Twitch streaming a game

[captainmeme]

We played this game live on Twitch a while ago: https://webdiplomacy.net/beta/?gameID=200000
Theoretically at some point it will be continued, and that will be streamed on Twitch too.

The important thing here is that everyone in the game knew it was going to be streamed, and it was set up specifically with that in mind. If everyone has agreed to it then it doesn't matter if it's gunboat, public press, full press, voice chat - honour rules should do and if anyone breaks them, then at least it's an issue that everyone in the game signed up knowing about.

Livestreaming Diplomacy games should not be done outside of that context imo. There's too much of an unfair advantage that players could gain by finding the stream which other players wouldn't be aware of. It's maybe debatable with full press given there's nothing stopping you from making your chat logs public anyway, but public gunboat games should definitely never be streamed.

That seems reasonable. Is this a really uncommon situation or should it be made systematic somehow?
