Corruption Bar

The Corruption Bar is the means by which YOU the viewer can throw a cog into the wheel of a show. The bar is displayed at the bottom right hand of the stream and displays the total amount of tips generously donated by the audience. Every time the bar is filled (typically every $50 or $60 depending on the size of the cast), the GM has a free pass to rain Corruption down on their players. Now, Corruption isn't always bad--this is completely up the the GM's discretion--but usually, something unpleasant happens. Maybe an extra Xenomorph shows up, your spaceship gets clobbered by an asteroid, or you step on a piece of glass while trying to be sneaky and a monster is alerted to your presence. If the GM is a benevolent GM, they can even use a bar to remove a set of obstacles from the players' path. The possibilities are endless!
Adding some spice to the shows isn't the only function of the Corruption Bar, though. It's main purpose is to pay the cast. 
100% of the money tipped throughout the length of the production is split evenly between the GM and the players. 
Some channels use the tip jar to buy special perks for the players, such as advantage on a roll, a free reroll, etc. However Mike often found that led to favoritism and one player being tipped less perks than others. He decided to just go a whole donation pool that gets divided between everyone at the end of the season. 
Some of us, *cough*Patrons*cough*, love to throw Corruption at themselves in their own games. All donations to the Bar during Patreon games go right back to the channel. These funds are used to pay for tech subscriptions, pay for art commissions, fund Mike's Monster energy drink addiction, etc.
When in chat the commands !fillthebar or !paythecast will bring up the link to Streamlabs where your donation can be made.
