Every year, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) provides emergency medical care to millions of people caught in crises
in more than 60 countries around the world. MSF provides assistance when catastrophic events—such as armed conflict, epidemics, malnutrition,
or natural disasters—overwhelm local health systems. MSF also assists people who face discrimination or neglect from their local health systems
or when populations are otherwise excluded from health care.
MSF is a neutral and impartial humanitarian organization that aims first and foremost to provide high-quality medical care to the people who need
it the most. It does not promote the agenda of any country, political party, or religious faith, and, as such, endeavors to communicate its history,
background, and capabilities to all parties in a given situation so that it may gain the necessary access to populations in need.

GDQ chats are (unfortunately) notoriously spammy, making it extremely difficult to interact in any meaningful way. A lot of people like the
interaction with other viewers that Twitch provides, and for that reason there is an independant NeoGAF chat just for Twitch.

Please keep talk of previous GDQ drama out of this thread? I can't stop you but this thread is for SGDQ 2016 and discussion
about previous drama/problems is not really relevant.
