A paladin swears to uphold justice and righteousness, to stand with the good things of the world against the encroaching darkness, and to hunt the forces of evil wherever they lurk. A paladin’s power comes as much from a commitment to justice itself as it does from a god.
The life of a paladin is an adventuring life. Sometimes their oaths lead them into the service of the crown as leaders of elite groups of knights, but even then their loyalty is first to the cause of righteousness, not to crown and country. Adventuring paladins take their work seriously. A delve into an ancient ruin or dusty crypt can be a quest driven by a higher purpose than the acquisition of treasure. Evil lurks in dungeons and primeval forests, and even the smallest victory against it can tilt the cosmic balance away from oblivion.
Roles of the Paladin in MetaCartel
Starting new community development initiatives & leading troops forward (eg. DAO rush week)
Taking on ownership over key community objectives (from strategy to execution)
Examples:
Running & organising hacker houses (this was prior to coronavirus lol)
Developing & planning out the DAO migration to v2 Moloch
Making sure vital battle information flows smoothly across the Cartel
Gathering an agenda of items for the weekly DAO meeting call
Partnerships and diplomacy with other organizations + getting more funding pledged
Reward
1000-1500 USD a month (in ETH or MetaCartel DAO Shares)
Note
MetaCartel is growing stronger as every day passes. I believe, my role as a summoner will need to shift towards more solely focused on figuring out where we get funding, treasury management (input/output), and overall strategy.
My sword has been placed at the round table of Paladins
From my perspective it would helpful to split the role into two Paladins or a Paladin + Knight. Then the two? of us will be able to map out outcomes that need to be achieved each week, split up tasks, split reward, etc.
Wow, what an honor! Unfortunately, I don’t have the bandwidth right now. I sent you a message in Telegram with more details. Seriously though, thank you for thinking of me!
Wow, what a hype description!! Vibing with the naming schema much more. I would love to give back to the community in a more structured fashion. I would personally prefer a Paladin + Knight set up as I’m not sure if I will have the capacity to be an equal leader, but would be more than willing to support.
Paladins have been hard at work pushing proposals forward, providing support to new members, scouting grantees, stewarding community initiatives and more admin stuff.
Things the Paladins do include, maintaining town-hall calls & notes, approving DAO proposals, allocating funds to grantees and hackathon winners, planning IRL events, resolving conflicts within the community. We do these things firstly because they need to be done and we are happy to serve this function to the community, secondly no one else has time per the discussion at the top of the thread we have assigned a budget for these activities and potentially they should receive extra shares for these activities as well.
No proposal has been put up yet to compensate these in many months (myself included) so this proposal is to be split up among the current paladins @vengist@JamesW@Sky@puniaviision and Myself as I have been adopted by the paladins at some point in the recent past.
On-chain proposal thank you for your support and please ping any of the folks in this thread if you are interested in learning more about how you can help with Paladin duties.
S/O to @pETH who crushed it with the new community Discord, would like to nominate him for getting a couple shares for handling that so well !
per the discussion at the top of the thread we have assigned a budget for these activities and potentially they should receive extra shares for these activities as well.
gonna put in an updated proposal for the Paladin crew.
