Eleventh Hour! November is here. VOTE! (Patreon)

That 'VOTE' applies to US citizens in an additional context, we have major elections shortly (Tuesday). That's all I'll say on the matter, not opening it to discussion or pushing an agenda, I just want to encourage democratic participation!

Monthly Notes:

This month - a new Ask ARA storyline post soon open to submissions will go up shortly, as well as open discussion of the new pinup/poll system that I want to roll out starting next year. I'll make a post about that too, share my ideas, get feedback from you all.

As for the pinup, Indigo(Indi and Digo) from Dreamkeepers is added from the (closed) waitlist. Vi (also from Dreamkeepers) seems pretty solidly in the lead. I'd never tell anyone to NOT vote for a character but... well let's just say that this is one of those instances where we all pretty much know who's going to win. Never has a character gotten 100+ votes in one month, and that's what would need to happen to Spyro to have any chance of beating Vi, so, votes for Vi are kind of.. well.. moot? At this point.

It's one of the problems that comes with this system, and one I think I have a decent workaround for with the new method that I need to write out. No system is perfect but at least votes can still be tallied for the rest of the roster.

If you don't know how to vote, read on!

=================

How voting works:

I make a roster of characters to choose from for my primary artwork each month. Each level of pledge gets a different number of votes, and you guys pick what I end up doing! Rules are...

=================

Votes:

-The roster keeps it's vote count from month to month.

-1$ Patreons get one(1) vote to spend. 5$ get two(2), 10$ get three(3), 25$ get ten(10), but can only put a maximum of 5 on one given character.

-If you have multiple votes, you can spend them all on one character, or split up between several.

-You can still vote after it ends, they will be added towards next month.

-Votes only count if your pledge processed that month.

Slots:

-I will start a new, better method of proposing characters, later in 2018!

Strikes+Removal:

-FK OCs will cycle on and off the roster over time.

-Characters receiving a disproportionately small number of votes OR patrons will get a flag on their portrait. Once more, and they will be removed.

-If removed, I will do a consolation pinup of varying quality that reflects the number of votes and time up on the roster to compensate, so the votes aren't wasted. This will be secondary to the monthly pinup winner.
