PETTY'S DOZEN TIER IS LIVE!
If you wanna upgrade now's the time! Also, i've been giving it some thought and figured to ditch the old system of having a certain number of current and retro players, and just give everyone 2 suggestions, so you can choose if you want to suggest 2 current players, or 2 retro, or 1 from each. Then the voting would all be done in the same poll as well, so the end results would always vary and would show a more realistic picture of what you guys want. I'll make a poll to see what you think about it.

Very interested to see how this will turn out. The risk you run is turning off those who prioritize one vs. the other, particularly in light of the fact that some patrons put their finger on the scale with multiple accounts. What would be bad for you is if, for instance, 1 user with 4 votes at the $2 tier ($8 total) causes 3 users (i.e., 3 votes) at the $8 tier ($24 total) to unsub. You lose $16 that way. This is already kind of an issue now (I know I’ve felt a little underrepresented at the $8 tier, but I don’t have the time or energy to play the multiple-accounts game; I’ve considered downgrading though since there are usually one or two winners that are a little sus and feel like only 7 or 8 actual humans could’ve possibly wanted them in), but this sort of thing will be more egregious without the guardrails of those quotas. I realize it’s a bit of a pain but weighting votes by tier seems to me the best way to ensure the success of the higher tiers, including the current $8 tier. Otherwise you run the risk of higher-tier patrons feeling like suckers (same $ spent as multiple-account users, but less voting power) and also not having time to deal with multiple accounts (and so choosing to unsub altogether, or subscribing at a lower level to at least lessen the feeling of inequality, especially if more sus winners start making it in). Currently it seems like the best value is the $2 account since that gives you the most voting power per dollar spent, when ideally with a product/subscription the seller tries to make the value get better as the quantity/tiers get higher. Please lmk if I’m misunderstanding anything about the way this all works.
Agreed. But instead of weighting votes, I'd suggest making each vote equal by changing the prices so that each cyberfaces is worth1$ (i.e. the 2 faces tier pledge is 2$, and the petty dozen tier is 12$ and so on...). Personally I was going to upgarde from the 4 faces tier to the 8 faces tier, because I thought I was going to get 8 current players each month (I dont use retro faces at all). But now with not being sure of what I'm going to get each month, I am afraid that more than 4 retro players might enter the pack. Meaning that less than 8 current players will be in it, making me "lose" my money, even if it's just 1$.
