Wizard Wednesday Episode 13 Transcription

WW Ep. 13

=

Elf: [00:00:00] How can we sleep when our wizards are burning? Welcome everybody. It's Wizard Wednesday. Doda, are you ready? I'm so ready. Awesome. As I said, it is Wednesday, October 27th, 2021, and it is time for our cult meeting, a k a Wizard, freaking Wednesday. This is El and Dota channeling in from the quantum downs.

It's four days away, my witches and wizards, four days until the greatest event in N F T history. The forgotten Roons Great Wizard Burning. What intrepid wizards will step to the fire and if they do, what will return disgusting ghouls and zombies. Maybe a lich, maybe a legendary ghost, maybe a pathetic pile of blood and guts.

What other secrets are hidden in these sacred [00:01:00] flames? Find out in the basement of the Secret Tower on All Hall Eve Dota, you and I have been burning the Midnight Oil perfecting this collection, putting that forgotten ruins magic into it. How do you think it's going, my friend? It looks like fire. Exactly.

It is so fire, dude. You know, I I, and I think you feel the same way. I, I, I'm, I'm getting the vibes that I got when we first made the Wizard collection. Cause like totally. I, I sup I super agree. I feel like when

Dotta: we first did Wizards originally, you know, the first version, it, it's, it comes out, you can squint and see something promising, but it doesn't, it's not quite there yet.

And it just takes like hundreds of iterations and iterations and sculpting and sanding and tweaking and, um, and it's really, really [00:02:00] coming together now. It's like I almost, you know, I, I'm almost sad that we're only gonna see maybe a thousand of these because there's really like 10,000 gems in the collection.

Elf: Yeah, yeah. There, there's so much more artwork than will actually be revealed. Um, cuz there's only like a hundred or a thousand-ish flames. So, but yeah, I think it's, I think it's gonna be super cool. It's, you know, for me it's like, like you, you, you do the, a first few, couple passes with your generator and they look good.

And then we tweak the generator more and they look better. And then we say, okay, maybe we add like a new body here and a new head there, and we change this body and what if we add this familiar? And what if we add this spell and then it just starts singing. Yep. And yeah, I, it it's like that last 20% polish just really is what sets it apart.

I super agree. Yeah. I

Dotta: tweeted out, um, a quote that I [00:03:00] really love from Teller earlier this week, which is just the idea that magic I, the idea of magic sometimes is just spending more time on something than anyone else would think is reasonable. And I, I feel that way sometimes when we're just like tweaking every pixel from the rib bone of a lich and it's just, um, it's, it's really becoming special.

Elf: Yeah, for sure. Yeah. I mean, this is a tip for anyone who's like trying to do their own collection. Like don't just like finish the art and then push it to their generator and then you're done. Like, you've gotta do several generations. You've gotta keep fussing with the art. Just do like 10, 20 generations, add more, edit more.

Just really polish the hell out of it until the whole collection looks great. That's, that's the biggest tip I can give. Um, cool. So, uh, we've got Bear Snake of course in Lochness. Yeah. I'm here in the same room as Bear

Dotta: Snake. What's up team? I, and guess [00:04:00] what? I let him hold my tongues in cue. It's

Cult Member: heavier than you would think.

Yeah, yeah. This is the first time Dota and Bear Snake are meeting in person. So I guess you guys are in the same house together right now? Yeah, he's at my house right now.

Dotta: Amazing. Exciting. Very exciting. He's taller than I thought.

Cult Member: Yeah. Awesome. Um, cool. Um, yeah, and just, uh, you know, I also wanna like, Uh, just quickly talk about that storyboard that I just pushed this morning. Um, I think it's one of the best boards we've done. I, I just, I, I love it. Um, and, and I just wanna say like, I myself did not draw those boards. Um, just, just for clarification, um, I've got this amazing, talented storyboard artist named Augustine.

He lives in Germany, actually. Um, and he's not even on Twitter. I've, I've told him, I was like, dude, if you just get on Twitter, you'll probably get a hundred follow followers today or more just from those boards. Don't try to track

Dotta: him down. Don't [00:05:00] try to find him and don't try to hire him. Yeah.

Cult Member: He's freaking amazing.

Um, he just gets it. Yeah. And so, yeah. He's a soul. Yeah. Yeah. Oh, and, and just for another point of clarification, I think two Wizard Wednesdays ago I talked about having this Dreamworks, uh, storyboard artist working for us. Augustine is not that guy. This is another storyboard artist who I, I haven't fully been able to bring on yet.

Um, I, I'm still learning my lesson on like announcing things that are gonna happen and then they don't happen. So, oh,

Dotta: I had a nightmare about that last night. Like, I literally had a nightmare last night that I announced on Twitter that we were dropping a token and you were pissed.

Cult Member: You were like, why would you tell them that

Dotta: we were dropping a token?

Like, we never talked about this. We just made this up. And I literally like woke up and checked my phone right away, like, check to see if I, I sent that message cuz it felt like so real. And so we are

Cult Member: not dropping a token. Yeah. If anyone was in Do's Dreams last night. Yeah. [00:06:00] Dude, I hate that I yell at you in your dreams.

That makes.

It's fine. I mean, if you announce the token, you'd yell at me too, the other one. Fair enough. Um, cool. Yeah. So tho yeah, but again, the storyboard, I, it's one of my favorites we've done and it's, um, you know, what's cool about it is it gives you a little bit of previews on, on what the burning is gonna be like.

Um, and then, you know, just another thing about the burning is so ju we decided, you know, we wanna do, like, we wanna make it an event. Um, and there's been lots of ideas floating around in the discord floating around in our team. Like, how, how do we make this an actual event? And so we're gonna do a, um, uh, a live watch party in Discord.

But, um, Lochness is the one putting this thing together. It was pretty much her idea. So, Lochness, do you wanna tell us all about this? Hey wizards. What's up? [00:07:00] Yeah, so we came up with the idea of broadcasting your burn, um, and there's some limitations that we have to work around on Discord, and I wanna open up the conversation to the wizards here to talk about that and give a quick shout out to o for making a great summary and shouting it out in the Gathering Guild on Discord.

Um, definitely on par with what we were thinking. So you basically will have the opportunity to sign up for a opportunity to broadcast your burn live. Now, the reason why there's a signup sheet is because Discord only allows 50 folks to watch a screen share at a time in any particular channel. And currently the stage channels do not allow folks to screen share.

