Thank You!

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who's decided to take the plunge and become a Patron.  A number of you have messaged me to ask if there'll be anything special for Patrons, and yes, there definitely will be.  I don't want to start doing Patron-only videos, because that would mean I've started to go down the "You must pay me to watch my content" path, I always want my gaming videos to be free for everyone.

However you guys have gone the extra mile for me so you deserve something special.  I have a few ideas myself but I'm keen to hear what you think.

Just shut up and take my money.. Ohh wait - ehh dont shut up :-p hahaha..

Peter Borregaard

It's time to buy yer Dayton Airshow tickets and take a Cobra gunship ride

arcwelder

You could show bloopers, gag reel, behind the scenes,... only for patrons

Just your laughing is enough for me, cheers!

Gouleid Hassan Farrah Mirreh

Foreman in the salt mines?

Aelric FitzWilliam

Yeah, T-shirts with the white bearded guy from the Mingles with Jingles cover would be great. Just put its cost into the pledge.

Yuri Geinish

Honestly, a lot of your charme is being yourself, not ducking down to youtube, WarGaming or anybody else, and having a very clear, trustworthy line in criticism. That's what I loved about your Mingles with Jingles lately. It's open, it's honest, and it's critical. So keep doing what you LIKE and ENJOY, this way you stay the one we like so much.

Klony

I was suggesting special or just "free" Cups or T-Shirts once a year. But honestly, It's already an honor being one of the few people being able to talk to you, since there is surely much less traffic on Patreon than on Youtube. Also, first thing I did here. Got myself a patreon account to support you. I love your videos for years now, I've been using an addblock because fuck google and I think it is finally time to give something back to you. Thanks for entertaining me the last couple of years.

Klony

I hate watching ads, I'm using an ad blocker, so I've been watching your videos for free so far - that's why I'm happy for this opportunity to support you directly. Please take my money and keep doing what you're doing!

Thomas S

What plunge mate? I'm giving up a dollar to keep reliably entertaining content going up? I honestly think it's just a reliable investment. If you are going to do special vids for patrons, I'm happy to get "bonus!" stuff rather than "pay for content" stuff. Eg. Personal trips. Vlog style maybe. Keep the gaming content open for everybody though. I'd like periodic votes on content going up (choose all the stuff you like to do and you think would make money and let the patrons give their more formal opinion on what they want).

vren55

Jingles - just became a patron for what you've done and are doing. For me; no special things are needed; just stay yourself and keep doing what you're doing.

Mark Groothuis

Thank you for asking for suggestions. But I'm here giving you my money for work you've done in the past. In other words, keep doing what you're doing. Take care! :D

BoredSights

Just became a patron...it will not be through until November 1st. But if I could recommend anything.....could you take a look at STAR WARS EMPIRE AT WAR on steam. Go to the workshop. And download THRAWNS REVENGE and give a little play through of it? Or perhaps any of the others. At the very least mention to people that now the mods are on the workshop and thus very easy to download and play.... As for something for patrons only.....I got nothing. Enjoy your Grant from me each month. :) Cheers....and keep this quiet if you want to. I prefer the shadows. From... Grand High Lord Inquisitor to the Gnomish Overlord. :P Also. Could you try your hand on the JgPzE100 or Yamato....a little review of them? Good luck with the craptacular Izumo btw. Don't if you don't want to ofc.

James Bohlmann

Just keep on doing how you do what you do and speak your mind.

Uwe Boehm

I'm happy just to offer a small amount of support no perk needed for me any way.

Gordon Mcillroy

It's always nice to get a perk but I'm already getting what I am paying for. The entertainment value in what you produce is worth more than my meagre contribution.

ThirtyMileSniper

I think you're right to keep the videos open to everyone - I'm with the guys above me that are happy just to support you. That said, I understand wanting to make it special, so the three ideas that leap to my mind would be either patron-specific merch (shirts maybe?), a periodical stream with some of the patrons for doing silly things like WoT hide-and-seek, Warthunder biplanes vs bombers, that kinda thing, and the 3rd idea is a periodical patron Q&A vid? Visible to everyone, but questions from those us on here, something like that./

James Reid

Keep doing your videos for everyone, please :-) Your humor, laughs and opinions is a resource of life energy for me :-) And please, take a long break if you feel it too stereotyped for yourself. Do not change yourselt to "donator's video machine", please :-)

Tazmen

I like the Patreon possibility to support a person. Jingles, you have given me so many hours of great streaming, gameplay, humor, laughs, your great wit and your fantastic view on people and life. So I decidet to support you a tiny tiny bit, that im even ashamed of the amount compared to what enjoyment I have recieved. Hope you will get the same patreons here as you have viewers on youtube. You are the first person I subscribe to, not just giving a tip.

Henrik Barlach

I'm quite happy for you to just keep doing what you're doing.

Ashley Keen

Just keep up the good work, love hearing your stories. From one old bearded ex sailor to another.

