The Battle Plan 17 December 2019 (Patreon)

No, no, no, Colonel. This could result in a... Great Scott! You could conceivably encounter 50,000 subscribers! The consequences of that could be disastrous!

What do you mean?

I foresee two possibilities. 1: coming face to face with 50,000 subscribers would put you into shock and you'd simply pass out. Or 2: the milestone could create a time paradox, the result of which could cause a chain reaction that would unravel the very fabric of the spacetime continuum and destroy the entire universe! Granted that's a worst-case scenario. The destruction might in fact be very localised, limited to merely our own galaxy.

Well, that's a relief.

So, 50k in 2019? Doesn't look likely right now, although I'll probably get close, which will be nice. I've already chalked up more new folk than in any previous year so I'm pretty happy. The interesting thing is that while Transport Fever 2 has performed quite nicely for views (the last 3 weeks being the most viewed weeks I've done) it hasn't generated the kind of leap in performance I'd optimistically hoped for.

That's fine. Good is good enough. And since I'm in this for the long haul I just have to keep plugging away. There are a couple of maneuvers I'm about to execute that could prove interesting. No I'm not telling you what they are, but the first parts will appear before the end of the year.

You've got some schedule down your front

• Tue: Transport Fever 2 and Soviet Republic
• Wed: Transport Fever 2
• Thu: Transport Fever 2
• Fri: Transport Fever 2 and Soviet Republic
• Sat: Transport Fever 2
• Sun: Transport Fever 2 and Super Mega Baseball
• Mon: Transport Fever 2

Once I'm done with the first series of Transport Fever 2 I'll drop the schedule back to 2-3 per week which will clear space for Other Things That Might Just Work.

For those of you maintaining your Collect And Complete Colonel Goes Full Time totalizers at home, I need to be gaining around 5x the views per video I'm getting right now in advertising terms - so increasing from 300k-400k views per month to 1.5M-2M. That's quite the wall to climb, but I'm going to climb it. Obviously, those who become members on YouTube or sign up on Patreon make a bigger difference here, but everything is moving in the right direction, and I've got time.

Until next time, be sure not to insert foreign matter into Mr Fusion.
