FKEEP + Core Assets ASSET
Beyond just a meme: FKEEP (Fountellion Keep(ers)) is not intended to be an in-game currency but a community token to bootstrap or encourage development in - and protection of - various incarnations of Fountellion or Fountain Island and 'green games'. Title 'FKEEP' for Fountellion Keepers, also a counter-play on LFG or Let's F****** Go, towards a more longer-term HODL projects that promote creativity and (re-)connections.
There is already a fractionalised asset for the game governance: the 'Core Aspects & Values' NFT or Asset. Here, 'Tellers' hold 1/100 fractions of this 'atomic asset' and will share the project values or have ideas for contributing or realising aspects of 'Origin' content over time. [See the Core Aspects page.] This is mostly a symbolic token of influence and to represent agreement and overseeing of the Core Aspects and Origin Content, but which may also evolve overtime if agreed upon by asset holders.
FKEEP could well be used for governance, voting, community etc.
'FKEEP'
A more general community token with airdrops 2024+ to complement the Core Aspects & Values.
This will reward early community of 'Pioneer' or 'Seeker' players (and also all Keepers and Tellers). These could include: early access players, developers, testers, promoters of the AI text-based adventure which builds familiarity with the aspects and concepts in the game.
Due to there being previous concept art or associated artwork as NFT, the token may also be airdropped to anyone holding an Ade's Press NFT from ANY of my collections across any chain ideally. This could include 'Organic Metaverse' NFTs.
However, initially a token will be airdropped on AOcomputer, since the permaweb is closest to what Fountellion and The Spiral Metaverse x AI, is moving towards.
The token would also be an extra way to promote work relating to the project, developments and could even help to fund an ecosystem of 'regenerative' or 'green games' or 'permagardens' that evolve via AI...
Does the token relate to the game directly?
The core Fountellion project is not a game for buying and selling many things. It is not a game for power-ups etc. The (ideal) core gameworld model is 'persistent', and everything stays or is made there. However, early stage or alternative Fountellion 'permaworlds' could be mapped in other projects (eg. LlamaLand and release tokens to reward engagement). Therefore, tokens could be released to players for unlocking of simplified 'Insights' of Fountellion to build familiarity with the Core Aspects. (Ideally in a full, virtual realisation, this would unlock soulbound tokens and also some FKEEP).
Other ideas include: Getting a 'biodiversity meter' at a high level could reward all players on the island with FKEEP for working together to restore a depleted ecosystem from players using up too many resources.
FKEEP or similar could be also be used for an ecosystem of Fountellion projects and games, access to these decentralised games and for subscription to the core game etc.
It could also be for other 'The Spiral Metaverse' AO games or simulations or AI projects which also 'evolve' or relate to renewable or regenerative ideas.
The token could also be staked just to 'protect' Fountellion, and allow free access to returning Keepers...
It could be an RL token for growers and permaculture people globally looking to regenerate land or reward people by providing a growing space to practice skills etc.
It could also be a token for 'regen. art' or AI generations exploring nature or the game, and be used in a related marketplace for players past and present to buy memorabilia as NFT.
It could be 'spent' within AI, to generate unique Fountellion content using the Fountain/Origin generator ('Teller bot') that Keepers could then sell as NFT collections etc... or be voted on for inclusion into Origin content.
etc...
.
Seekers, GameKeepers and Tellers (can all be Keepers!)
The concept of Seekers (includes Pioneers): these are early or current players engaged with the 'game' and searching for the Insights. (They can also be Keepers, just in that they are interested in preserving the game experience or concept without being actively engaged).
Keepers are anyone invested in Fountellion and interested in supporting, fostering or preserving the game (and the Core Aspects) and its wider influence.
The concept of GameKeepers: they have achieved soulbound Insight tokens in the game and have progressed in all regions. They must also have unlocked the last Insight. The GameKeeper role 'should' include monitoring the nature of the game, fabric and emergent A-life with more of a focus on the experience of the game ('passive' players) in Fountellion, since they have already 'completed' the main aspects.
Note: So if you hold and keep an AdesPress asset on AO and qualify for $FKEEP token you are also a Keeper (but in an investment sense, and may not be an actual 'GameKeeper' or Pioneer or Seeker, as outlined above.
The concept of Tellers: These are basically Keepers or GameKeepers but who are also Core Aspect NFT owners and overseers, in that they have influence for updates to the Origin game and the Core Aspects themselves. To be a Teller is to be involved with Fountellion on a deeper level, and this 'should' really prove possession of all Insights and retain a close commitment to the project - its expansion, protection and wider influence. Otherwise, they could sell their portion of the Asset, if they are no longer involved.

More about FKEEP
The ethos is in KEEPING, GROWING, EVOLVING the token....
The core coin design should have a rune-style logo of a fork/leaf growth shape, or a garden key, with some watery fountain marks, both out of a spiral shape (for The Spiral) and an outline of an Easter Island statue (moai): the fork is a symbol of growth in the game and often at Ade's Press or 'greenwise art'. The fountain is a symbol of renewal. The moai are strong symbols of the Easter Island mystery in all its different levels and relating to how humankind manages resources and priorities.
You can collect some of the initial Keeper designs for FKEEP and variations (which could contribute towards future FKEEP airdrop....) They can of course be used for promotion online, sustainable merch etc...
The token is also to raise awareness for the Regenerative movement of JUST GROW or TOUCH GRASS and to reconnect with nature and convey/promote naturalism and regenerative growing ideas and techniques.
A Fountellion ethos is for something to become more than the game: It is about appreciating a biome or ecosystem, about growing, self-discovery, nature-discovery, self-awareness of what we 'are' or have come from, and about depending on people to survive again. The island is the main player and 'bond' to forge a sense of community onto a player. Nothing in the game should be easy, and instead should take time and forge meaningful collaborations and 'nature awareness'. The game learning and nature awareness could overspill into RL projects and conservation ideas, and learning about evolution.

'FKEEP' ALLOCATION
Initial supply will be allocated to myself (ade-mc) as the token is launched via AO-BAZAR marketplace in 2024 following final Origin writings and launch of The Fountain chatbot generator, which features text adventure game versions. (This Fountain (Teller bot) would also be moved to decentralised AI chatbot in the future).
INITIAL TOKEN ALLOCATION:
Subject to change in 2024! But, initially, this is a personal project with the best intentions to grow for a community.
The total supply will initially be 900,000 partly as a reminder of the number of Moai Easter Island statues that have been unearthed (900, there may be more!)

May FKEEP continue to guide the way towards a thriving, harmonious, and sustainable future for both affecting game experiences and the world we inhabit.
This encompasses the modelling of biomes, giving players a sandbox 'soil' for growing A-Life, trying out permaculture and regenerative growing in 'virtual gardens', agroforestry etc. in a game environment, etc...

Quests....?
For Airdrop points leading up to (further) token distributions these could revolve around or celebrate aspects of the game to build awareness and preparation.
celebrate Arweave and AOcomputer ecosystem...
via Origin content and Assets...
of situations, landscape, food chain...
an appreciation of regenerative growing practices in the game like agroforestry and interplanting: 'green awareness'...
an appreciation of spiritual aspects, eg. chakras...
A principle aspect of the game and its promotion could also help to raise awareness of climate solutions and reconnection or more time spent growing or with nature eg. 'back to the land'....'syntropic use of trees'...
Note: after initial token distribution, further uses, rewards etc. would be decided upon by a community of Keepers, GameKeepers, Tellers as incentivised FKEEP holders. Let it grow + evolve....

Stay tuned! @ greenmetaverse
