It's almost that time of year again, Earth's Elite's 8th annual Spring 24 hour event.

To pay hommage to the April 2016 event this years event will be starting at 7PM BST on Friday 1st April and will end on Saturday 2nd at 7PM BST, as usual the event will be streamed live on our various partner channels.  You can watch the stream from the 24 hour event dashboard, which is arguably the best place to watch the stream from, this page will keep you up to date on the quotes and the event schedule as well as allow you to watch the full team, this resource is available to both members and guests to our website - https://earthelite.co.uk/24h

As usual we will be trying to raise the remaining amount of our annual running costs with this stream.  We require £235.19 a year to operate, back in November we managed to raise £46.66 of this total after fees.  To account for fees we will be aiming for £200 from this stream to cover the remaining amount of our annual running costs.
Cost Breakdown...
Domain: £14.39/yr (Billed Bi-Annually)
Enterprise: £48/yr
Bowie: £48/yr
Voyager: £24/yr
Discovery: £64.80/yr
Intrepid: £36/yr



With every donation of £5 or more you send you can submit an order to a member of our team. The partner (AKA streamer, host, etc) you decide to choose for your order has the option to forfeit the order, one of two things at this point will occur, another partner can rescue them and carry out the order or they have to ask the other partners to come up with an alternative order for them to carry out before the end of the stream.  If an order is inappropriate, illegal, etc then it will not be counted but you will still be charged

Milestones this year are completely optional for our partners and they are free to decide whether they do milestones and what they will be basing their milestones on, such as length of time streamed or amount of money raised.  Activities for each donation this year will primarily be from donation orders, which you the viewer are able to dictate, we feel this will give you more control and interaction with the stream rather than us deciding what challenge or activity we do for donations.

As always the event schedule can be found on the 24 hour events dashboard - https://earthelite.co.uk/24h/schedule.php or if you prefer the older layout in the info centre here - https://earthelite.co.uk/info_content.php?id=00055

*Figures for donation goals will be updated in the next 24-48 hours
**Schedule will be made available in the info centre and in the 24 hour dashboard in the coming days, in the meantime any 'access denied' messages are not errors

As I said earlier this year, I will be taking the stream-a-day challenge month by month for a while to see how I'm getting on, with only 1 week left of January I am going to provide my first update.

Firstly, I WILL be continuing the stream-a-day into and throughout February, I will update towards the end of next month on whether I intend to continue until at least the April 24 hour event.

Secondly, while average channel stats are relatively low currently I still feel energised about continuing the stream-a-day and as regular viewers may know I have even invested in upgrading some of my equipment, last week I upgraded my mixer to a GoXLR and I have just purchased a green screen for use when doing anything that requires or I want my camera on for.

This month we managed to do 1 watch party, which from watching on Twitch was great, the jury is still out on how well that will work as an archived VOD on YouTube, as far as variety goes, that's the most we've done so far other than games, hopefully February will change that with some IRL streams and more watch parties.

A plan has been put in place for watching Star Trek: Picard as a watch party each week once that releases March 3rd, so keep an eye out for those streams coming up.

Any suggestions for more variety or games to play on stream, then please do let me know below or in chat during a stream!

I'm joining Callum on his 'Stream A Day' Challenge, but I can already tell that I can't make his 1461 days  I'm also putting same rules on me as Callum has for himself, and I'll be taking my challenge month at a time, but it'll be fun to try something like this, maybe days when I'm alone, I could continue my own journey in F1 2021 My Team Career, and stuff like that, maybe some GTA V or Call Of Duty WWII, or whatever.

We were also thinking about doing weekly movie nights on Twitch with their watch parties and watch a film or a series on Amazon Prime Video, but nothing is set in stone yet. My challenge is very much a work-in-progress still.

I look forward to seeing you all in either mine or Callum's streams the coming weeks/months! Or infact, in any of our team's streams! Tell them I sent ya'! 

Throughout 2020 and 2021 I wasn't that active on my Twitch channel, but I am wanting to change that this coming year.

I am going to try and bring back the stream a day challenge I started in 2016 and completed in 2018 with 1002 days consecutively.

This challenge will have slightly more relaxed rules and wont' require a stream every 24 hours of at least 1 hour, but will allow me to be a little more flexible and work the streams around work a bit more, so I could do a stream for say a Monday at 2AM on a Tuesday after work, so long as I also stream on the Tuesday for that days stream.
I will also be able to do a stream with a set goal or purpose and if that's completed before 1 hour, then I can end if I want to and it'll count as a stream for the challenge.

