Wizard Wednesday Episode 27

=

Elf: [00:00:00] It is Wednesday. It's a hard knock life. We are wizards. It's time for our weekly cult meeting, aka. Wizard Wednesday. This is Elf and Doda and Lochness and love there channeling in from the Quantum Downs. Doda, you have been asking for Wizard Babies and now we've got an entire orphanage to look after.

What have you done? Oh

Dotta: boy. Uh, well, we gotta make sure they're fed good, not. Old pig

Elf: rule, change their diapers.

Dotta: Dotas college funds for Dotas kids pick for all of

Elf: their colleges. I have been meaning to, um, acknowledge the Wizard Babies for weeks now, and it, and it, I keep forgetting about them. Acid eater and, and is Bill Gaines part of the Wizard Babies as well?

Yes. Okay. It's, [00:01:00] it's been great. And, and yeah, I've been meaning to, to acknowledge it, but I, I've been loving the little babies. They're, they're so cute. Looks like the community's really having fun with them, but, but I honestly don't know much about 'em. Do you, do you guys know much about him? Well,

Dotta: they're unrevealed as far as I know.

I haven't, I don't think they've revealed, is anyone okay?

Bearsnake: I know that they're, I know that

Elf: they're really cute. Yeah. Yeah. Bill Gaines or acid eater. If, if you guys wanna come up and say anything about the babies, please, uh, let us know. Yeah. Um, I, I think

Dotta: that they might, well, and there was some drama this morning.

They, a, they went to re withdraw the eth from the contract and it was stuck. Um, there's sort of an esoteric bug where it was sending some of the funds to like a multisig, uh, wallet and, and it was getting weird out of gas errors. And so, uh, the babies were, were, were trapped. And then, you know, we, we almost had to, like, we, I say we, I wasn't doing it, but we almost had to redeploy the contract and [00:02:00] airdrop all new tokens.

And then the eat was gonna be lost and stuck forever. But, um, in the last minute, Methodist stops, uh, he ca he came through and he saved the babies and the eth was unstuck. And he wrote some weird code and it fixed it. It was amazing. I was like so impressed. I couldn't believe it.

Elf: Meha rescued an entire orphanage.

That's amazing. Yeah.

Dotta: Yeah. It's, that's a very dialectic thing to do. So, oh, hello. Forgotten babies.

Elf: You're up on stage. Hi. Hey. Hello everyone. Yeah. Do you wanna tell us about the babies? Yeah. Tell us about the project. I saw

Cult Member: this tweet from Tota I did about these wizard babies, and then I told my wife acid eat.

I was like, You, you have to make some wizard babies. These are too cute. And so she started making them, and then lots of people started requesting them. Mm-hmm. And, uh, so she ended up like making a lot of the assets. And [00:03:00] then we wanted to get, give them to everyone for Valentine's Day, because babies for Valentine's Day would've been really funny.

Uh, we just, we just weren't ready for it then. So we had, we had to delay. Um, but the babies, all the artwork is ready. We're getting everything ready for the reveal right now. Our, our longer term plans with the babies is to make a. Smart contract that you can interact with and get maybe like a baby soul or maybe use your, your baby to distract a dragon for treasure.

A variety of other things, including Sacred Milk. But we also have a N F T world and I have a Axi scholarship program. These guys are just like, they also love Minecraft, so they've been playing on our N F T World Server and building it out for the babies. [00:04:00] So we will have forgotten babies fall guys and wow.

Forgotten babies. Bow fights and capture the flag. And then I think Mag's awesome Mag's degree is gonna be building a a school there. We're gonna build them a school and we're gonna have baby wizards role play. In, in our school.

Elf: You're not gonna burn any babies, are you?

Cult Member: We there there is a lot, a lot of intention to burn babies.

Elf: Yes. Okay.

Lachness: We're trying to, of the ethical way to do it.

Elf: Okay. Okay.

Cult Member: We wanna, we wanna have like rewards in the, in the N F T world server. So that you have something to, like, you can win a prize weekly or something where you can interact with your baby in a certain way. We can, we can introduce new artworks or mutations like we talked about.

Maybe, uh, feeding mushrooms to babies, [00:05:00] turns them into weird mushroom creatures or feeding plant food to the babies. Turns them into plants. Yeah. Some superheroes. Nope. Makes them superheroes. It reminds

Elf: me of

Dotta: like, um, on, uh, that Pixar movie where you have like Jack Jack, that's like the baby superhero.

Yeah. Oh my God.

Lachness: Yes. That would've been a great one

Dotta: to make. Oh, well I just imagine that these wizard babies, like so many of 'em have like mis mischievous superpowers that they can use in surprising ways. Yeah.

Lachness: I guess we'll see what everyone else comes up with up to the

Elf: Lord. It's super cool.

Cult Member: Guys. Thank, thank you so much.

Yeah, it's been really fun to work on and I'm, I'm grateful that we were able to deliver some babies. For the

Elf: Wizards. Yeah. Yep. Yep. Awesome. We're, we're really looking forward to it. And, uh, we'll keep an our eye on the babies. All

Cult Member: right. Thank you guys for making such a wonderful project. We love you.

Elf: Yeah, we love you.

Yeah, we love the babies. Um, we had two more people come up, [00:06:00] goblin and then aar. Yeah. Hi there. Hello. I'm Goblin.

Bearsnake: Yeah. Hi. Hi. Uh, I think I found the re art place. I'm from Brazil. Yeah. This is my

Elf: project, you know, and I saw the wizard and goblins. Oh, it's, see, oh, that's more than just in dragons, fanatics

Bearsnake: like me, right?

Yeah. I stuff, yeah. I love fantasy theme. And

Elf: this is my, my project, my NFT

Bearsnake: project. The Golan. This project, this forgotten. Oh man. This is so

Dotta: beautiful. So beautiful. I

Elf: love me Soar. Well, thank you Mr. Goblin. We, we do have a goblin town that you, you're free to visit anytime. Um, Alistair of SICs. What's up, man?

Hey, what's up everyone? First time actually talking on a Wizard Wednesday. Usually I just listen in, but I just wanted to know more about the, uh, the babies. I, I missed,

Bloody Mary: uh, I missed it. Some

Elf: like, uh, gimme a [00:07:00] summary of, uh, what's going on. The contract that had it. Mint. Yeah. Uh, forgotten baby. Do you wanna give a, a quick, um, description?

