The May Royal Rumble has finished with the @♠️│House of Spades on top this month, completing a nice turn-around after finishing in fourth last month. Congratulations! @​jvn helped seal the deal, taking 2nd & 3rd Place in Royal Match, adding a cool 350 ROYAL/RLP to the Spades end of month tally.

The @♣️│House of Clubs once again locked in second place for the month with clinching Royal Match performances, this time by @​bucs4life_99 (1st Place - 250 ROYAL/RLP), @​1CentCollector (4th Place - 100 ROYAL/RLP) and @​WallyMcWalface (5th Place - 50 ROYAL/RLP).

Let's take a look to see where the rest of the Houses finished this month!

**COMPETITIVE STAKING - MAY DISTRIBUTION**

> First Place = @♠️│House of Spades 
> Second Place = @♣️│House of Clubs 
> Third Place = @♥│House of Hearts
> Fourth Place = @♦│House of Diamonds

Reminder: The earned ROYAL from the staking period will be distributed in the next week, based on your House's finishing position (4x, 8x, 12x, or 16x multiplier of your personal scorecard). Once that is completed and distributed, if you note a discrepancy or error, please open a #📞│support-ticket! Thank you to everyone for your participation and feedback this month!

**ROYAL RUMBLE - JUNE STAKING BEGINS**

**The next month of Competitive Staking begins on June 3rd at NOON ET **- with the Grace Period to move around/stake NOW underway and running until then (if you would like to take advantage of the Delegate.cash feature we'd suggest moving your card to your cold storage wallets now!). New Team assignments will take place shortly after.

If needed, please be sure to move assets during the Grace Period. If cards are moved please be sure to re-stake your cards by the deadline to qualify for June Competitive Staking! If you are already staking your cards and don't wish to move anything, you have nothing more to do - you will roll into the new month automatically.

Also last, but certainly not least. @​jvn has released a new edition of The Society which you can find here: https://medium.com/@iamjvn/the-society-red-queen-rising-3-481dd72ecbd7

Make sure to give it a read and more importantly give JVN a follow on medium (https://medium.com/@iamjvn) and twitter (https://twitter.com/jvn_xyz) - to catch up on all the great work JVN is putting out.

Good luck to all of you in the June Royal Rumble! @everyone

@everyone GM Players. Just wanted to give a brief update regarding the Curated Special Agent 1/1 MVPs. The 1/1 metadata trait display on marketplaces like OpenSea will be coming in the next few weeks. But in the meantime we did not want to delay this highly sensitive information and reveal of these new special MVPS any longer - so you can find the spreadsheet below that contains the Token ID# and link. Additional discovered intelligence has provided the identity of 4 more Special Agent 1/1 MVPS hiding in the shadows to bring the total number of Special Curated MVPS to 30!

Congratulations to everyone who managed to land one of these unique and rare gems, as well as those who have held! We will give an further update once the new 1/1 metadata is live. Thank you all for your patience and participation!

**1/1 MVPS TOKEN IDs:** https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Hmv8jKjeLOe2a11cwmJUNJ9vu0h760wKGjSl39YjUx4/edit?usp=sharing

GM - just a friendly reminder to anyone that wants to get a Celestial Showdown Royal Art for the marketplace raffle, you have until 1:00PM ET tomorrow to do so. The drawing will be held on Monday, May 22.

We are thrilled to present an exciting opportunity for our esteemed community to earn 50 Royal tokens and promote the RSOP on Twitter!

We believe one of these tools, in particular, would greatly benefit the RSOP community. 

Introducing the "Spotlight Bot" – an innovative tool that automates the posting of NFTs from your favorite collections on Twitter, complete with traits and a link to Opensea. We invite and encourage our community to create their own "RSOP Spotlight Bot" to showcase our talented artist Oban's magnificent collection of cards and promote our incredible project!

0xB159F1a0920A7f1D336397A52D92da94b1279838

-Add the @royalsocietyOP tag 

-Link your Twitter account for seamless automation

- Deploy your bot!

That’s it! We will record your posts/tags via twitter and alert those that created a bot in Discord on May 17th! We can't wait to see the collective efforts of our community members in action!

But wait! That’s not all! 

We will also select 1 random winner from those that participate to win a Metaverse Players NFT by Butcher Billy! 

