# the Royal Suggestion and the Public Vote

#### TL;DR
* future game choices will be alternating between *Royal's pick* and *public vote*
* A *Royal* is an opt-in for patreons, and will be chosen as a raffle
* The chosen *Royal* selects `3` games, and raocow chooses one from the 3.
* The *public votes* will now be from a list of `4` games, where all patreons vote.
* The vote is only for the next `1` game, the next vote will have a new set of `4`
* The `4` games will be from a list of games raocow is interested in playing.

#### The first Royals and Buckets
* First raffle for royals will choose `3`
* First bucket will be `14+1` games, patapons choose `3`
* Once a-side is caught up, it will adopt this system meaning more votes more faster
* draws/votes will be done `3?` games in advanced

raocow reserves the right to:
* insert any playthrough of anything of my chosing at anytime, aka the Star Fox clause.
* remove royals who offer 'troll' suggestions, or the like.

## Royals
#### sign up
* If you want to be eligible, you must let raocow know (leave a comment or PM or whatever)
* Let raocow know what you want to be called (pseudonym)

#### draw
* The draw will be filmed as a patreon video thing update.
  * all Royals go in a list on random.org, top name is the winner.
* The winner is removed from the next `5` draws


#### suggestions
* Royal makes three game suggestions, raocow get's final choice between the three.
* Feel free to have a *favorite*, or mark an order.
* If you know (and let raocow know) a particular game is *very* short, he might do two.
* You can suggest a series, but chances are raocow will just choose 1 game from the series to play.
* Do not request a "all the [x]", it'll be **several years** before the planned "all the [x]" run out. Not really realistic to ask for something that far in the future.
* raocow may not 100% the game, or play all the characters, or whatever. But he will do his best to show the game's value and have fun.

## Public Bucket
* Raocow selects `4` games, patreon votes & the top game is played.
* See Above

## Questions
* If I'm a Royal, is it okay if my picks are from the Public vote?
  * Yup! if your game is 1st in the public vote, the 2nd place vote will be the 'winner' instead.
* If I suggest some games from the public vote, are suggestions *not* from the vote pointless?
  * Nope! a game that hasn't shown up in the vote could be:
    * one on raocows big list, but hasn't shown up in the vote yet
    * a game raocow hasn't seen yet, but would totally want to play (either to choose or to add to the big list)
* Can I suggest a game I made, or helped make?
  * Yup!
