Milestone #5 Funded! Caucusing Thread
🕑 Added 2024-10-03 15:23:18 +0000 UTCMilestone #5 is funded! Read about it here: https://ventdev.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=4621
This thread is for Patreon caucusing. The main caucusing thread is here: https://www.ventdev.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=4620
Only about half of contributors have access to Patreon, but everyone who has contributed has lifetime access to the official forums. So, if you can, please use the forums. If you do not have access to the link above, it's because you have not messaged me on here or the forums to link the accounts. (I need a forum username and Patreon username or email.)
But for those of you who refuse to use the forum, use this thread for caucusing.
If you're unfamiliar with how this works, I will open a voting thread soon. There, you'll cast your votes. At the end of the election, we order bounties by vote count, with bounties with the same or more votes than bounty values being on top. The remaining bounties are ordered by popular vote. We go through this list and subtract the bounty values from the funds until there are no more funds. You can see a table that shows this in action with the Milestone #1 results.
So what's this caucusing thread about? As you saw in the previous link, you can fund a thousand-dollar bounty with only one hundred votes. The key is to get more votes than everyone else. So use this thread to plan and plot with your fellow voters to get what you want funded.
I will also use this thread to update the voting status and notify of any events, such as the end of editing and voting closing time.
This Milestone is for $3,987.61 worth of bounties. No artwork, please, as we're still having trouble completing artwork for Milestone #2.
Votable bounties with no restrictions can be found here. https://www.ventdev.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=47
Votable bounties that don't have their requirements met are here. https://www.ventdev.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?fid=56

Remember, even if you don't have many votes, you can have much more power if band together and vote for a common entry. Likewise, scattering your votes around lessens your chance of getting any one item funded. That's my observation from the last 3 milestones, anyway.
Good Luck!

Post #16 yoshiyoshigraf Quote Post #14 Looks like getting #183 in this round of voting would require at least 75 votes to get in (bumping "Work on AeroMogul" down/out). I think we might be a little too late to do that unless there's someone sitting in the background waiting to "snipe" us eBay-style. But I'll keep it in mind for the next round of FBS..! I'll back it with you then if you like? Just reply here when you're ready and you can hold me to my word Quote Post #9 Maaaaaaan... Throwing my votes behind #146 is feeling mighty tempting right now... Quote Post #12 I think Eric might cry if we give him another $2k-worth bounty to solve :cool: ...Do we want to see a grown man cry? I mean, I am offensive, and I find the concept to be Australian... Wait, I think I got the quote back-to-front... Anyway, it would need at least another 100 votes to knock off both #166 and #76 to make enough room for it... This might be another "champion it for next FBS" items... @samuelgsimard, would you consider repositioning your 20 votes elsewhere, so that #21 can be championed next FBS (i.e. maybe StephenClark and I can throw our votes behind it with you)..? It's all good if you're all in, I won't judge..! ------ Since I can see @thexa4 threw his weight behind #97 and #80, I'm pretty happy; that's one of my favourites that's getting a sniff now. @Boscostix, can I interest you in trying to squeeze in #196? Based on my maths, there's room for it if no other major changes occur... Otherwise I'll potentially poke #324. ...I'll behave, and hold off with #146 this time around. ==================================================== Post #17 wasgehtdichdasan Quote Post #16 That was Not my Intention biggrin I didnt contribute for this round until now - but will pay 20 bucks for 183. if we get the 200 together its fully founded - maybe we can discuss this with Eric of he will extend this milestone founding.
