Priority Raids & Open Roles
Season end coming, purge soon - WE NEED MOAR PLAYERS
Seeing we only got 4 weeks left in Season3 & just over a month until MetaGame’s birthday, I figured it’d be good to dedicate a newsletter to what needs doing!
There is also a purge coming up for Engaged Octos, so now might be a perfect time to actually get more involved 🙃
Are you a player or an NPC?
So let’s get it on!
🚨 Priority Raids 🚨
👽 MyMeta
MyMeta Profiles remain of highest priority.
Although progressing at a higher pace lately, MyMeta is still missing a few core features & some polish before being ready.
Ready for what? Ready for us to start shilling it to other DAOs & dApps to use for their own member or user directories. Go through here if you want to help.
📚 Playbooks
Second most important, we got Playbooks.
As explained in the previous newsletter, Playbooks are short guides & tutorials for helping people get involved in the space.
We need a shitton more than we currently have. Besides writing one yourself, you could help by getting authors of existing guides to submit them to our wiki & earn some Seeds for it. Not sure how? Ask about it.
🕵️♂️ Headhunting
Given we need more builders for MyMeta & the MetaOS, there is a raid being prepared by the Headhunters Guild.
We’ll be headhunting at the next & biggest ETHGlobal hackathon.
Want to help? Sign up here then report for duty here.
🤨 Other Raids
After fully wrapping up MyMeta, we’ll be able to dedicate more time to the slower moving raids such as the Quests UI & the rest of the MetaOS - for which we’ll likely be coordinating with the wider ecosystem.
Other than that, we could use some Python help with the Bot Army as well as some more writing or art-making help for MetaGame’s Lore & MetaMerch.
Finally, another Purge coming up 😱
🚨 Most Needed Roles 🚨
🛠️ Builder
As always, we need more builders!
We’ve been getting more lately both from our headhunting efforts as well as the collaboration with Raid Guild - but there’s still a big need for more.
Mainly the ones that have experience TypeScript, React & Next.js;
full description here.
🕵️♂️ Headhunter
Looking for more builders, we’ve also been ramping up our headhunting efforts.
As mentioned already, we’ll be at ETHGlobal, you can sign up here then report for duty here.
There are also other ways to hunt for more sought-after roles independently; from crashing into random MMO-RPG or TypeScript forums to simply inviting a friend.
🎥 Anchorman
There is still a need for someone that isn’t camera-shy to become the anchorman & report news from MetaGame in a video format.
It mainly means reading + commentary of the newsletter but you can read more here.
🤑 Patron
We haven’t actively started our fundraising campaign yet but it would be great to have more people jump on as patrons & support MetaGame by buying Seeds.
Maybe you?
Already a patron? Maybe pick up a few more Seeds? 🙃
📣 Shiller
We got FearlessThompson stepping up to Shillers Guild Champion & we got Anna stepping up as the newest active shiller - but we need to properly push this forward.
Over the next month or two, our goal will be to shill all of our content & raise awareness of MetaGame to prepare for the fundraising campaign.
Ask for more in the Shillers Guild or join the next Content & Shilling Strategy call.
🙌 Meetup Master
It’s not like they aren’t happening - we had some pretty cool AMAs with projects & some good Community Gatherings - but it would be great to have someone fully in charge of making sure they happen on a regular basis.
That someone would be thinking & coordinating with others about what guests or topics of discussion we want for Community Gatherings & what other AMAs, workshops or fun days we want to make happen.
Read more about it here.
🧚 XP Fairy
XP Fairies are here to make sure people are rewarded fairly. Penguin is the Fairies Guild champion but seems to be a one-man-army.
If helping people feel appreciated & rewarded is something you’d like to do,
read more about it here.
😇 Doing Good Champion
At MetaGame, we believe we need to make the world a better place not just by building tech that people need but also directly helping good causes.
We need someone to keep reminding us of this & keeping an eye out on good philantropical or ecological initiatives we could support.
There isn’t a special place for such people yet, so just ask about it here.
👷 ValueFeed Champion
This raid has been on hold for a while but it would be great to get it going.
Its about decreasing the noise in MetaGame by creating a feed of XP-generating events, surfaced from sourcecred. Read more about it here.
