Statements
Im generally with Hindsight on this one... its a fun project, but the economics just dont make sense, and its not a good enough mode of proliferation to justify the outsized per-unit costs. I MIGHT support a proposal like this if it was tied to a very strong, unique GTM strategy that would get Nouns in front of a new audience.

Had this prop been for Nounish media in Chinese, Id be more likely to vote yes. Running social media campaigns and re-purposing existing media doesnt feel like it needs 10 ETH/mo.

No need for more NFT conference activations right now.

Honestly, I just wouldnt wear any of this and the designs (and prop overall) arent exciting enough for me to overcome personal taste.

I dont think the DAO has seen many (if any) detrimental effects from 20% max quorum. Our goal should be to increase participation, not decrease required participation, even for contentious props. I dont feel strongly about this opinion, and would be interested in seeing the effects of 15% max quorum, but if given the choice I support maintaining the status quo.

Agreed with nounalysis here... dont see how this prop justifies a $1M ask, and the distribution details just arent there to even make an argument.

Gone back and forth on this one. In general, I think games are fun and a great mechanism for proliferation. On the other hand, games are hard, bad games could be bad for the brand, and I dont really see any concrete plans for distribution here (just saying ads and influencers isnt the best imo). Im voting against this prop, but would support a smaller pilot or retroactive funding for a game using nounish branding that has already proven to be enjoyable (retro funding wouldnt be dependent on pre-existing distribution).

After the official Discord closed, the DAO shouldnt be funding any work related to various unofficial community spaces. It would defeat the purpose of not having an official Discord, which I think has been a positive development thus far.

I think this prop has a lot of potential... but also a lot of fluff. The proposer lacks Nounish reputation which, while not necessary at all to get a prop passed, is necessary in my eyes for such a large, open-ended allocation of capital. I also dont understand why this prop needs to be so large. The ideas are vague, but they are plentiful, and each one (if fleshed out) could probably be a standalone successful prop on their own. Ultimately, this is a no from me, and I encourage J.D. to return with a smaller, more detailed proposal to kick off his collaboration with Nouns.

Voting with Will Papper and Krel here. There is no reason to use official Nouns namespace on projects funded by the DAO. Slippery slope, indeed.
0 references
This is a fun and valuable project, but the amount of (financial) resources being allocated here is absurd. Archival is important, but I feel pretty strongly that a team could accomplish similar goals for a quarter of the price, without it feeling like an underpay.

Voting with Carella on this one... I prefer the Verbs method of adding more Nouns to the treasury.
0 references
Times Square billboards arent a great investment of capital for this particular initiative. Feels like were just feeding the DAOs ego.

Nouns should not be sponsoring events, we should be creating our own events. Think bigger.
0 references
This is the worst prop that has ever been proposed.
0 references
Voting NO on this prop. Nouns proliferation efforts have primarily been focused on what *we* think is cool vs. what the rest of the world thinks is cool. Id prefer we fund media with a more explicit POV and audience.
0 references
I dont think this sort of social network is valuable, certainly not more so than the constellation of tools that currently exist.
0 references
Voting no due to low expected utility and concerns raised by Nounders.
0 references
Id prefer this budget be broken down by activation rather than by role. Doing so (assuming its reasonable) would get a yes from me.
0 references
This does not need to exist. Prop House, Explorer Grants, NSFW, etc. already exist. New allocation methods should be sufficiently different.

I love this product and love this team. I use it multiple times a week. I almost think this proposal is a victim of its own success. The team has proven that they can ship significant features much faster than this roadmap indicates. To justify paying several team members what is essentially a full-time salary, I think either: 1) the proposal should be shortened, but with the same monthly pay or 2) the roadmap should be further fleshed out to fill 6 months. If one of those two changes were made (or some other change in a similar direction) this would have a yes from me.

This proposal does not demonstrate an understanding of Mr. Beasts video process. It is unlikely that $500k would be enough given the stipulations. I would support a revised proposal with more info from the Beast team.
0 references
This is uninteresting to me. I would not wear these. I think we can do better and be more ambitious as a brand.
0 references
I love Nerman, but this seems like an insanely high asking price to continue development on this project for only 6 months. I would support this proposal at a more reasonable ETH ask with a more granular breakdown of funding allocation. *sent from voter.wtf*

Running to get that t-shirt. Super reasonable ask for a very meaningful mode of proliferation.

