Welcome to RTRs August 2024 Patreon!

Hi August Patrons!

Special thanks to everyone who pledged again for August, welcome back! And welcome to those of you that are new this month!

Friendly reminder for new or returning pledges:

Please be advised that if you're adjusting your pledges or are new to our Patreon- Notifications from Patreon are typically really delayed on Billing Day and we typically can't see those changes until later in the day or even the next day when we get an onslaught of notifications all at once. If you're concerned at all that we haven't seen your pledge- please just send us a Direct Message so we can look that up for you!

Also a friendly reminder for accessing content on the drive: 
Please be advised- due to the huge extent of content we are sharing with you- it can sometimes take a couple of days or so for everything to populate and show up on the drive. We can expedite the shows you're itching to get into by sharing those directly- so just DM us with those shows or movies. If you have any questions or concerns about whether you're missing content- please let us know!

We are  organizing all of the drives as billing settles and as Patreon sends us the billing reports. For any declines, we will temporarily remove you until the billing is resolved! For those of you that were unable to pledge for this month, we're sorry to see you go and hope to see you back soon!

In the meantime, while everything settles, we have this month's polls going for  New Movies and New Show! Be sure to weigh in!  (And remember you can vote for more than one ) Regular posting will resume again on the 3rd:)

Winners will be announced August 6th :D

For those that are new- these are the shows that ranked highest in our July Pulse test for the shows we are currently reacting to (a poll we post each month to gage your favorite shows so we react to those ranked highest more often!). The next Pulse test will take place on August 10th. (Whichever show wins the poll- will be reacted to and posted before the pulse test :D)

Current Top 10:

1 New Girl

2 Taskmaster

3 Hannibal

4 Scrubs

6 Friday Night Lights

7 The Bear

8 Doctor Who

9 X-Men 97

10 Criminal Minds

Expectations for Other Shows (Slower Rotation)

The following shows have 5 episodes or less and will be reacted to - though at a slower rate- until the current seasons are finalized. They will then be moved out of rotation and the next season will only be started if voted into rotation again.

The Office 1 episodes Left

Friendly reminders on new rules:

Number of Shows in Regular Rotation:

Going forward we will limit the total number of shows in regular rotation to 10. Based on this pulse test, we will simply take the top 10 ranked episodes and those will be the ones regularly reacted to until the next pulse test. The only fluctuation on this, will be when a new show is voted in that isn't already in rotation- we will have 1 week with 11.  (The second week of each month)

Monthly New Show Polls:

We will keep things the same with an opportunity each month to vote in a new show. New shows are at risk of being voted down in this pulse test if it doesn't secure a top 10 spot and has more than 5 episodes left in a season.

Shows that fall out of rotation:

Shows that don't make the top 10 rankings will be reacted at a much slower rate. Those with 5 episodes or less left in the season will be reacted to until the season is finished and then removed from rotation until voted in again. Those with more than 5 episodes will have one more chance to be voted into rotation in the next month's new show or pulse test poll before being removed completely from rotation.

Managing the Pulse Test:

If a shows average ranking is less than 1.10 three months in a row, we will remove from pulse test. Once a show is removed, it can be added back to pulse test if sponsored or it wins the monthly new show poll.

Thanks again for all the support!
