Idea to keep things fair for the Early Backers... (Patreon)

Hey Troops! So Episode 74 was the first of the Immersion Brekerers Episodes where Parlaimentary Desicions will impact the story going forward (I hope to everyone's entertainment) and you can expect the Economy, Faction and Heresy Effects to begin impacting future epsodes too!With that in mind, I had a thought.I spesifically said that my early backers would get all the perks offered to my highest tier backers regardless of any future pledges, and patreon doesn't allow me to set a spesific catagory for all my Early Backers that would allow them have the same benifits as my Sandwhich ones, and that ideally should include the ability to vote in polls and discussions.Normally that wouldn't be an issue, it would just mean people could DM me with ideas or to remind me to remind me about their perks or tell me their votes, but that's also more work for them, so I'm looking into migrating all of the community chats (the Parliment, the Wild Magic Obervatory, the Markets etc) to the public discord, restricting posting and commenting using the existing patron rolles, but crucially allowing folk to read what you draft.My thinking behing this is...

A) From a Roleplaying perespective, it allows fans to watch Patrons take on roles of faction leaders, like true Lords vested in Noble peerage hearing petitions and drafting legilsation to present at Parliaiment, or Merchants in Coffee Houses listening for the latest movements in the Markets, or Heretics silently plotting their secret meetings after the Temple sermon finishes...

B) It's a great way to let the community in on the fun, including the Early Backers with the ability to access the same chats regardless of how they choose to support in future, and it may encourge people to support.

Now this is by no means something I'm going to implement without talking it through with youse and the Discord mods, and I'd invite you to leave feedback in comments but if you're all okay with it we should already have the rolls in place to migrate to the server at a moments notice.All the Best, Elias, AKA Big Fat Socialist.