Cult Member: The contract is fixed. The, uh, the funds that we're trying to go to, the Dow Wallet, um, meth wrote a script that manipulated how much gas was being used, which allowed it to go through. Uh, so all of the funds were saved, like $50,000 was deposited in Lower Master Dow and the Mint is back open. We kind of just stealth launched it back open.

I'm

Cult Member #2: gonna, I'm gonna mint

Elf: right now then. Yeah, MEOS, uh, saved an entire orphanage this morning. So yeah. So I want call out another awesome thing that's happened today, which is the Forgotten Market. Our very own TV, I believe is the genius behind this tv. If you want to come up and speak about the Forgotten market, don't, I think you know about it, about it.

Tv uh,

Dotta: it's so good. So like, I don't, if [00:08:00] you haven't used it right now, the URL is forgotten.market and it's just incredible. So, Here's some of the highlights. One, when you look at the wizard on the marketplace, you can highlight, like you can show the walk cycle. It's super fun. Um, I've been thinking a lot about how to do this on open C two because like, especially as we do, for example, 3D Wizards and you kind of wanna be able to show like, no, it's not just the pixel art, but it's like your representation in like all forms.

And so I love that we have kind of this way to be able to start showing these different representations of your wizards. Um, but there's other really cool stuff on here. It shows the affinity, it shows the number of traits in Affinity. It shows, um, you can select whether or not, uh, a wizard has lore or not, which by the way is a big topic of discussion for us today.

Uh, if you click on has lore and you click on a wizard in the marketplace, it'll actually load the lore on the page so you can see the lore that your wizard already [00:09:00] has. Before you decide to buy it, it's just so good. Uh, TV you're up. Why don't, I'll let you to kind of take the stage and tell us about kind of Yeah.

Your

Cult Member #2: thoughts on it. Just really excited to share it. I've been working on it for the last month or so. The main kind of, I mean, aside from like getting the fees back to the community, obviously that was, you know, there's a financial incentive for doing it, but even more than that was like, like what you're saying, to show the full context of a wizard on the page, uh, and get to see, you know, turnarounds or, I was excited to, to show the map on there too.

And then, you know, we'll have the 3D. Wizards coming up, I'm, I'm sure, you know, there could be more things over time that we will wanna show. Yeah. You know, this is just v1 I think, uh, there's a lot more that could be built out with it. There's some things that are not quite available yet with the, the protocol that it's built on.

Really excited to share it and get feedback from everyone. It's, it's open, open source so people could contribute to

Dotta: it. Can you talk a little bit [00:10:00] about like, how the offer mechanisms work with regards to like, Um, you know, it sort of reuses some of the orders from open C but then also has some of its own smart contracts.

Can you talk a little bit about that? It

Cult Member #2: aggregates all of the listings from open C so you'll see, you should see everything that's on opens C on Forgotten market. And if you buy something that was listed on Open Sea, the fees will be paid out just the same as if you were buying it on Opens sea. So it's like, you know, you're just using a different UI to do the same thing.

Uh, but if you list it on this marketplace directly, then the listing is made, uh, through Reservoir and then the fees are based on what we've set, which is same fee for the team. And then, um, uh, right now it's a 1% fee to, um, the Col Dow or whatever, or that's gonna be, yeah. And then it'll turn into a one and a half percent fee in a few months, I think.

Yeah. When if you [00:11:00] make an offer or make a listing on this site, it'll be. Totally, everything goes back to the community. Um, and then you'll also see the open sea listings here so that it's, you know, populated and you can, you can see all of that. But, um, you know, I'd love to see more listings here and, and more people using this marketplace as a way to, to get funds back to the community.

Elf: It's so awesome.

Dotta: Like the website looks so good. Opens sea is actually down right now. Um, you know, if you try to load Forgotten Ruins right now, it's like, doesn't work. But, you know, forgotten market is still up and it's just, it's so great because there was like, when we created Wizards, there was a lot of kind of intricacies that we knew right up front that we wouldn't be able to show on, uh, open Sea because there, it's so limited and so I'm just, I couldn't be happier to, to see what you've built.

It's like so clean. I, I really love it. So we'll, we'll be adding links to it, um, kind of back to from our website, um, out to this marketplace. Like we'll add it into the book of lore and all of these things, [00:12:00] and I think, ugh, it's just so

Cult Member #2: good. I wanna say thank you to a few people. Methos made some contracts to handle the, the royalty payouts.

I got a lot of help from, uh, Peter on the Reservoir team. I had so many questions as I was working on it, and he answered all of them like very quickly, like amazing. Uh, Niki, uh, Peppi, S pz bvk. Bill Gaines Young, oh, young Lizzy did the animations for, there's like the, the loading, there's like a spinning card.

Um, there's even, even some fun animations when you purchase or, or list, um, that you know, you might not have seen yet if you haven't done the. Sort of marketplace functionality and also, you know, thank you to you guys for making such a cool project that I got so into that I wanted to make something like this.

Uh, you know, I, I love the project so much that it was really just a lot of fun to get to make something like this. You know, I think anyone [00:13:00] who's been in Wizards for a while is like, oh, it would be great if we could, you know, search for a 5 0 5 affinity, or, uh, maybe you wanna see like a wizard that only doesn't have a, you know, given name or something like that.

And, um, just excited to be able to share something that lets us do that now. So,

Elf: yeah. Thank you so much. Ze Las Soul. Did you wanna say something?

Dotta: Yeah, I had a question.

Elf: Will this be used for the Endgame creative economy and

Dotta: does it list

Cult Member #2: not safe for work lore? Um, I, I can't speak to the, the game economy at all.

I have no idea myself what's going on there or, or I'm, so, I don't know. I. Would guess. Probably not. Cuz I think the in-game economy's gonna be on a different chain, so it'll be probably happening in the game is I guess, but, um, yep. And then not safe for work lore at the moment. I think, uh, it's just showing a notification that there is not safe for work.

Not safe for work, Laura, but it doesn't [00:14:00] show it on here. Um, I think I could link to the forgotten lds not Save for work site. Open to

Elf: feedback there. Yeah. I think this is a good segue into, uh, the Book of Lore survey because again, what's really one of the great features on what TV built is you can filter wizards by lore or know lore.