*Stay tuned for tomorrow's announcement about our Metaverse Player Birthday Celebration next week! 👀🎉

The April Royal Rumble has wrapped with the @♦│House of Diamonds laying claim to the throne this month! Shoutout to the whole squad for putting in the work to get the job done! The @♣️│House of Clubs locked in second place for the month with a first place win in Royal Match by @​ItsGottaBeTheShoes23 to add an extra 250 ROYAL/RLP to their monthly total.

That's a wrap for the March Royal Rumble! Congratulations to the @♠️│House of Spades on taking down the Royal Rumble title! You all narrowly completed the comeback last month, so an extra shoutout for getting the job done this month! 

We had some great competition during the March RR and with another busy schedule of sports, card games and other competitions lined up for April, we will no doubt see more fireworks.

> Second Place = @♦│House of Diamonds 
> Third Place = @♥│House of Hearts 
> Fourth Place = @♣️│House of Clubs 

Reminder: The earned ROYAL from the staking period will be distributed in the next week, based on your House's finishing position (4x, 8x, 12x, or 16x multiplier of your personal scorecard). Once that is completed and distributed, if you note a discrepancy or error, please open a #📞│support-ticket! Thank you to everyone for your participation and feedback this month!

**ROYAL RUMBLE - APRIL STAKING BEGINS**

**The next month of Competitive Staking begins on April 3rd at NOON ET **- with the Grace Period to move around/stake NOW underway and running until then (if you would like to take advantage of the Delegate.cash feature we'd suggest moving your card to your cold storage wallets now!).

If needed, please be sure to move assets during the Grace Period. If cards are moved please be sure to re-stake your cards by the deadline to qualify for April Competitive Staking! If you are already staking your cards and don't wish to move anything, you have nothing more to do - you will roll into the new month automatically.

That's a wrap for the March Royal Rumble! Congratulations to the <@&1015066837513420850> on taking down the Royal Rumble title! You all narrowly completed the comeback last month, so an extra shoutout for getting the job done this month! 

We had some great competition during the March RR and with another busy schedule of sports, card games and other competitions lined up for April, we will no doubt see more fireworks.  

**COMPETITIVE STAKING - MARCH DISTRIBUTION**

> First Place = <@&1015066837513420850> 
> Second Place = <@&1015066456582529044> 
> Third Place = <@&1015062588243071126> 
> Fourth Place = <@&1015067086864781423> 

Reminder: The earned ROYAL from the staking period will be distributed in the next week, based on your House's finishing position (4x, 8x, 12x, or 16x multiplier of your personal scorecard). Once that is completed and distributed, if you note a discrepancy or error, please open a <#868872133676240936>! Thank you to everyone for your participation and feedback this month!

**ROYAL RUMBLE - APRIL STAKING BEGINS**

**The next month of Competitive Staking begins on April 3rd at NOON ET **- with the Grace Period to move around/stake NOW underway and running until then (if you would like to take advantage of the Delegate.cash feature we'd suggest moving your card to your cold storage wallets now!). New Team assignments will take place shortly after. 

If needed, please be sure to move assets during the Grace Period. If cards are moved please be sure to re-stake your cards by the deadline to qualify for April Competitive Staking! If you are already staking your cards and don't wish to move anything, you have nothing more to do - you will roll into the new month automatically.

Good luck 🐇 in the April Royal Rumble!

<:RSOP:876305954147274832> <a:ACES:888505340650483722>  **ROYAL RUMBLE - FEBRUARY ROUNDUP** <a:ACES:888505340650483722> <:RSOP:876305954147274832>

The February Royal Rumble has finished, with the @♦│House of Diamonds taking home the Team Crown this month! 

Similar to last January RR, the @♠️│House of Spades put together some big wins at the the end to nearly take over First Place! This time around it was @​AbundanceDan, whose month long Royal Match grind paid off with a 650 ROYAL/RLP haul for himself and Team Spades! But in the end Team Diamonds prevailed with a narrow 217 RLP win!

**COMPETITIVE STAKING - FEBRUARY DISTRIBUTION**

> **First Place = @♦│House of Diamonds
> Second Place = @♠️│House of Spades
> Third Place = @♣️│House of Clubs 
> Fourth Place = @♥│House of Hearts**

Reminder: The earned ROYAL from the staking period will be distributed in the next week, based on your House's finishing position (4x, 8x, 12x, or 16x multiplier of your personal scorecard). Once that is completed and distributed, if you note a discrepancy or error, please open a #📞│support-ticket!  Thank you to everyone for your participation and feedback this month!

