Patreon Rewards - Voting System Update
Added 2023-11-20 16:30:01 +0000 UTCPlead read everything before voting!
Hello everyone! First of all, thank you so much for your continuous support!
As most of you already know, every month I make two separate polls to select the Patreon Rewards for each tier. Both polls have the same choices, but this gives a chance to the Extra Pink Cherry Blossoms subscribers to choose a second option from that same list. I'm aware this system could be confusing and there's a chance some of you might have missed previous polls. Another issue is having the same option win both polls, which decreases the variety that I wish to bring to the Patreon Rewards.
Because of these few reasons, I've been thinking about some ways to change the voting system but I want you to help me choose which one would best suit your interests (poll available below):
- Two separate polls with different voting choices; 1 poll with 4 voting choices for both Tiers and a second poll with 4 extra voting choices for the Extra Pink Cherry Blossoms Tier (making a total of 8 different choices for the highest Tier, distributed between 2 polls)
- One single poll for everyone with 7-8 voting choices total*; The most voted choice would go for the rendered artwork reward and the second most voted would go for the colored sketch.
*this would remove the ability for the Extra Pink Cherry Blossoms subscribers to vote twice
In this system I'm thinking of including a rule where the 3rd most voted choice would have a second rerun in the next Patreon Rewards Poll. If that option is still not a winner in the next month, then I'd work on it either way as part of an exclusive or an early access post (depending on the theme and ship). - Keep the current voting system; nothing would change and the same 7 voting choices would be used on both polls
Please vote below! I'll keep this poll up until the 30th of November and will implement the changes (if applied) on the December Patreon Rewards Poll!
Feel free to leave any feedback in the comments! I always wish to give you all the best experience!

Thank you so much for your feedback! I wanted to clarify that I wouldn't be producing 4 art pieces! The rewards would still be the same (colored sketch for both tiers and rendered artwork for extra pink cherry blossoms tier). This would only change how the voting system would work. My main reason for these possible changes is to avoid having the same prompt win both polls, which would decrease the variety of art I would like to do for the rewards each month. I'm not sure if this clears out any questions, I'm sorry if my post was somewhat confusing!

2023-11-22 12:07:56 +0000 UTCWhile I love the idea of the second option (One single poll for everyone with 7-8 voting choices total), I don't want the Extra Pink members to miss out or be out-voted because of the voting pool size. The part I enjoy most about this option is the outcome of second place; I like that it wouldn't be ignored and we'd still get something for second highest vote. All this said, with two polls (potentially having different prompts) producing 4 art pieces is unreasonable. Whatever the outcome of this voting change, I will still be a member and enjoy all of the content you give us. You have inspired me on my own art journey, and I always get excited when I see you've posted something. So, thank you for all your hard work; we truly appreciate all that you do.

2023-11-21 01:55:36 +0000 UTCI noticed that in the past but I wanted to confirm so that sounds great to me! I'll be changing my vote then! Thanks Sofia!

2023-11-21 01:49:37 +0000 UTCLike what I've said to Amanda, previous choices can always come back in future polls! The main thing that would change is which choices go to which style of reward (rendered artwork or colored sketch)

2023-11-21 01:01:08 +0000 UTCI can always bring back previous choices with no problem! I've already done that with a few on the past polls. The only thing that would change with the first option really is which choices go for which style of reward (rendered artwork or colored sketch). I always keep a list on me with every choice so your favourites will definitely come back!

2023-11-21 00:50:23 +0000 UTCStruggling a bit to pick one β I see the proβs in all of them. I want to choose the option of two separate polls with different options but Iβm worried about missing out π in all honesty, tho, Iβm really okay with whatever and anything you create for us is such a treat π©·

2023-11-20 21:51:00 +0000 UTCI like the current system but I'm not opposed to the two voting lists. I just worry that we'll miss out on a lot of really good prompts that don't win the polls, since there will be 4 extra choices getting cut from the Cherry Blossom tier. Would you be into the idea of bringing prompts that had high votes but didn't win, just to give them another chance at winning? That way we don't lose out on 4 whole other ideas that could be really awesome
