12 hours left to vote! The race is pretty tight at the moment
Trying to get back into the groove and vote on some props. I want to share my voting experience on here too

I try to vote only when I have gained a decent understanding of a prop

One thing I'll say is that sometimes it seems like people can be too quick to vote yes on props
I've been traveling a lot this month, but finally got home from West Coast yesterday

HOW has it already been two weeks since Nouns Town LA!?😵‍💫

I had never been to a Nounish event like this one. The turn out was insane; I met a lot of great people

It felt very special to be a part of💙

Til next time!! ⌐◨-◨
On Sunday, I made a huge lower bracket run and ended up getting 2nd place at a major Smash Melee tournament!

It feels to insane to me because just three weeks ago I placed 3rd at a different tourney, which marked my best major placing at the time.

It hasn’t even been a month and I’ve already surpassed that!

I find it somewhat poetic that my best placing ever also marks my two year anniversary of joining Nouns. I honestly couldn’t believe that when I read it at first. How quickly time has passed, wow. Getting a bit emotional just thinking about it.

As Sasquatch said, I have not only grown as a competitor, but as a person as well. I strongly believe that this growth would not have been possible without Nouns. It is an honor to be a part of this team and community.

I WON THE LET'S PLAY NOUNS ROUND 2!!! Thank you to all who voted for me :)

I've been delegated a CRT-head Noun, meaning I will be able to participate as a voter in the DAO! Really excited for this. I will do my best to positively impact the Nouns ecosystem

⌐◨-◨
MAKING BIG MOVES WITH LIL NOUNS!!!

Just bought my first Lil Noun! I love the concept of @lilnouns a lot, and I'm really excited to be a part of the community
⌐◨-◨
I applied for @esports's delegate round!! Please check out my proposal and vote for me if you can. I believe that I am a strong candidate for this, and would do Nouns proud

I also think being assigned a CRT Head Noun would be extremely fitting for a Smash Melee player lol
somehow feeling FOMO from not going to The International despite never having played dota in my life LOL

The event looks so cool, damnn ⌐◨-◨
Ended up getting 3rd/601 at Riptide this past weekend. Despite having placed 3rd at Shine 2023, this was definitely the closest I have ever come to winning a major tournament

I went game 5 last stock with Zain and my fellow Nouns teammate @codyschwab

I CAN AND WILL WIN A MAJOR SOON!
Just beat Jmook to make top 16 winners side at Riptide 2024!!!
My flight for Nouns Fest is officially booked @nounsfest

Reply below if you're gonna be there!! I can't wait to meet everyone :)
I ended up placing 7th at this tournament losing to the #1, 2, and 3 players in the world (Zain, Cody, and Mango).

NOT BADDD

IS AKLO BACKLO!?
On Sunday, I managed to clutch an extremely close set vs Wizzy (rank 8 in the world) to advance to top 8 at one of the hardest tourneys of the year!!!
WOOHOOOOO!!!! Had some nail biter sets but won Matcha Cup over SDJ, Junebug, and Hungrybox!
Nouns actually has the cleanest esports jerseys, i swear

LOOK AT THAT
Last night I went to New Jersey and I won a tri state regional tournament for Smash Melee! ⌐◨-◨

I almost won the two side events as well🥲
Side note: these medals are actually really good quality lol
Every Wednesday, I go to NYC to represent @esports at "The Nightclub," the largest weekly tournament series in the world for Super Smash Bros. Melee

This week, I managed to win the entire tournament without dropping a single game, which I had never done before!! ⌐◨-◨

For anyone who lives in/nearby NY, you NEED to check out this event! It's held at OS NYC, a really nice gaming bar/lounge where people come by to play, spectate, grab a drink, or even just hang out
btw I also submitted this clip to the combo contest that @esports is holding on https://nouns.gg/rounds/smash-combos

Not many people have entered the contest yet, so... ez money??
Clutch combo from my ranked mode stream on Sunday night😏
I’m super new to Warpcast, coming here from Twitter/X (@notaklo)

Took me a minute to understand this app but I’m actually starting to like it!

Especially enjoying how easy it is to navigate between different channels

I also love the rounds

Low key wish Twitter/X had some of Warpcast’s features
Justus really puts in work to make the Melee community a better place. This is especially evident from his combo video series called "And Friends." He recently uploaded "And Friends vol. 4" to YouTube, and it was a hit.

Even if you're unfamiliar with Melee, you'll enjoy the video due to his insane editing skills alone
Really like this idea. I know multiple gamers from the Melee community who would be interested in applying for this.

Personally, I agree with the decision of not doing zeroweight, mainly for the reasons listed (such as accountability factor).
Saw Fox McCloud at Supernova this past weekend and knew I had to get a pic with him

#missioncomplete
Really psyched about the Delegate Program that @esports is currently proposing

I've had multiple friends/fans from the Melee scenke ask me how they can get involved in the @nouns community. Imo, this program would be a great starting point for those who are newer to the concept of the DAO