William James

i will support you all the way our mighty overlord

gregory

the only thing i ask for is a break from the salt mines all great overlord. even if its just a 1 second glimpse of the sun then right back to work i go.

Alex Raleigh

Jingles been watching you since 2011 but i've always felt guilty using ad blocker on your videos, so i am glad i can finally support you directly. Keep doing what you do best thank you!

Mingjie Yang

Umm....to be honest I'd just be happy if you kept producing content as normal , Don't really need a reward to support the salt mines.

Paul Baker

I'm glad that there is now a decent way to support you. I'll admit that I've had an ad blocker for quite some time on Youtube. Every time I tried to whitelist someone's channel, YT would slap me with a 5+ minute unskippable video. Much better to support you here.

Nick Rowland

Been watching your content for about 18 months and was only too happy to jump on-board as soon as you mentioned the page at the end of 'Mingles'. Having recently left the military after 24 years, I sometimes hear my own thoughts coming out of your mouth (which is almost terrifying to be honest) and wanted to contribute a little something in return for the hours of enjoyment you have already provided, and the hours still to come.....Howdy Folks!

Madcap Magician

Been enjoying your content for many years, Gnome Overlord. Only too happy to join Patreon just to support your work and our continued servitude!

crispybacon

Jingles, I've been enjoying your content for quite awhile and I'm glad that I can contribute a little direct support so that the Great Gnome Overlord may continue to grant us the privilege of listening to you rant about the asshats and "window licking, mouth breathing, oxygen thieving morons" in the online gaming communities... your caustic and cutting turns of phrase are PRICELESS!!! redknight1322

James Burrett

Dearest Benevolent Overlord Jingles and Gracious Lady Rita: please accept my small tribute as my appreciation for the joy you bring to my pitiful life.

Steve (Ronin or Grognard) Scarlett

Honestly if I was to wish for anything I'd like to see you continue to expand your game commentary outside of the Wargaming/War Thunder community. I have loved the Ghost Recon: Wildlands, Cold Waters and XCOM2 playthroughs. I also remember your Alien: Isolation playthrough as well; pushing your comfort zones was great (that one had *me* hiding my eyes half the time - the atmosphere in that game was just so like what I remember Alien was like as a kid). I can't even remember when I started watching you - but it was at least as long ago as when there wasn't Tier 10 tank destroyers in WoT so I'm guessing it's been awhile; and it is the way and also how you can tell a story that has always kept me coming back - thank you!

SnowTheBard

I will gladly help you. Don't have much to give away due to being a student but everything helps I hope. And you jingles is my daily dose of fun. So I can't thank you enough.

John Grandt Markvard Høeg

So many hours of entertainment, no thank you Jingles!

Fat Freddy's Cat

I will happily pay good money to watch Jingles play Hello Kitty Online. But I'll double it for Alien in VR!

John Ritchie

Been watching you for 4 years now and am pleased that I can give a little back. You sir are the special event in my evenings after work. I get home, prepare food and can only consume it if I have a jingles episode of anything, else I will not be happy with what I am eating. I for one do not need anything "special" for my pledge. I need my daily dose of Jingles' dumb shit 😁 Whatever you decide to give us, it has to be only decorative. I wouldn't even go for discord..."wow, look at me, I am a Patron and I can speak with Jingles, while you scrubs can't"...seems quite unfair.

IceTeaFoot

I won't lie. I just like your random nonsense. :D I like even more the historic stories and your travel babble (with videos). Get outside more! And go to the barber shop on the way, ffs! What is this white beard and tufts of grey hair? Do you think you are Dumbledore or something? Hahaha! Take care! We are with you.

KS

I started watching 3 years ago when I was in hospital for my left knee replacement. I was a part time wot player because you don't get time off in the us army. But after my knee blew out in Seoul Korea and was shipped home to Illinois I had some extra time to explore and ran across your page. With the advice I've gotten better at wot and wow. Three years seems awhile but your content has always been diverse and informative and great fun to watch. Since military service I own my own Trucking company and I listen mingles with jingles religiously and catch up watching during the evenings. Keep up the good work don't change bud! Ps I don't know if this is a thing or not but there needs to be a mighty jingles sticker I can purchase to put on the back of my semi trailers to help get the word out.

Dalton J Younker

You are what got me in to wot and wows every time I needed a honest review on a tank or ship I would turn to you. I look forward to Monday for mingles with jingles and I love the wide range of games you play and stream. I followed you on twitch from the start and love the stream so here you go my friend $1 and look forward to all future videos.

Sean Birchall

Also maybe you could set up a Discord server and have chats with us.

Emalkartha

For a $1 or £1 do a scroll of us Patrons on screen at the end of Mingles with Jingles. Maybe for a higher tier have a drawing to play a few matches on stream with you. Stuff like that.

Emalkartha

No problem! I love your videos and have no issue supporting you at all. As someone who has watched everyone of your uploads, some several times over! I think its totally worth it and hope you continue to do what you love :) As for hat we get? I don't care lol. I support you cause I want to, not cause I want something from it.