I don't know why. It would be great if we could like set up a stage and have people come up to burn, but unfortunately we don't have that capability on [00:08:00] Discord, so we'll have to supplement that with a voice channel where you will share your screen and share your sound. I'm a part of a community that we have like these scheduled like chaos hours that are like.

Maybe twice a month where just everyone comes in and like shares their video, share a screen and just, you know, shoots the shit. And, um, it's really fun and I wanted to bring that here. So, because there's only 50 spots, we wanna to open up the conversation and explore having, you know, if there is, for example, a coven of witches who want to host a witch burning or a hoard of cobalts who decide they want to host their own burn event.

Um, because anyone can burn at any time. You can also explore hosting your own burning with your hoard or just by yourself, and will create a space on discord that has both a voice channel and a corresponding, uh, chat channel so that you can also host that [00:09:00] event on your own. The first of which of course is happening this Sunday.

For Halloween and the great burning, anyone can burn at any time. So just because you're not broadcasting your burn doesn't mean you can't burn and share that in discord anyhow. But yeah, I wanna open it up to any wizard here who is interested in broadcasting their burn. Uh, get to know if that's like a vibe you guys are feeling and yeah, so, so yeah.

So just for my own clarification, um, and you pretty much spelled it out, but, but yeah. Anyone who wants to burn like Crypto Kell or Ma or Magus Governor Edward, if you guys wanna burn your wizard, you will be able to broadcast that burn in our discord so that everybody will be able to see it. At least 50 people at a time, right?

Yes. 50 people at a time. Yeah. And you know, if there's, uh, sections or cords that wanna burn at the same time, we could have, we could explore having multiple, I just, you know, the more eyes on one wizard, [00:10:00] the better. Yep. Yeah. Cause what I like about this is like, most people only have one flame. So they only get to burn one time and you get one soul in return and that's great.

But like, there's so many souls in this collection and they're all very different. And so I think it's cool that you all get to see what everybody else gets. Um, you get exposure to the whole collection more. And like also this burn sequence itself that Dota and I have been putting together, I think it's pretty awesome.

Yeah. And that's like part of the whole effect too, is that at any point you can see, like, you'll hear the music that goes along with it. Yep. And like see the entire sequence, which is really unique per wizard. So. Yep. And, and speaking of music, Dr. Slur came up with some really cool ideas on that, with the sound and the music.

So,

Dotta: NOKs of the wood is asking on discord about what the exact time is. Um, so the, um, we will publish the [00:11:00] exact block number. Um, I'll try to publish it on Friday, so just so everyone knows, it's gonna be a block number, not a time. So, uh, if you're relatively new, uh, you may not know that, for example, on the blockchain, it doesn't actually have a wall clock time.

It only was the block number. And so, um, it's a bit, it's fair for everyone. Um, and we will post a countdown timer to the block number, um, in our discord, but it should be somewhere, um, I'm gonna target somewhere around like 10:00 AM central on the 31st. Um, and so that will kind of give us a few hours in the morning to make sure that everything's up and running.

But I'm probably gonna go trick-or-treating with my kids, by the way. Sure,

Cult Member: yep. Awesome. Um, yeah. Any questions so far? Let's open it up for a bit. Yes. Someone mentioned actually one of the 50 people who are watching the Burn in Our Discord to stream it onto YouTube, which is a great idea. So if we have any volunteers who are gonna be around, and we'll create a [00:12:00] thread on the secret tower just so we can like, flush out the ideas and make sure everybody's on the same page.

But that's a great idea. Yeah. Very cool.

Dotta: And there's no timeline either. There's no time limit either, right? Like, don't feel sort of pressure if you're very nervous about it. You don't have too many wizards. You're not really sure if you want to do it or not. You're f there's no rush. You know, for every flame there is a soul.

You know, if you wait until, um, as long as you want, frankly, uh, you can still burn your wizard at any time. So if you're a bit anxious about it, don't, don't worry about waiting to see what others do. Mm-hmm. Um, of course, if you are, uh, uh, more of a gambler and you want to be first, We'll all be waiting to see what you receive.

Yep.

Cult Member: Yeah. And the space on Discord will be open from, you know, Sunday on. So if at any point anybody wanted to broadcast their burn like two years from now, they could do that in that space as well. Very cool.[00:13:00]

Any other questions or comments? Guess not everybody's clear on the burn. Um, cool. Dodi, do you have anything else you wanna say about it?

I'm making

Dotta: some blog posts for instructions on how to burn. I'm making instructions for, I, I'm working on like a collector's guide. Um, you know, I, the, the, while the souls are of course, free in the sense that you don't have to pay any eth, um, To mint one. Of course the cost is a

Cult Member: wizard. Hey, I had a, a question, uh, if that's okay?

Sure, sure, sure.

Dotta: Short then I'm

Cult Member: probably sound off. I can't hear. Oh, that's better. That's better. Um, okay if I ask a quick question. Yeah, [00:14:00] sure. Yeah. Um, so I'm interested in the phrase, uh, that was just said, for every soul or for every flame there is, there is a soul. Um, and you might not wanna let this uh, out yet, but I am just sort of wondering a bit about the mechanics.

So does every flame have a particular rarity or mechanic or procedure or is it, um, every flame is, is equal and fungible. And whenever dust someone does the burn, uh, random number, Jesus uh, works his way with their wizard. Hopefully that makes sense. Yeah.

Dotta: Absolutely. Yeah. So I'll be putting together a collector's guide that will put these ideas in writing.

But let me, um, kind of, um, explain it a little bit, which, what I, what I don't mind telling you, which is, yeah, there's no difference between the, the sacred flame NFTs themselves. They're all the same. They don't really affect kind of, um, the outcome. There are essentially, [00:15:00] um, two or maybe three, depending on how you think about outcomes that are possible.

Um, when, when you transmute your wizard through the flame, the first would be that your wizard, um, passes through the flame and is transmuted into a soul. Um, and so there is basically a set of outcomes for your particular wizard that, um, that, that are possible. And your wizard affects it, right? You know, um, the, the, the affinity, your own wizard has the, the, the traits that your wizard has.

It, it turns into a soul in a way that no other soul. We'll transmute. The second possibility is, uh, the chance of an undesirable. We're playing with black magic and it's unpredictable. And, um, there's, I don't mind telling you, there's, uh, roughly one in 10 chance of getting an undesirable. Um, and so if you wanna kind of run those numbers in your head, there's about, there's 1,112 flames.

