Finishing the Update System Shift
Added 2020-12-09 19:25:54 +0000 UTCHey friends and fans, Kairomaru has been a bit slow on the uptake this month.
As you all know, last month we ran a Poll to determine how to better handle Story Updates.
'Updating Every Story in the Rotation Once a Month' won by a landslide 80% to 20%.
But I forgot about how the Tier Rewards System is set up currently.
I'm going to be honest and upfront with all of you who make this possible.
I CAN'T keep up with that. I have 13 Updates this month alone! That's an update about every other day! This is even a 'slow' month, by comparison to other months, for Tier Rewards! My wrists need rest or I'm going to develop Carpal Tunnel. Then I won't be able to write for two weeks or more.
So... Here's two solutions to solidify the Update Schedule.
1) I go back to the Monthly Update Poll and some stories end up left on the back burner for a month or longer between updates.
2) I change how the Tier Reward System works for the Captain, General, and Legendary General Tiers.
This change would give the Captain Tier their Reward every 3 months. The General Tier Reward would be every 2 months and the Legendary General Tier would be a Monthly Reward.
A Poll just for each Tier, therefore a Captain's Poll, a General's Poll, and a Legendary General's Poll would be put up on this schedule and only that Tier would be able to vote on it.
Each of these Polls would be able to choose 1 Story to be updated that Month! That means every 3rd month, the Captain's Poll would take place. Every other Month the General's Poll would take place. Then EVERY Month the Legendary General's Poll would take place.
With this System; Captains, Generals, and Legendary Generals get exclusive Polls to choose Story Updates much more often than the current pace of their Tier Rewards! Plus EVERY story in the Rotation gets an update each month!
Let me know what you think, my Patrons! If I should put up a Poll or if I should make the change!
ALSO this would take effect starting in January 2021, so ALL of the updates this month will still be done. But I can already foresee myself approaching burnout and potential injury if I try to use the new Update System with the old Tier Reward System.

If they ever deadlock I can always leave it up to chance and run a randomizer, or flip a coin. Or just cast my own vote as a tie breaker.

2020-12-09 20:36:45 +0000 UTCOption 2 is a sensible adjustment. It keeps the tier-based benefits that inspired many to up their pledges, while making the workload more bearable for you. Win-win, I say.
