ANNOUNCEMENT: Secondary Poll?
🕑 Added 2023-09-08 22:38:05 +0000 UTCHad an exchange with a patron under the main poll and they brought up an interesting point regarding my polls.
It goes without saying that I have "core franchises" that I draw and post, and so much of my following is likely interested in seeing those from me. However, this does mean that -- when it comes time to run the polls every month -- some suggestions are inevitably always going to fall to the wayside.
So, I've considered a couple of ideas, and I'm curious what you guys think about them. I figure running a poll is the best way to tackle this, though I do want to specify that the winning option on this poll may not be what I go with. I just want a general consensus.
Option A) Nothing changes
Nothing changes and I continue running a single poll based on the votes and popular opinion.
Option B) Bottom-Listers Poll
This is the option I'm considering the most.
The main poll would be started a day or two earlier in the month (and shortened to 5-6 days instead of 7-8). When that poll is completed, I'd pick the Pro and Basic renders as usual.
However.
Once I've done that, I'd take 4-6 of the lowest-voted options on the poll and create a new render poll called the Bottom-Listers Poll, which would pit those low-votes against one another for a third render each month accessible to anyone on the Basic or Pro tiers, and would be subject to my usual content delay pipeline.
Essentially, this options takes away no content, and in fact guarantees new content. This is the one I think I'm most content with because it's a net gain for everyone involved, and gives people with more obscure or less-voted characters a fair shot.
Option C) Replace the Basic Render
Every month, for as long as I've done two renders, I'll take the first and second place votes on the poll and turn them both into renders, the Pro and Basic renders respectively. However, I could instead start doing a lower-voted character for this. Whether I simply put a bunch of low-voted characters into a name picker or pick arbitrarily is something I'm not sure on.
Personally? I like this option the least. It effectively takes away content, but I feel it's one still worth suggesting.
Anyways, those are the three options I want to put forth just to get votes and opinions on. Feel free to say what you think in the comments below independent of the poll, but your votes would be very much appreciated!

I like the idea of B it gives us like a chance to unbanish some characters from poll hell
