Malevolent Chapter Polls[]
Malevolent is released weekly to Patrons paying $5 or more (currently the "Jackdaw" tier.) Episodes are called chapters and vary in length week to week and are strung together to form a cohesive narrative, then released to the public. At the end of every chapter is a poll with anywhere between 2 and 6 choices which will have an impact on what happens next. Although Jackdaws can hear weekly chapters, only patrons at the Voices tier ($10) and up may participate in voting.
The end of most weekly chapters features a voice to help remind and clarify the choice for voters.
While polls are garaunteed to be open for at least 24 hours, they have often remained open for several days and do not get a strict announcement of closure unless exceptional circumstances occur.
Culture & Discussion[]
Discussions around the poll and which option to choose each week typically take place in the comments on their respective Patreon poll post or in the INVICTUS Discord's special role-locked Patreon channels.