Nounish creates the best nounish content. Droposals are fun and a revenue-generator for the DAO. A Nounish Droposal is a no-brainer.

Klim has proven himself, and this is a reasonable ask for a fun, useful project.

I was anti-Wet Wipes in the first prop, but this prop brought me around. A highly practical product that can get widespread use, and the designs are sick!

I dont see this as an endorsement of a product. Its an interesting, fun onchain action, that doesnt limit us from taking other onchain actions in the same vein. Lets do it!

The only hesitation I have here is why 40 ETH?. Why not more? Why not less? Where else is funding coming from? That said, imo the ask isnt wild. Great project, great opportunity to proliferate throughout the Ethereum ecosystem, very in-line with our values. Excited to see ethOS hit more phones in the future!

If not Nouns, then who? If crypto advocacy is not Nounish, then what is? Proposals like this allow Nouns to establish itself as a positive force in the crypto ecosystem, from both an internal and external perspective.

First off – Tigris is the GOAT. Working with her throughout Explorer Grants was a pleasure, and her work is too impressive and fun not to be excited by. Tigris is the type of creator we NEED building in the Nouns ecosystem. This prop is very Nounish –funding a proven creator with an audience of other builders to build fun, experimental hardware that can be used for IRL proliferation. Not only that, but all sales return back to the DAO which offsets the prop cost! Im excited about this proposal and hope this is just the first of many collaborations between Tigris and Nouns.

My first thought when reading this prop was what if the book isnt good? Then I read the sample chapters and said, okay, this is pretty good so far! Still, I was skeptical. Why this story? Why this author? After sitting with it for a bit, I realized none of those questions mattered. We are funding a complete book, in the public domain, telling a Nounish story, for children who might (big might) now grow up loving Nouns. Thats Nounish af. Plus, the ask is reasonable, and I appreciate the work already put into making this project great. Excited to mint this!

Had the same internal debate as Noun40, and decided the same way. Gnars is Nounish.

Fund sub-communities that have proven they do great work. Let them cook!

This is such a fun experiment. No downside in my eyes. Let them cook.

This sounds super useful and is a great public good for the ecosystem. The Poolsuite team has proven they can ship high quality product. This is a yes from me!

Heyanoun has been a fantastic experiment, and many of its flaws would be fixed by pseudonyms. Definitely think we should continue to support this team.

1 ETH is too high, but 0 is too low. Ultimately, this is a valuable proposal.

Immediately yes! IRL proliferation, fun idea, thoughtful proposal that brings the meme to new audiences, and Victor is the GOAT.

Verbs is important, possibly the most important technical team funded by the DAO. Verbs makes a lot of money. Verbs should be used as a ceiling for technical team compensation, at least in cases where there isnt a specific project being funded but more of a residency for the DAO, unless there is very specific reason why it should be increased. We should keep this benchmark in mind when funding/renewing future residencies. We love the Verbs.

I went back and forth on this one, but on balance, I dont think you can vote no given the work this team has done. Would I appreciate a smaller proposal with more checkpoints? Yes. But I dont think thats a good enough reason to reject a proposal where everything else, in my eyes, gets a big thumbs up. SubDAOs are the future of Nouns – they are the only way the DAO will thrive in the long run as more folks enter the ecosystem and the meme becomes more fractured. Gnars sets a great precedent on that front.

These are the types of programs we need to onboard excellent builders to the Nouns ecosystem (and crypto broadly).

+1 to Krel and Senecas reasons. Budget is relatively high, but I think this has an outsized impact on the ecosystem and makes proliferation through TEXT a game we can start playing.
0 references
This is a no-brainer. Reputable builder, great idea with lots of upside, and a working MVP that folks are already using, all at a reasonable price! *sent from voter.wtf*

Enormous budget on a relatively short timeline. Given my lack of understanding on the esports industry as a whole, Im unable to justify voting yes given those two observations.

Dont feel informed enough to make a good decision here, and dont have time this holiday season to meaningfully dig in.

Abstaining from this vote as I dont believe the Nouns Fork should be implemented. I appreciate and respect all of the work the team put into v3, and expect this audit prop to pass, but the fork mechanism is likely dangerous for the DAO.
