tier 1 sub

A tier 1 sub is the cheapest subscription plan you can buy on Twitch, and oftentimes is the only plan you'll ever need.

Subscribing at tier 1 gives you access to at least a good 95% of the streamer's emotes, as well as other channel perks such as a sub-only discord community.

Anything higher than tier 1 has little to no perks, other than having a more distinguished sub badge.

Tier 1 rp 

T1 is a type of fighting style generally used by people in chats or forums. These people are generally the more advanced RPers. Average time to learn T1 can take anywhere from two weeks to two months, depending on the time spent learning and perfecting the form. It is based off the idea that the paragraphs you use should appear to come out of a book using detailed descriptions so that the people watching can ‘see’ what is happening in chat to make Role Playing a more enjoyable experience.

T1 is probably the hardest way to role-play if you are not good at being descriptive. T1 is turn-based, so you have to wait for your opponent to finish typing his/her attack. It is also paragraph fighting. In a T1 match, your opponent can strike you. You have the ability to reverse the attack or take the hit and come back with one of your own. In T1, you can only type one attack each paragraph. If you type more than one attack in a paragraph, you will be disqualified. You may need to type more than one paragraph, so when this is needed, use <C> at the end and beginning of your paragraph. Once you complete your attack/entrance, put an <E> at the end to symbolize the finalization of your paragraph

(n-1) tier 

Whereas a modern web software application has separate layers for presentation (user interface), business logic, and storage etc. (because modular construction is easier to build and debug) it is usually called an "n-tier architecture", where n represents the number of modules or layers. It is much more secure and robust than the "old way" (1-tier), where one machine was the web server, file server, database, and firewall. A program which has illogical or insufficient rules (i.e. absence of business logic) can be termed "(n-1) tier", as a crucial part (usually the part that makes the software smart or helpful) has obviously been omitted by scatterbrained developers, detached managers, clueless requirements analysts, dumb pilot members, etc.

Employee A: Did you submit your travel costs yet?
Employee B: No, our stupid online expense system kept giving me a cryptic error.
Employee A: Yup, that EOM app is an (n-1) tier system...

Boss: I need you to fix your time charges for last week. You entered 45 hours instead of 4.5 hours on Wednesday.
Subject: Must've been a fat-finger. Too bad our accounting system can't catch that obvious error. It's just another (n-1) tier waste of code.

Tier 15 

Stay away from that! Do not do tier 15!

"Looks like your date went pretty good buddy"

"Uhh I dont know. Is the hug okay? Gimmie some tips man

"Bro, you gotta let things take their natural path. Look, look. Let me explain some junk about dating. Right now your at tier one. Which is hugging. But pretty soon you will be at tier two. Which is smooching. Then you will make it down the road to tier 5, where she will let you discover all fifteen feet of her long, beautiful stomach. And after a while, you will make it to tier eight, where you touch her horn for the very first time. Very special."

"What about tier fifteen?"

"Stay away from that, do not do tier 15!"

Tier 15 

The highest point in a couples relationship. Tier one would be holding hands then sex would only be at tier 7. No one ever goes to tier 15. Its too risky and dangerous. Someone will end up hurt.

Tier four is alright but never go to tier 15!!!!