**ROYAL RUMBLE - MARCH STAKING BEGINS**

The next month of Competitive Staking begins on March 3rd at 4:00PM ET - with the Grace Period to move around/stake NOW underway and running until then (if you would like to take advantage of the Delegate.cash feature we'd suggest moving your card to your cold storage wallets now!). New Team assignments will take place shortly after. 

If needed, please be sure to move assets during the Grace Period. If cards are moved please be sure to re-stake your cards by the deadline to qualify for March Competitive Staking! If you are already staking your cards and don't wish to move anything, you have nothing more to do - you will roll into the new month automatically.

Good luck 🍀 in the March Royal Rumble! @everyone

Introducing the Spring Fred Segal Lightweight Bomber Racing Jacket designed by the iconic lifestyle fashion brand, Fred Segal, in partnership with NFT communities OnChainMonkey, House of First, Royal Society of Players, and NASCAR Driver Julia Landauer.

To build on this incredible experience, we’re excited to continue the collaboration with this custom racing jacket (see images below!) designed by a brand that has defined the Los Angeles look and sparked a revolutionary shirt in style.

Don't miss out on this one-of-a-kind opportunity to elevate your style or grab one of these incredible jackets. Limited quantities available, so act fast!  

For those that miss the pre-order, you can visit Fred Segal LA in Spring 2023 for the same jacket at $349.99. Order NOW:

- The Ranked leaderboard which ends at the end of the month (as the staking period concludes)

The players with the top 5 scores (at the end of the month) will receive Royal/RLP rewards: 250 for 1st, 200 for 2nd, 150 for 3rd, 100 for 4th, 50 for 5th place. Players can place multiple times in the top 5 if they have multiple top scores.

Your goal is to get at least 80 points in Level 1 (to level up) then to score as highly as possible in Level 2. Remember, once you play a square, you can't play it again within a game. Choose wisely.

<:RSOP:876305954147274832> 🎆 **ROYAL RUMBLE - JANUARY ROUNDUP** 🎆 <:RSOP:876305954147274832>

The January Royal Rumble has officially come to a close with the @♣️│House of Clubs ending the month on top for the first time! Congratulations and well done @🃏│Players! 

It was an incredibly close battle for Second place as the @♠️│House of Spades nearly staged a comeback today to overtake the @♦│House of Diamonds, but fell just 20 ROYAL/RLP short! 

What an exciting finish! <a:clap:864941834198974514> <a:ACES:888505340650483722> <a:cards:863966847695323146>  

**COMPETITIVE STAKING - JANUARY DISTRIBUTION**

> **First Place = @♣️│House of Clubs
> Second Place = @♦│House of Diamonds
> Third Place = @♠️│House of Spades
> Fourth Place = @♥│House of Hearts**

Reminder: The earned ROYAL from the staking period will be distributed between February 1st and February 6th, based on your House's finishing position (4x, 8x, 12x, or 16x multiplier of your personal scorecard). Once that is completed and distributed, if you note a discrepancy or error, please open a #📞│support-ticket!  Thank you to everyone for your participation and feedback throughout January.

**ROYAL RUMBLE - FEBRUARY STAKING BEGINS**

The next month of Competitive Staking begins on February 3rd at 4:00PM ET - with the Grace Period to move around/stake NOW underway and running until then (if you would like to take advantage of the new Delegate.cash feature we'd suggest moving your card to your cold storage wallets now!). New Team assignments will take place shortly after. If needed, please be sure to move assets during the Grace Period. If cards are moved please be sure to re-stake your cards by the deadline to qualify for February Competitive Staking! If you are already staking your cards and don't wish to move anything, you have nothing more to do - you will roll into the new month automatically.

Good luck in the February Royal Rumble!

<:RSOP:876305954147274832>  **Delegate.Cash is now helping to secure the Royal Society of Players** <:RSOP:876305954147274832> 

Attention Members of the Society,

We are pleased to announce that our team has successfully implemented a new firewall to enhance the security of our community. This new measure, implemented by projects like Bored Ape Yacht club, will provide additional protection for our assets and ensure the safety of our members.

**What is Delegate.cash?**

Delegate.cash, accessible here - https://delegate.cash/ can be used to assign a hot wallet delegate for your cold wallet vault. The delegate has permission to claim airdrops or other utility on behalf of the vault, but it cannot touch anything within the vault. 

