Some changes to rewards and a weighted voting system
🕑 Added 2021-08-27 18:44:58 +0000 UTCBack when I created this Patreon I had no idea what I was doing, so the tiers were a mess. Now I know better, so I've updated all of them. Most of the things were just cosmetic, to make the rewards easier to understand.
The biggest change is that the polls will now use a weighted voting system. Here's how it works in 3 steps:
1. We talk with Impregnation($14.99 per month) and above tier subscribers(Preferably on discord, but if that doesn't work for you can message us and we will arrange something.) and decide what options the poll will have.
2. Once options are decided I make a post with a poll here. All tiers are able to vote, but your voting strength is proportional to your pledge.
For example
1.99$ -> 1.99 votes
6.99$ -> 6.99 votes
and so on.
The polls will always allow you to choose multiple options, but if you do so your votes will get divided evenly between them.
For example, if you have 12 votes
1 option -> 12 votes
2 options selected -> 6 votes per option
3 options selected -> 4 votes per option
and so on.
3. Once poll ends I use my magic python script to calculate the results and make a post with the results here. It's important to remember that Patreon itself doesn't have this built in, so the results you see before I make the post with weighted results will show just the count of votes for each option.
Here what's changed besides this:
-Voyeur($1.99 per month) subscribers can now vote in polls too.
-I removed two highest tiers, which were pretty pointless.

Pretty much you can imagine 1$ = 1 vote. And it's not really like you cast multiple votes. It's that your vote has a "weight" Let's say that there are 3 people with 2$ subscription voting for "Option 1" 1 person with 7$ subscription voting for "Option 2" Option 1 gets 3*2$ = 6$ Option 2 gets 1*7$ = 7$ So option 2 would win. I can give more examples if its not clear.

I feel like the weight is acceptable. Get what you give sort of thing. My only real question here is... how do we know how many votes we have available for the tier we subscribe at? I'm not sure if I skipped over it in the benefits, it's just not there, or if it's purely a by-the-post occurrence.

Pretty much yeah, that's the idea. It was like that before as well, but we kind of didn't explain it very well.

good changes the only thing I'm kind of on the edge about is how the 15$ tier works so basically you can suggest content for the polls only if you are on that tier? in my country the currency rate on patreon is punishing.
