I'm an experiment in throwing weight behind zero weight votes with reason.

RE: local
The physical playground, despite being a localized investment in local facilities, but the easily overlooked fact that, without successful precedents, no one would risk replicating a playground for a completely new community brand. The physical playground conveys open-source culture, setting us apart from other commercial brands and providing a unique reason for playground replicators to adopt. All of this happens without regional restrictions.

Nouns' experimental direction should be diverse.

I am glad to be part of this great experiment, engaging in discussions with all viewpoints. Thanks again to all the prop supporters and opponents for the discussions! :-)

greatly appreciate the effort put into preparing the prop. karl and hashconfucius have been long time community members as well.

however, i'm voting against. $600k is a large spend. i have a hard time justifying a spend at that scale for something that can be only enjoyed at a single physical location. while this playground is a public good in the sense that it's free for anyone to access, unlike digital animations or software it's only really accessible to the people that live in the area. yes, there's ideas that the design files could be used by others but the vast majority of funds are going to the construction of the playground so funding this prop doesn't mean we get more playgrounds without funding the construction of those either.

also in general if we're doing something hyper local i'd prefer it to fund things that would bring actual nouns fans of that locale together and that they can enjoy. there's an idea here that there's a lot of foot traffic here and that ppl just seeing nouns visual structures is valuable but that type of low-context brand exposure type proliferation i'm increasingly less convinced moves the needle for us. i much prefer nouns trying to do something extraordinary (like the esports dota team making it to the international and playing competitively at the highest level against all odds) or a thing that ppl can build a deep love relationship with (like rise of the blues nouns movie or even the nounish three artists series type thing that not only can reach a large audience but can engender deep love fans). yes the kids that actually play in the playground might build a deep love relationship with nouns but that's a much much smaller audience than the 800k monthly foot traffic.

again deeply appreciate the effort put into the prop!

(a small side note is that i'd love if the proposers could share a propdate regarding prop 211 where we spent $220k towards activating the chinese nouns community. not directly related but given it's the same two proposers targeting the same community i was hoping to see a retrospective on that prop as a piece of additional context. however, just to be clear, the lack of that context is not why i voted against but rather the reasons outlined above)

Poll failed to meet vote threshold.

robotfishgirl | *"Karl came on Noun O'Clock and discussed the prop and made an excellent case for it. Episode #509, on 11/6- do recommend listening back as he does a better job than I could

The gist is, this playground equipment is in a VERY prominent locale, with open sourced designs they have clearly put thought and effort into, AND put in writing that they expect proliferation to other playgrounds in the area as well. Anything that puts a smile on children's faces is an easy yes for me."*

Good luck!"*

appreciate the iterations and amount of exposure it can bring

An often overlooked fact:
The playground will be constructed in a monthly footfall of 800K ppl venue which provided by element6 at no cost. This chance had save substantial venue rental expenses even exceeding the total amount allocated for the prop itself.

Once completed, it will be the world's FIRST NFT-themed playground and guarantee attract a massive influx of visitors!

More importantly, a popular playground will be a crucial factor in attracting people to follow, build, replicate, and spread these CC0 design-kit.

The biggest RISK to nouns is a fear of attempting

Let's seize this opportunity and making crypto socially positive and KEEP this experiment weird!

I love the idea of opensource design, although I see it difficult to replicate. maybe go to smaller steps with a smaller investment? (Seneca +1)

Is the playground designed to be inclusive? I think this is something to consider.

Thanks for the work on this prop.
Good luck!

I find myself judging proposals these days in large part according to how they add to the overall lore of Nouns. This crazy experiment of building a decentralized brand that spans numerous disparate verticals all over the world is part of what drew me here, and I think it’s very charismatic. I’ve always thought too that it would be cool for Nouns to fund the sort of real world public goods that governments normally would, and this is a pretty good opportunity to try. I do think the scope is maybe a little bit extra, but the designs look really great to me and I think it will make a great chapter to add to the Nouns story, while also directly benefiting the children who will use it. Success for me would be measured not only on execution of this build, but also on efforts to proliferate the concept and CC0 plans— if the proposers want help finding a place for one of these in my hometown please reach out, I would love to bring my son to one one day.

