Season2 Closing Soon! 😱 Better get ready.
Grab your quest or role & avoid the Necromancers 🙃
Dear readers, Season 2 is soon coming to an end! 😱
With 18 days to go, its time to dig through what’s left undone & metaphorically see which loose ends could we tie up!
We’ve held a Roadmap discussion session this Wednesday & divided up some quests among the attendees.
As for the rest of you, let’s get into what needs to be done!
⚔️ Quests & Roles ⚔️
Here’s some of the highly burning quests & sought after roles 👇
🔨 Bring a Builder
MetaGame needs moar builders! Help us find some by reading through the role description. Bonus points if they’re from the old world of Web2, many more bonus points if the end up actually building something in MetaGame 😉.
🤑 Onboard a Patron
MetaGame still hasn’t reached the Patrons cap 😱! Know a bunch of people that might be interested in supporting MetaGame & buying some of our magic internet money? Get them started on the Patron’s Path & report in didathing.
📚 Write a Playbook
Playbooks are short guides on how to get active into the DAO or the wider Ethereum space, written by people of different roles & skill sets.
You can find more info & examples in here
🏠 Build The House of Wellbeing
Houses give the meta view of different areas of interest, you can read more about how to build one here. All of the critical crypto ones are already being written, so now its on someone to write one about wellbeing. How to be well, not get burned out, not fall into nihilism & all of that good stuff. All about taking care of the mind & body.
🎨 Design a Mew Section
1/2 most important missing pieces of MyMeta profiles are the ability for people to embed custom things new blocks. It can start with a thing as simple as a new link embed or something like “past experiences” on LinkedIn. Comment in here if you’re interested in designing a bit of UI.
🎨 Manifest the Manifesto
The MetaManifesto will become a collectible 😱! We need some artists to design MetaManifesto NFTs of different ranks: Common, Rare, Epic & Legendary. They will be displayed at the bottom of the MetaManifesto, allowing people who feel aligned with it to own a piece of history & hold as bragging rights.
🎨 Conceptualize
We need some concept art for MetaGame. So far we mainly got some octo character art but now we’ll need some environment art. In preparation for the long-away raid of building MetaVille, we need some MetaVille architecture concept art to prepare hand off to 3D artists. Read more about MetaGame’ art style here.
📽️ Explainer Video
It’s about time MetaGame has it’s explainer video, no? Interested in helping with it? Ask about it in 📽-video-content 🙃
🛠️ Show me your roles
Well… To allow others to show roles, first we need to add the selection screen to the profile creation flow 🙃. 1/2 final missing pieces allowing us to call finally call MyMeta profiles feature-complete - critically important.
🛠️ Custom background
Here’s a fun thing missing from MyMeta: custom backgrounds. Not mission critical but something to do before we get deep into setting quests & priorities for the rest of the MetaOS. Interested in working on something more important than this fun little feature? Let us know in this MetaOS roadmap WIP issue.
⚠️⚠️⚠️🛠️ Most Builder Quests ⚠️⚠️⚠️
⚠️⚠️⚠️ All Other Quests ⚠️⚠️⚠️
NOTE: Ask anything about any of these quests, raids or roles by commenting directly on their Notion posts, Github issues or in the quest-ask or skill-specific-guild channels.
🤔 Highly Demanded Roles
🛠️ Builder
We got a bunch of new builders but the list of issues is long 🙃. No fancy Solidity developers, we only need some good old web2 developers. Those of ReactJS, 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.
Looking to join MetaGame? Now is a good time! Already a player, looking to avoid the purge? Get going!
🕵️♂️ 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 😇
🖋️ Writer
With the Writers Guild under construction, there is a demand coming for writers. There will be help needed in anything from Playbooks & Great Houses, to the Newsletter, The Lore & the Shillers Guild. Interested in writing for or about MetaGame? Report in the #writers-guild
📣 Shiller
Likewise, shillers guild is only about to get going. The next few months will still mostly be focused on building, but the Shillers Guild will slowly start ramping up its membership & efforts to prepare for Summoning The Great Flood.
🧠 Knowledge Worker
One of the last missing Champions for the Champions Ring - The role of a Knowledge Worker in MetaGame is to spend time in the elevate category of discord, holding pulse on channels like the brain-exchange, tutorials & skill-bot; engaging, keeping track of things people are interested in & getting them to write Playbooks or coordinating with the Meetup Master to set up workshops or talks.
⚠️⚠️⚠️ All Roles ⚠️⚠️⚠️
MetaGame Meta 👀
Writers Align for the first time, thanks to Gnomeski. About 8 curious writers attended & shared enthusiasm around writing MetaGame’s mythology, eventually releasing a graphic novel - but also expressed interest in helping with Playbooks & note-taking
Bagholder McFomo & FearlessThompson along with Misanth, Tommy & a bunch of others ran the first meme-a-thon 😱. Themes were spewed & memes were crafted! It was loads of fun & for multiple people it was their first time making memes. You missed out on some great laughs & some NFTs 🙃
The Metarrhizal Network is pretty much wrapped up thanks to countless hours spent by FearlessThompson, Misanth, Bagsy, penguin & others down in the dungeon. Now its back to Better Onboarding through videomaking.
MetaRadio team pushes out another episode, this one with Santi Siri of Democracy.earth, Proof of Humanity & others - one of the pioneers of digital democracy talking about democracy, unique identity & DAOs.
In the Builders Guild, Gelee will be going on parental leave so we made sure to load him with an extra bag of Seeds & he made sure we still have someone in charge of running sprints - Michiel! 🙏 Alec drafts a workflow explainer for newcomers, Blake implements the first MetaMenu prototype & Saimano adds the analytics to MyMeta, waiting for a PR review.
Dave of Designers Guild continues refining the player list filtering UI & the design system, collaborating with dan13 to codify designs. Also put out a quest on designing icons for the MetaMenu
Onboarders continue onboarding people without showing any sign of slowing down. Misanth runs yet another great onboarding session in the secred #engaged-octos channels - available only to Onboarders & Engaged Octos being tested before joining.
In the Headhunters Guild, Kyle continues listing & infiltrating hackahon & peth continues foraging through the role applications received through AngelList.
Fulfilling their Bridgebuilder duties, penguin holds a short MetaGame presentation over at the Token Engineering Commons & peth kicks off the process of onboarding MetaCartel Ventures as a guild & finishes negotiations for the accommodation for MetaGame’s physical hackalong about to go down this summer in Italy 😱
Necromancers are about to wake up from their slumber (as if their crest carriers haven’t been wearing other hats meanwhile) - Season2 is coming to an end & its time to start culling the membership list, getting rid of dead weight & making space for new aspiring octos to make a name for themselves in Season3. As always, you can avoid getting purged either by becoming active or taking the Patron’s path.
On the Seed front, MetaDreamer pushes out the first calculation for the past month’s Seed distribution. Go check it out, tell us what you don’t like in the 🤑-seed-minting channel & give it a few more days before you can claim your pay 🙃
Seriously though - do check it out. Main initiatives sticking out: Gitcoin, MetaCartel & DoinGudFund - all about paying out debts from the past. Even DoinGudFund? Yeah, that one is for offsetting our carbon footprint & donating to a few good causes - something we said we’ll do a long time ago.
Anyhow - if you think there are any good deeds either completely missing from the Seed minting sheet or that just haven’t been rewarded fairly - PLEASE do say so in 🤑-seed-minting ASAP.
Onwards! 🐙