Um, and so this is like a very core question that our team has been discussing a lot. I know that the cult has been discussing a lot on Twitter and in Discord. So yeah, so we put a survey out, I guess it's been about three weeks now. Um, so yeah, I wanna present our findings with that. Uh, we had about 322 full submissions.

Um, I believe the, this, the, uh, survey is still up if you want to, if you want to do it. Um, but yeah, the, uh, the average time we discovered was about 30 minutes. So, you know, I'm really impressed that 322 people took like [00:15:00] 30 minutes out of their day to do this. Um, I know that I don't have 30 minutes free in a day.

Um, so, so first of all, thank you for that. And then I wanted to share one interesting question. Uh, with you guys that we learned, uh, this was the most interesting question to me at least, which was, uh, the question is, we want to know your primary motivation for creating lore. And then we said, please rank these options from most important to least important.

And there's, there's, uh, there's eight options. And so I just wanna, I wanna tell you how that ranking, uh, panned out. The number one reason for creating lore is it's just fun. And I enjoy the act of creation. That's the number one reason, which I think is the perfect reason. The number two reason was I love the idea of the collaborative, legendary, and I want to help build this world.

I think that's the perfect number two reason. That's what I would've chosen. Number three was, uh, it makes me feel part [00:16:00] of the community. Um, and I think that's a great reason. Um, Doda, can you mute your mic when you type? Oh man, I thought I had an

Dotta: opposite, so I just shared the results in, uh, discord, but I

Elf: thought, oh, great, great.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Awesome. Um, number four is I might get airdrops. Fair enough. You guys are being truthful. Um, number five is I hope to see my creations in larger media expressions like TV or comics. I think that's great. I think that's one of like the core, uh, value props that we are trying to offer. Number six is it lasts forever on chain.

Number seven is I want to share with my friends, and number eight is, I believe creating Laura will increase the value of my wizard. The fact that that's the last option really shows me that that lo not floor ethos is strong. Um, that's amazing. So, yeah, so we, I, you know, I think we really learned a lot from this entire survey.

One of the biggest questions we were trying to answer is, [00:17:00] uh, is about, like, is about archiving or deleting lore. Um, you know, when a wizard changes hands should, what, what kind of control does the new owner have over past lore? These are one of the, this is one of the core questions we were trying to answer.

To sum it all up, I think that we've decided that an archive feature is definitely something we should implement. If you buy a wizard and it's got lore attached to it, if you want to archive that lore, meaning you won't be able to delete it or destroy it, but you will sort of be able to hide it from your, from the lore entry.

Um, that's what we wanna do. Dodi, do you wanna speak about the archive feature?

Dotta: Yeah, I, so this has been a huge topic between, um, you know, all of us, particularly elfa myself, like I, you know, we really have got into it deeply with these, with each other, which is something like, You know, does lore devalue a wizard?

Right? Um, you know, we've, we, you kind of can kind of play [00:18:00] the clock forward and be like, Hey, within a year or two, every single wizard might have lore attached to it. Does that like ruin the wizard? Like some people love having, um, a wizard that has no lore, like they want a clean slate. Are we shooting ourselves in the foot or painting ourselves into a corner by, by not letting lore be deletable, because like, what if you sort of have, you know, some, uh, genius come along and they want to have a fresh wizard and they can't find any, it's not even that they'll just say like, you know, oh, well I'll just start with a wizard with lore that I don't like and work on it.

They might say, you know, whoa, I don't wanna start with wizards. I just wanna start with a completely fresh thing. You know, there's definitely a, an aspect of where folks want to be able to start with a clean slate. And so one of the questions we were even asking is like, oh, did we make a mistake? Did we make a mistake making lore, undeletable?

Uh, you know, should we, you know, even, even everything was on the table, right? We're saying like, should we even create like a new book of lore, archive [00:19:00] the current book, and just like, be like, that was the old book. This new book has like deleting in it. And, um, you know, we talked about it, but I have to tell you that I have like a very, um, strong reaction against that.

I think we, none of us did, none of us wanted to really delete lore. Uh, I don't think that was really seriously considered, but it was something we talked about. Yeah. But I for sure had like a, a very negative reaction to that. I mean, because I think one of the things that we found is this kind of like, um, trade off around, um, like preservation and creation, right?

That like, uh, for me, a big part of the book of lore is this idea. Of, um, of, of lasting forever, of never being forgotten, really. You know, um, I, I compare it to this idea, like, you can look at this like, you know, there's like 3000 year old Egyptian carvings, right? Where there's like a couple standing together and their faces are like, scratched out because the people who came after them wanted them to be forgotten in [00:20:00] the afterlife.

And I think for me, personally, a big part of the book of lore is that it, you know, it doesn't allow our faces to be scratched out. You know, I think that, like you might, you know, we, we wonder like, Should a future owner be burdened by stories they don't vibe with? Right? Permanence is a super heavy burden to bear.

Um, and maybe we're making like too much friction by making lore undeletable. You know, maybe we, the cult would be more prolific if writing lore was as easy as writing a tweet. Um, and, and it's almost this like the permanence problem is almost like the Midas problem, right? Where like, you, everything you touch sort of turns to stone and maybe it's gold, but like, if you sort of like hug your children and turn them to, to gold, like what, what value is that to you?

You know? But I also think that like in the permanence is a sort of protection. Um, I think it's like a protection from being forgotten, right? Um, you know, if, if Laura could be deleted by a future owner, [00:21:00] um, You might say like, well, I'll never sell, so no future owner can ever delete my lore. But like everyone, you'll eventually die, right?

Like a new custodian will be appointed in your death. And so I think that like deletable lore sort of would mean that you're destined to have your lore compete in this like, eternal competition for ideas. You know, the finite now is always gonna be overwhelmed by an infinite future. Um, and so the idea with undeletable lore is that your story can't be forgotten, right?

The wizards won't be forgotten again. Like the permanent, the burden of permanence is heavy, but so be it. Like the book of lore is in tweet. I think, you know, I think that there's always gonna be friction when you're carving in marble. Um, but that doesn't mean it's like not worth doing. And so I think, yeah, the permanence aspect is, uh, really important for me.