It helps my decision greatly that this prop is led by Karl and Hash, two builders who have impressed with their execution so far. Make us proud!

Re: Design kit & impact

Imo we shouldn't just consider whether the designs can or should stand alone for adoption—they can and should. The more crucial question we ask ourselves is the rate of adoption with these designs (cc0 assets) alone. How impactful will it be without a physical playground that is enjoyed by everyone to support it? Take the example of Nouns movie—considering impact versus cost, would funding only the creation of characters as cc0 assets be as impactful as funding the development of a complete Nouns movie? What would be the adoption rate for these assets if we rely on animation houses to pick them up, compared to having a fully realized Nouns movie that showcases the potential of Nounish animated characters, inherently cc0 in nature to boost adoption? The same principles apply to Nouns themed play-structures.

Beyond the build, our goal is to drive/boost adoption, encouraging other industry professionals to utilize cc0 Nouns themed play-structures, thereby sparking a Nounish playground market/network. This commitment aligns with our cc0 culture and dedication to the public good cause.

Appreciate the effort gone into the designs and the proposal. I'm probably a no here; I just feel skeptical that we're going to see a real strong impact for Nouns relative to the amount we'd be spending on the proposal. I think for IRL efforts we're better off with lean grassroots community building than high-cost structures et cetera. I like what's been mentioned earlier about making the designs potentially as a primary end product and using the architecture community as an entry point.

+1 to Seneca’s focus on the design kit. If this scales, the design kit is an excellent 80/20 solution. The designs can and should stand on their own for adoption, in keeping with much of CC0 culture. Funding the build too seems like a significant cost without as much impact beyond the single playground

Impressed by the second iteration, I believe the DAO can gain valuable experience from the first construction proposal.

It is like unlocking a technology in tech tree in Civilization game

Impressed by the second iteration of this proposal. Let's do it.

After hearing wide eyed Karl discuss this prop on TNS and in Nouncil, I think it's worth the experiment to see if cc0 playground plans could spark a nounish playground market. I think the revisions in the 2nd prop makes this more viable, especially the stream. And the 3d render really gives you a better feel for the experience.

After speaking with Karl about the proposal and addressing my concerns about splitting the proposal up into the two phases (design & build) He alleviated those by explaining that they did all the due diligence to get the land ready for building out the playground ahead of time and that just doing the design wouldn't guarantee they have the land in the future. Also, if any issues come up during development, the dao has control over the streamed payments and can end it, if progress isn't being made. I personally think that this was a very carefully thought out and well designed proposal that is worth executing on. They have done significant work ahead of any funding to get it to where it is today and thats worth consideration. Some people may not like the current designs, but the team is willing to work and get feedback to make the play structures look/feel good.

ty seneca! It should be noted that design kit isn't the only goal, the significance of a lively physical playground is to emphasizes the reliability of these open-source designs (Playability, completeness, and, most importantly, popularity.).

We wouldn't want the DAO to spend money on creating design kit that nobody use. The establishment of the physical playground is crucial as a foundation for disseminating these meaningful open-source design kits. :-)

smaller steps such as what coral suggested in the prev prop is something i'd vote FOR on. also, making the open-source design kit the goal (eg replicable playgrounds at a low cost) is an angle i'd be more excited about rather than it being a compliment.

thank you again to Karl and Nic for the efforts and good luck!

While I'm mostly in favor of Nouns funding Public Goods, I have to agree with noun12 here. I simply don't see enough long-lasting impact for the Nouns ecosystem that would justify the high investment needed here. Also wanted to see ways to activate the Playground after its completion (besides BTS footage). How do we leverage it to bring more awereness to the DAO?
