One of the most professional people I’ve had the pleasure to meet! Thank you for the awesome feedback! Our goal is to compete with the best and keep going! Thank you for being part of it
my timeline blew up after the @hamieverse world drop yesterday, but in case you missed it, here's what you missed (and some tips on getting whitelist) hamieworld is an interactive map where you get you play and explore as a hamie, completing quests in exchange for points and badges with new challenges every week there are 4 routes to whitelist: 1. get any badge (fcfs) 2. points leaderboard (gtd) for a certain cutoff 3. discord events like poker, games night, and community events (fcfs+gtd) 4. any master badge (gtd) if you have not checked out the interactive world yet, you can find it here >world.hamieverse.com< i) easiest badge to lock in? log into hamie world and take a photo with the in game camera and post it on x, this unlock a badge and 1,000 points, getting you fcfs in 30 seconds ii) for the points leaderboard, explore the world and quests, and start stacking your points, new quests will be dropped weekly but getting ahead of the curve now to sit comfy in a high lb rank? good idea im iii) i just recently joined the community lore night on wednesday and community games night on thursday and wow - thursdays game night and playing the beta of the hamieverse tcg was very very friggin cool the game is dynamic, visually super appealing, and as someone who used to play a lot of hearthstone i can see a lot of people enjoying this trying to figure out metas, strategies, and decks, can't wait to play the beta some more... at both these events, a bunch of whitelist spots were given out to participants and community members iv) the highly sought after guaranteed whitelist spots.. time to start working towards your master badges you can find the badge that works best for you if its community, game, lore, creator, or referrals, lean into your strengths and find the one you think you can master yourself hope this gives a little guidance on exploring the hamieworld and some insights on how to get yourself positioned!

have also chatted with the brains behind @hamieverse and played the beta (need more time) as a hearthstone player, the flagship game plays extremely well and am confident any tcg players will enjoy the game mechanics and strategy onboarding and how to get whitelist tomorrow 👀 note: look forward to working with the hamie lads on getting this in front of gamers and collectors alike!
Had two calls with the @hamieverse team. Really liked what they're building > Play-to-impact (keep this in mind) Game design is top-tier (try it) Go take your photo & claim your badge 👇 - world.hamieverse.com/ P.S: the lady in white is 🫦🔥

I am blessed to have met some of the best people in the world through this little thing we call internet.
Hello @AdamWeitsman, I just sent you a Hamieverse Genesis NFT. Not because I expect anything in return, but because I recently learned how much our journeys have in common. And it all starts with scrap metal. Here's a story I've never really shared. I was born and raised in Ethiopia. The first real money I ever made came from an abandoned excavator track chain sitting in a yard. I asked my father if I could have it. He said, "Why not?" So I grabbed a steel cable, jumped into a loader, hauled it onto a dump truck and drove to the local scrapyard. That single trip earned me the equivalent of TWO YEARS' SALARY. I'll never forget that cheque. For the first time, "one man's trash is another man's treasure" actually meant something to me. And it completely changed how I looked at opportunity. I don't know if you've ever experienced that exact moment, but something tells me you understand what it's like to see value where everyone else sees junk. Before long, I was driving around in a pickup collecting scrap metal from construction sites and yards. Batteries, radiators, steel. Anything I could find. That money funded my first construction project: an apartment complex in war torn South Sudan, which I rented to the United Nations Mission in South Sudan as its base of operations. That journey eventually led me to crypto, NFTs, and a space I've never left. When I learned more about your story, what resonated wasn't the wealth. It was what you've chosen to do with it. Helping keep a school from closing its doors, supporting families struggling to put food on the table, and investing in spaces where young people can find opportunities they otherwise might never have had. That's the part I respect most. And then there's your conviction in our space. Supporting Otherside, acquiring IP like HV-MTL, and believing these worlds can become something far greater than speculative assets. That combination of building meaningful IP, investing in communities, and creating real-world impact is precisely why I wanted to send you this NFT. Because that's exactly what we're building at @Hamieverse. We're attempting something that sounds almost contradictory: building a universe where the fictional world we create can leave a lasting impact on the real one. An original IP and universe, built around a community that believes entertainment can be a vehicle for something much greater. And that isn't just something we say. Through the Hamieverse, we've completed over 23 real-world humanitarian missions across four continents. From digging wells and providing access to clean water in Africa, to helping children access education in Asia, and supporting communities that need it most. I see a lot of similarities between the values you've demonstrated through your philanthropy and your belief in building lasting IP, and the principles we stand for at Hamieverse. So consider this Genesis NFT a small gesture of appreciation from one former scrapyard hustler to another. No expectations. Just genuine respect for what you've built, the people you've helped, and the values you've championed along the way. Looking back, it's strange to think that an abandoned piece of scrap metal set my entire journey in motion. I wonder where I'd be today if I'd simply walked past it. Sometimes the things others overlook end up becoming the most valuable things we discover. One man's trash is another man's treasure. Welcome to the Burrow, Adam. 🐹

I’m usually against changing coaches because majority of success comes from the players. But G2 needs a coach who understand systems and not game mechanics, leave that to players and staff. G2 needs a full squad rebuild, just jungle will not cut it. It’s just my 2 cents

And I’m here accidentally leaking stuff 🤐
One of the best perks of being the founder: I get to see the Hamieverse before everyone else does. One of the worst: I’m expected to keep it to myself. Anyway…

Mateen explains that @hamieverse is more than just a game; it’s an entertainment IP. “Whatever kind of entertainment you enjoy consuming, whether it’s games, comics, videos or novels, there’s something for you in the Hamieverse ecosystem. And if none of that interests you, but making the real world a better place does, there’s also the hamieverse foundation, creating real impact and helping people across the world.”