Um, and I think that you, you have this trade off in a lot of systems, which is like, okay, you have permanence, which causes stagnation and you also need to have room for, um, Creation, which is also a form of like [00:22:00] destruction, right? You can think of this as like the yin and yang of like order and preservation gives you like structure and protection, but like creation helps order become unstuck and become interesting again and become new life and become fresh.

And so we think by like having this archive feature, then that sort of gives, um, it gives a balance between order and chaos that you can have, um, an eternal preservation of your lore into eternity, but you also have an opportunity to create something fresh every time you acquire a new wizard. So yeah, that's

Elf: how we're thinking about it.

Well, yeah, I mean, donor and I have been debating this for weeks. I had a slightly different take, which was just, yeah, like Doda you talked about like, um, this eternal battle of the market of ideas or the market of just compelling content. You know, in all of human history, the reason stories survive is because humans have selected them.

There's like a Darwinian mechanism. Like the [00:23:00] reason like Beowulf is still alive today isn't because some technology forced it to survive. It's because the story was just compelling enough to stick in our, our culture, in our psych stick, speak to our psychology, speak to who we are as humans. Like, that story is ancient and it's still alive today because humans have wanted it to be alive.

Um, whereas other stories have been totally forgotten. And I'm guessing maybe it's just because they weren't that compelling, you know? I'm sure there's other like reasons, like, you know, reasons of things like colonialism and, and like, hi, hi. History is written by the winners. You know, there's, there's, there's other forces that select.

Cultures and stories to survive. But, um, you know, I just thought that the book of lore should sort of more mirror that, that natural process that humanity has always engaged in. I didn't want like a cold, impartial [00:24:00] technology to decide what stays and what goes. I wanted it to be the same as it's always been, which is humans decide what stays and what goes.

Um, b but, but I mean, I, you know, I thi I think the archive feature is like the, is the best middle ground between this, which, you know, it serves both needs, you know, because, because I agree like history is very important and, you know, why not leverage that, that ability of the blockchain to keep something, no matter whether people want it to stay or not.

Like that's, that's really fascinating. And if the Book of Lore can do that, then let's, let's let it do that and see what happens. Um, So, you know, I don't know. I, I always use the, the, the, the new house analogy, which is like, if you buy a new house from a famous person, you don't want to keep their furniture, you don't wanna keep their wallpaper.

You wanna totally customize it yourself, but you also don't want that history to be forgotten of, like, who owned it. So, you know, it's, it's just sort of like, what do you view these [00:25:00] wizards as? Do you view, do you view them as like a precious relic or do you view them as like a piece of clay that can be forever shaped and molded?

Um, you know, I, I don't know. But anyway, the, I think the archive feature's gonna be great and it, you know, it'll take us a while to implement it, but I think we're definitely gonna do that.

Bearsnake: Yep. Just to throw in my 2 cents, I'm so happy with how the results, uh, and the thoughts of the community, just to underline what you guys are saying, I think this is like such a clean solution that, um, It, it memorializes what's important about the project while also giving some flexibility and optionality to everybody who owns a wizard at any given moment.

So I think it, I think it's, I think it's gonna, I think it works for everybody. I'm excited.

Elf: Ze. So did you wanna say something? Yeah, I was wondering if some stories are compelling enough whether, if they were archived, if we have the ability to univ them

Dotta: and continue that story. Yes. Yeah. In fact, the [00:26:00] archiving is gonna be, um, completely on kind of the front end.

Um, so you can even think of like how we have, let's say for example, the, not say for work, um, uh, settings now as a form of like, it's not archiving, but it's a similar thing, which is like, you know, maybe we don't show. Those on forgotten rooms.com right now, but they're still like, they still exist and are available for like someone else to surface.

And so, um, you know, how, what is the like control mechanism for archived lore? That's something we can kind of talk about as a community. Um, is there some sort of gating or not? Um, I think that's TB d but I think, um, the plan is that like if for example, you know, I own a wizard, uh, that I got from someone else, I don't like the lore and I archive it and then I sell the wizard to you Zay, and then you do like that lore from, you know, two owners ago, you will be [00:27:00] able to archive or univ like all of the previous lore.

And the idea is that you're able to sort of like present your wizard in kind of the like most public facing book, um, in a way that you wish while at the same time, you know, preserving, uh, history. No matter what, you know, and it's now without its flaws, right? I mean, I think some people are gonna do garbage lore, but I think, um, I don't know.

History is now without its flaws. And I think that the, the benefits outweigh the costs that, because I think in most cases, um, you'll have good lore that will be saved.

Elf: Yep. Um, awesome. So yeah, if you guys, you know, and we, this archive thing, it's something that our team wanted to do, but also just the results, the results of the survey also suggested that the majority of you are in favor of an archive feature.

So anyway, thank you for, for, for participating in that. [00:28:00] Um, let me pivot really quick. I wanna, I still wanna leave some room for, for Lochness to tell us about her experience in eth ETH Denver. Um, but I want to mention one other quick thing that we're gonna pull the community on. Um, and actually, I don't know if it's gonna be a poll.

I don't, I don't know what form this is gonna take yet, but it, it's regarding the, the Honoraries for the Warriors collection. Um, and so first of all, you know, we've been seeing a lot of chatter on Twitter about people nominating, uh, cult members to receive an honorary. And I love that. Um, I think that's an excellent way to go.

Um, Because nobody knows the cult better than the cult. Nobody knows who's more deserving of an honorary than the cult. You know, I don't want us to choose, you know, we were thinking about doing a contest and maybe we'll still do that. But I also think this, this system of everybody putting up some nominations is excellent.

Um, so we will, [00:29:00] we're, we're still trying to devise the exact form that this, uh, honorary or this nomination thing will occur. Um, in, if you guys have suggestions, please DM me. I thought about doing a Twitter bracket, but there, there's something kind of bloodsport. Ish about that, that I don't like. So I don't think we'll do a Twitter bracket.

Um, yeah, I

Dotta: think there's interesting ways to do it with like, snapshot. Snapshot for example. So Snapshot, we could actually do something that's like an on chain voting of like wizard holders, and so then that's like auditable and I don't know, you know, do we have to do voting? I think that seems the most democratic, but Yep.

