Some changes to tiers

Hello Patreon Patrons!

As always, thank you so much for your support. This Patreon page has been here for over nine months, and I haven't changed the "perks" for patrons at all so far. Today I made some tweaks and I wanted to let you know.

1. Hamlet ($1) tier: no change.

2. Village ($2) tier: no change.

3. Town ($5) tier: these patrons now get listed in text at the end of the video! I removed the perk of getting invited to a monthly patron livestream. I stopped doing those as I only had one attendee in the first few months. Nobody seemed to like them, so they're gone.

4. City ($10) tier: This used to be the tier to be listed at the end of the video. Patrons at this level now get access to archived livestreams. I want to do at least one public livestream per month and this tier (and above) will be able to watch them if they can't catch them live.

5. Metro Area ($20) tier: People in this tier used to get thanked verbally at least once at the end of videos. I may still do this, but only once in awhile. Instead I'm offering patrons of this tier the chance to do a one-on-one video chat with me I like to think of as "office hours." We can schedule a chat to talk about whatever city or channel stuff you'd like to discuss.

I hope you like the changes made. I tried to eliminate perks nobody used and take an opportunity to thank more of you at the end of videos. If you're a Metro Area patron and want to schedule an "office hours" with me, just send me a message. 

As I go through the year, I'll also be looking for opportunities to do "one-off" perks if I see an opportunity. Last year I sent postcards to Town, City, and Metro Area patrons that requested one. I'm strongly considering creating merch for the channel this year, and you better believe I'll figure out a way to make sure some patrons get some.

Thanks again!