Delegate.Cash has built a granular permissions system, so you can either assign a delegate for either (1) everything; (2) a specific contract; (3) a specific token. Most users may be interested in delegating everything, but you could also delegate one hot wallet to handle your Royal Platform interactions and another wallet to handle your Royal Match interaction for further separation of powers. We have included a graphic below explaining what delegate cash is.

*This is the same tool that was used by Bored Apes for their sewer pass mint among other communities*

**How to set up Delegate.cash**

- Users can delegate a hot wallet by connecting to https://delegate.cash/ with their cold wallet and following the steps. 

- Wallets must be delegated either as 'Wallet' (global delegation for all contracts), or 'Contract' where the contract address is the RSOP Card contract 0xB159F1a0920A7f1D336397A52D92da94b1279838. 

- Once this is completed, upon connecting to the RSOP website with a delegated hot wallet, users will be granted the option to login as their cold wallet. This process ensures that a user never has to connect their cold wallet to the RSOP site in order to access our ecosystem and rewards.

We are confident that this firewall will greatly improve the security of our society and provide peace of mind for the entire community. Thanks to the incredible efforts of our Devs, our Kingdom is now safer than ever.

We appreciate the community’s thoughtful suggestion to include this feature, which helps ensure the safety and well-being of our Society.

- If a player scores 68 points or higher they get a 25 Royal/RLP reward and progress to level 2. 

- Level 2 has 5 objectives: 
**4s** - Sum of all 4's 
**5s** - Sum of all 5's
**Large Straight ** - 5 Sequential cards = 40 points
**3x** - With at least 3 matching cards of any type = the sum of all your 5 cards, so if you have a 6/6/6/1/1 = that scores 20, if you have a 5/5/5/6/6 = that scores 27
**5 Match** - Any 5 matching cards = 50 points

The max potential for Level 2 is thus = 4s (4x5 = 20) + 5s (5x5 = 25) + Large Straight (40) + 3x (6x5 = 30) + 5 Match (50) = 165 max score!

- Level 2 has a ranked leaderboard which ends at the end of the month (as the staking period concludes)

At the end of the month, the players with the top 5 scores will receive Royal/RLP rewards: 250 for 1st, 200 for 2nd, 150 for 3rd, 100 for 4th, 50 for 5th place. Players can place multiple times in the top 5 if they have multiple top scores.

Your goal is to get at least 68 points in Level 1 (to level up) then to score as highly as possible in Level 2. Remember, once you play a square, you can't play it again within a game. Choose wisely.

**PHASE 2 - Q1/2023**

From here, we will begin work diligently on Phase 2 which will offer more personalizations across other Traits. Butcher Billy blessed us with an enormous creative gift (trait library) in the making of the Metaverse Players, which have been designed from the start with significantly more complexity and texture than meets the eye. Without impacting Rarity (the metadata will NOT change with these personalizations) users will be provided a variety of tools to improve and refine the aesthetics of their MVPs. The Personalization Studio provides us the ability to technically fulfil this creative vision.

*Conclusion*

We hope the community enjoys these powerful new tools, and we hope you enjoy the opportunity of playing with your creativity. As always when you innovate, new technology may break so we welcome all your feedback and ideas regarding this platform going forward. Lastly, we wanted to share our excitement that this release represents an important technical milestone for the platform, and unlocks the ability to deliver more creative magic and wizardry over the course of the coming year.

**THE NEW UPDATES:**

We are excited to share that we have updated business card customization in the following ways:

➡️ **Add Images** - You can use any image url and paste it in the Image URL box and click "Add Image Layer" to add the layer to their customisation palette. This can be done an infinite number of times. You can then adjust and alter the size and proportions of the image on the business card. A reminder that any pixels that expand over the side of the business card will simply be cropped out. 

➡️ **Edit Text** - There is no longer a character limit. You are now free to add as many lines of text on the card as you wish. Front size is also no longer numerically set but rather adjusted on the image directly, similar to a traditional "text box" feature. Similar to Image layers there can also be an infinite number of text layers positioned differently within the bounds on the business card. 

➡️ **Layers** - We have also added layer technology into the personalisation studio. This feature gives you the ability to organize the positioning of multiple text and image layers at the end time. Bringing forward and Backwards certain layers to create a truly unique business card. An example use case would be using a specific color as the card background color with a logo on the left of the card and text on the right. Similar to what we can see in the video below. 

➡️ **Preview & Save** - The added preview option allows you the opportunity to preview what your newly customized MVP will look like. If you're happy with your customisation click “save” to have the image dynamically updated live on the Blockchain and visible in Opensea (with a user initiated metadata refresh). 

