You should vote for me because:
I'm obsessed with Degens. I'm an active member of the community that has been here since before mint. I was one of the many who were locked out of minting during the second launch. Regardless, I embraced and continued to participate in the community. I keep track of all Degen related news, both official and unofficial, read and catch up on all chats everyday, discuss with and help new and current apes alike, review recent sales history, trait floor prices, and ape market trends to better disseminate helpful information to apes. My obsession and awareness of the ape market led me to creating the Unofficial Degenerate Ape Academy Buying Guide, which I plan to update in 2 hours (you can find this in the #degen-resources channel, pinned in the #ape-chat channel, and pinned on my Twitter).
Besides being passionate, I'm logical and flexible enough to brainstorm and explore ideas with whoever ends up being my co-councilmen. If you've seen me in chat, you've probably already noticed I'm always throwing out random thoughts to better the community. I value all good ideas, not just my own, and will critically examine those presented to make sure they have a solid foundation with little room for cracks, and to be implemented to their fullest potential. In our short history, we've had a lot of fuck ups. I want to be the gatekeeper to these setbacks and strengthen the DAA brand.
Finally, I am heavily invested in Degen Apes. At the time of writing, I own 11 apes. This may not be a lot compared to others, but this represents the majority of my net worth. This incentivizes me to continually work to improve the Academy and try to maintain our position as the premier Solana NFT (at this time, SMB has taken the #1 spot by market cap. Congrats to them, but we need to get to work and break out of complacency and move past our issues once and for all). And while I seek a fair settlement for the Exile community, I also value the 10K and their concerns regarding "dilution".
I'm open to exploring other stipulations, but if Exiles are to be a separate collection, I will for sure be pushing for:
-Removal of developer royalties from Exile sales
-8 Sol refunds while still keeping their Exile apes
-Fixing images/metadata of ghosts. Blank apes TBD
These concessions are pretty popular and I expect all of these to be agreed upon in the council.
If I'm elected, I will:
-Critically examine ideas, making sure their isn't room for error or a potential setback
-Continue to maintain and update the Buying Guide
-Push for the above mentioned Exile concessions
-Suggest and implement games and activities to keep the community involved and engaged (trivia night, online games, etc)
-Push for regular communication and updates from the team
-Explore further ideas for the academy website (such as a library/archive that catalogues all significant/funny DAA events. Shoutouts to Sonder)
-Push for stipulations regarding custom apes when being sold so as not to sow discord between apes and influencers, harming the DAA brand
-Get Jane Goodall a custom ape
