CITIZEN POLL by TheRealPaulTurner

The Outreach Division is collecting data
that will help determine how we operate
moving forward. The data collected here is
not indicative of a final determination, but
will help guide the decision-making
process. We need your thoughts on two
topics:

1. Do you prefer a single Unified Outreach

Division made up of S1 & S2 Citizens OR
Separate S1/S2 Outreach Divisions?

2. If a Unified Outreach Division is decided

upon: • S1 - What is the maximum % of WL
spots you are willing to allocate to S2? • S1 - Respond Here
S2 - What is the minimum % of WL spots

you are willing to accept? S2 - Respond Here

 communityTalent by PhoenixxDown

We all know there’s a huge amount of

talent here in Neo Tokyo, but apart from
the obvious examples where successful
projects have been launched, it’s
sometimes hard to pinpoint where and in
whom exactly the talent resides. It’s a bit
scattered all over the place in our many
threads and channels.
For example, TheRareBird is thinking
about creating a project of her own and
was putting the feelers out in an S2
channel listing certain skills and roles
needed. Wouldn’t it be easier if we had a
place to easily filter and find what we
need?
Well, Citizen soM has a potential solution
to this with the Community Talent
Directory that they have just launched. At
communitytalent.io, you will be able to
make job listings with a shared
community, and prospective employers This adds further credence to the theory

COMMUNITY CALENDAR
by PhoenixxDown

With the new Neo Tokyo website soon to be

unveiled, we’re all wondering what new
features will be implemented on there. In
Angies today, we got another sneak peek of
the direction Becker is leading this.
Press reporter and all-round diamond of the
The Citadel, DamonNeedsToCreate, was
notifying those in Angie's about the ‘The Power
of a Community Calendar’ VC he was hosting
earlier today, when Becker stepped in to say
“we’d be more than happy to assist by placing
this on the site if you like.”
In response, Damon said: “Exactly what I was
working towards. Glad to hear the support.” This will no doubt be fantastic optics for those

GUILD
FIX
by Gab | gdenma2, ! Caz
Some of the more sly members of the
Impostors community have been listing their
staked NFTs well below floor to create panic
and FUD amongst sellers.
oneshot entered Purgatory Club to advise
citizens that it looks like a fix has been
implemented by OpenSea. They commented,
“idk if anyone has been keeping up to date with
Imposters and people staking and then listing,
causing the floor to drop. Looking like a new
update is rolling out. Nice work Ellio.”
Later in the day, the Impostors Team made an
official announcement in their Discord:
“1) We are still working closely with OpenSea for
the more permanent fix and we will have that
out as soon as humanly possible.
“2) As you have noticed, OpenSea has/will be
suppressing fraudulent listings manually until
OS applies the major fix. When there is an
update to be provided on this subject we will be
sure to let the community know.
“3) We have implemented a stopgap measure
In the meantime while we wait for the OS fix.
Staked + Listed Items now have Images that are
clearly identifiable which can be seen when
looking through the Impostors collection on
OS.”
As pictured above, these NFTs now have a clear
warning sign that they are staked and cannot
be bought.
This important fix conveys more complete
project information to potential buyers and
sellers. The total amount of Impostor NFTs
available for sale is actually under 2% at the
time of writing. Thanks for the update, oneshot!
RANKS
by Gab | gdenma2, ! Caz
The snapshot for the S2 guilds and teams has
now been taken!
Yesterday, patrons in Angie’s and Purgatory
saw numerous S1s and S2s scramble to make
last-minute adjustments to get their teams
together. However, some had a rather unlucky
day.
Many citizens were unable to connect to the
website as gateway errors blocked would-be
users like they came straight out of Group 3. A
few exhausted members even gave up the
quest to complete their teams after becoming
frustrated with the site.
The silver lining amongst it all was an
announcement from Becker regarding the
future of guild and team rankings. The Overlord
declared that “guild rankings and team rankings
will be used repeatedly over the years for a lot
of things. The plan is not for sure yet, but
imagine tickets/first access/drops/allocations
etc being given out based on rankings. DO NOT
SPECULATE ON THAT. [That's] just how
guilds/teams are meant to be used. We [don't]
have some BIG drop to fomo into planned right
now.”
Those that gave up may just have to jump back
on the bandwagon and get a team together, or
they may miss out on the future of NT.

try checking out this Medium article.
Hopefully, you can get it figured out before you
look like this guy below.

by Gab | gdenma2, ! Caz

Congrats to the SPECTRE team on its first

allocation for the upcoming P2E game
Ravendawn. The offering comes after the
successful mint of the Quantum Access
Pass NFT last week.
The team behind SPECTRE has been
nothing short of amazing, and the Discord
has exemplified values of transparency,
integrity, and strong work ethic.
Co-Founder, felixnorden clearly
demonstrated these values in his recent
announcement: "For the treasury fanatic,
you might have spotted some transactions
coming and going. Well, for some of you,
we have continued with the surprises
today. We have continued to airdrop an
additional 8 passes to both staff and value-
bringing people that have yet to receive
one. We hope that you will find them
useful, be it for this allocation or the next.
We value you all, hence we give back to Squid has been a great help to many in The

certainly deserving of the accolade from

THEPOND.XYZ by Gab| gdenma2, ! Caz

One of our resident serial buildoors, -IT4I-,
is on the lookout for community members
to help with research for an upcoming
project!
The new project -IT4I- is working on is
ThePond.xyz. This aims to be an all-in-one
platform for NFT-related activities.
ThePond’s founder believes that most
users interested in these platforms are
usually subscribed to 3+ products and
overpay for access. They want to change
this by building a platform that has:
portfolio management, tracking, sniping,
minting, bidding, and social flexing.
If you want to help fill ThePond, check out
the form they have set up to collect data.

 RIDDLE: WHAT IS
SEXIER THAN WATER?
by DamonNeedsToCreate

If we are to think of NT as a metacity, we

have a couple of key utilities that are
essential to our growth and survival. I like
to think of one of the main resource
delivery systems as our water supply.
Information is essential to our whole
community. Without it we will literally dry
up.
The problem right now is that we are
living with wells. In a city where we have
money to throw into meme art, we are
leaving our penthouses and going down
to the nearest well and getting a drink.
Then, as we travel around the city we have
to drink from several wells just to have
enough info to get by. What we need now
is to evolve. We need to have information
piped into our dwellings. Or better yet,
have our lifeblood piped into our phones. If you want to have NT events sent to a
calendar, you can keep track of on your
