New Patreon game! Your opinion is needed!

Heyas folks,

in celebration of the Poll option working on Patreon again, let's have yet another vote! This time it's something really fundamental, so I'd like as many as possible to vote and of course your comments as my supporters are very welcome too!

In the last few weeks I have been pondering whether to change my Patreon a bit. The current system has been more or less the same since I started the Patreon account over a year ago and thus I thought it might need a new idea for a change.

I checked out many various other Patreon accounts amongst fellow translators as well as other creators. What I was looking for was an idea to give you, my supporters, an interesting incentive while at the same time doing something I can realistically handle with my current RL.

The answer I reached is a Patreon game.

Now you will ask "what the hell? Isn't this just a place to support a creator and not some gaming platform?"

And I will answer: Yes, that's true. The basic idea is to support the creator but why not put the whole thing into an interesting, exciting frame!

And here is my idea: The Rise of Asuria Oukoku

The basic setting is a medieval world where you support a corrupt village -> city -> kingdom in its growth by paying taxes. Paying taxes comes with a benefit, namely early chapter previews. Depending on how much you pay in your respective rank, you will have access to more chapter previews. 

The series affected by this will be: Hachinan, Nidoume and Summoned Slaughterer. 

Of course it doesn't end with just setting some fixed ranks and be done with it. The Rise of Asuria Oukoku will be completely dependent on the number of Patrons. The bigger the kingdom's population, the more ranks become available and the more events will be triggered.

Thus, as the kingdom grows, so will the available ranks and triggered events leading to more rewards for the respective ranks.

Advantages:

- Nothing much changes for you, except you get more rewards for your pledge. There will be NO changes to the regular release schedules.

- It's an incentive for me to work harder aka translate during the week after work to build/keep stock.

- You get to read chapters ahead of time and can even enjoy some fun World-Simulator like game without any drawbacks.

Disadvantages:

- Participation in events will require extra payment (won't be more than 1$ per patron per month though).

- This game will depend on the number of participants (Patrons). I will give it some kick-off boost by advertising an incentive, but in my current plans I expect it to get really lively with 100+ Patrons. So it might take a while until it picks up speed (if it does). 

Personally I think this can be very fun and entertaining. But of course I'm not someone to push things through without caring about your guys' opinion. After all 30 heads are better than 1. ^^

The polls end is set to 22nd December. That's the first day of my vacation, so I will make a final decision then. Until then you are free to vote, comment or ask questions. :)

Greetings,

Shasu
