Expansion Gauntlet: Explained
🕑 Added 2021-04-06 22:54:33 +0000 UTCIf you are new here and are subscribed to the Hero Tier, Congratulations! As part of the Hero Tier, You have access to participating in monthly voting sessions for deciding what morph I will make. That's right, at least one morph every month will be a viewer choice! If you are a member of the Hero teir, you have the option to suggest Ideas for the expansion gauntlet EVERY MONTH. Allow me to explain how this system works:
At the beginning of each month, people in the Hero Tier will have the opportunity to submit a SINGLE celeb/character for possible entrance in the Expansion Gauntlet. I will set up a new poll every month that will be open for two weeks (Or midway through the month essentially) to help narrow down viewer ideas. From there, I will use a Random spinner tool online to choose 5 ideas submitted by the community (Like the five golden tickets in a way), which will then be voted on by everyone in the Patreon. So those of you in the Sidekick tier, do not worry! You will still have a voice in what gets made each month! Since I am starting this in April, this month's morph will not be made until the beginning of May. From that point on, you guys will have one image every month that will be recommended by the community
Let me explain how this works, so everyone can understand what I mean:
Part 1: Requests
At the beginning of the month, I will extend a post to those in Hero Tier which will allow them to request a girl to be entered into the Expansion Gauntlet drawing for the month. Each month I will assign a inflation type. For example, the expansion type for April 2021 is: "Blueberry: Spherical". You guys in hero tier will be able to request someone who you would want to see inflated like that. I do have to set some ground rules for everyone, to avoid some unnecessary issues:
1: You will only be allowed to suggest A SINGLE IDEA per month. The first comment you make is the one I will take, so if you make any number of other comments asking for someone else, it will NOT be considered. One choice per month, so choose wisely.
2: If it's a celeb, make sure to use your head when you request them. Make sure they are of proper age (18+, no exceptions) and have enough material for me to work off of. Also, DO NOT ask for specific hairstyles/ ages for each girl (Unless you want a certain character, which I will explain further below). I hope you all trust me enough to pick good pictures of the chosen girl, I promise I will put my best foot forward!
3:If you want a certain character from a movie, Make sure to request the actress and their character in said film/tv series (for example, if you want the MCU Black Widow, you would request something like: Scarlett Johansson as Black widow)
4: If you want a certain character that either doesn't have a live action counterpart/ you want a cosplayer to represent them (My favorite thing by the way) just request the name. (I.E., you want a Black Widow cosplay instead of Scarlett, just write "Black Widow")
5: If you want a cosplay to represent a character, PLEASE do not suggest cosplayers along with them. I know that may suck the fun out for a lot of you, but believe me when I say I will pick the right girl for the character. Besides, if someone suggests a certain person it could get messy and all that with image quality and references, so leave the cosplay choosing to me.
6: Any rules that I had on my Deviantart account related to requests apply to the Expansion Gauntlet. This means no underage girls, no over-aged girls, No sexually explicit content like nudity, and NO GUYS. Sorry, but I'm still only comfortable with morphing girls.
7: Any questions you have about this can be asked at any time! Whether it be clarification on rules, helping decide on who to request, or even just asking if some person is ok to suggest, feel free to reach out. I am here to provide for you guys, don't forget it!
Part 2: Expansion Gauntlet drawing
Midway through each month I will close the suggestion post and put all the requested characters/people in a random spinner wheel to spit out 5 Ideas for final voting. This is the one part of the process that is a gamble for both me and you, seeing as how what gets chosen is in the hands of The A.I. running it. The first five that get selected will be forwarded to the final vote for Patreons, while the remaining ideas will get denied.
But DO NOT WORRY! You are welcome to suggest any denied ideas in any of the following months, with the caveat being that the expansion type may not be the same as the previous month (Lets say you suggested Widowmaker for blueberry, but she isn't one of the lucky five. You can suggest her again next month, but she may be for another expansion like "Bottom Heavy Pear" or "Balloon".)
You can suggest any rejected persons as many times as it takes to get put in the voting pool, months after months if you are that driven. The idea is that as this page grows and becomes more successful, the competition will be stiffer to get chosen and people may not be attached to the same girl over and over again.
Once the five are chosen, we move to the final leg before creation: Patreon Voting!
3: Expansion Gauntlet Voting
Midway through each month I will release a final vote open to everyone (Both people in the sidekick and hero tier). From there, you guys will have till the first of next month to vote on who you want to see get made into a morph. Obviously after that you can still vote, but I will not be checking on it anymore.
This poll will consist of the chosen 5 subjects, and whoever gets chosen will be morphed! And as for the others? They will be discarded in the same way as those in the first suggestion stage, but those 4 losers can also be suggested for the next month if people so wish (Say someone like Clover from totally spies gets in the final vote but doesn't get chosen. People from the Hero Tier can suggest the same girl next month, using them as their one suggestion)
For clarity sake, you can either chose a new girl, a rejected idea from the previous spin wheel OR a rejected girl from the final poll. ONLY ONE, you do not get more than one idea per month no matter who you are (At least not at this moment, but that could change as time goes on of course)
I mean other than that, I think We are ready to get started! If anyone ever has any questions or what not, feel free to leave a comment or message me on Patreon. I hope everyone is as excited as I am! Let's get this party started!