That's the max supply of Souls 1,112. [00:16:00] Um, and there are about one in 10, so you could say 10%, which is maybe around a hundred. Um, undesirable possible outcomes. Um, so these undesirables, some of the things we talked about today are maybe a pile of dust or a pile of blood and guts or something like that.

The third outcome, The third outcome is there are in the, uh, set of forgotten souls, um, a few ultra rares, and you'll just have to wait and see, uh, for those. So that would be kind of like the mechanics. Um, folks have asked, you know, saying, well, uh, you know, what if I use a super rare wizard, what if I, you know, what I, I paid, I paid, you know, so much eth for this wizard.

What if I put that through the flame? Oh, you know, or, oh, this wizard has your face on it. Doda. What if I put this through the flame? Or what about honoraries? Then I think our answer to that really is that there's, um, there's no wizard that would be unaffected by the flame. That is, every wizard will be affected if it's transmuted through the [00:17:00] flame.

There's no wizards that can't be sent through. Um, and, but I think that, you know, it, it's unpredictable magic there. So, um, now someone else asks, does it matter? Do what? If I do first, what if I do last? Um, I can tell you that the order matters somewhat, but. Uh, you know, I would, I, I, we, it doesn't, there's nothing to tell you whether earlier is better or later is better, but the order does matter.

Cult Member: Well, thank you very much for that. Um, the only other thought that I would add is this is the first N F T project, um, that the actual kind of lore is overwhelming. You know, my, my wallet and my gambling sense because I sold my flame on, uh, because I was so attached, uh, to my wizards. And now, and seriously, I was like, I'm not doing black magic to these guys.

They're happy. They're, they're happy, Mary, come on. I'm not doing it to them. Yeah. [00:18:00] And now I have this FOMO about the, uh, the whole burn, but I'm actually enjoying the fomo, which is a new, a new experience for me. So congratulations, uh, that you've got, um, Such a really good mechanic going, and I'd love to write a few more burn poems, uh, before, uh, burn day and maybe after.

And if there's time at the end of Wizard Wednesday, I have one from Zaum that I just wrote today I'd like to share. Oh, interesting. Okay. Fantastic.

Dotta: Yeah. Yeah. And a also on like the technomics too, I think it's really important for people to understand that you're burning your wizard token, you're losing the wizard token that you had and getting a soul in return.

And so, um, both one, it's different from, let's say mutant apes where you kept your original ape, if they drank the serum or something. Um, it, so whereas that was inflationary, this is actually deflationary both for wizards and for flames, which is something that is interesting, like, [00:19:00] you know, uh, uh, yeah, it'll be interesting to kind of see how folks feel about the souls versus kind of the flames and the wizards themselves.

And so, but a, as a wizard is burned, actually the number of wizard tokens is, um, MI minus by one. The number of flames is minus by one, and the number of souls is plus by one.

Cult Member: Yep. I I had a question. Yep. Sorry. Absolutely. Hey, by the way, um, so I think you kind of answered elk, but, but my question was not every art is necessarily gonna be put into the collection, right?

Depending on what wizards are burned and the randomness. Is that right? Yeah, yeah. That's,

Dotta: Yeah, there are fewer parts in the soul's collection. Mm-hmm. We may even publish the numbers just so people can kind of help make their

Cult Member: calculation. Yeah. N not every, there's not like a one-to-one swap for every part, let's put it that way.

No, no way.

Dotta: Yeah. And so that's a really important thing to think about in terms of affinity. Someone has asked us, oh, if I have a five of [00:20:00] five affinity, is that gonna be a 5 0 5 soul? And the answer is not necessarily, um, you know, your, your affinities are being transmuted through the flame. And so, uh, they're, you're not ne guaranteed sort of the same degree of rarity.

You're not necessarily a degree guaranteed the same. Uh, it's, you won't have the same affinity actually. Like, you certainly

Cult Member: won't have the same affinity. Yep. Cool. Thanks. Yep. Hey, uh, someone also

Dotta: asks, will the souls appear in the same collection, an open zero or separately? And they'll be a separate collection.

And so you'll see actually, you know, we talked a lot about how there's 10,000 wizards. There won't be 10,000 really in the same sense anymore.

Cult Member: That actually, actually reminds me of something I want to go over quickly. I've noticed a lot of fake flames on open sea, which is just so sad to see, but I think every single collection suffers from this.

Um, so Doda, can you give any like, pointers on how to detect a real flame versus a fake flame? [00:21:00] Well, I mean, uh, yeah,

Dotta: like be careful I suppose is the main thing. Like with any NFT that you buy, go through, um, official channels. So we post it in our own official announcements. We've linked to it on our blog, like on our website.

So there's no other way. I mean, if you know of a fake one, report it. Yeah. Um, but I think that's, that's it. So someone had a question. I, I didn't quite see who it

Cult Member: was. Hey, it's me. Um, first I just wanted to give a shout out to No, AKA a compulsive. Um, Re Doser on Twitter. I had the privilege of going to see his Flame school wizard mural in Austin this week, and it was so cool.

Oh, nice. Um, really well done. I highly encourage anybody who's passing through Austin or just, you know, happens to be there to go check it out. Really dope to see our wizards in the real world. Yep. Um, question on the burn. Will there [00:22:00] be some sort of graveyard to memorialize, uh, all the wizards that have been burned throughout the months and years?

Um, yeah. Well, sort of, so when you burn your wizard,

Dotta: Um, uh, an entry is written automatically to the Book of lore. That's part of the transaction, um, that we kind of built into the book of lore. Is that, is that sort of their final moments are, are posted there? Um, uh, we're working on making the book of lore like better, having discovery better, adding more features.

There's all these things you want to add. Um, and so that will be one of the pages like, or at least like a directory that we'll add, which is sort of like the, the, the tales of burned wizards. Um, though I'll admit that we won't have that on day one, but for sure it's something that we want to

Cult Member: do. Yep. And can we, can we edit a dead wizard?

We can't edit It's old lore, right? If it's burned, that's right. Yeah. Because technically you won't

Dotta: own that token any longer. You won't, is, you know, the book

Cult Member: of lore.[00:23:00]

Doda, I think you cut out. Yeah, he cut out. I think we, I think he was gonna say is the book of law. You can only, um, write it if you actually own the token in your wallet. Um, once you actually burn it with the sacred flame, it should be sent over to the dead wallet. So it'll be no longer in your possession, so you shouldn't be able to write anything about it anymore.