Along with the relaxed rules I also want to try and add more variety to my streams to help stop myself becoming burnt out like I was at the end of the 1000 days challenge, to start with this will be in the form of my playing around with the Twitch feature that allows me to host a watch party for various videos on Amazon Prime Video, live hosting of podcasts, and gaming streams.  In the future I'd like to find more topics/projects I can do to branch out the variety of my streams, for example I have wanted to learn how to develop games for quite a while, so that could be a potential project I do on stream and document my learning process.

Just like the 2016 - 2018 challenge, I will try to ensure every stream is archived over on my YouTube channel.

My end goal is to try and keep going until the 10 year anniversary of starting the original stream a day challenge, January 1st 2026, but to start with I'll be taking it month by month and see where I end up.  If I'm completely honest, the chance of me hitting the 2026 goal is very low, but it's worth a shot.

So I look forward to seeing you in chat or in game in the coming streams!

It's almost that time of year again, EE's 7th annual Autumn 24 hour event.

This event will be starting at the usual time of 7PM Community Time on Friday the 19th of November 2021.  The event as usual will be streamed live.  You can watch the stream from the 24 hour event dashboard, which is arguably the best place to watch the stream from, this page will keep you up to date on the quotes and the event schedule as well as allow you to watch the full team (great for during the split team events and race to complete) - https://earthelite.co.uk/24h.

Once again this years Autumn variant of the #EE24H will be the 'Stream Until We Dream', meaning only the first 12 hours of the event are guaranteed at this point.
The guaranteed time or donation time can be extended by anyone by simply donating towards the EE Autumn donation goal (see below for details), unlike last years SUWD event we have changed up the way donation time is added on.
Our team members (Scott, Martin, Butterzz, & Myself) will be able to choose whether we are participating in the SUWD which will change how the event works for us, for everyone else and any team members not partaking in the SUWD portion of the event, then they will be participating in the #EE24H as usual (more on this below).

Donation time can be accrued by hitting the EE milestones for the Autumn donation goal - £175
25% milestone (£43.75) will add 3 hours to the donation time and unlock that portion of the event schedule
50% milestone (£87.50) will add another 3 hours to the donation time bringing it up to 6 hours in total and unlock the next section of the event schedule
75% milestone (£131.25) will again add another 3 hours bringing the total to 9 hours and unlocking the penultimate section of the schedule
100% milestone (£175) will add the last 3 hours and unlock the full event schedule taking the SUWD duration to 24 hours.

Team members participating in the SUWD will not be carrying out milestone challenges/tasks but instead will be following the SUWD milestones.  All team members will be participating in donation challenges/tasks in a new way.
Team members not participating in the SUWD but instead participating in the more casual #EE24H will be asked to create milestones as per the usual event format.

For each donation we receive we will spin the donation wheel, this will decide who will do a challenge/task and what they will be doing, this will be done during the next donation spotlight portion of the event (currently planned for after each break).

Once again, the orders with each donation will NOT be returning for the SUWD or #EE24H Autumn event this year.

The full event schedule can be found here - https://earthelite.co.uk/info_content.php?id=00054

Team members will be posting below which of the variants they will be aiming to participate in and any relevenat information like donation spins and milestones below.

Any questions or suggestions, as always please post below.

I've been a bit inactive on my channel lately, but as we head towards the end of the year I'm hoping to get a few streams going.

There will be a few streams for some EE events coming up, of course there will be the November #EE24H event on November 19th and of course there will be the end of year drunk stream on December 30th (It's actually going to be on the correct date this year!!!).
Along with the above two, this month we will see the return of the annual Halloween fright night on Friday 29th, before that however Myself and Scott from Archer Gaming are planning to bring you a few streams on Sunday's 17th & 24th, times to be confirmed and a special stream on Sunday 31st 

Along with the collabs and events I'm hoping to start bringing some more regular streams into the mix as well and looking at hopefully returning to some sort of regular streaming schedule by the start of next year.

Any stream ideas or events ideas for the team, as always, let us know!

It's that time of year again, the Summer Solstice event for 2021 will be on Monday 21st June 2021 starting at 9PM.
