You can do something else on stream that is "non-gaming" related as a direct result from a game, such as:
Something many twitch users do, drinking to certain cues such as dying or getting double kills. (this is fine as long as you are abiding to the first rule of the Rules of Conduct: "Don't ruin this by harming yourself physically, drinking excessively or endangering yourself in any way while broadcasting.")
After discussing this idea with twitch users, they justify the situation of those who stream for days and days without showing any gaming content that is a "result of gaming" and deem the users who are on for hours, days, weeks, without streaming a single game and doing other things on camera are OK because they are relating it to a result of a game.
They also claimed this type of behavior was fine according to the twitch ToS; I had searched both the ToS and Rules of Conduct and had found nothing related to people doing things as a "result of gameplay".
I've heard users say you can virtually do anything as long as it is a "result to gameplay". Ex. If I lose this game, I have to clean my house.
I would like to get this cleared up as to how far can people take it. A rule of thumb I like to use is:
If you are doing something else besides playing a game longer than you ACTUALLY play the game, it is most probably not allowed.
Ex. Playing for the first hour then drinking and stumbling around for the next 7 hours
Ex. Playing for the first 5 minutes then doing other things on the stream such as, cleaning your house for the next 5 hours
But how far is too far? How is this rule to be clearly outlined? How does twitch go about things like this when there isn't a set rule for this yet? What is their "rule of thumb?"
