# Sonic-Forage Channel Points + 30-Day Transmission Experiment

This is the safe operating plan for turning channel points, follower unlocks, guest rotation, and real-world “Jimsky pops into the transmission” moments into a one-month Sonic-Forage stream experiment.

## Current Kick Channel Points facts

Kick’s help docs say:

- Channel Points are enabled from the Streamer Dashboard.
- Current streamer feature is **custom rewards**.
- Streamers can create, enable, disable, pause, complete, or reject rewards.
- Current custom reward maximum: **15 rewards**.
- Redemptions show in the Streamer Dashboard Activity Feed / Reward Request Queue widget.
- Moderators can help complete, reject, and pause redemptions.
- Viewer text responses are public in chat, so do **not** request personal information.

## Non-negotiable safety model

Viewer points can affect:

- OBS scenes
- overlays
- fake terminal cards
- arcade hotkeys
- oracle queues
- language/caption requests
- guest-lobby requests
- future owned/generated bumper themes

Viewer points must **not** directly control:

- shell/terminal execution
- stream keys
- wallets or spending
- paid GPU/API jobs
- public posts
- dataset publication
- private dashboards/DMs
- guest call links
- external outreach

The operator/Jimsky remains in control.

## 30-day experiment

Goal: keep the stream running as close to continuously as possible for one month, then decide whether the format is worth scaling.

Daily check:

1. Confirm stream health and RTMPS state.
2. Check Channel Points Reward Request Queue.
3. Fulfill safe low-risk requests.
4. Reject/refund unsafe requests.
5. Log follower count and reward count.
6. Capture one owned-stream proof moment if possible.
7. Queue one new safe generated transmission or overlay improvement.

Weekly review:

- What rewards actually got used?
- Did followers increase?
- Did anyone want to collab?
- Did reward requests stay safe?
- Which scenes made people stay?
- Should prices/cooldowns change?

## Real-world pop-in / psychedelic field transmission concept

This should be an OBS scene, not a direct public-control system.

Recommended scene stack:

- `FIELD_TRANSMISSION_JIMSKY` — phone/camera source or OBS Virtual Camera.
- `INTERVIEW_OVERLAY` — AI-generated question cards / captions.
- `SIGNAL_SAFE_FRAME` — psychedelic border, “operator approved” status, QR proof hub link.
- `PANIC_PRIVACY` — instant cutaway if private people, addresses, license plates, DMs, or unsafe content appear.

Viewer reward path:

1. Viewer redeems “Ask the Afterparty Oracle” or “Field Transmission Prompt.”
2. Request appears in queue.
3. Moderator/operator approves a safe prompt.
4. The prompt appears as overlay text.
5. Jimsky answers live while walking/interviewing.

Do not show private locations, unconsenting people, IDs, license plates, or private chats.

## Suggested OBS scenes

- `AUTO_SHOW`
- `CHANNEL_POINTS_QUEUE`
- `REWARD_FULFILLMENT_CARD`
- `FIELD_TRANSMISSION_JIMSKY`
- `INTERVIEW_OVERLAY`
- `LAKE_CHINA_MODE`
- `RETRO_FORGE_ARCADE`
- `PROOF_HUB`
- `SAFE_INTERMISSION`
- `PANIC_PRIVACY`

## Moderator script

When a redemption comes in:

1. Is it safe and on-topic?
2. Does it contain private info, hate, sexual content, illegal instruction, copyrighted request, or spam?
3. If safe: mark accepted/complete after operator fulfills.
4. If unsafe: reject/refund and do not read it aloud.
5. If uncertain: pause reward queue and ask operator.