I, yeah, I love this idea of like doing honoraries for the cult. I'm so excited. Uh, warriors. It's gonna be so

Elf: fun. Yeah, it, it's, it's great, you know, and I'm thinking maybe we'll do like, I don't know, 10 ish more or less honoraries for cult members. I mean, I, I, I think every cult member's gonna get a free warrior anyway.

Um, [00:30:00] but if you get an honorary, of course that's gonna be like a custom one that you can, like, tell me what kind of warrior you want and I'll draw it. Um, so, so yeah, we will be coming up with that soon-ish. Um, cuz yeah, the, the customs for the cult members are, are the most important. You know, we talked about, um, uh, a few weeks ago a really spicy topic about making one for Paris Hilton.

We're not gonna do that. Um, but, but Bear Snake has, he's been making some awesome moves. Um, as far as like others we might wanna do this with, and obviously I'm not gonna ask him to reveal who this is, but, uh, um, benic, do you wanna like, give us any updates on what you've been up to?

Bearsnake: Um, gosh. Well, yeah, there's definitely some really interesting conversations, uh, that don't involve Paris Hilton, um, and that feel [00:31:00] really aligned and, uh, sort of, I guess on brand is the way to say it.

Uh, and so, yeah, I think I, I think, you know, spending my, my, a lot of my time, well, not a lot of my time, some of my time, uh, finding those really sort of special people who we think, uh, you all would be sort of over the moon about. Um, and so, yeah, I can't like talk, talk a, uh, in a ton of detail, but just know that like there's, there's wizards out there.

Uh, that aren't a part of our cult that, uh, will probably be in, be, become a part of our cult. So, you know, stay tuned on that stuff. Um, and it's, yeah, it's like, it's, it's really exciting. I just, I, you know, this, this kind of stuff, engaging with celebrities or actors or what have you, is, you know, a, a bit of its own, um, thing.

And it's like it can get [00:32:00] complicated and, and we want to make sure that people get in, the people that we approach. Uh, even if they like, make sense to be a part of the cult, that they want to do it for the right reasons. There are people that would wanna come on Wizard Wednesday. They're people that, you know, would be honored to switch their p fp to, um, to a wizard.

And so, uh, so yeah, spending some time doing that. And then, um, I think LV wanted me to talk a little, maybe a little bit about, uh, uh,

Dotta: the show. Um, yeah.

Bearsnake: So, you know, I think, I think this, the idea of, of a Forgotten Ruins TV show, um, is, is sort of one of like the keystone to. Um, you know, our, I'm having such a hard time talking today.

There wa it's like a TV show is like one of the keystone to where I think it establishes the, the project in a way that elevates us and [00:33:00] gets us out there, um, spreading the word, uh, about, about the world and the universe. And so, um, I, I, I've been talking and working with one of, um, the biggest, maybe even the biggest, um, talent agency agencies in the world, um, to help find a showrunner to, um, sort of lead the charge on the show front and the people.

I don't, I don't know if we've talked about this before in other Wizard Wednesdays, but a showrunner essentially, Is, uh, the guy or gal who, um, sort of leads the writer's rooms, helps, um, sort of build out the world, um, and lead scripts and, and make sure that there's a quality control over all of it, and obviously will be heavily involved in the show and making sure that it represents what we wanted to represent.

But the showrunner is like a key piece to getting a show made. So when you walk into Netflix or Amazon or Hulu or Peacock or wherever, um, you know, you walk in [00:34:00] with someone who has experience running shows, they, you know, these shows cost tens of millions of dollars and. When someone invests in them, they want to make sure that the investment is as de-risked as possible and has the best chance of success.

And so these showrunners really represent the tip of that spear. You walk in with an experienced showrunner who's either created their own shows in the past or run other shows, um, over season, over season that gives, um, the buyer these, you know, these distribution platforms, um, confidence that the show's gonna actually be good.

And so spending a lot of time doing that, there's a lot of really interesting names, um, being circled. I think one of the, one of the interesting things that, that we, that we have to do is in a lot of ways, like we, you know, the showrunner has to be interested in, in the kind of show that we're making. Um, but we also have to like, interview them and make sure that they're cut from the same cloth.

They believe, um, what we believe. And, um, you know, we want the show. We were actually [00:35:00] talking earlier about sort of the tone of the show and we really want it to be an uplifting. Yeah, there's gonna be action and Dr and drama and all these things, but we, like the underlying sort of thesis is like, it's an uplifting show, you know, and magic is a special thing, and wizards, um, are here to hold the line and make sure humanity is headed in the right direction.

And so we have to find a showrunner that, that, um, understands that and believes that. And

Elf: so, so yeah. Yeah. Oh, go ahead. Yeah. So thematically, you know, it's gonna follow a lot of the ethos that already defines the cult. You know, it's about putting your mark on the world, putting your ruin on the door. Um, you know, I, I I will say a lot of like the theme, you're, you're gonna see pretty much the entire story in this tit mouse thing that we're releasing soon.

Um, so, you know, it's, it's, yeah, it's just a lot of themes that we're already dealing with. Um, And sorry, Dota, you wanna, do you wanna [00:36:00] speak?

Dotta: Yeah, so I think that like, you know, when we set out, when this project over the summer, there's like a lot of different things we want to do, right? There's like on chain games, there's like little collections, there's ponies burning, there's like all the, like there's, there's more tokens that we want to do.

But for me, my sites were really set on two like really major initiatives. One is get a video game created of forgotten rooms, and the other was create a TV show. These are like the dreams of what we were trying to do. The game is like well underway and that is like happening. And so I think right now, for me, assuming that that's like still going, which it is, because now we have Bionic and they're working on it now my attention is really just like aiming for a show.

Like, I want us to have a show that you can just like sit down and like pull it up on your TV and it looks amazing. And so, um, I think I'm, I, I'm so excited for this like process. Bear, do you wanna talk a little bit, you know, I feel like I'm learning a lot about how this process works, [00:37:00] and you alluded to it a little bit what you're saying, like, well, right now what I'm doing is I'm looking for a showrunner.

I'm working with this agency who represents showrunners and writers. They're introducing me to people. We're gonna meet with them, we're gonna interview them, we're gonna, you know, hopefully pay them, hire them. Um, can you talk about a little bit of like the dream scenario where we actually do get a TV show that shows on Netflix or Hulu or whatever.

