Hey, I’m using Unity to make a Small app to use on my Twitch Stream.  
I’m reading the chat to spawn small blob who represent the people in the Chat.

I saw that I can Receive TAG to look at people Badges

> Twitch IRC Tags Most IRC messages provide enough information that you can figure out what happened. For example, in the following PRIVMSG message, you know that user abc posted HeyGuys in the xyz channel. :abc!abc@abc.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #xyz...

How do I tell the Server that I want to receive that Badge Tags ?  
This is what I receive right now

:thepoinball!thepoinball@thepoinball.tmi.twitch.tv PRIVMSG #thepoinball :This is a Test

This is my current Csharp Reader

reader = new StreamReader(twitchClient.GetStream());
