Explaining the $20/$50 random selection process
Added 2015-01-06 05:57:41 +0000 UTCIf anyone has read my posts in other forums, I am trying my best to make this Patreon thing as transparent as possible. I want you all to know up front exactly how many times you would pledge per game (4 for Aylia's Story), and what you are getting (chapter updates). I don't ever want anyone to feel screwed in this, as I appreciate everyone's support!
So, I just finished my first random selection process, and there were 12 people (9 $20 pledges, and 3 $50 pledges). How the process works is I have an excel spreadsheet which I keep updated with the supporters. When I come to a point in the game where I want to add content that is appropriate, I run a random number generator and use whomever is selected. I also am keeping track of who is selected and remove them from the pool for this game until everyone is selected (just trying to be fair). I plan to re-add everyone when a new game is started.
For this random selection, I am creating the bandit group that is plaguing Zalran. Meaning I selected 3 of you dastardly pledgers to be bandits! I will send out the messages to the winners after this post. If you were selected, basically, you can tell me what kind of personality you want your bandit to have, how you want him to look, what his name is, and any other little quirks he might have. Additionally, you can decline a selection and be thrown back in the pool if you would rather take your chances at becoming a different NPC.
All in all, I think this will be fun and should add some variety to the game. Don't hesitate to get creative with your character!

Pretty much everyone who is randomly selected will end up as a secondary character. That does not mean they won't get to cause a little mischief though! The credits comment is a good point. I'll need to figure that out. I'll come up with something. I promise.
