S3W11 Champions Ring 30 August 2021
Attendees: defileZebra, Michiel, Misanth, penguin, chair, Rankko, AnnaKaic, Bacon, Bagholder Mcfomo III, Tommy
Summary:
- We need to get Penguin reimbursed for sponsorship cost paid on Metagame’s behalf for Mcon
- We welcome a few new Octos to the Champions Guild, AnnaKaic and Rankko.eth!
- Remaining open question: what about that Balancer migration proposal?
Agenda:
- Ideally, this agenda would be built on the “help needed” portion of the Guild-n-raid updates channel.
Discussion:
- Penguin would like to be on record as not being a fan of this time
- Penguin to get on the bill for Mcon Penguin put out the $5k
- Multi-sig is 3 of 6
- Metadreamer objected to doing 3 of 7 signers due to concerns over security (being less than 50%?) so we remain at 3 of 6.
- In lieu of items noted as needing help from guild and raid reports, we will go round table to each champion starting from the top
- Chair
- Still needs some help working out how to distribute cred equitably amongst writers of future playbooks
- Held meeting thurs and last sat, at this point it looks something like:
- Focus on getting writers up to speed with using github
- onboarding a single non-technical player is estimated to take at least an hour
- PRs will then be picked by playbook builder for a single batch commit per week
- Dev submits the PR and writers get cred within the PR by being tagged
- What this still doesn’t account for is 1 page versus 5-10 page playbook
- Michiel shared that Luxumbra had reached out reference to this-
- Michiel believes that the easiest way is let writers make the playbook in markdown and builder can submit the PR
- However, XP would be divided equally (50% per player for 2, 33% per player for 3, etc.)
- Similar challenge to development PRs in that not all efforts within the PR may be equal
- For example, if someone did 80% of lifting but tags a single contributor, they would then split all XP rewarded in half
- What about just putting playbooks into did-a-thing?
- Chair likes that suggestion
- Can easily export into markdown, so don’t even need actually know how to use markdown
- Welcome 2 new champions that jumped in just after started: AnnaKaic and Rankko.eth
- Michiel
- Supporting new builders with Builder’s guild meeting 30 minutes earlier
- This was mentioned in the newsletter: will start a half hour earlier for new builders.
- Then at normal starting time will plan to go over issues
- Will aim to give new builders give them small easy tasks to work on.
- Maybe split some bigger items up amongst multiple people
- Penguin
- After mint, a few players had json issues. Spent some time troubleshooting and confirms that cache had been cleared and tests failed on multiple browsers within the same machine.
- Limited number of complaints but will circle back this week
- Michiel suggests that we take a look at the latest commit of erc20 redeemable and see if there are any sus changes outlined there
- Minting numbers were different than what Metadreamer was expecting.
- Numbers were a little off, like 1-2%
- Michiel wants to re-run the whole process and review it
- Old calcs thrown out and MetaDreamer’s numbers matched the seed totals, and were used for the mint
- MCon sponsorship in 2 weeks with MetaCartel in Denver.
- Will be working the event for Divine Pixel Society (spelling?).
- Personally paid for MetaGame sponsorship out of pocket after vote passed because of time constraint.
- Transaction was done within a loan via CREAM so currently paying APR on the loaned funds
- Getting reimbursed- Since Eth is in the Aragon DAO will likely cost $200 to reimburse from there
- Other option suggested was that Peth has some Metagame eth in his wallet.
- Maybe he can it from that part for less gas expense?
- Penguin will reach out to Peth
- XP fairy meeting last week and will have another tomorrow at Midnight, PST
- Anyone can join the XP fairy meeting.
- Critical note on funds put into claim contract accidentally:
- If enacting a vote for minting, seeds must go to the multi-sig.
- Seed should not be sent to claim contract directly
- Misanth
- The biggest problem as Misanth sees it today is defining what kind of people we ant as players versus patrons.
- Similar to personas like FearlessThompson was working on
- Need to clarify exactly what kind of people we want here, otherwise its mixed signals
- Not like skillset but in terms of motivations.
- What kind of players or patrons do we want?
- Once defined we can more effectively incent
- Rankko- Need to keep a balance
- Wants to propose mandatory introduction for curios octos. Would like to put them on the spot and have folks explain how they found metagame.
- Penguin- to be engaging as an engaged octo, one can’t just be consuming but actively contributing
- Michiel- can we make an introduction template?
- Internal guildkeepers should meet up prior to mint to review engagement
- Penguin- doing something is our measure.
- Should be able to demonstrate something in their field.
- Rankko
- Will be an Innkeeper deputy and Tommy will be champion
- Need to sort out incentives for innkeeping
- Hard to track effort and measure results
- Will be discussed in detail on Wednesday Innkeepers align 330p UTC.
- Decide some amount of XP and active innkeepers make a list
- DefileZebra: sounds like this might be a good example where an initiative is needed to award XP
- Misanth: new UI for initiatives is coming, but would initiatives be a good place to recognize the effort
- At the beginning or end of the meeting go round robin and give props similar to a few other DAOs?
- Michiel shared that they are not a big fan of props
- Penguin- We should be trying to show how the system works rather than creating a separate work flow
- Rankko would like to propose a new role for use within the innkeeper’s guild: “librarian”
- Under that role you will understand metagame and wiki and be able to guide people on contributing content.
- Make this one step before innkeeper
- Re-approach each guild as every guild has an innkeeper.
- Should be aligned so can communicate in a more detailed fashion
- have a follow-up and clear path
- Innkeepers now need to know how that octo is progressing and be able to follow-up on activity
- Anna- Likes the idea of doing a follow-up to get feedback to see understand and continue improving onboarding efforts
- Presentation for new octos from Misanth
- Misanth shared that there is a structure, just no presentation
- DAOist preso might be usable for onboarding?
- Anna will send to Misanth
- Bacon
- Been engaged on other things recently but planning to double down
- Wanted to check in on where we are with balancer pool migration but without Peth or MetaDreamer present it seems like we don’t have the right audience.
- Anyone have any updates to share on this item?