And there's no way to retrieve that wizard anymore either. So, um, if there's any law that you want to write about that wizard, um, I would advise you probably write it before you send him off into the flame because, um, there's, it's a one-way street. That's correct. Yep.

Dotta: I also wanna talk a little bit about the on chain of Forgotten Souls because I think, uh, and again, I'll write about this, but I think that, um, it's important to, like, some people are curious, like, I'll write, put this in the collector's post.

You know, one of the things that we sort of brag about with the forgotten men's wizards is the fact that all of the, um, pixels and attributes can be recreated from on chain data, including the names, uh, which is like [00:24:00] relatively rare, even among NFTs. Um, so Forgotten Souls is a bit different because what you basically have is sort of these three constraints.

One is, Um, like, like secrecy, privacy, that like of, of the what will be burned. So that way you can't be botted, right? Like we've all been part of mints where the rares get sniped or people who have bots, some have some sort of information advantage. We've worked really hard to make sure that there's no information, information advantage for bots at whatsoever.

Um, and then we also wanna make sure that when you, when you mint your soul, that you have kind of instant reveal that you are able, you mint your soul, you see it right away, that you don't have to wait like 48 hours for some reveal, which would be weird anyway because there's no time limit on the burning.

Um, but all of that together, kind of, those constraints make it actually very difficult because let's say that we uploaded the entire collection of all, you know, what the 10,000 souls were to be on chain. Well now maybe we make it difficult, but someone with a bot can actually [00:25:00] detect like, oh, if I burn my wizard, would I get it?

Rare or not? And we wanna avoid that situation. So what we basically are doing is kind of a tiered approach initially. The NFTs are actually stored kind of on our server, which is like, uh, in which a lot of projects do and people don't seem to mind. Uh, but in the first version we'll be hosting essentially like a centralized, gated version of the images and the data.

Um, from there we've built into the contract a checkpointing where we can send it to I P F S. Um, so if you're familiar with the technicalities, like ipf, f s is good because it's a standardized system where everyone can kind of like, um, do perform their own backups. It's replicated across a lot of places, right?

You know, you know, El and I sort of die and disappear off the planet. You can at least recover all of your N F T data from I P F S, but of course, IPF f s has its own shortcomings, which is like I P F S itself could maybe purge your data and that's a problem. That's one of the things we wanted to avoid.

Again, pretty much every other N F T on the planet, 99% of them, um, are using I P F S. But still, for us, that wasn't good enough. And so we still, on the [00:26:00] third case, we have provided a way. Four, putting the soles on chain again in snapshots. Um, but we'll just have to do it periodically. Gas is really expensive.

We have to wait and kind of see like how many people have turned forward. So, um, you know, what you'll basically see in the beginning is it sort of ranks maybe kind of low in terms of like the centralization, but we've provided like an upgrade path to make it be like fully on chain, just like wizards eventually.

But we have to wait to see what people burn before that's even possible. I dunno if that makes sense.

Cult Member: It makes sense. Um, and then Doda, actually one more thing I want you to maybe describe. Um, we were, we've been making the UI for this and you brought up something that I didn't realize, which is like, you have to like, and this is not because we built it this way, it's just because this is how Ethereum works.

You have to do like, what, like two or three transactions to actually make this whole burn happen, right.

Dotta: That's true. Yeah. So the burn process is quite a lot like adding liquidity on like sushi swap or unis swap or something like that. Right? Um, so if you've added liquidity or [00:27:00] done like any dey or yield farming, let's say that you wanna, well, maybe I'm getting too in the weeds, right?

But, but like, let's say that you wanna provide two tokens to liquidity, right? You approve, you do an approved transaction, you know, you have to do this before you sell an open sea is maybe a better analogy, right? You have to sort of do one transaction to like, you know, start your open sea wallet and then a second transaction for every time you have a new N F T that you wanna sell.

It's basically the same way where you're essentially saying like, I'm allowing the burn contract to take my soul. Uh, to take my wizard. That's the first transaction. I'm allowing the burn contract to take my flame. That's the second transaction. And then the third transactions, you're saying, okay, take those two tokens from me, burn them and mint me a new salt.

So yeah, it will be three transactions. I don't love it. I wish the gas was cheaper than it is, but it's just life on the blockchain so, uh, you, you know, it might be advantageous. That's why it'll be good that we're on the weekend too though, because you know, gas is typically slow on Saturdays and

Cult Member: Sundays.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just I wanted to call that out, just like be prepared [00:28:00] for three freaking gas transactions. I know that kind of sucks, but it's really the only way you can do it on Ethereum. Um, it might be kind of expensive on Sunday cuz there's a lot of collections doing Halloween stuff and dropping things on Sunday.

So be prepared for that. Interesting. Yeah. Two questions come to mind. One about gas and one about open sea. Um, given that forgotten ruins, wizards are on chain, is one of these three transactions going to be like an on chain transaction? Because people should be aware of that, uh, because gas is higher for on chain stuff.

So if you're approving your wizard, uh, Uh, I'm wondering if that will be an on chain, uh, transaction, so that might be a bit higher. Uh, the second question is about open sea open sea's done a thing where if you receive an N F T that's not from a verified collection, it goes into your [00:29:00] hidden tab. So I'm wondering if open sea is going to be kind enough to put forgotten souls as a verified collection.

Um, and if not, um, that's okay. But it might be good to advise people that they need to find their soul in the hidden tab cuz otherwise people are gonna be like, oh my God, I burned my wizard and I can't find my soul.

Dotta: Hope. Yeah. We'll te we, we, I don't know. I, the, these, i, the, the origin transaction will come from your address.

So I think open signal will detect that you want in it. Um, but yeah, in both these cases, they're all three are on chain transactions, thankfully. The first two are approved transactions, which are some of the cheapest that you do? You know, I mean, depend if gas, I don't know what gas has been lately, but like, um, the first two are relatively cheap.

The, the actual burning, because it needs to sort of like burn two tokens, mint a third token, and write to the book of lore. Um, you know, it's maybe a little [00:30:00] expensive. It's maybe like two unis swap transactions. I wish I could get it lower, but that was as best I could do.

Cult Member: Cool. Thanks. Um, cool. Well we have a few other things we have to talk about unless, unless there are any more burn questions. Any more burning questions? Exactly. All right. Um, yeah, it's gonna be awesome guys. Um, I can't wait for you to see the collection. Uh, okay. I just wanted to, um, geez, I, I got so many little points.