Can you walk me through that timeline, like what that process looks like? So, you know, next month we get find a showrunner, they work with us. Now what happens?

Bearsnake: Gotcha. Um, totally. So we find a showrunner that we believe has, has the ability to write and, and sort of season the show totally the way we do. Um, we put together a pitch, a pitch basically.

And so there's two parts to a pitch. There's like the physical pages. So you, you know, it's almost like imagine a presentation that sort of walks through what the show is. Well, it starts with like what the world is, and then it goes into like the, the themes of [00:38:00] the show, uh, potential sort of standout characters that will follow.

That will be our way into the story. Um, and then sort of, you know, Mock episode ideas. Um, and so this is where you get into, and, and so this takes about two months, uh, and we would be meeting with a showrunner on a, probably on a daily basis. Um, and, um, you, you create the arc of, of the show. And so you talk about individual episodes, and then you have like overarching themes and stories that play out over seasons.

And so we'll probably, you know, uh, break out like what the pilot would be in paragraph form, not in script form. And so we work on that and luckily we we're partners with Tit Mouse. So then there'll be amazing art as a part of that pitch deck. Um, and, and we have the, we have this trailer, which really just, it really as, as my daughter would say it slaps, um, which I don't know where that term came from.[00:39:00]

Uh, so after those two months, We, um, then go out and we meet with every single buyer. And so when I say buyer, that means like Netflix, which we actually. Uh, contractually have to go to first because Tip Mouse has a first look deal, which means that any idea, any original idea that they have, they have to bring to Netflix first, which is fine by us.

Um, I remember when Chris, we were meeting with Chris who runs and started Tip Mouse was like, Hey, I really wanna do this. Is it okay that we have a first look deal with Netflix? And we were all like, yes, that's totally fine that we have to go to Netflix first. I, I, I, I, I love that platform and they have a lot of great shows, and I think we make sense there.

But basically within like a week or two week span, you go and you sit, we go in with the showrunner, um, and we pitch the show to all of these places. We go through that document, we play the trailer, and the, the best case [00:40:00] scenario is more than one. Um, More than one platform wants to buy it. And then we find, we figure out what the best deal is and then, and then we go with where we think it's gonna have the best chance of success.

Um, and, and that actually is, that's a big, that's a big part of it. Uh, I think when you go and sell a show to someone, cause I, I actually don't think we'll have a problem selling it. There's plenty of buyers out there. Um, I think it's about finding the buyer, um, that actually believes in your show. And I've spent a ton of time doing this in past lives and, you know, a lot of times people will buy something and they'll buy it for the wrong reasons and they don't really believe in it.

And you have to find the companies that have, um, that have, uh, champions within them to help shepherd you, uh, through and navigate. All of the, like, the minefield that is like creating a, a successful television show. So, [00:41:00] you know, just like, we'll interview showrunners. I mean, I like the way I think about it is we'll go in and pitch the show, but the way I think about it is we'll go and say, Hey, this is the show.

We'll give 'em the pitch. And, and it's almost like if you don't want it, that's totally fine cause we'll go next door and, and sell it to, you know, your competition. That's how much sort of confidence I have and one little, so, okay, so I'll finish the timeline. Um, so. You pitch it within two weeks, hopefully someone buys it and then you do it, then you close the deal and then you start going into production.

And that's when the writer, the showrunner, hires a team of writers to help develop all the scripts. So this is where like you hear about the, like writers' rooms, writers sitting in a room and sort of throwing ideas against, against the wall, and, and they go off and write scripts. Um, a season, typically, I think we're probably looking at eight to 10 episodes per season.

Um, and then you start animation [00:42:00] production and you know, I'd say like 12 to 18 months after that, the show typically will go live and then we'll, you know, we'll start releasing episodes. It's really exciting. And the last thing I'll say is, you know, sitting with the agency this morning and showed them a rough cut of the trailer and they didn't even, I don't even know how they didn't know, but they didn't know we were even making a trailer.

Um, and they saw it and they go, oh, well this is like, we can sell this. This is a show. And I was like, yeah, that's why, that's why we're

Dotta: doing this.

Bearsnake: So it was really, you know, it, it was really, uh, encouraging, um, for like the biggest Hollywood agency that, to see what we've made and to like, sort of, uh, dawn it and, and, and really like, understand and, and have confidence.

So anyway, that's, that's, that's the spiel.

Elf: The, the trailer is, is pretty much done. All the visuals are done. It's fully colored, fully animated. It's in sound now. So, yeah. And it, it's [00:43:00] blowing people's minds because it's mind blowing. Um, so yeah, I can't wait to show you guys the trailer. I, I have a million things to say about it, but we're running outta time.

And I wanna leave, I wanna leave room for at least three more things real quick. Uh, Doda, do you wanna say something about the list?

Dotta: Yep. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Well, and just wrapping up on the trailer, like, and the show, you know, one of the parts that comes into it is like some degree of like magic machine funding, some part of it, and then showing the trailer.

I think our plan for that is to show it like just a few days before. Um, warriors because like kind of everyone here sort of is already on board with getting warriors, but like what we're doing is sort of, I don't know, I wouldn't say saving it, but like just releasing it right around the time that we do Warriors because we ex like there, I don't mean to play it up too much, but you really haven't seen anything like this in the N F T space.

It's like AAA style, uh, anime trailer, handcrafted by Elf, and it's [00:44:00] just, it's as good as any show. The animation that you would see. It's so good.

Elf: No, I'll dare saving faces will melt.

Bearsnake: That was the goal, by the way, remember? Yeah. We said we want faces to melt in

Elf: this spaces.

Dotta: Yeah. And so it's not so much that we're trying to withhold it from this group.

I think if there was a way that we could show it to this group and then. Not show it to anyone else, we probably would, but at the same time, we don't wanna get, you know, we wanna get the most bang for our bucks. So we're going to release it just a couple of days before Warriors. So you'll just have to hang tight on that.

But know that the idea is that it blows up Warriors to create this war chest to be able to fund this show. Again, everything in my mind is like, make a show. And if we have the money from Warriors, then we get like a much better seat at the table. And I'm just like, I just, I'm just so excited. So, okay, so that's the show.