Kellen

Tbf I wouldn't expect anything more than just a casual shoutout to your patreons on mbe your Mingles with Jingles videos. Like the one you uploaded now.

Bald Zeus

Hard to say really I've been watching your videos for the last must be 9 years now and i have to say i cant call out any one of your videos that I would consider "bad" I still do world of tanks myself (not that i do to well) . as for suggestions its hard to say what to recommend for it to be practical, I myself am planning to go into the navy next year as an engineer (weapons, marine or aviation) could do a shoutout thing for those that have YT channels but again that is what i perceive to be impractical... and probably is, so the choice is yours really jingles

Axial

I would recommend Not doing early access to videos as it's a pain from what I have been told and most people forget to watch them here. Tbh I don't have any good suggestions as to patron benefits maybe a vote for casual Saturday videos but even that sounds meh as an option

Praying Mantits

I have subbed you a few years ago and you are by far the best out there. It is your comments and the way you do them that make all your content so interesting. I may not like all the games you do but I watch all because of the former. Thank you for your service,I also served US Navy 67-73 as a boiler tech. I look forward to many more of your uploads. Thank you "Gnome Lord."

Henry Jew III

Perhaps you could have a separate area for Patrons to send you replays? I have been subbed to you for... honestly cannot remember. Let's just say Wanker of the Week was still a thing when I subbed. Since then I have sent you countless replays (good ones) in hopes of pleasing our Gnome overlord with my gameplay. But as you have said, you get thousands a day. Perhaps that could be a way to reward patrons? Just throwing it out there. Keep up the amazing work Jingles! Despite all the chaos that has gone through my life from my mom and uncle getting cancer (both thankfully were able to have the affected area removed), you have been the one constant. So for that I thank you. God Bless ya you old gnome. PS: Thank you for your service. o7

Osean

Just do what you want Jingles, the community that you have built around yourself will support you; especially when YouTube starts with its disgusting, Orwellian monetization and censorship policies.

Fritz

Just doing what you have been doing we geezers need to support each other, quite literally, besides you make me laugh. UBU and never stop.

Joseph Chedester

Its a privillige to sponsor you Jingles! I usually only play mobile games, but I love your channel and like arcwelder said, you make Mondays bearable :) No real ideas on what to do for patreons, I'm mainly here to support you and am happy with everything you do for us.

Frank Hoppenbrouwers

Something that other content makers do is offer up the content to patrons before non-patrons see it. I've honestly never bothered to avail of those offers, because it'd mean yet another site to check every day to see if there was something new posted. However, perhaps you could do a variant - the historical "chat" bits you put on the end of some videos could potentially be standalone content that patrons receive n days/weeks ahead of publishing on YouTube. It's not exclusive content that way, but for those people who care about such things, it's a perk. I think it was on a Matt & Tom video where they talked about Patreon, and Tom was talking about not wanting to feel beholden to the patrons - someone commented that you (they) shouldn't, and that Patreon was usually (for video content creators) a way for people to say "I subscribe to the cult of you", not "I subscribe to WarThunder videos, now make another one dammit".

Duncan

I would like the opportunity to play a few games with you, and I think a lot of us would. Hell I only play on the US servers, but for this opportunity I would create and grind out for the EU.

John Smith

This is a good idea, just have a patreon only voice and text chat room. I now Squire (youtuber) also has this and uses it to run ideas through.

Kris Kristiansen

You make Mondays - BEARABLE!

arcwelder

I'm happy to add you to my growing list of creators I support on Patreon. For "something special", I'd like to understand how you make your videos. You list your computer specs in your YouTube description, but what other tools do you use? Maybe a "behind the scenes" video?

Tam Barlas

I would submit the idea, to allow us to serve you in the Gnome battalion in Armored warfare. Or as Jakub Buriánke said, play with community. But maybe have a Patreon only password, so you once in a while can have a patreon only game?

Kris Kristiansen

Wohoo! Finally!

Random Guy

What about playing with/against comunity? WoT/WoWS/any interesting/fun coop/versus games? Maybe when you are streaming? Doesn't have to be anything regular

Buri

I must say working in the salt mines for two years has been amazing and I can’t wait to see what the future holds for you jingles. You are amazing keep it up!!!!

Robert Stachowiak

My privilege to sign on. I've spent money in a lot worse ways than this!

Terrence Hickman

After I met you in Arsenal in Sweden roughly a yeah ago I started to wonder how to support you more. Now I have the way. :) ps. I was one of the Finn's that gave you the T-shirt with your "mug shot" ;)

Teemu Lokka

How about a download link for the old Why you heff to be mad videos that you deleted when reaching 500k? That would cheer a lot of us up :-)

PinkFluffyTeddyBear

Perhaps a Jingles discord or TeamSpeak channel? Not that it'd be patron only of course but give us loyal salt miners a little rank or privilege.