I don't know where to, where to start. Okay. Random point. We are, um, we are hiring a full-time artist starting next week. Um, already hired. Yeah. Yeah, she's great. Um, I've worked with her before. The reason we're hiring her, well, several reasons. Um, number one, she like, she knows how to use Photoshop, a Sprite, [00:31:00] Maya, after effects, like all the full freaking sweet, she can do it all.

Um, and so she's gonna be helping make gifts, helping make discord moats, helping make memes, helping with the freaking walk cycles, helping with pixel art, helping, like literally anything we want. She's gonna help with. Um, You know, this is something that, that, like I myself just constantly want, I wanna do more infographics, I want do more discord moats.

I wanna do just more art for, for our socials. It's, it's like, it's like burning inside me, but I'm, I'm like busy drawing ghosts and stuff, which is great, but it's just like, we needed like one more artist, um, to just help with these other things. So we're hiring a totally full-time person to help with this.

Um, and so I think it's gonna be great. She's, she's super cool. We'll invite her up here to speak if she wants to, uh, next week or the week after. So that's gonna happen. [00:32:00] And, um, du did you wanna say anything about that? I'm just very excited. Yep, yep. She's great. Uh, her name is Kristen. Or maybe, maybe I shouldn't have just said that.

I don't know if she wants to have a, a pseudonym, but I forgot. We all use pseudonyms. Her pseudonym is Kristen there? Yeah, exactly. Is she, is she gonna be taking on commissions or focusing on building like artwork within the community at all? Like by request? No, she's not really a commission person and I don't know unless, no, probably not.

No, she's more just like doing like official art for the team, if that makes sense. Yeah. Cool. Yeah, yeah. Uh, no, but commission wise, no. We've got tons of people. Brad, Margaret, tad major. I, I just countless like so many of you guys let, let me take an opportunity to say this. I was, I've been looking in the discord.

I, I lurk in there. I, I, I see what's going on. Um, [00:33:00] And you guys are just blowing me away with how much passion and life and activity and energy and just heat that you're bringing to this project. Like I, I was looking at bread's, um, like nouns. Remixes of wizards. Yeah. Ah, so excited. Oh my God. They're great.

And, and I'm, I, I just like, I sit back in my chair and I'm just like, what have we created this, this is fucking amazing. The just what the things that you guys are doing. And so I, you know, I just want to say thank you and like doda, right? I mean, it, it's just mind blowing what everybody's doing.

Dotta: I can't wait to get our first like wizard collection, like derivative collection out.

I love like the, the nouns wizards though. I think they might be kind of secret. She hasn't shared it to everyone yet.

Cult Member: Yeah, [00:34:00] you kind of spoiled a little, but it's okay. Oh, Brad, I'm so sorry. It was in the Discord. I thought it was public. Everybody in the um, the Guild thought already. Yeah, okay. Right. The guild, you allowed to talk about it at all.

Dotta: Are you allowed to come on? And

Cult Member: that was a good one. Oh, I'm such an idiot, Brett. I'm so sorry. It was actually, I think it was TV's idea, so it's up to him whether. Or his original idea to do non wizards. Yeah, soon. I, I'm so sorry. Um, well, they look awesome. Fun. They look amazing. Yeah. Little teaser. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They, you. Yeah. I just, it's, it's impressive.

We'll, we'll bring you up to speak whenever you're ready and whenever they're done, you can talk about 'em. Um, cool. Looks [00:35:00] like we've got some other requests. Let me see. Oh, the watercolors

Dotta: from, I think they're from, um, like Ile.

Cult Member: I actually forget who my dose. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how to say I, Ile, whatever.

Um, those are freaking amazing. Yeah. Really good. Yeah. Ile, if you're, if you're in the chat, um, I've, I, well, I've been DMing this person asking if I can commission some wizards, but yeah, there they are. They're up in our, um, little thing. Um, but yeah, I, I love 'em. I love 'em so much. Um, I mean one of my favorite things about 'em is like, they're made with watercolor, which is a very organic medium, very loose, but it, they, they kind of retain a little bit of the, the pixel quality.

So it's, it's like this really interesting balance that I haven't seen done in watercolor. Do we have someone reading lore today? We do. Crypto. Hell's gonna read Laura. Um, and yes, we will definitely do that in a bit. Um, there's [00:36:00] one other thing I just wanna touch on. Uh, the, um, the tit mouse animation. Um, I, I think we talked about trailer.

Yeah, the trailer. The trailer, yeah, exactly. So yeah, so we've got the, the, the TV development deal, but then we also have the 62nd trailer. It's kind of weird to call it a trailer cuz it, it's, I I feel like it's more than that, but whatever. It doesn't matter. Um, so I just wanted to update you guys on that.

Um. So, yeah, we've, we've been working with Tip Mouse on this for, for the past few weeks, almost like a month or more. Uh, we've been, we're, we're at like the storyboard animatic phase and the final cut of the animatic was supposed to be last Friday. And so first, let me just say tit mouse has been an absolute de delight to work with.

I have loved every meeting we've had. They've been super nice. They're super talented. I love it. Um, the Friday, the, the final cut they sent on Friday was great. [00:37:00] And, and I think like most projects or most people would've said, this is perfect. Let's green light it. Let's go. Um, but I am an obnoxious perfectionist, and I think if we are spinning this kind, what's that Dota.

Uh, yeah, I love it. Oh, okay. Yeah, so, okay. But, but I think it can be better, um, if we're spending this kind of money and, and this is our, gonna be like our greatest promotional piece for a while. It, it's, it's got to fucking melt the faces. It's gotta be operating at 110% and, and I think, I think it's at like 90% now.

Um, and so basically we've decided to extend production by another two weeks just to get it perfect. And

so, so, yeah. And, and so ba basically, you know, it, it's operating at at 80 and I need it to be a hundred. And here's, here's what I mean. So like, Every [00:38:00] single shot needs to be loaded to its utmost in storytelling Fidelity. We've only got 60 seconds in this whole piece, and I want to tell a story that spans the entire map with as many wizards as possible.

There needs to be layers and layers of storytelling happening in each shot. And, and some of them now only have one layer. And so, so that's why we're ex extending production by two more weeks, uh, because, because every shot has to have multiple layers of Stella storytelling. And of course, to balance all this information you have to art, do it artistically because it can't be a chaotic mask.

