There is no such concept anymore
i'm sure there were lots of 'approved' artists in the pipeline who still would like to submit
Nah every vote counts. It is fractal. Top x can out vote me and top y can out vote them etc
More like the top 100-150 tdh accounts decide
Each us individually decide based on those numbers by each card
i'm struggling to understand who decides whether the art has reached the required standard, whatever that is
i think it does the concept justice
Then it is the collective responsibility of this room to do something about it
So if there are too many insider and 2nd time cards
There is no going back to the old model
There is nobody coming to save you
But the net effect of the curation is the efforts of the people in this room yourself included
You can like or dislike whoever you want
You can criticize whoever you want
so i can't criticise the primeminister unless i intend to run for office?
Bc mints art is vastly doing injustice to the concept and the other one isnt?
but why does this apply just to mintface and not nrsin?
If your point is we should have a deeper pipeline i agree and look forward to your contribution
so let's equally criticise that grayscale travesty
If you had a trainee surgeon @boredsurgeon who you liked a lot and thought was a good efg would you push them to become a great surgeon or would that hurt their feelings?
Ser it is a movie reference. It is fine but these things have nothing to do with each other
Here's the explanation from nrsin about the people in her card
The small human figures symbolize the astronauts and the apes from the film, both in search of meaning and destined to reach a conclusion.
Like, what?
Doesn't mean we don't make then better
Just because his first drafts would sell out
But you know how many drafts @[6529er] and I go through
It can spread further
I don't disagree with any of this
Even more reason for the visual to be improved
i can see plenty of riffs and memes on the passport and i can see it being used and spread, that is also the point
nrsin's? meh
We have more stakeholders than the 100 passport holders
anyone with a passport will read it that way
like anyone with a right click share will read it correctly
Nothing xcopy is off his aesthetic
Not going to be read that way
not fair to call it non artistic
like saying right click share isn't artistic because there's a performance behind it
and it's just a pixel
So we had a chance to talk about it
I just pushed the current leader into a safe distance ahead
Not going to vote it down
think this is good
If you guys want to vote it in you can obviously
It is just going to be read as a non artistic card
He has many different styles and the memes do to
its a different style, and that seems to have set off punk6529 red flag alert
Anyway a lot of people putting words in his mouth
Well ok, if that is the type of game being paid, then he has to win or lose it on the field
I think mint is achieving the intended with his passport meme card
Exactly
his other card is better
mint is plenty capable
i think it's that the card and concept could be really stellar, so let's take the time needed to make the whole thing sing
You are being overly dramatic @[MintFace] is obviously going to get a card and actually has some good graphic skills. It is better for him that he gets an unambiguous win. Mintface with good art would get minted with 100m TDH or something
TO be clear right now i'm NOT unsatisfied I'm just annoyed that NOW has become the moment to look for a change of direction because we suddenly all don't like mintface's meme card
When I think mint should be the 1st person to have an insider card minted
I was very impressed by your high effort work there
I submitted a card of you naked remember
I am saying that your memes submissions/memes curating performance review is deep into "Needs Improvement " territory
Are you telling me I'm always unsatisfied
So i dunno Bored you tell me why you have not done a good job
Anyway I stepped back for a couple of weeks to watch
I'm old enough to remember when bored was complaining about the centralized curation and I said something along the lines of it is harder than it looks and maybe you guys can get beeple and Picasso every week to drop top quality artistic pieces and also memetic please but I dunno it is hard and work
"Boredsurgeon not out hustling to bring in all the better meme cards presumably "
How did we get here
Sounds like you actually agree with me
And we need a bit of a course correction
You are right and my suggestion as noted above is that we are veering close to a danger point of inwardness
as it stands we have largely minted artist 2nd acts and insider cards
Since we have opinions today
No it needs more work too
so if the font was better then everything is solved?
It is accurate. If we minted 30 insider cards like this, it would in fact be over bc it would be hard to convince legitimate artists to submit
i thought this was a bit dramatic
You think that is the point? The concept is fine. The social hacking is fine. The issue is that things like the font look literally 1 second copy pasted on. It does not do justice to what he can do
apparently we're building a network state and yet a meme card of a passport is "out there"
"Bored, known for not having opinions"
can we though?
Overly dramatic statement
anyway my opinion of this whole thing is that i'm genuinely sad to see that THIS is the meme card that punk decides to throw his criticism behind
mintface's card
i don't think this card signals the end of the memes, a bit dramatic
Why should he be stung? It is not that he has labored for months on the art and anyone is criticizing his craft.
This is funny but it’s not the way
Mintfaced submitted work and worked hard for it to get to the top
I don’t want to see it minted
but this discussion would have really stung me and will probably sting him
Respect to the artists who are on the board
