Campaign Overhaul - How will this work?

So how will this work exactly?

I will tell you this right now, this is going to be a bit messed up. That's not because I want it to be, but because of how Patreon works. I'm sure a bunch of you are shocked by that. :P

Patreon takes several days to process all of your payments at the end of the month. Therefore I will create the new tiers on December 5th/2020, after I know all processing has ceased. So you don't need to do anything for the end of November in a less than a week.

Patreon also starts processing payments a few days before the end of the month. Therefore, you will want to change your current pledge tier from the old tier to one of the new tiers before the end of December. I will reiterate...

Change your current pledge to one of the new tiers between Dec 5 and Dec 25!

All of the old tiers will be clearly marked as, "Do not pledge at this tier! It is being deleted!!"

All of the new tiers will be clearly labeled with their new rewards and prices.

I have to keep both tiers for a while because of how Patreon works. I will delete the old pledge tiers in January, 2021. During December, I will send out rewards based on the new tiers. So, for example, preview renders and WIP images will be posted to anyone pledging $10.00 and above during December. 

I feel that is my only option for December as I can't post to the old pledge tiers if I'm asking you to change your pledge. For example, if you change your pledge from $14.99 to $10.00 then you won't see a post that I make to the $14.99 level tier. So the only real way I have to make sure those that pledged at the end of November see their content is to also share that content with those of the lower tiers.

Because of this, the first exclusive "Thank you" reward will be sent out via email to anyone that pledged (at the old tier levels) at the end of November. Patreon gives me a spreadsheet that enables me to do that fairly easily.

Now I could not post anything for all of December and send rewards directly via email using that same spreadsheet. But I can't do polls and such using that method. So I think it is better for me to post as normal, but at the new reward tiers, and send out special rewards directly via email to make sure that you are being properly rewarded for pledging at the old tier levels at the end of November.

I think that is everything for now.