A mess. So, so what I'm trying to do is I'm trying to make this thing an absolute symphony, a a 12 course meal and an epic novel with all of the drama masterfully packed into 60 seconds. And, and I'm hoping by the end of this, when we release this, this is gonna be the kind of [00:39:00] thing that a lot of you might step through, frame by frame, dissecting each shot, figuring out what's going on.

Um, and so, yeah. So that, that's, that's what we're trying to achieve with this, this trailer. It's looking

Dotta: really good. I can't wait to share it to

Cult Member: everyone. Yep. Yep. Um, cool. That looks like we have another, uh, request to speak. Um, uh, yeah, I saw we had a real

Dotta: top shot coming up here. I also saw Tom was here for a second.

I'm not sure if you were able to get on stage.

Cult Member: Oh yeah. You know what I have, I think I have to kick some people off stage, um, to let other people up. You can kick me. That's cool. Okay, cool. Lemme yeah. Let remove, let move put Me too. Yep. Okay, cool. Uh, remove. Yeah, I think that's what the problem is. Okay.

There we go.[00:40:00]

There we go. Cool. Um, oops. Okay. New speakers. Hello. Hi Zach.

Dotta: Hey. Real top shot. Hey.

Cult Member: Hey. Hello everyone. Hello. Hey, uh, real quick, I had a couple questions. Um, first I just wanted to say that I'm really blown away with this project. Really like it a lot. Uh, I think I joined you guys like a week or so after your original mint.

Um, the first time I ever heard about a wizard, I bought one within a couple minutes, and, uh, really happy about that decision. Um, I'm a proud flame holder and I would very much like to contribute to the book Allure. My, my question is, um, my wizards are currently held in a Coinbase wallet. Which is unable to connect through Wallet Connect.

And so I, I'm interested in burning my [00:41:00] wizard, but I'm also very committed to writing in the book of lore. Um, I'm torn because I don't want to transfer my wizard because I don't know. I received the flame by holding a wizard in the same wallet for a long time. Mm-hmm. And who knows if other good things could come to those that have held a wizard or a flame for a long period of time.

So I'm really reluctant to transfer and really reluctant to, um, to not write in the book of lore. So what would you advise? I do, um, I mean, we're working to get the Coinbase

Dotta: wallet issue addressed. I mean, I think we've started work on it.

Cult Member: Um, it's hard for us to

Dotta: like maybe make any promises

Cult Member: about long. Uh,

Dotta: like what will be the qualifications for any future airdrop, right?

Like sort of longest holding wallets is a good metric in that it's helpful because you can see people who didn't sell, but it's also difficult for all the reasons that you mentioned, right? Like [00:42:00] maybe you bought it under a wallet, you didn't wanna move, you need to move it to like a ledger.

Cult Member: Um,

Dotta: I mean, I think if you're gonna be burning a wizard anyway, I can't think of a scenario where we're gonna like reach back.

Um, like what I mean is like, let's say you have Wizard A and you're gonna burn him. You could move him to a meta mask, right? His lore and then burn the wizard. Like, I wouldn't see a case where that would disqualify you for a future kind of airdrop.

Cult Member: Okay. That's good to know. Well, and another thing to keep in mind, and this is for everybody, um, writing in the book of lore is a good way to get whitelisted for airdrops as well, right?

Am I, am I allowed? Exactly. Well, Yeah, we're

Dotta: way more likely in the future. Well, I mean, not that we wouldn't prioritize longest holder, but like what we did for, for example, even for the Flames was like the first 101. It actually ended up being the first 101, which was literally every single person who had written in the book of Laura by that point.[00:43:00]

Oh, can you hear me okay?

Cult Member: Yeah, just say that last part again. Uh, I was saying that

Dotta: there were 101 people who wrote in the book of Lore, um, that was every single person who wrote in the book of lore, even after we announced, you know, you get a flame if you write in the book of lore, pretty much, um, like, and then they were prioritized over the longest holding accounts.

And that's something that we're more likely to do in the future. Like, we're more likely to kind of prefer, like maybe there will be passive, um, conditions for receiving an airdrop, but we're almost always gonna prefer an active condition over a passive one because I think our community is so built around like, Writing lore and creating.

Um, I think that's like one of the reasons that's like someone told me even that was why they hadn't bought a wizard cuz they were like, yeah, it seems like to be successful in Wizards you need to be like creative and like making things and producing and I don't really feel creative, so I just like skipped over it and you know, [00:44:00] like, what, what do we change something there?

I'm not sure. But I think that his analysis was spot on, which is like, we're a very like, active community and so that's where we'll prioritize in future drops. Um, not to say we won't have passive, but that's w will be the first, first priority.

Cult Member: Yep. Sounds good. So, um, I guess a, along that same vein then, if, if I have multiple wizards and I want to make an entry with all of them, that's great.

Um, but the one wizard that I do select to be burnt, should I, should I do that? Um, not having that token anymore, not being the owner of that Wizard token. How does that work? If you've written lore for a token that no longer exists, is that gonna, I mean, obviously you can still see what Wallet wrote, the lore and what wallet was used to burn that wizard.

Do you foresee anything in the future where, um, wallets that wrote in [00:45:00] the book of lore prior to a wizard being Burt would be more advantageous or, that's interesting. Just,

Dotta: you know, we don't have any airdrops planned, so it's like really hard for me to like, um, you know, make those kinds of future promises.

I do think it's like in every case, we're just trying to be as thoughtful as we can about like, who should receive this, right? Like, um, and really what fits within the narrative of our world. Like when we do an airdrop, it's not just like, oh, we're sending tokens because, you know, we like buzz. It's almost, it, it's always gonna be like, this is part of the narrative of our universe and.

There's like, there's gonna be a reason for it. So if the reason ends up being like, oh, we want to airdrop something to everyone who owns a soul or something, then you know you'll be covered.

Cult Member: Excellent. Good. Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. Yeah. So I, and I, even if you did have an airdrop planned, I wouldn't want you to disclose it cuz the fun is [00:46:00] in the, the kind of secrecy of it, the, the hidden qualities that it's just a fun surprise.

I can't even begin to tell you. I was on vacation with my family when I just was browsing through my Coinbase wallet, like I often do multiple times a day. And to just see that flame, like I was totally unplugged from the internet. I had no idea what was happening. I was just like, I mean like jumping up and down.