There isn't a limit on the number of customisations you can make on your card, however, note there may be occasional slight delays whilst the image is formally updated on chain. Any customisations can be restored back to the original artwork by unchecking the “Enable Customisation” button within the studio. Which means if you buy one on secondary you can undo any changes and create/recreate (or not) as you wish. 

*Rules and Exclusions*

With great power comes great responsibility! Whilst we implore everyone to push the bounds of customisation with their MVPs we have set some limits to ensure offense is not caused through the use of a banned word list. The banned word lists prohibits certain banned words being saved onto a user's NFT, however, if exploited we will on a case by case basis restore the NFT back to the original and ban the user from the customisation platform for a week. Continued abuse will lead to more permanent consequences. This is also the case for the use of unsavoury images. When in doubt, have common sense, and reflect "would Grandma approve?” We believe this rule allows users to enjoy the power of the customisation experience and viewing what other MVP holders have been able to design within the platform, while upholding community values.

<a:siren:864942124200886332> **The Personalisation Studio Update is now LIVE!!** <a:siren:864942124200886332> 

We're excited to announce that the Metaverse Players (MVP) Personalisation Studio Update is now live within the Royal Platform, accessible here - https://www.royalsociety.io/royal

A few months ago, we outlined that the 4th (and final) Core Module of the Royal Platform will be the Personalization Studio, which is a comprehensive platform that brings to the forefront some of our team’s unique art and blockchain skills, while empowering you to be The Creator.

Today, we are delighted to share the next update is live - with its first application being demonstrated within the Metaverse Players (MVP) collection and specifically with the “Business Card” trait where you can dynamically customize and personalize the trait in an infinite number of ways, LIVE on the blockchain!!!

**PHASE 1 - Enhancements & Updates **

Building upon the great work already done in the Phase 1 the development team have been hard at worked improving the UI and adding significant additional customisation options that allow you the ability to drag and drop text and images as well as use and infinite amount of layers to create the perfect your business card. **Importantly, all creations can be saved on the Blockchain and be visible on OpenSea in real time!**

This bespoke technology allows for a "mini-photoshop" like experience within the personalisation studio and provides us with the platform to be at the forefront of on-chain customisation, with significant potential for 2023!

**Royal Society | Introducing the Royal Match Game**

We are excited to introduce a very exciting game into our Royal Gaming portfolio, created entirely by our amazing DEV team! This evolution of Battle Cards 2.0 introduces even more strategy, levels, and skill for our community to enjoy.

We are starting off with a simple Beta for now (inspired by some classic games) however we want the community to know that this strong backend will allow us to take the Battle Cards platform into a variety of directions. We look forward to hearing from the community regarding your thoughts about games, game play, and potential directions into the New Year!

Without further adieu, let us formally introduce: The Royal Match Game! 

**How to play:**

- Connect your wallet on the RSOP website https://royalsociety.io/royalmatch 

- You can play up to 3 games every day (new rounds start daily at 3pm EST). 

- Within each turn, you can draw up to 3 times a turn and choose one position to play each turn. 

- You can hold as many or as few cards per each Draw as you would like to keep for the next turn. 

- The cards are currently limited to A's (1’s), 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's, 6's.

**The play objectives (squares) are:**

 - **6's** : Your points are the sum of all 6's you hold. Max 30 (6 x 5)

 - **4 Card Straight (Small Straight)**: If you get 4 cards in straight, you score 30 points. Example: A234, or, 2345.

 - **Mixed (Question Mark)**: Your points are the sum of all mixed cards you hold. Example 56556 would score 27. So max here is also 30 (6x5)
 
For this Beta with the current board and objectives available, the **max total score is 90**. In the future other boards will be available with other scores and objectives.

Your goal is to get the most points in each of those squares, with a maximum of 90. Once you play a square, you can't play it again within a game. Choose wisely. There are leaderboards but these currently aren't public but will be in future. Highest score wins!

Head to https://royalsociety.io/royalmatch to test out our Beta Version! All feedback appreciated. The Royal Match game is currently found on our website (PC or Mobile), as it requires specific UI and front end development. However we will be able to also migrate to Discord in time, but for how we envision the platform growing it will likely always be best enjoyed on the website.

