September Update / Revamp | Important, please read.
🕑 Added 2018-09-01 10:58:51 +0000 UTC Howdy.First, thank you for the continued support. I really can't thank you all enough for what you do. It's actually crazy that you've taken the time to help support what I do.
Second, Patreon Suggestion Pool and Pool Poll will be available today and next week, respectively.
Third, Patreon Sketch Stream will be on Saturday, September 15th, unless something otherwise changes.
And fourth, I'm going to be changing some things around again.
After much consideration and deliberation, starting in November, the $10 Sketch Tier will be gone. I've given it a lot of thought, since January in fact, and I've decided that in order to do some things I'm planning out, I'm going to have to nix this tier.
Well, what's gonna replace it?
In terms of just being a straight $10 tier, nothing is currently planned. However, with it dissolving, I'm not going to be entirely getting rid of its purpose. Something that I planned to do early on during this Patreon, but ended up abandoning because of the workload it added on along with doing the Sketch Tier is more Patron involvement. I've been working to push more polls and overall being more interactive than I've been in the past, so I'm going to add something else to the pot.
Starting in November, all $3+ patrons will be entered into monthly raffles. The plan is to do at least one a month, though there may be more if time allows. I also want to do more with the Suggestion Pool stuff during the month, which is part of the reason there were several winners of last month's poll. Really, the plan is to have more polls in general. I've also been streaming a lot more, so I want to also include patrons into that. I'm currently weighing in commission discounts and the handling of doing something like the Patreon streams, just minimized.
Just for clarification - this change will take place in November, so for September and October, everything will continue as normal.
And to answer the potential question of why the $10 tier is being dissolved but the $20 tier isn't:
I've got a ton of mailers and supplies I've bought for that express purpose, so that's why. I might also use throw in some mail time tier related stuff in the raffles from time to time as well, depending how interested people might be. I know not everyone is comfortable sharing addresses, so it won't be something frequent, just let me have some feedback.
That's it.
