    The question, "What's the timeframe to get the investor rewards?" was asked on the recent R44 Postmortem livestream. Several community members have asked similar questions here in the forums since then.

    @DarkStarr's answer:

    "I believe you are talking about the SeedInvest rewards? The first round of items are already built and awaiting delivery. We hope to have the second round built next release (R46). However we cannot deliver them until we have secured the funds from SeedInvest and gotten everyone's account information from SeedInvest and then followed up to find out which Shroud account they want their rewards delivered to (all of which will of course take time). We estimate at least 2-3 months to complete all of this." - @DarkStarr
    We will update everyone as progress is made on the above!

    Please add information about Consolidation of Investments into a larger investment. E.g., if I made a $1000 investment, then later a $4000 investment. I may want to get the $5000 investment package Perks, not two lower level Perks ($1000 and $2500 perk levels).

    I'm invested at $1500.00, so I'd like to make sure I get double the $500 level and single the $1000 lvl...
    I hope that's not a problem and all on the single account if that's possible.

    Not according to the FAQ:

    Which is the opposite of what I recall RG saying during the campaign, though I don't have a reference to hand.

    It's my understanding that single investments provide each perk level exactly once. That my interpretation of the SeedInvest Investor Perks text. Anything else wouldn't make any sense anyway, since at $2000 and above it gets ambiguous as you can split the investments in multiple ways. For example 2x $1000 or 1x $1000 and 3x $500. That only gets worse at higher levels. Also, frankly, I wouldn't be ok with any extra perks packages handed out as gestures of goodwill, since it lowers the value of the digital items for me and everyone else. The digitial items did play a role in my investment decision and it might have been different - possibly higher or zero - if the items valued differently. I am pretty sure I am not alone in that regard.

    Therin lies the problem with multiple investments...it would seem to me like if somebody made 5x $500 they should be able to either combine that for the 2500 lvl or take 5 x 500... but that's just me. I just picked a lvl and stuck with it

    Edit. ofc if one was splitting awards in any way, they'd have to be on dif accounts no?

    I did multiple investments with one E-Mail account and got for each investments it's corresponding Perk in the same account i gave the link to connect with.

    e.g. 3x 500$ => 3 Perk Tier1 Packs

    as long as you don't consolidate them inot higher perk lvls you are stuck with the Tier you invested in

    Well...

    If my investment in Portalarium's "stock", needed to be made in separate investments (which no stock I know of does), this was not what was indicated by the SeedInvest broker, "AnMaree Williams".

    "Sad Me Hu?" @Berek
    I guess Portalarium should enjoy my extra $500.00
    I also guess this falls under the sad or angry face "rate your conversation" within this copy of their e-mail advice to me below.
    :oops:~Time Lord~:(


    Help AnMaree understand how they’re doing:

    Hi Michael,

    The best way to increase your investment is amount is by canceling your first investment and making a new one with the correct amount. You can cancel that investment on your portfolio at: https://seedinvest.com/portfolio

    Please let me know if you have trouble or need any further guidance.

    All the best,
    AnMaree

    It is almost like 2 different questions. It was not necessary to make an investment in multiple amounts. You could make multiple investments if you wanted to do so and then when it was time to receive your share certificates you could combine them into 1 larger investment and only 1 certificate. Or you could receive certificates for each of the multiple smaller investments. Each level of investment had rewards at the level. If you made a $500. investment it had a reward. If you then made another $500 investment whether on that same email or another email it carried that level reward. Unless you combined them in the manner that was described you would receive the level rewards according to the level you invested. If you invested at the next level that increased the rewards you would receive that level of rewards. You have made 2 investments. Each receiving rewards such as a$500. one which will receive rewards. The 2nd investment was made at the next level of $1000. you are then entitled to the rewards for that $1000. level. If you do not combine them to make them into a $1500 investment then you will receive the rewards for the $500. investment and you will receive the rewards for your $1000. investment. Each investment remains undivided which is not allowed. If you COMBINE the 2 investments into 1 $1500. and since that combination does not reach the next level for rewards you will receive the rewards for the $1000. investment only. If you do not combine the 2 investments into $1500 and since there are rewards for the $500 investment and then there are rewards for the $1000. investment then you receive the rewards for each investment the $500 one and then the $1000 one.

    It is up to you to decide if you want to combine the investments or not. It is your choice you just can not divide each investment.

    I did not combine my investments because I chose to receive the rewards for each level and so the rewards on my account shows that as well.

    FWIW:

    I made an investment in the first hour of the offer.

    When the levels were changed I wanted to up my investment and was told just make another investment.
    Seedinvest never did combine them into one so I contacted Richard.
    Here is his reply.

    Inquiry of the buyer to the seller prior to purchase, response of the seller with instructions to the buyer followed to the letter and the intent of both parties...
    Portalarium will do the right thing "given the time", they always have in the past.

    That had to be the most absurd thing I have ever heard of. I can't, in my wildest imagination imagine a compliance dept. (aka the legal eagles that keep their hiney's out of hot water) would put their stamp of approval on that. So glad to hear things resolved.

    I would also have been extremely surprised if Port had not made "the right thing" take place. I have always found the CS at Port to be top drawer.

    I would ofc also commend Time Lord for near saintly patience.

    Now let's get this game finished!