We will be rolling out a leaderboard and tournaments soon, for a chance to earn $ROYAL and RLP! For now enjoy and let us know what you think. @everyone

**Royal Marketplace Auction Update**

I'd firstly like to thank @everyone for participating in this months ROYAL marketplace. Unfortunately we did run into an error during the closing hour of the marketplace, meaning no bids were able to be placed for a period of time (beyond just the 1 minute extension). I appreciate the members of the community that flagged it with us. 

To try and resolve the auctions in the fairest way possible we will extend the auctions for 24 hours until 4pm EST on Thursday the 22nd of December. This will hopefully enable everyone who wanted to participate the opportunity to. 

My sincere apologies to anyone who encountered a problem. The code required to run auctions like this is quite complex and whilst we run a significant amount of testing, bugs do unfortunately occur sometimes. We can confident that we have resolved this particular issue, so we hope to have a clean and smooth auction experience moving forward. That said if any issues arise, please flag them at any time so our final product is always the most optimized based on community feedback.

Whew! That’s a lot of items, and hopefully a “something for everyone” in this month’s December marketplace in the spirit of the holiday season.

While we are confident the marketplace is ready for action, as always if you experience any issues please let us know so we can troubleshoot and ensure fairness for all in the process.

Happy Holidays!

<a:siren:864942124200886332> 🛒 **Royal Marketplace | December Shop Week is OPEN** 🛒 <a:siren:864942124200886332> !

Tis the season - for the December Royal Marketplace!  Today we are excited to announce that December Shop Week is live within the Royal Platform, accessible here: https://www.royalsociety.io/royal. The December Shop Week will close next week on Wednesday, December 21st, 2022 4:00 PM <t:1671656400:f> - so be sure to fill your stockings by then.

For the December Shop Week, we will be utilizing a few rewards and a few methods (Auction and Buy Now) as below: 

**A) AUCTION - Redeem in ROYAL **

Coming out of last month’s marketplace, there was a potential glitch with how the Royal Auctions concluded for the two items in the marketplace (the last bids required a manual refresh). We have now fixed that issue, but out of fairness, are adding 2 additional items back into this month’s shop period - as a few people mentioned they would like the opportunity to bid on these again:  

> **1. OCM Karma #1229** - https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x86cc280d0bac0bd4ea38ba7d31e895aa20cceb4b/1229
> 
> **2. Metaverse Players #4264**  (Laser Eyes with Business Card - showcasing functionality from the Personalization Studio) https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x4819dab28d11de83c20c75c7fa2a6eac9dc948d4/4264

Additionally, we are also making the following items available this month in Royal:

> **3. GOATz #439** (Our Poker collab partner this month - your entry into a unique, well-established and active community.) https://opensea.io/assets/ethereum/0x3eacf2d8ce91b35c048c6ac6ec36341aae002fb9/439
> 
> **4. NFT Canvases: New Partnership Announced & FREE code for RSOP NFT Canvas Print** 
> We are excited to reveal a new RSOP partnership with NFT Canvases, the leading on-chain NFT printing and authentication company. Thank you to the Royal Treasurers for making this happen! While they have a few different print options at different prices, the auction today is for a FREE print (valued as a $99 off code). Shipping and handling not included. We will work on distributing additional FREE print codes like this in the future as part of the partnership, over the coming weeks and months. Additionally as part of the partnership, NFT Canvases has provided all RSOP holders with a one time 15% off code - not valid with any other offer. Code: “RSOP15” valid on their site here: https://www.nftcanvases.com/

🤖  **RSOP Twitter Bot 2.0 is Live!!!** 🤖 

Continuing our mission to innovate & iterate (or as PeaceFrog likes to call it “Solve + Evolve”) we have added another feature to the RSOP Twitter Bot. Based on the success of last week's beta, we’ve added an additional way to drive support and increase engagement for Royal Society communications! This continues to expand what has become a compelling portfolio of proprietary products and solutions in the Royal Labs toolkit.

Starting today, anyone (including non holders) can earn ROYAL by interacting with “Royal” Tweets from the RSOP account in a number of fun ways. All that is required to start receiving ROYAL is a RSOP platform account with your Twitter account linked. To receive RLP alongside your ROYAL you are required to be an active staker assigned to a team.

To start, anyone that Retweets a “Royal” tweet from the RSOP Twitter handle will earn ROYAL! This is a great way to earn while promoting the project and our messaging!