🎨 Artists
There has recently been more interest in creating a Graphic Novel based on the MetaGenesis Odyssey. Loose outline idea is to create it in chunks, sold as NFTs to fund the DAO. Other than that, we got need for Guild Crests & a whole bunch of other art to be created.
Any artists interested, please contact Nightveil, Musashi13 or Gnomeski, or generally get in touch in the Artists Guild in Discord.

🕵️♂️ Headhunting + 📣 Shilling
Headhunting continues to be a priority and has gone a lil quiet of late but, focus is now turning to how we can best bring those heads from ETHOnline Hackathon as of Sept 17 - Oct 15 and MCON on Sept 15-17, so both are not far off.
chair has stepped up to take on more of a lead role. 💪 Learning from past inefficiencies moving forward the strategies are developing nicely in readiness for spreading out our tentacles once more. 🐙
More Typescript focused shilling waves, inspired by Rankko’s Reddit storm are planned for more platforms.
🧑🏽🎓 Cohorts
Lead by Misanth this week was assisted by inputs from Vanilladelphia, Michiel and luxumbra. The session went smoothly and new Octos were mostly of a buildery type and showing good signs with some creative vibes. MintGate has been further discussed with builders and seems easy to implement. 🦿
🧚♂️ XP Fairies
SEED Mint has been waiting to deploy and is happening this week. The lack of access to Fleek for more core DAO team members is being changed for the future, as part of the streamlining process and reducing bottle necking. Fortunately penguin is back from what we hope was a great break and while ever-busy, is making this high priority. 🌱
🎙️ MetaRadio
Whatcha’ Makin’ with Chair and Bacon debuted. Check it out!
A super friendly pair turned their first spotlight onto penguin, who jammed on the NTFA (Never Touch Fiat Again) project. Super interesting project that works with Mattereum to create evolving and Gold owning NFTs that even come with cool wearables from Metafactory. Almost all of the work on NTFA has been done by MetaGamers such as luxumbra, Misanth, Lahcen-KH, MLIBTY and The Lone Ronin.
Join the NTFA Discord
Be the coolest peeps around and help evolve unbanking by shilling this exciting project to ya friends, fam, etc.
🛠️ Buidlers
Saimano has installed Clarity analytics to MyMeta so we can track various parameters like traffic and functionality. 📈
Alec has finalised the Guild Onboarding PR that enables guild onboarding & guild profiles to be filled automatically along with some cool data displayed. This function draws on Discord server data, assigns statuses based on roles assigned etc. Some more work on the UI for this process is also inbound. 🏘️
More info about requirements and benefits for prospective guilds has been outlined in Notion by peth in Guild Onboarding Why and How.
Dysbulic has been pretty busy with HackFS, doing some more open coding on discord but has also been working on various issues. He has created an Epic Issue for IDX integration, with numerous sub issues, which he will be focusing on in the upcoming month. If you'd like to contribute on these issues please consult him. 🤝🏽
Blake submitted his MetaMenu PR up for approval, bringing us much closer to the next version of the platform - the elusive MetaOS.
Michiel has been multi tasking between reviews and onboarding.
Raid Guild just kicked off season 2 and peth took some tasks to the Raid Guild cohort meet. Raid Guild & MetaGame member jonathanp will be guiding Raid Guild members who are interested in MetaGame into the rabbit hole. These people are already coming in! ☄️⚔️ ☄️
Two more web2 devs have begun their descent down the web3 rabbit hole with MetaGame. 🥂
Huxwell is taking on some IDX and Ceramic issues as they have worked on IDX before and is keen to team up for future hackathons as well as the possibility of combining his Discovery project with Playbooks. natehubbit, a front end dev who feels comfy with the tech stack and is currently building familiarity with DAOSpace in general, as well as the specs for MetaGame builders at the mo.
Lead designer Dave is back from holiday and already sat back in the driving seat, welcome back! 👋
📚 Playbooks
These have stalled a bit of late but are coming back into sharp focus with player of MetaGame coordinating around writing & getting others from outside to submit Playbooks as well as involving RaidGuild in the creation of the Playbooks UI & exploration of the possible collaboration with Discovery. ⚔️
