Consider creating project to describe the respect game
Hey Nuno, I’m doing well and hope you are too!
Good question, thanks for asking. I’ve been trying to answer the same question for a long time :D
The best answer that I can offer at the moment is at at the top of Optimystics.io/respectgame. It states:
The Respect Game is a profoundly helpful consensus game that provides a fun way to foster collaborations, promote public goods creators, and fairly award positive impact. This innovative consensus game coordinates decentralized, autonomous organizations with democratic decision-making and a sybil resistant reputation system rooted in onchain attestations during joyful events. It also provides invaluable primitives with a soulbound Respect token that enables communities to cooperate to achieve shared goals far better than ever before.
This answer is far from perfect from though and I explain it differently to each audience based upon their interests…
Yes the Respect Game can be described as a governance mechanism and a methodology. This can be a great way to describe it to governance enthusiasts and people who are interested in the methods of coordination. I asked ChatGPT about this and it provide a detailed answer that you may find helpful, which I curated on this notion page.
However, describing it as a governance mechanism or a methodology doesn’t paint the entire picture and might sound limiting to people who aren’t as interested in governance or methodology. For others it may be helpful to describe it more a way to evaluate public goods, measuring the value of contributions, a fun social game that can be used to rank anything, an onchain coordination game, the future of collaboration, a collaborative video production process, a framework to facilitate deliberative processes like citizen’s assemblies, an ideation process, a fractal consensus process, a cool new way to meet people, or many other things...
I’ve found it rather elusive to describe the Respect Game in one way that speaks to everyone because the game provides value in so many ways and offers unique value propositions to each person depending on what they’re seeking. The best description is based on the unique preferences of each participant, audience, or target market segment. While some people are more into governance, others may focus more on collaboration, enjoyment, relationships, incentives, sybil protection, or a variety of other benefits. Just like in cooking, all ingredients can be the same but the taste will change depending upon how it’s cooked 👨🏽🍳
How would you describe the Respect Game best? I’m curious to hear your thoughts about this and everyone else’s as well. Perhaps sometime we can vote with Respect or play a Respect Game to decide the best way to describe the Respect Game 😄
On a related note, I recently created a project to create educational resources about Optimism Fractal and another page with methods for voting with Respect that could be helpful to answer this kind of question collectively.
The Optimism Fractal website currently links to the Optimystics article about the Respect Game, but ideally the community will create it’s own description of the Respect Game on the Optimism Fractal website and use some sort of deliberative, democratic process to decide on the best way(s) to describe the Respect Game. The two pages linked above are intended to help facilitate this process in the future, so perhaps once we build better tooling for voting on matters like this then we could have some sort of ranked choice polling to determine the best description for the Respect Game to feature on the community website.
I just created a new task to find the best ways to describe the Respect Game, along with a database to organize each person’s answers. Everyone is welcome to use or remix the content created in the Optimystics site for this purpose if it’s helpful.
Create educational resources and webpages on OptimismFractal.com
Respond to Rosmari about Respect Game description and Eden Fractal spring break
Hmmm playing a game to see what everyone thinks… interesting idea! :)
At Eden Fractal we played a variety of Respect Games and different kinds of consensus games to create a community vision and mission
It would be cool to do something similar with the Respect Game sometime. The prompt of the game could be something like, what is the best way to describe the Respect Game? Alternatively we could vote with Respect in a notion database. I just made a database in
As a reminder, Eden Fractal is also on Spring Break
