Love Gami and this idea, but hear the community feedback. Re-group and figure out a way to get this into the world~

This is interesting and could be good success story for Nouns. The downside of a Droposal is also minimal.

The art is beautiful here, I respect that you've positioned this all as an open source public good, have more games planned, and covered the development and public audit costs yourselves.

Personally I'm interested in seeing you explore on-chain mechanics that are a bit more creative, and if you're looking to launch the collection from the Nouns I think you will have more success if you return a percentage of the ETH back to the DAO.

I think this is a really fun idea and it seems like it is being executed really well. (Though I wish it was less of an after-mint raffle and more of a "one of these in the real one" up front.) But I am not sure this should be a droposal from the DAO. Droposals are a new pattern that we're still figuring out, but my feeling is they should mainly be used for ratifying/approving of works that were funded by the DAO. They also generally involve revenue back to the DAO, which does not seem to be the case here. So for these reasons, I am voting against. Wish the team all the best, nonetheless!

things i appreciate:

• gami's constant persuit to do things while almost always proliferating nouns
• deployed as a public good

but, the lottery-like system feels a bit too not-nounish for me.

If one of the DAO's main objectives is to spread the Nouns meme, Forgeries accomplishes this effectively. It's well-crafted, incorporates Noun-like attributes, and utilizes a Noun as the central prize.

The lack of a funding request makes it even more appealing. It's heartening to see projects that aren't driven solely by financial gain but instead prioritize building alongside the DAO. Droposals are one of my favorite things about Nouns and we should be embracing them.

By supporting this project, we not only help grow Nouns, we also encourage a culture of creativity.

Two concerns here:

• Not clear where the funding from the droposal is going to (my assumption is it is going 100% to the forgeries team, but that is not specified here). If that's the case, I don't see a clear value flow back to Nouns here, implicitly or explicitly - other than just the artwork being a Noun.

• The mechanic, while conceptually interesting, does unfortunately feel a bit like selling lottery tickets. I don't personally think that's aligned with our values/something we should endorse via droposal.

This very Nounish team has big plans for composable gaming in the Nouns ecosystem and I believe in them. Forgeries is so well done balancing fun and absurdity while proving an on-ramp for new people to learn about Nouns, with gaming contracts available for anyone else to use.

I love gami's ideas/energy in general but this one I struggle to think the dao should endorse through a droposal given the mechanisms involved here don't feel particularly nounish to me.

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

I think this project is clever and wish it success. But I fail to see why it should be launched via DAO proposal, especially without a share of open edition proceeds going to the treasury.

Lots of smaller gripes here that add up to something that doesnt feel nounish.

(Fwiw i appreciate gami taking a lot of shots on goal even if this one isnt doing it for me.)
