Phase 1: Gather first submissions (~40 stories) - 4/20 to 5/24
DivineDAO - DAO voted for 20ETH but may not follow through on transaction, tbd
LootDAO direct proposal for 30ETH worth $35k — need to do still
- Holding off on this until we feel like we need it to get over the finish line
- 5ETH split between writers ($6k / 31 writers = $200) — this was worth about $17k when we made this decision, before the crash :(
- 2 Loot bags to two select writers
- Ticklish (has 3 of the top 10)
- D_D from the Lorecrafters guild
- Some NFTs to the curators council (1 HL, 1 Banner, 1 GM)
- LootHero to make a list of them and their wallets
1. This is happening, get excited! 2. Come submit more stories, round 2 is open 3. Come be on the curators council to help give feedback to writers/etc
- Encourage/invite writers to submit second drafts of their stories
‣
Phase 2: Get more submissions and v2 drafts from phase 1 (now we’ll have ~70 stories) - 5/25 to 7/13
- 5ETH
- A package of NFTs
- Some early ones were captured here (not sent yet)
- Use curators council to do reward allocations, not just an even split this time
- Include all stories from round 1 too for consideration
Finalize Curators Council scoring (scores here) Â
- Can do it by submission — straight line average based on scores
- But needs a cap per writer — 10% of rewards (so 0.5ETH)
Scores final by 8/5
Send rewards! — 8/10
On 8/10 — Communicate the current status of which stories will be in the book + give an opportunity to let people iterate on their stories that haven’t crossed the threshold yet
- Communicate this alongside the phase 2 rewards announcement and status update
- Parameters (size of book + also the rubric and goals)
- “We’re going to use the curator’s council to help finalize this, etc”
- Provide some kind of leaderboard/status, maybe just split as two groups (confirmed in // still needs work)
- For any stories that are redrafted and added late, we will just have the Curator’s Council review them ad hoc
Story | Author | Status | Comment from the Curators Council |
“Title” | Ticklish | In! | n/a |
Still TBD | “Feels like it is not related to the Genesis Era, but a great story” | ||
Still TBD | “Can this tie to the Lootverse more?” |
