@Lanzer First of all thanks for taking the time of the interview with the guy from Hermit Crab Studio. I have to admit that at first that I was supportive and still am supportive of any SIPs that can help the TSB to expand its reach.
During the beginning of the podcast listenning to your exchanges, I was realizing how messy was the process of this SIPs creation. What sounds weared in a sense is that the SIPs process is quite a lengthy and thorough and that this SIP was initiated by someone from the TSB who is supposed to be aware of the process…
Nevertheless the guy was nice and the remaining was valuable to understand the expert view on part of this industry.
But after that and reading some answers to you sometime annoying but legit questions I have a bad taste in my mouth telling me that this SIP is too opportunistic. In a sense it was summarized well by your guest when he said “Whether we get the SIPs endorsed or not anyway this is going to happen”.
Based on this I will change my voting to a no.
Hello @KCL ! Thank you so much for your feedback! This is Chips speaking on behalf of Hermit Crab, as mentioned during the podcast interview. Over the past few years, we’ve organized several events. In 2024, we want to focus on bringing attention to TSB and the DAO within the LatAm community, a region yet to be fully explored. However, this effort depends heavily on the support of our established community. If we don’t have that support, it doesn’t mean we’ll be showcasing TSB and the DAO at the event. In fact, it’s quite the opposite. Without your backing, we’ll shift our focus and bring something else to the event. I genuinely believe this would be a missed opportunity, given the potential we have.
Regarding what @Lanzer said, I realize now that I misunderstood how it came across. What was intended was that we’ll be organizing events no matter what, not that we’ll be promoting the DAO no matter what. That said, I truly believe this is a great opportunity for the community.
As you might have noticed during the interview, I’ve been taking notes on all the valuable insights @Lanzer provided. I would really appreciate it if you could share more in-depth thoughts on your perspective and how you see the DAO being properly represented at the Brazil Game Show, since, at some point, you were up for that, let’s make what you saw in the first place a reality.
Hey Chips, I value your input and I also give you the credit of being the only one that accepted @Lanzer invitation. Overall, at the end of this podcast I had a very good perception of what Hermit Crab Studio is trying to achieve but the overall preparation, presentation of this SIPs as an agglomerate events is unfortunate. I am not necessarely of the same opinion that Lanzer that the DAO should be advertised as a different entity of the TSB (anyway majority of gamer is not interested: disclaimer maybe a biased opinion from my side), and it is fine having different opinion, but the importance is transparency and clarity.
WEB3 is a mix of entrepeneur/creators, gamers, pure investors, art… and for SIPs coming out of TSB Region operations managers I would have expected higher quality and higher motivation to convice high voting power parties from creator of SIP: eg Lanzer needed to explain you who you need to contact to get the quorum on the SIP is a bit embarassing. I would have expected that a Global a operations manager of the TSB creating the SIPs is doing a bit of stakeholder management to secure quorum and be transparent about that.
Looking forward I am happy to support any SIPs for promotion events of studios publishing in TSB or any TSB event as long as we have transparency and clarity. (eg: the comments that I made for the Episode 2 of Deep Sea game from Yobike is an example of that)
Thanks! What he said after that was important too.
He said they’re going one way or another, but if they get funding they’ll make their booth about the Sandbox Game and Sandbox DAO, and if they don’t get funded, then they’ll focus on the rest of their portfolio (Roblox, mobile games)
This point somehow just contradicting what @dawhat said at point 1 that TSB and partners are not making distinction between DAO and TSB.
It appears as though it isn’t consistent across all SIP participants. Whereas Hermit Crab does make that distinction and would if this SIP were funded, I suppose dawhat’s team wouldn’t.
Hi KCL, Lanzer is correct in a sense that when it comes to TSB direct managed projects, we work as I indicated. However if an event is led by partners like Hermit Studios or Smobler, they are the main organiser and will definitely still have a TSB presence but the degree or depth of it may vary depending on whether the SIP is successful
I do apologise if this SIP might be slightly confusing, the team was wondering if it was better to combine a number of events under 1 SIP rather than have individual SIPs to make it easier for the community to vote on. Regardless of which way this SIP goes, we have definitely learned from this experience and will strive to improve on this if we ever were to submit event SIPs in future
@dawhat & @MonkeyDLuffy , I’m fine with multiple SIP authors. Perhaps there needs to be more coordination in the future to ensure that you can facilitate discussion as a group, but this worked out just fine in my opinion.
