Forever Apes // Upgrade # 3 // Biweekly card games and tutorials for all $APE holders
Category: Core: Brand Decision
Submitted by: Forever Apes (Team:@ 12 GAUGE,@Brazy)
ABSTRACT
This proposal presents the idea that ApeCoin holders be eligible for biweekly games produced by the Forever Apes team.
Via our tokenproof portal, anyone with a minimum of 10 $APE in their wallet is eligible to play in biweekly online games. We will move these games to Otherside if / when possible.
In addition, digital resources will be made available to community members who either don’t know how to play, or would like to elevate their game. Education will be made available via Daniel Negreanu’s MasterClass and will be included in the proposal budget.

MOTIVATION
Following the success of our first game and the enthusiasm surrounding future games, we have decided to organize biweekly ( 2 per month) games powered by ApeCoin. Participation rewards will be sourced from community based projects to help promote and draw attention to deserving start ups. Token gating these games will prevent tourists from joining and encourage them to buy a minimum of 10 $APE to participate.
(WE LOVE THE FOUNDERS)
Cards games are a life skill and the biggest impediment to joining our first game was a lack of knowledge or confidence, access to Daniel’s MasterClass solves this. We will meet in OtherSide VC during these games and they will bring people together and foster community. We will generate excitement while rewarding people for simply participating with the ApeCoin ecosystem.
RATIONALE
We believe, through a series of shared experiences, products, and stories, we will create a more active and engaged ApeCoin community. It’s with these shared experiences that ApeCoin can realize its true potential to become the preferred token of web 3 . This AIP proposes we host biweekly games ( 2 per month) for 6 months. At the end of 6 months we reassess interest and can scale up or down.
SPECIFICATIONS
Although we have various products and experiences planned, this AIP outlines one of our many community events, biweekly games.
Online Platform -
Biweekly games for 6 months (max 300 participants per game)
Alternating times to accommodate time zones
Club rankings
Custom card skins
Removed ads for all club members
MasterClass -
Access to full MasterClass suite, including Daniel Negreanu’s class
50 reassignable spots included in budget
Additional licenses available for purchase
Participation Pool

10 Biweekly participation pools of 400 $APE
2 Grand participation pools of 1250 $APE
Biweekly featured communities
STEPS TO IMPLEMENT
Forever Apes has already made significant progress in accomplishing the stated goals and following our first game we have proven the concept has interest.
Portal - With the help of tokenproof we will create a token gated portal. Once again, we would absolutely be willing to undergo any security audits needed.
Community communication - We propose that ApeCoin either tweet, or retweet twice per month to update people about upcoming games and times.
Creative graphics and copy will be supplied for each tweet.
TIMELINE
Once the DAO approves this grant, Forever Apes is positioned to implement these steps immediately. Let the games commence!
The estimated timeline for the above steps is as following -
Create token gated portal with tokenproof [ 3 WEEKS]
Liaise with MasterClass [COMPLETE]
Negotiate and implement features with the online platform [ 3 WEEKS]
OVERALL COST
This section highlights the rough cost structure including collaborations, design, web, and organization.

Great proposal!
Would love to interact with the APE community thru Poker. Is this also accessible on mobile? Or just desktops?

As a poker player I love the idea to connect poker and ApeCoin.
What I don’t like are the costs which seem to be unreasonably high plus the fact that it is not very inclusive. Only a few community members will be able to participate due to different time zones, affinity to poker and limited space provided.
Your first proposal with the playing cards has the same problem: 1000 card decks on a first come first serve basis. This will make 1 k people happy and frustrate 99 k others. The 45 k$ could have been invested way more efficient. This also applies to this proposal for 20 k $APE.
Seeing the numbers of proposals you posted worries me further
Mantis: Seeing the numbers of proposals you posted worries me further
In @12GAUGE’s defense, those proposals are meant as continuous upgrades to a stable platform/idea, and they all fit a common theme… they’re not random
12GAUGE: @srsly , thanks for checking out our AIPs and genuinely appreciate the feedback.
I think i’ve addressed most your concerns below but let me know if you have any other questions.
srsly:
What I don’t like are the costs which seem to be unreasonably high
Based on the time we spent setting up previous games it’s about 10 $APE per hour for admin. At the time of writing, roughly $28 per hour.
Balance of budget goes back to the community.
srsly:
Only a few community members will be able to participate due to different time zones, affinity to poker and limited space provided.
Plan is to rotate times to make this inclusive to all time zones and masterclass available at your leisure.
srsly:
This will make 1k people happy and frustrate 99k others.
This is top of mind for us and we intend to include a scalable element in all our AIPs that each of our 99k+ community members can engage with.
srsly:
The 45k$ could have been invested way more efficient.
Curious how you would invest this money, we are looking to grow from all feedback, maybe we can collab on an AIP? Interested to hear what you’re most passionate about.

What concerns you about the number of AIPs we have submitted so far? The time these AIPs take to pass and get funding is 3+ months. We have already started working on most of the other proposed AIPs (2 of which have no monetary cost to the DAO) and come from a digital agency background so all these items are very much within our wheelhouse. If it’s execution risk that scares you, don’t stress, we pride ourselves on quality.
Thanks again, here for further questions / comments.