I was so excited. I love it. So I love it. Thank you guys for all your hard work and of course for taking my questions. Absolutely. Yeah. Uh, any other questions? Um, just quickly, just want to say that, um, Briefly, uh, I really, really appreciate how you, how you guys handled the airdrop for the flames. I think it was probably the most thoughtful way to do an airdrop.

Um, I know that you guys, that you guys deliberated it for quite a long time over a couple of methods that you figured would be the perfect one, and I think that you hit the nail right on the head for making sure that you know most people.[00:47:00]

Thanks. I, I think I accidentally hit the mute everyone button while, while you were talking Magus Devon, but, but I, I, I hear what you're saying and, and thank you so much. We, yeah. We put a lot of thought into, um, how to drop these flames. Um, I hope everyone's not permanently muted. No, I think we're good. Do, can you, okay, cool.

Alright, cool. Yeah, I was trying to request a, a speaker request or approve of speaker. Yeah, that button is best time. I just finished talking about it though. Okay, cool. Um, okay, cool. Yeah, so we have a thanks minutes and I want Crypto Kell to read some Laura, but I wanna just quickly do some shoutouts real quick.

Um, so Magus whizzer of course, again, as always, uh, first of all, as always, Magus here made a, a commitment to post once a day. I was it until the show or until the Burning. I can't [00:48:00] remember exactly what his, the time limit was. Um, but until, yeah, yeah, until he dies an animation or whatever, right? Yeah. Um, exactly.

That's what it was. I, so I just wanna draw, draw attention to the most impressive thing I thought he's done this week, which is, which was like that, that CG version of his character. Like, dude, how do you do these things so fast? You're blowing my mind. Let's bring him up here. I, I don't, I don't think he wants to come up.

If he does, he's just gonna ring a bell. Is that the second reason why you prolonged the animation drop? Cause you want two more weeks of his posting. Yeah, yeah, exactly. Sorry, Magus was here. You got two more weeks to fill up. Um, yeah. And so, but I've been working, I Go ahead. I've been working on e theory of who he might be.

So he ca he was probably [00:49:00] not Vitalic. So maybe he's, he's people or somebody on that team right now. He joined like right before all this shit started happening. Yeah. He just came outta nowhere. Um, yeah, Magus was there still, there's a standing in invitation for you to come up and speak anytime you want, but no pressure.

Um, but we love what you're doing. Uh, and then I saw Tey Techie, I think made a three, a 3D print for Magus Wasier, um, which was just gorgeous. Um, I, yeah, I, I love seeing those. Um, Mindo and hen Boyd have been making lots of awesome memes. Um, we called out I ilex, uh, watercolors. Um, I also wanna give a quick acknowledgement to Wiz Ramiz, who DMed me like a few weeks ago and suggested that we somehow get, uh, Duncan Trussel to join the cult, which I think is an excellent suggestion.

Uh, so I, [00:50:00] yeah, we'll work on that. So thanks. Whisper me. I, I don't want you to think I'm ignoring that suggestion. Um, I think it's a great idea. He, he'd be perfect. Um, for those of you don't, who don't know, Duncan Trussel voiced, um, the main character in Midnight Gospel. I think that's who it is. I'm, maybe I'm wrong on that.

Yeah. One,

Dotta: it's

Cult Member: actually, it's actually his show. He's the one who, who pretty much wrote it. I mean, well writing is different because it's kind of like a podcast in animation form, but yeah, sure. Yep, yep. Exactly. Yeah. So perfect candidate for, to join the cult. Um, I feel like I was gonna say one more thing.

Doda, do you have any shout outs that you wanted to make? We can get to

Dotta: them through Tim Mouse. Uh, no. None more than this. Okay, cool. I mean, I guess really to like the deck, Niki is killing it, by the way. Like he hasn't been up here on stage, but maybe we should have him sometime. Like he's really been my right hand in terms of programming and, um, helping [00:51:00] get the souls ready.

He's doing such a great job. Also, Chuck K has been working on a, um, burn bot, uh, which is in testing, so that way we can have like a Discord bot and, um, so yeah, the, the, the lots of good folks who have joined the guilds and have things

Cult Member: bubbling up. Yep. Oh, and I saw an amazing, uh, video by chemical imbalance.

Um, I, I think he uploaded the wrong video cuz he, he took it down. It was like a, a poor quality, but I think he's gonna re-upload a better quality. Um, it, it was, it's epic. So, Um, but yeah. Thank you. Chemical imbalance. Well done. And, and, and again, there's so many like amazing things happening in the discord that, that I'm not like calling out, but it just blows me away every day.

Um, so thanks guys. Um, yeah. Good boy.

Dotta: Good times. You just came up here. Logan. Hello.

Cult Member: Yo. [00:52:00] Yo. Yo. Hey, uh, I just wanted to say I'm working on a walk right now. Big buckle blue and uh Okay. Thanks for letting me help out. Yes, good boy is helping with the walk cycles. We'll get 'em done one of these days. Yes.

Dotta: Oh yeah. Thanks guys. Can I add, tell, start reading the lore? Sure, yeah,

Cult Member: please. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Lore made, so I, I recently got into the Wagni project and the discord is really cracking off in there. I just wanna remind everybody that you don't have to own your, like your wizard's bag, like, I picked up a bag, secondary market, and it still,

Dotta: and like got grilled.

So, um, yeah, this is really exciting and

Cult Member: I, I like advise people to pick up a bag secondary market if you can. Awesome. Yep. Yep. That's it. Very cool. Uh, crypto Kell, are you ready? Uh, yes. Can you hear me okay? Is sounding okay? Yes. [00:53:00] Hey, sounds good. All right. Uh, so I'm gonna talk about a wizard that some of the regulars have probably heard of already and some of you may even be a little tired of hearing from her as she's pretty active on Twitter actually, and, and also in the Wizard Discord.

Um, but for those of you who don't know, I'm gonna talk about chaos, ma Mio of the wood. Um, so she's got her Twitter profile. Just search chaos. Ma mio. Think there might be a. Picture profile coming up of her in a little bit that you can look at while I'm telling you a little bit more about her. Um, hey crypto, quick, quick question.

Are you the owner of Chaos? Ma m Chaos? Ma Mio is her her own thing. I don't, wouldn't say I'm her owner so much as I'm her steward or trying to keep. Okay. Very cool. Yeah, you don't have very cool. Yeah, I, it's so funny. So many of you guys are multiple identities and I never know who's who. But anyway, yeah, so basically cast made Mio.

