August 2017 BEnchmark Rewards (Patreon)

First off, it's a heated competition between the themes for the next Patreon voting poll, with the Plush Push Doors slightly in the lead! But it's far from decided as there are still two days left! The voting ends on Wednesday, August 9th at 5PM EST!

In other news, I haven't gone on about it much, but I'd like to make a note of the current BEnchmark Rewards. For those who don't know, for patrons who are successfully charged for 10 posts, they temporarily gain access to the rewards of the next tier up! It hasn't been too relevant with the lack of voting polls, but I've finally managed to organize the current BEnchmark status of all my patrons. That said, I'll be posting a Google Sheet link for everyone to see what their current status is. Please note that this list the screen name of my patrons. If you'd like to remain anonymous, please let me know, however the best I can do at this point is shorten the name to initials.

August 2017 BEnchmark Rewards Sheet 

A little breakdown of each column (not counting the Tier column). First there's the "Increased Voting and Suggestion Priviledges". What this means is the next time I have a major voting poll (like the one to decide the next characters I draw), patrons on this list gain suggestion and voting privileges of the next tier up. For example, if someone is listed on the "Grand" column, they'll be able to suggest two characters instead of one. The BEnchmark is only valid for the major voting polls of the listed month, so be sure to check in whenever it's updated.

Next is the "Increased Commission Discounts". Like the voting column, names listed here will gain discount rewards of the next tier up. This counts for whenever a patron decides to request a commission that meets the criteria for a discount. However, these do not stack and only count for one picture until the next BEnchmark is met.

As for the next two columns, "Free Issue" and "Special Mention," those are pretty much reserved for the release of my next product on my online store and only count for certain tiers. There's not really much I can do to apply this to lower tiers because I don't know a decent way for it to work for those of the Giant tier (who pretty much receive those rewards by default anyway). 

And that's the BEnchmark Rewards system. It's still something I'm experimenting with, but it shouldn't be too bad, though keeping track of it might get harder the more patrons join. Anyway, if you have any question, be sure to contact me via comments, messages, etc.

That's all for now!