Um, the other thing I wanna talk about is the, um, uh, uh, mint lists allow lists. So one of the things that's happening is we, uh, magic Machine myself, elfa, all of us. We're [00:45:00] getting offers from projects to, um, to, to give wizards, allow lists. And you know, sometimes it's tubby cats and sometimes it's like total scams and it's really hard for us to tell.

I mean, Tubby cats was easy, but like, um, you know, in a lot of cases it's like ambiguous and it's just too much for us to handle. So I asked for volunteers today in the Alpha Channel, um, and Dr. Slurp graciously agreed to lead the charge in sort of, um, kind of community screening and vetting of allow lists in mid list.

So yeah, if you're not part of the Alpha Channel, by the way, it's for verified wizards only, and it's really like I keep up with it. It's above average, good for a lot of the alpha channels that I'm part of. And, um, yeah, so Dr. Slurp and a few other people volunteered to help filter those mint lists. I think one of the things I want to be really upfront about is like, I feel like when I share like, Hey guys, we got a mint list.

You know, that feels like an endorsement. Yeah. And then like a lot of times I don't have the time to really endorse it or to vet or [00:46:00] to like understand it and so Exactly. I hope that, yeah. But I don't wanna miss out on Value for Wizards. So I just hope that kind of, um, this'll be a good solution where people can vet and then you just, you know, it's always buyer beware.

Right. And I think people get that, but um, at the same time I think it's a good solution. So, yeah. So thanks to Dr. Slrp for that and send him, he is now our, uh, community manager for Allow

Elf: lists. Yep. You know, it's so funny, I feel like the Wizard Wednesday needs to be a two hour show. It's cause like I, we always feel like we're running outta time, so it's Okay.

We'll go along. Um, because I want to give Lochness enough time to tell us about probably the most exciting thing that happened last week, which was ETH Denver. I know that a lot of you were there. You met Lochness. Um, so lochness, but yeah, just tell us all about it.

Lachness: Yeah, so Denver was [00:47:00] such an experience. I stayed in what I believe is the Rhino District, which is more like the artsy sort of area, and, uh, decided to kind of explore like all the art that's in the area and came across our poster team in action, putting up wizard posters, which was so sick.

Uh, a few of whom may be here. Uh, uh, I know for a fact that they're in the Discord and so it's just awesome to see how enthusiastic people are and shout out to bear for organizing a lot of our promo and E Eve Denver, but, Uh, everywhere I turned there was a wizard poster. Like no matter what part of the city we were in, there was a wizard poster.

And I just love that it wasn't just concentrated in like, kind of like the Sports Castle, downtown Denver area and was in other areas of, uh, [00:48:00] the Denver City. Just because, you know, once you leave that space, you kind of take a break from like N F T Brain and Crypto Brain, and then you're just like walking or having dinner somewhere and you're like, wait, that, is that a wizard poster?

So that's real. That was really fun. And then I also. I wanna thank every single wizard that came out to dinner. We had dinner at the Klein house, which was very on brand for us. They set us up in a room that had a really nice fireplace. Uh, we got tons of food and shout out to bit vagan for the wine that was sent and Zay for setting that up.

And also huge shout out to bam bam for being my co-organizer with that. Uh, her and I worked very closely on getting like everything set up, including the menu and the jelly donuts, which was really fun. One of the things that really stuck with me, that I absolutely love and to be [00:49:00] quite honest, was nervous about meeting people i r L uh, cause it's sort of like a docs, right?

But it felt like discord, i r l. It felt like everything we talk about on the internet was real. And it also. It also just like, I feel like it made us closer guys. I feel like it was like our first date. I love it. Um, uh, a huge, huge thing that I wanna mention is that the conversations that were had, we got super into our lore.

The lore of our wizards, sharing the characteristics of our wizards. I also loved learning about people's perception of our execution and just the compliments that the team received in terms of, you know, building this community, supporting you guys, and, uh, creating space for folks both digital and I r l.

[00:50:00] I really wanna thank you guys for showing up and showing up authentically and as your selves, as your wizards. I think it's safe to say like, all of us wizards left our room on the door of Denver and made our mark. Uh, another thing that happened was also the Maow Wolf visit. Shout out to Zay and his family.

By the way, I'm obsessed with your baby. Um, speaking of forgotten babies, uh, her and I kind of bonded, which was really nice. We explored Maow Wolf, which you know, is sort of a psychedelic museum and you just open up, you know, you choose a portal. And then I just, so much inspiration for I R L Wizard stuff.

It's not even funny. As a matter of fact, I did Spot Elf. Uh, In statue form. Uh, but yeah, and also, you know, just walking around after dinner, [00:51:00] meeting up with everybody of different projects and just getting to know like the space overall was just really a great joy and I really enjoyed my time there and I'm very excited for all the future ir relevance we'll be hosting.

Elf: I, you, you mentioned that when we talked about this yesterday, you put this awesome image in my head of all the wizards sitting around the fireplace discussing lore. I, I just love that.

Lachness: Yeah. It was, it was legit, like Laura, around the fireplace. We, we totally did not follow the guidelines that they had in terms of seating, just because it was a little tight.

So we just grabbed our chairs and like created sort of this like little circle and, uh, it was great.

Elf: No, I mean, that's, that's, that's ancient. That's timeless. Sitting around the fire talking, Lord. It's, it's perfect. Yeah. And, and, um, and luck. I just, uh, yeah, I, I, yeah. We want, we wanted to just thank Locke for doing that.

Um, I saw the group photo that you guys took and, and I just gotta say what a [00:52:00] good looking bunch of wizards. Yeah. So.

Yeah.

Bearsnake: Can I just say one thing also, just in terms of I r L events, um, we are, um, going to be an N F T N YC in June. I think it's like June 20th to 23rd. Yes. Um, and we're gonna be, we're gonna try to sort of outdo ourselves, um, from East Denver.

Um, we, there may be, uh, a wizard popup restaurant. Um, that's what we're working on right now. Um, and it's also where we'll be launching our comic book, uh, with a really fun partner also. So, um, you know, if you guys, uh, have a calendar, I would, I would mark that because, um, I think, uh, a lot of us are gonna be, uh, in the conference over there doing some fun stuff.

