Open Roles & Raids and A Vague Roadmap
As promised, here’s a more informative post!
Season 2 is well underway & its time we give you more insight into what exactly is going on, what is still needed etc.
Live Raid Cycles 😱
Better Onboarding
The better onboarding raid continues with good progress. There are now new onboarding roles, head innkeepers & evergreen quests for most internal guilds, cohorts kickstarted, some one-pagers & idk, probably forgetting something. 🤷♂️
But yeah, we got a bunch of shit done then had another session to talk through the rest, to write out & assign more quests to more people. 🙃
Main conclusion: Better Onboarding sessions will now be recurring every Wednesday at 8am PST / noon EST / 5pm CET / 8:30pm IST until the dungeon has been cleared & all the bosses killed.
Designing MetaGame
The Designers of MetaGame had their first weekly guild call this week as well. We talked about the mess of links that is MetaGame, how to structure it & whatnot.
Coming up next: Night is working out the sitemap while Davor is looking for a card sorting tool. Next week, we’ll be doing a card sorting exercise before continuing with the community survey. There is also an open quest for designing the sidebar 👀
Designers Align sessions will now be recurring every Tuesday at 10am PST / 2pm EST / 7pm CET / 10:30pm IST
Building MetaGame
The Builders of MetaGame had their second call this Wednesday. We continued by discussing the roadmap, the sprints & assigning more quests, like the testing environment, clearing out the issues & PRs etc.
Next week, we’ll clean the rest of the repo, set the goals & prepare to onboard more builders. The Builders Align will now be happening every Wednesday at 7am PST / 11am EST / 4pm CET / 7:30pm IST
Open Roles
There are a bunch of open roles here at MetaGame, for all roles you can go here.
But below are three that are currently in highest demand. As such, expect them to be rewarded accordingly 🙃
🍻 Innkeeper
Innkeepers are the lifeblood of MetaGame. People think innkeepers are just about welcoming new players & helping them get going, but the role of an innkeeper actually branches off into a bunch of specializations.
Ask about it in the #innkeepers-guild & get started.
🛠️ Builder
The most important role currently, one which all headhunters should be all over. Like all projects in the bull market, we’re lacking builders.
Good thing is that we don’t need Solidity developers, we need good old web2 developers. Those of React Native, TypeScript kind & those familiar with Hasura & Graph.
Check the role description here, get going on the builders path here or ask about it in the #builders-guild.
🤑 Patron
Patrons are the players that are contributing to MetaGame by buying & planting Seeds. You can read more about how it works here. We won’t be making a big push for patrons for at least another week, but do know that the planting season is soon & it might be worth it being among the earliest 🙃
🕵️♂️ Headhunter
Headhunter is a player who knows a lot of people or where to find them. His role is to get the other roles filled. Currently, the highest priority for headhunters are the builders, though finding more innkeepers & patrons definitely won’t hurt 😇
🗺️ A Vague Roadmap
Here’s a vague roadmap of what we’re up to for the rest of the season. Don’t worry, we’ll come up with specific numbers & deliverables, this is just to give you a feel of what we’re about & an idea of how to contribute.
Community Roadmap
Overhaul the onboarding system through the Better Onboarding raid then onboard more players.
Onboard more guilds
More talks, workshops & social events
How many more/how often?
Content Roadmap
Push out the long overdue House of dApps & House of Defiance. The links have been compiled, just need someone to write a short intro & we’re good to go!
A bunch more playbooks explaining to people of all backgrounds how to get involved in the Ethereum space
A bunch more podcast episodes
A few more guilding guides helping people launch their own DAOs
An explainer video for MetaGame 🙃
Technical Roadmap
Finish the guild onboarding system - nearly there thanks to Alec
“Finish” MyMeta - add a few more functions like the role select, custom sections, custom backgrounds & contracting.
Improve the Questing system - the quests are finally being moved out of Notion & onto a proper questing interface. Next up, things like onboarding quests, quest importance signaling & whatnot.
Build the raiding system so we can move the navigation board out of Miro & the raid boards out of Notion & into our interface - dysbulic on it
Start building the MetaOS - well, all of technical roadmap is building the MetaOS but what I mean here is simply bringing everything under this single interface. The newsletter, the wiki, the podcasts, the events, the landing page - everything!
Interested in one of the raids or roles but not a player yet?
Access them by becoming a patron
Or send us an email over at sage@metagame.wtf & join the queue 🙃
Meta 🤔
There’s no denying MetaGame is accelerating, but so is the passage of time. 👀 MetaFest did wonders in terms of boosting community cohesion, morale & momentum.
We used this to kick off new raids & set up more structure - like the Better Onboarding raid and the Designers & Builders Align meetings.
That is all great but we’re also already almost halfway through Season 2. Time flies!
If we want to get into Phase II on time (by the end of 2021), we’re gonna have to not only keep this momentum but further increase it 😱
How?
Help us find more builders, god damn it! Here’s the kind of builders we need, no fancy Web3 stuff needed yet. 😇
