Question 1

WHAT IS THE SP RAID-TRAIN??

Accepted Answer

It's an organized raid on Twitch, which passes viewers from streamer to streamer on an hourly basis. We operate on a Monday-Friday schedule, with a total of 20 stream slots available each day.

Each morning, our community goes to the first streamer's channel which will hold the train for one hour. At the end of their hour, they raid all the viewers to the next streamer on the schedule. This continues until the last available time slot. We repeat this process every day until the week is complete.

Please know, we will never have a scheduled weekend raid train in our server.