Dotta: Yep. Yeah, and just before we transitioned into to lore, just to recap, so, um, we've got the comic book coming out for NFT NYC and a couple other, uh, [00:53:00] events. We're full steam ahead with Bionic on the Universe game. We're also, I've been, uh, El has been meeting with their pixel artists. I've been meeting with their devs to work on the, uh, land sale, uh, the exact dates, TB d uh, we are working together, uh, to create 3D wizards.

So, uh, all 10,000 of the Wizards we're converting to 3d. Um, in the same way that we have the Sprite sheets. It's not like a dilutive new token, it's just like built into the digital object of your wizard. Um, we continuing to be work on the Warriors, um, and we've got, you know, a couple other surprises in the bag.

So we are. A bunch of busy wizzies.

Elf: Yeah. Who, whoever's reading lore today, um, just like invite yourself up. I, I can't remember who it is. Um, but I just wanna quickly add on to a few other little updates. We, uh, we uploaded our latest YouTube video. Oh yeah. It's so fun. It's so good. So Molly animated, [00:54:00] uh, the story of Battle made Cromwell from Young Wizzy, um, narrated by Hit Crew.

Andy. Um, gosh, you know what? There's actually one huge thing that I wanted to say today. You know what? We're gonna go a little bit late, um, while we wait for the lower person to come up. Um, this, this is pretty important. So yeah. Our, our YouTube channel is, is, is really, you know, we we're, we're starting to really grow it and develop it, and we wanna put a lot into it.

Um, so yeah, so we, we've got two lower videos up now. Um, that Molly's animated. You should check out the latest. Um, we updated all the thumbnails. Um, the YouTube channel is also where the, uh, the animated piece with Tip Mouse is going to appear. Um, and so, so yeah. So we really wanna just really boost our channel.

And one thing we wanna do is we want our Wizard Wednesday videos to be much more, uh, visually appealing, I suppose. Um, and we want to hire a video editor to help us do [00:55:00] this. And I think this position to should go to somebody in the cult. Um, so this is, this is me putting out a job offer. Um, basically we need some, we need a video editor.

Who is gonna be able to edit one video per week, the the Wizard Wednesday videos. Um, they need to be able, so what this is gonna evolve is they need to be able to listen to the entire video and add visuals where you think it's necessary. Now, obviously you don't have to put a visual for the entire hour, like you can use imagery that, um, loops and animates.

Um, but like, you know, you're, you're gonna need to, like, like if we shout out cult content, I want that piece of artwork to show in the video. And I wanna, I want the credits to appear on it. Um, or, you know, also we need someone, we need someone who's in the cult because they're gonna understand all the inside jokes.

So, like, if we say something about a jelly donut, you know, a cult member's gonna understand what that is and they're gonna be able to like show the appropriate [00:56:00] imagery for the jelly donut. You know, if we hire somebody outside, they're, they're not gonna get all these inside jokes. Um, So, so yeah. Um, if any of you, uh, want to be our official Wizard Wednesday video editor just DM me.

Um, again, it's one video per week, um, so you're gonna need to be creative. You're gonna need to have the technical proficiency to make the video conformed to all the YouTube technical demands. Uh, but yes, this is a paid position. Um, it would be great if when you DM me, you can have some kind of portfolio online to show me, or at least some videos that you've done.

Um, so yeah, that's, that's that. And, uh, yeah, hopefully we get some good submissions. Um, do we have our lore person up here

Dotta: yet? I don't know who he's

Bloody Mary: reading, not the lore person, but I just wanted to quickly not interrupt too, log that. Sure. Uh, wanna give a shout out. I'm out here with Shaman Voth of the Keep and the Purple Yoga [00:57:00] Collector.

Uh, we were all at the meetup, and I just wanted to emphasize how well the meetup was and how cool it was to like, Be out there and meet everyone. And even when we, you know, were walking around East Denver, we'd run into people and they would see, you know, the wizard hoodie and be like, oh, wizards. And then Shaman

Elf: Voy of course had the car.

Yeah. So I

Bloody Mary: think we were very well represented out there, so I just wanted to give a thank you to everyone who made that. Yeah. Good job happen. And everyone we met. It was

Dotta: so cool.

Elf: But yeah, no, thank you for coming up. Yeah, I, it sounded like such a great event and, and I know a lot of you were maybe asking like, where's Elf, where's Dota?

Where's Bear Snake? Um, we're sorry we couldn't make it, but I, I el and or me and Bear Snake will at least be at, um, N Ft nyc. I don't know about Dota yet, but, uh, you'll be able to see us there. There, there was a point where I stalked your wallet, elf, and I seen there was a buffer

Dotta: corn in there and I thought just

Elf: maybe like, he's gonna fucking just surprise us.

No, not this time, [00:58:00] but, uh, in the future. Yes. Um, Cool. Uh, yeah, I guess we don't have our lore person today, um, but we can maybe double up next week. And, uh, yeah, I just, yeah, there's, there's like so many other things I wanted to get to today, but it's okay. We'll, uh, we'll wait. May or maybe we'll just do a two hour show next time.

Um, yeah. Anything else? Doda, bear Snake Lock.

Dotta: I think S PZ just offered to read lore of, um, Mary Bloody Mary's lore.

Elf: Oh, great. Yeah. Let's do it. Yeah. And, and by the way, let me, lemme give a quick shout out to s pz, um, who has been working on another, uh, bot, uh, familiar bot. Um, I, I, I love the bots in, in the Discords, so, uh, s pz welcome.

Hey, hey, hey. How you guys doing? Hey, good. Cool.

Bloody Mary: Uh, I dropped out. You, you want me to read the Bloody Mary for a sec?

Elf: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Absolutely.

Bloody Mary: Oh, cool. Okay. So, um, [00:59:00] Hope you guys aren't bored to hearing my voice by now, but, um, I wrote

Dotta: a not at all. Cool.

Bloody Mary: Um, so, uh, Blanco, our

Bearsnake: favorite sweeper, um,

Bloody Mary: approached me again to write some Lauren.

This time I was super happy to get, uh, bloody Mary. Um, the, uh, one of the cooler one ones I think of the sole collection. Um, so I was going for a bit more of a gnarly sort of, uh, repulsive style on this one than the previous ones. So it's, it's quite short, so I'm just gonna jump into it.
