Random Ideas (Patreon)

Share my thoughts, Patreon?  Don't mind if I do!  Anyone wanna weigh in on these neuron-firings, feel free!

So a few things: we've got a dropbox pro account now, and rather than just emailing new sketches, we're probably going to share them out via Dropbox.  Cool?

We want to retire sketches that are not getting any votes on them, and we were thinking of the following rules:

1) Sketches that were part of a release and are 4+ months old with no votes ever will enter the possible retiree pool

2) If someone emails us or comments saying that they plan to vote for a picture eventually, we won't retire it

3) Retired sketches can still be voted on, but will be removed from the sketch factory until they are.

4) To avoid the tragedy of the commons, wherein many people want to see a picture done but they all want some other pictures first, we may occasionally hold a one-off vote for a sketch in the retiree pool - we'll work on this picture independently of the two week cycle, without anybody having to "waste" votes on it like some kind of Pr0n Martyr (my band's name, not yours).  This way we don't implement runoff voting and so all the polisci majors continue to hate us, but we get one of its marginal benefits.

We'd like to live chat/stream at some point - anyone recommend any services for such?  

The goal for animations is almost reached, and we're trying to decide how often those should be.  We may create a few "sketch animations" for voting purposes, and also because we're super psyched about getting the ball rolling on that front.
