Heads up on the Sam and Ally results. (And how I'll handle tight results) (Patreon)

Hey folks.

So! the last poll was the tightest poll we ever had. In fact, it's was almost a draw by one single vote. Sam got 133 votes and Ally 132 votes. I think this one very rare occasion is a good opportunity to explore possibilities on how to handle really tight results and results ending in a draw.

After some debate on my discord and careful consideration. I have decide to address this in two different ways depending on how tight the results are.

- Scenario A: If two characters either have the exact same number of votes or are just off by barely one or two votes tops. Then they'll be considered a Draw and both characters will have a set done spread over two months. With the first character being the one that won by one or two votes and then the second one the next month. If it's a perfect tie in votes, then I will use a random name picker to randomly chose which one I draw first.

-  Scenario B: If two characters are very close to each other (A gap that is under 2 percent of the total votes). Then the winning character gets made but when it's time to chose the theme for the next poll, I offer the choice (in a poll) to either "save the character that barely" lost or just move on to a new theme and new vote for new characters. If people vote to "save" that character, then the character will be auto picked for the following month and get drawn.

If neither of these exceptional conditions are met, then it's business as usual.

Also note, should this happen in either case, an extra special poll will be made for tier III and tier IV patrons to take the place of the "character" poll that would usually take place. So you still keep your poll perks, it's just used in a different kind of poll. Such a poll could be a poll for the type of bondage to be portrayed on the "saved" character for example.

Going back to the Sam and Ally situation, this still makes Sam the winner and she will be the character next month. However, since Ally lost by barely a point,  this falls in Scenario A. So Ally will be the character to be done After the Sam set is finished. And a special poll to decide some of her bondage will be held for Tier III and Tier IV pats to replace the character poll that month, with Tier IV still having a poll to chose the actual scenario.

These are of course extremely rare, as usually the lead is clear. But sometimes, this can happen and It wouldn't be fair to just ignore the fact that two character are pretty much both winners and should be accounted for.
