Spring, haha. I couldn’t tell you when FS puts out new weave seasons!

This is going to be great genuinely excited to be a part of this amazing event!

Giveaways are for viewers. If it plans well, there may be playerbase goodies, but I can’t make any promises, sadly.

We Hedge! Can’t wait for you to speak about the Verm project and your role in it!

No, any viewer who participates in the giveaway (basically just watch and post a hashtag during giveaway time so the drawing algorithm knows you want in).

Our channel doesn’t have a subscription. I think it would be better not to make assumptions on why we hold this event. None of us are doing it for the money or fame.

Awesome, looking forward to this.

Will hedge be taking questions? More specifically, about Genevieve Dieudonné?

If there’s time, sure. No promises on your fav lady though, sorry Smoker!
