To prepare for the event, the community came together to help new and less experienced streamers with stream setup how-tos, tech support, marketing, matchmaking, coming up with fun events, assets, and helping them to reach them reach the Twitch goal of an affiliate. In true, Fallout community fashion, gamers came together to help each other get ready for the event.