**What is a ROYAL Tweet?**

Royal Tweets are specific tweets we think should be amplified on Twitter. Royal Tweets will include the ability to earn Royal + RLP and will be identified with the following emoji followed by the number of ROYAL + RLP awarded;

**👑 x1
👑 x2
👑 x5**

Moving forward, the “crown” emoji will only be included in Royal Tweets with the x indication to illustrate the number of ROYAL + RLP to be distributed. 

1. Royal + RLP will only be given to Retweets of a post within the first 48 hours (subject to change). 

2. Royal + RLP may take up to 10 minutes to be awarded to participating accounts. 

We are thrilled at the incredible new mechanic, and another way for our community to engage and help promote RSOP! 

**Retweet this tweet to test the NEW feature!**https://twitter.com/royalsocietyop/status/1602802443213017089?s=46&t=5Y2LBCop2oIv69h5pGecaw

**Additional Update**

Great news! Starting today, anyone who receives $Royal via the RSOP Daily Royal Gift Twitter Bot, will also receive the equal amount of RLP for their team, assuming they are staking RSOP Cards! @everyone

Hearing tangible rumors that Binance may be pausing withdrawals - I hate to ping @everyone, but in the chance this is real, I strongly suggest that you remove ALL crypto off the exchange. It’s very easy to return it back in a week or a month. The upside of preserving your capital is much greater than the downside of somehow getting caught in a liquidity trap and having it be gone forever. I hope I’m wrong, but would rather share the warning. Stay safe!

Thank you to community member @​stanstan25 who was the first to support the Royal Donation Wallet. I've gone ahead and also made a donation. Hope others consider doing so as well.

**<:RSOP:876305954147274832> ROYAL Distribution & New Teams <:RSOP:876305954147274832>**

Happy Sunday Players! We are delighted to announce that ROYAL earned from November’s competitive staking period has been successfully airdropped to all participating users! 

Furthermore, the grace period between the end of a staking period and the beginning of another, otherwise known as “The Shuffle” has now ended with users being allocated new teams. If you haven’t already, check which team you’ve been allocated here - https://www.royalsociety.io/leaderboard

Finally, I’d like to thank those that tested the RSOP bot feature, we will be selecting a handful of tweets to win 10 ROYAL/RLP shortly.  @everyone

Like last time, ROYAL covers the cost of the Physical Deck, you just need to pay for Shipping based on quantity and destination. Therefore, you need to complete these TWO STEPS to complete your order:

> 
> **2.** Separately, you will also need to checkout on Shopify = which generates the appropriate shipping label for your order: https://shoproyalsocietyofplayers.com/. Please be sure to "purchase" the same amount from Shopify as you’ve purchased in the ROYAL Marketplace.
> 
> **2A. IMPORTANT** please enter your Royal Platform Username in the "Company" section of the checkout so we can verify orders. You can locate your Royal Platform Username by selecting the "blue book" on the right after you enter the Royal Platform. Orders will not be shipped if there is no Royal Platform Username as we can’t verify them for shipping.

To recap, once you purchase the quantity of Decks you’d like through the Royal Marketplace (buys of one at a time within the Royal Platform, max 5), please go to Shopify (https://shoproyalsocietyofplayers.com) to pay for shipping and complete your order with the same quantity of Decks, and include your Royal Platform Username in the “Company” section of the checkout.

**Royal Society | Team Update - Crystal (CJ) **

It is with a heavy heart that we share that our beloved Crystal will be departing Royal Society over the coming few days, and returning back to her Web2 job. Crystal has been an invaluable friend and peer for the past year+ and has driven numerous strategic and operational improvements. We are forever indebted to her for her commitment and dedication, and she leaves behind a true legacy of impact and excellence.

I wanted to transparently share a little more insight and context, and make the same information available to the community. Crystal and I recently had an honest conversation about how I’m seeing things unfold in our macro sector (NFT / Crypto) and I shared that I think it’s likely going to get worse, before it’s going to get better. That includes the recent FTX/DCG/Genesis news which seems to have introduced even more volatility in the near term.

While it’s certainly difficult losing a valued team member, I would like to assure the community that we are otherwise operating business as usual. Our our team is comfortably able to staff and resource internally to ensure smooth continuity, and no change in our commitment to continue building and delivering on our extensive product roadmap.

Join me in extending Crystal our warmest wishes as she embarks on this next phase of her professional career and growth. @everyone

<a:twitter:890873071253221377> **RSOP Twitter Bot is now LIVE!!** <a:twitter:890873071253221377> 

We're excited to announce that the RSOP Twitter Bot is now live. During the 48 hour testing period (commencing from now until Friday the 2nd at 5pm EST) Players will have the ability to Send 1 ROYAL per day through twitter. 

