Cool, this is my first time playing the Respect Game and I'm so happy to meet this community and to see what people are working on. I'm seeing some really cool stuff and I thought independently that this would be the right way in the future to do money. I don't want to get too into it right now, but let me just say I'm super excited to be in this stream of thought that you guys have over here!

Super grateful for the amazing feedback on the Respect Game from @zaal, a highly respected Optimism Fractal community member and the founder of /zao, a fractal community for musicians that’s already rocked 20+ events playing the beloved Respect Game! It feels incredible to inspire whole communities, indirectly help with their governance processes, and so much more… More to come! 🌻🎶

The respect game is a blast and I think more communities should adopt the model! Awesome to be part of op fractal again yesterday for the first time in 2-3 months! So many cool opensource tools being built

“That's a good place to meet and make your contribution and receive your reward. The Optimism Fractal Community is amazing, and I feel great about it. This is my view on Optimism Fractal: it's my weekly accountability group session that holds me responsible for what I'm producing, either for that community or for other communities. As you said earlier in the program, we have all these little connections, and we're stitching them together. I like to think of it like a patchwork quilt, where each of us is a singular patch, and we're stitching and sewing them all together. At the end of the day, we're going to produce this very beautiful, massive quilt. With that being said, we get to showcase our work, which is awesome. We get to hold each other accountable for our work, and then, as you mentioned, we're evaluated by our peer group on the quality of our work or the time we spent doing it. We get rewarded with Respect, a token which I think is another little activation in your brain, a synapse of building confidence. So yeah, that's how I like to think of Optimism Fractal. I'm there as often as I can. Sometimes I have commitments in my in-person life that prevent me from being there, but I enjoy the time I spend there very much. It's really cool what they've built, and like you said, Hats Tree - they have their own Hats protocol in there. I think I've claimed almost every single hat that I'm eligible for, so my Hats Tree is expanding.”

Head of Growth at Mode Network
What you guys are doing here, this is the most beautiful seedling portion of community building and what makes these amazing protocols and these tools and ecosystems in web3.. Really nurturing each other, sharing what you build, and then my opinion or my thoughts on this Respect Game is incredible because it creates this subtle accountability from week to week, as well as excitement because you want to grow with your peers and impress them. In web3, in this remote industry that we are in, so much of us are just on our computers and in our rooms. So much of putting your heart and soul into something is just simply being seen and simply being recognized for what you're passionate about building, and that is missing across the space. That very simple recognition gets lost in these Telegram and Discord channels. So the fact that something like this exists where builders can come together and showcase and feel appreciated and grow together is really really powerful. So I'm happy to be here. I'm very curious about the origin stories. Rosemary shared the white paper here to learn more because I would love to support this initiative, reproduce it, spread the word, all of it because I think it's just really important. So I appreciate the time you guys have put in and work and the care that you spend on this. I'm just really really happy to be here. It's been a great first session and I look forward to more that I can attend. I'm super super slammed, but this is important. You can't really ignore the roots. So anyway, thank you so much.

Builder at SourceCred and Founder of PlaceCred
It’s a really cool experience. I think that it actually was a very efficient way to share work and also allowed people to get very granular and talk about small contributions that would probably fall through the cracks in another tool because you're not going to maybe say "Oh I did this small little thing" in text or something. I thought it was cool to get some social interaction in there and get to know people at the same time. That's also efficient because you're kind of doing that in parallel and I don't think it interfered with the ranking. I thought the ranking made sense, the whole flow worked well, and yeah, psyched to see what you're building.
Feedback by Dilara was shared during the event at 1:00:39. Dilara found the respect game a relaxed way to connect and plans to share the experience with her community.

So great to be here. Just went through the respect game site, it’s cool, so apparently I joined the game yesterday in the breakout room and played without knowing 😆 So it’s sort of like a consensus game where the players come to a consensus on who the winner is 🤔 a game where the players are both the players and the umpires.

Have you heard of @OptimismFractal We have a meeting tomorrow and you can meet other awesome optimism builders there!
Optimism Code of Conduct Council Member
As a general thought, I’m personally interested in exploring mechanics where we could bootstrap project from 0–1–10 going from an idea where people contribute to a PoC or MVP where people can get onboarded in. Usually this process is un- or underfunded for acceptable reasons, but it also leaves the initiatives on the people that can incur the opportunity cost. It would be impressive if we could establish an elephant path where initiatives get rewarded respect regardless of its success, but on effort, and that respect recipients earn some retro-active rewards for efforts taken. This would reduce the opportunity cost, incentivise experimentation and accountability and simply provide more opportunities to more people. The lightweight and simple process of the respect game could very well fit that purpose. At the end of a season, some matching funds could be made available to retro-actively reward respect earners.
Founder of Ztalent Music Agency and ZAO Fractal
Love this. I have only been an active participant but can’t wait to be a contributor soon enough!
Cofounder of Advantage Blockchain and Top 100 OP Delegate

Founder of NFT Earth
Just wanted to take a moment to acknowledge some other builders in the space. Sometimes, it’s so easy to get caught up in the constant daily obstacles faced when building in an emergent technology. 🤔 I joined an event yesterday on short notice with ~9 ppl. Unsure of what to expect, I was pleasantly reminded of how many brilliant and well-intentioned people there are in web3. Cheers to @DanSingjoy, @nftgamerweb3, @RosmariDigital for putting together a community initiative for others to share their past week of work in web3! 🙏

Had a great time at today’s @optimismfractal event. Progress is being made to make the fractal event more autonomous. @dansingjoy and I worked over the weekend to set up @hatsprotocol tree for the organization and gated a CharmVerse page behind a Hat! Exciting stuff! If you’re looking for an uplifting community where you can share your positive contributions to @optimism, then this is a great place to be and you should come to next week’s meeting!
