So, its been brought to my attention by that cocky Air Force bastard (love you), that there maaaaay be some confusion in expectations. So, in addition to the the FAQ channel in discord, I'll also be adding a "Shipment" channel for people to pop in and see.
But before I do that I just wanna spell it out for all newcomers (and past newcomers) so that everything is clear.
The way it works:
1) I'm a one-man show pretty much. The team is multi-state and multi-national so logistically, I'm the belly button for most things.
2) Shipping and 'when am I receiving my comics'?
I have a batch system. Which pretty much, means I bulk-ship comics once, until the next is ready. These are tier-dependent. I've worked the wording as best I could in the tier rewards but it may be confusing.
Operators will always be Batch 1 (Catch up issues / TPB's)
Muffin Bears and Battle Buddies will always be Batch 2 / 3
3) Batch Prep ~
Stage 1) Build the PDF's
Stage 2) Send up the PDFS for proofs (longest part as the printing takes a bit.)
Stage 3) Collect the names for the batches and prepare shipping.
Stage 4) Actually shipping. This is the last longest part as once I ship everything out I will wait to confirm that all book has been recieved undamaged, and send out replacements. Once that's good I move onto the next batch.
First come, First Serve.
The intent of this is to be first come, first serve. To reward those who've pledged before with the entire collection.
Back issues make this less special. But I know folks want them, thus the soft-reset we're going through right now.
Some of you guys joined during a period where I was in the middle of fulfilment and missed a few variants already. I probably won't backfill those, however I will "re-start" with the Mech Variant, and Sleeping Variant.
Again, I'm just a one-man show as it comes to fulfilment.
The Caveat to all this is, I have a NEW tracking system in place so this should get easier in the future and more streamlined.
