitch past broadcast:

When logged in, visit Twitch.tv, and on your username drop down in the top right, select video manager.



You should see a compilation of your past broadcasts, and under each one there will be an option to “Highlight.”

How to create a clip of your Twitch past broadcast:

When viewing your past broadcast, click on the clips logo on the bottom right of the video screen at the end portion of the clip you want to capture. This will automatically create a clip.