We encourage @everyone to connect link their twitter accounts to the RSOP platform and test the feature by sending ROYAL to a user they believe needs to know more about RSOP! The team will keep a look out for some of the most inventive $ROYAL tweets and will reward winning users with 10 RLP to give their teams a early lead in next months competitive staking period. 

**How to Send ROYAL:**

__Step 1:__ Visit https://royalsociety.io/royal and enter your Twitter handle in the Royal Accounts blue book on the right as you enter the Royal Platform, no need to include the @.

__Step 2:__ Include the tag $ROYAL and @RoyalSocietyOP as well as a friends twitter handle of your choosing in any tweet. For example: GM @MrPinkNFT have some $ROYAL @RoyalScietyOP. If more than one twitter handle is present then it will only take the first one mentioned. The twitter handle due to receive ROYAL does not need to be an existing RSOP platform user. They will receive their ROYAL upon sign up. 

Users will not be debited for ROYAL sent. All ROYAL will be generated from a house wallet and distributed directly to the recipient. This feature is only currently for ROYAL. Users cannot send/receive RLP through twitter. 

During the initial period users can only send 1 ROYAL per day (00:00:00 UTC - 23:59:59 UTC), any additional tweets with the specified tags will not count. 

**How to Receive ROYAL:***

__Step 1:__ Login or create a royal account by visiting the platform here: https://royalsociety.io/royal to receive your reward (If you have already connected your twitter handle then you will receive the reward upon login).

**Conclusion**

We hope the introduction of this feature will enable us to share and distribute ROYAL to a larger user base who may otherwise be unfamiliar with the RSOP ecosystem. Think OCM and $bananas. To coincide with the roll out of the RSOP Twitter Bot we will also make additional strides to detail the functionality of ROYAL, how it's earned and how it can be used so every time a user clicks on the $ROYAL tag they are welcomed to a thread detailing what they can do with their newly received gift!

🙏**RSOP Treasury | A Year End Donation/Gifting Wallet**🙏

In recognition of Giving Tuesday today, and tax harvesting season around the corner, we wanted to offer the community an opportunity to “give back” with any Crypto Dust and/or low value NFTs you may have accumulating in your wallets.

We have created this specific wallet for donation purposes: 

0xDC8aCc858E5E01c0aD690f375Ff94AbF6Dc07357

Many of you may have crypto “Dust” (small / random crypto from exotic airdrops or meme coins). Similarly, many of you may be sitting on NFTs that were once valued for more, and today are unfortunately valued at less.

Last year, we remember that many people were looking for solutions to “tax harvest” and book sales at $0 so you could bank the tax benefit. We are not tax professionals and can’t assure you this would be the case for you, however, if you wanted to gift/donate these assets to the RSOP Treasury it could potentially assist your accounting with tax loss harvesting. 

*Please do not send “junk” NFTs that are spammed in your hidden folder, that does not constitute a donation.

We make no promises in terms of benefits or utility for doing this - it would simply be a voluntary gift or donation, however maybe we do a small something in the future for anyone who wishes to be generous.

In consultation with the Treasury Committee and based on how much is accumulated, we will then consider either doing something charitable and/or making sure the benefits go towards the Royal community.
Thank you for considering doing this, in what we hope can be a win-win for all. @everyone

🤖**Coming Soon! The Royal Society Twitter Bot!**🤖

In our continued promise to deliver new ways for our community to communicate and connect with each other, we have created an incredible new Twitter bot!

Starting in December, the RSOP Community will be able to send ROYAL from the RSOP Deployer Wallet via Twitter to any other Twitter user! 

We are thrilled our community can send daily tokens of gratitude and appreciation to their friends, other RSOP members, and/or people you love and respect across web3! What a great opportunity to share ROYAL with anyone on Twitter and introduce them to our community! 

+To participate, users will be required to add their Twitter handle to the Royal Platform: https://www.royalsociety.io/royal. Anyone can be rewarded ROYAL, but must create an account on the Royal Platform to claim and for those who already have an account this will be automatic.

This technology was fully developed in house by our amazing dev team. In time, this means we will also be able to further develop and incorporate this tool in a number of exciting ways to increase rewards, engagement, and awareness.

More information coming soon on the Royal Twitter bot launch date and details! @everyone 

Have an amazing Thanksgiving to those celebrating that holiday! 🦃
