Defined "A Massive Online Coordination Game", or more simply "a sweet spot between a social network, a freelancing platform & a role playing game", MetaGame is more than it's definition. MetaGame is the idea we can build a new world atop of the old one, a more collaborative, transparent & fun world, a world in which self interest of all players is better aligned with the common good. A world unrestricted by physical boundaries.
Note: Every element of MetaGame, including this wiki, is a debatable and an ever-evolving community effort. Get involved.
Now that you're familiar with the overarching Quest of the MetaGame, let's narrow it down to current goals and the way they broaden into the bigger picture goal.
The goal of 1.0 is to build a home for all your web3 understanding and project building needs. Some of the things it should contain include: Dapp building resources, idea validating groups, people willing to jump in and help build it or sell it and connections or at least links to potential investors. A place where freelancers may come, offer their services to growing projects & earn equity. Described in more detail in the blog post dedicated to the narrative, A Decentralized Factory.
At this stage, the game would be a 2D world one could go around, meeting people and taking quests.
Here's some early concepts:
Going forward, we want MetaGame to contain anything a human needs. From co-working/co-living places to crypto friendly neighborhoods & villages.
By this point, the game itself should also be a 3D virtual world, here's the concept:
Players are the most precious part of MetaGame. No Players, no MetaGame. They are either here to build their own project, to freelance for others, or both. Each player has a profile that displays their skill trees, past achievements, and their affiliations to serve as sort of a portfolio. The profiles also display a player's favorite memes, books, wishes, aspirations & such, for them to easily relate to & connect with other like-minded people.
Guilds are another crucial piece of the puzzle. A Guild is any group of people with a long term goal, free to play their own coordination game. It may simply be an interest group formed inside the MetaGame, eg. "A Builders Guild", but it may also be any group of people that existed before MetaGame, eg. an existing start-up, development or a marketing agency, a consultancy, or an investment funds. The guild profiles display things like internal hierarchy, their roadmap/battleplan, current status, open bounties, positions, etc.
It isn't yet clear how the Alliances would function, but they are groups of Guilds. One such Alliance would be the MetaCartel, with all it's member startups and organizations being Guilds.
Any human organization that plans on scaling needs a way of aggregating all the things that are needed, all the things that are sought and a way to exchange them.
Seeds are the equity token of MetaGame. They are created by contributing work and claiming it in the proper channel on Discord, they may also be minted for contributing funds. These tokens will be used up until the point we launch 1.0, at which point we will likely start minting a new token that would have a more predictable issuance rate and sold on a bonding curve. Owners of Seeds would be able to redeem Seeds for the new tokens at a better rate than they are issued for new work contributed.
Achievement are an easy way of displaying what the one has done with a stamp of social proof. MetaGame service for minting them was recently launched and is called "[https://twitter.com/mintitpls](The ChievMint Factory)". It will be a DAO in and of itself, and eventually build into the "ChievMint Network", which other Guilds could join to mint achievements for their members.
These are the original leaderboards of MetaGame. One is meant to measure how much work one has contributed to MetaGame, and the other, how much funds one has pledged.
Players join the MetaGame by contributing work or funds. There are many ways to earn your stay as a work contributor. Join MetaGame Discord and see the pinned post in #signpost for the simplest way or simply go see the Issues tab here on github then report on Discord after doing some work to get your membership and Seeds.
Post-1.0, Guilds join the game by offering some of their resources to the MetaGame DAO. Eg. if you're a podcasting Guild, the resource you produce is attention.
- You pledge some of it into the MetaGame DAO for votes in the DAO.
- You are free to allocate/sell the rest of it inside the MetaGame economy yourself. Same goes for investment funds who need to partner with the MetaGame to be able to invest inside the projects of MetaGame.
What is MetaFam
Gamification Why is it effective? In short, because it ticks all the boxes that drive humans to do things.
Aligning with the MetaFam Skin in the game, gamification & behavioral psychology
MetaFam A community of people & a DAO gathered around the idea of building the MetaGame. A global decentralized family held together by values & ideals rather than blood-ties.
Who is MetaGame for?
- Those who believe the web3 technologies can
Why?
- Because we know we could all do better if we collaborated more.
