I'd be in favor of this if it was to walk around crowded areas/events in costumes (more at end) -- I'm not able to support DOTA events for Lil's, sadly. I don't even think the Esports crowd will think its weird or fun (or buy merch) and just consider us a vehicle for funding. Like, are you signing up for Bank of America or buying a new pair of Adidas just because they sponsored the world cup? Or are people just watching the games and kinda overlooking the sponsors?
I feel like you're not hearing voters when we talk about this in general.. I know its your 'passion' and what you know best -- But you know the DAO's history with DOTA here, the comments from the general esports community, the players/fans who have come and gone as the funds dry up. I think Esports has run its course in the Nouns ecosystem in general until I see something positive about Nouns come from anyone besides you.
I also don't really like "permanent Print-on-Demand" -- feels like it cheapens the brand. What designs? I feel like the last shirts were cool, but not something people want to buy.. Did you sell any of those? If you do manage to sell them, does any rev come back tot he DAO? -- Not clear. Regardless, we're not big enough for more than 1-2 people (maybe) to want to buy a Lil Noun shirt currently..
**What I would support:**
I would support 1-2 costumes, specific to Lils, with defined places (more than just "Halloween and Christmas" loosely listed). Could be you streaming IRL, interacting with people, taking pictures, etc.. (Similar to the Pudgy Penguin costumes we see interacting with streamers, walking around NYC, showing up at events, etc.), and providing an account for people to tag in photos (could be a simple business card printed out with the @ on one side and some lil noggles on the other). People's tags could get re-shared by @lilnouners, etc.. A new IRL character account run by you would be fun to watch grow.
I feel like general crowds people will be more curious and more likely to interact; "wtf are you supposed to be?" ... vs being a mascot at an event where people are there to watch a game/tournament.
Feel free to hit me up directly if you want to chat through any of these points.
Good luck regardless of my feedback <3
Thanks for bringing ideas to Lils.
