**@playdna_** - A collective of individuals collaborating on a mission to make Nouns playable.
**PlayDNA is AGAINST**. See below for our collective vote with reason (*TheBower, JP, FabValle, joaoborges*):
We enjoyed the creative product types, like the whistle and towels. Unfortunately we just could not get excited about the current designs. We would like to see designs that can captivate even non-nouns fans. We also resonate with frog on the difficulty of breaking outside our bubble and seeing real world demand, which reinforces our point of focusing on less noun-centric designs.

> Seneca has long been floating the thought experiment of "what does nouns look like if there is no treasury?". Forgive me if I am misinterpreting what he means by this, but I'm coming around to the idea that maybe it means something like "what would we want to focus our efforts on if we didn't have a treasury but still wanted nouns to be a success?"

> Here's another thought experiment. In addition to having no treasury, what if nouns was relatively unheard of. Imagine we are group of friends excitedly growing our squad together. What would our priorities look like? What would we want to spend our time on?

> Nouns merchandise is always going to fall flat for me because the only audience is ourselves. In the thought experiment above, is the best way for us to grow our little squad making sure we are first decked out in custom t-shirts and stickers and towels? In my opinion it is not.

> Merch is fun because people like repping nouns but there's already plenty of it on the market and while the ask is low, I quote SQX "always thought judging ideas based on auction size vs merit / value / industry standard was a grave error". This feedback is for voting against large ask props because they are too big, but it goes both ways. We shouldn't vote for small ask props just because they are small. The value needs to be there too.