She's running what she's calling a [00:54:00] special wizard burn election. Um, I'm not really involved in all that, but, uh, she's gonna be communicating the final candidate and opening it up for voting with the idea that the, uh, winner is gonna get burned. But, we'll, we'll see what she does. She's not exactly reliable, but, uh, what she.

Doesn't really talk about is about herself. So I'm here to tell a little bit about her past and where Mio came from and how she got to how she is today. So since birth, Mio lived at a Cinnabar mine, uh, and Cinnabar is a rock, uh, red type of rock, and Mercury is actually extracted from that, and that is prized among the Alchemist community for its unique properties, uh, and among the wider wizarding community as an occasional source of powerful Cinnabar Roons.

Uh, unfortunately, some unscrupulous red wizards created company towns and ensnared poor laborers into perpetual debt. And the life expectancy for the Mercury mins is low due to the [00:55:00] exposure of the Mercury. So, unfortunately, by the age of 10, Mio had already lost both parents as a result of this. Uh, but unfortunately their debt was passed on to her based on the contract they had signed.

And so she remained at the mine. The children were not forced to work deep in the mines where the exposure was the greatest. They mainly act as gophers and messengers, but still, Mia was constantly exposed to a low level of mercury, and gradually she noticed that her hands constantly trembled. She kept forgetting things and she struggled to keep her energy up.

Still, the mine owners would not relent. She needed to keep working off her debt as long as she was physically able. Unfortunately, her housing bare bones, as it was, exceeded her meager wages. One day feeling especially weak. Mio felt she couldn't go on. She crawled into a dark, abandoned shaft of the mine wishing for maximum exposure in order to end her suffering quickly.

However, instead of a quick death, she found something else. [00:56:00] As she lay there in the dark, she suddenly noticed two luminous eyes. Looking back at her, a feline form emerged glowing red with otherworldly sins as she stared at what appeared to be a cat. A symbol formed in her head, the Roone of Cinnabar. It felt like a question.

She accepted the power and the roone became part of her being. As she breathed deep inhaling the mercury vapors and the magic. Both. She suddenly felt more powerful than she ever had before it was intoxicating. Now she was the one who would be giving the orders. She was the one who would make her will a reality.

A floating ball of glowing lava slowly appeared above one hand, and the face that it revealed looked much different from the tired soul that had crawled into that crevice. Rumors abound about what really happened to destroy the Cinnabar mine. Everyone knows that a freak earthquake struck the mine. At the same time, [00:57:00] magma bubbled up from under the mine, flooding the tunnels even as they collapsed.

There were a few individuals who claimed to have formally worked at the mine. After a few drinks at the tavern. Some of them claimed to have seen a demonn emerge from the mines wading through the magma, as if it were water and laughing as the magma engulfed everything in sight. When pressed on why they had survived to tell the tale, one fellow claimed that they would've been consumed, but the demon turned away at the last moment to head toward the owner's compound, allowing him and a handful of others who had been outside of the mine at the time to escape.

Many of the self-proclaimed survivors happened to be children, but their tales were dismissed out of hand as fanciful, particularly the ones about a magic glowing cat that had walked beside the fiery apparition these days. Mio does what she likes. She can be kinder, angry, brutal, or merciful. According to her whims, she scoffs at Wizard conventions and norms, and this can be seen in both her [00:58:00] personal style as well as in the way she conducts herself.

Unfortunately, the effects of the Mercury have permanently altered her psyche and her frequent and untutored use of magic hasn't helped as a result. Anyone who interacts with her is never quite sure what to expect. She tends to make for a powerful but fickle ally. Just make sure her interests stay aligned with yours.

Unfortunately, lately she's learned about the sacred flames and seems to view them both as a source of amusement as well as alternatively to punish people, gain more powerful servants, or even just to state her curiosity. However, as she continues to learn more about the flames, they seem to have become an obsession.

Will she go through with Her Wizard Burn election or do the CL flames called to her personally? Stay tuned to find out

Ke. That was excellent. Really well structured story. Um, [00:59:00] I, I love how you put the childhood in there and how you, you nailed the, uh, the red wizards. I mean, they are certainly, um, pillaging, profiteer type wizards. Um, and just like, like you really filled out her whole story. Like I, I can see this character. I, I understand her.

That's so well done. Thank you. And I just say if you're curious, there are entries in the book of lore about some of these Wizard Burn candidates and some of them have actually escaped. So, uh, there's some, uh, threads to follow if you're interested. So good, man. Excellent. Well done. I loved it. And I, and I love that you used the, the Roone, the Cinnabar Roone.

Um, it's the first time I've heard somebody write about that. Um, a lot of people forget about the Roone. Uh, but yeah, you, you wove it masterfully into the store. Thank you. Thank you. Hey, elf is the, I, I did some Laura today for [01:00:00] literally the most messed up psychotic sociopathic wizard that I've ever seen.

Is there time for me to read that? Yeah, yeah. Go for it. I, I, I just gotta say that I'm impressed and shout out to Zakim who wrote this really beautiful, long sort of lore, uh, that he's gonna be putting in the book of lore. And it's just gorgeous. But he wanted a poem. As well about his wizard, who I'm just getting the number for.

It's 45 53 and it's Pyr Eden. So here's the poem about him. Fire in my veins. Since the first time I learned how so alive, so willing, worked and built my wisdom every being I have burned, I carry with me. Beyond grief and guilt. The sacrament of blackened bubbling flesh designs the flame, the color of the soul that feeds it.

Ancient prophecies [01:01:00] will mesh with all my crimes. I will not pay the toll for knowledge. Hardy root's ruler's, son, I killed to feed the living flame. Thought he was low born, but the Knights of Justice drank their fill of me. So I must pack my things and go into the forest. Tall, unmarked by shame. I look for destiny, the sacred flame.

Awesome. I I love that all of our lore today is fire themed.

Dotta: That's perfect.

Cult Member: Yeah. Uh, so stay away from this wizard if you see him, cuz he is gonna cut you up and use you for science experiments.

Perfect. Yeah. Thank you Margaret. And I'm so glad that you're still writing poems for us. Margaret has been with us since the beginning. It's, it's so great. Oh,

Dotta: um, I gotta say too, the first time we posted, I think we posted an honorary for Claire. [01:02:00] Um, this is the Chromemaster Claire, and then Margaret replied with a poem.
