Forwarded from The Martian (i will NOT dm you first)
Ok everyone, here are my thoughts on the current situation and a proposal how to move forward from here.

Status:
1. Most of the original team has left. Only remaining members are me and Joy. We also have ozgur who joined later and is still around.

2. We do have some reserves in the treasury (160 bnb) and the deployer tokens.

3. We do NOT have a steady revenue stream at the moment as there is low trading volume.

4. Most of the things Ken worked on (and to be clear, was paid handsomely) are not finished, not working or in between.


Why are we here:
1. Management mistakes: specifically myself, I paid enormous amounts of money for essentially nothing. Work was late, never delivered or of bad quality. I failed to stop this earlier and for that I apologize.

2. Dishonest team members: as I said before, 90% of the original team scammed us for funds in some way or another, or tried to. I've tried to always forgive & forget, but this only lead them to try to scam more and when the money ran out, they left.

3. Lack of my personal involvement: due to personal reasons, I'm unable to work full time on the project. Moreso as there is no income stream and I don't want to sell tokens and hurt the price (feel free to check on-chain when this last happened).

4. Lack of community support: while in the first months or year of the project we had an amazing community, it slowly winded down. People working together for the common goal became a stream of "wen exchange", "wen burn", i.e. only demands, with no involvement. We currently have about 100 people who answered the "are you still here" poll. I'm not blaming anyone here, just stating the facts.


What do we do from here?

After a lot of thinking, I've come to the conclusion the only way out is through community and hard work! We should go back to our roots, when the project started. That's when ideas flowed, stuff happened and the project thrived. We need that back.

To that end, I'm proposing SafeMars Grants. ANYONE who has an idea how to help the project AND is willing to execute it AND has clear/measurable success metrics AND accepts payment-on-delivery / payment-for-results, can write it here or DM me. The way it'll work is:
1. We discuss idea, timeline, success metrics and price
2. We create a poll for the community to vote on (I'll still retain veto vote, e.g. if 100 people vote for "use the whole treasury to list on BitFart" I won't do it)
3. The originator executes
4. If the execution is successful, I pay it out

Possible ideas and deliverables:
- finish the game and nft marketplace, deliverables: working game and website live
- facelift website, deliverables: the facelifted website
- marketing campaign wherever, deliverables: project mcap increases by x%
- CEO job, deliverables: project mcap reaches X or Y

You'll notice that using this model, the CEO job is simply another idea. Do we need a CEO? Maybe, but in the end it doesn't matter if we need a CEO or not, if someone (e.g. ozgur) is willing to take the job AND define some success metrics AND agree on pay-on-delivery we can do it.

Using the model proposed above, we make sure that we ONLY spend the treasury money for things which actually bring real, measurable value to the project.

If this works out, it should create a positive flywheel: successful project -> value -> more investors -> more volume -> more in treasury -> we can finance more projects -> more value -> ...

Consider the SafeMars Grants live! Feel free to come up with ideas AND a plan AND deliverables for them (if you propose something that's missing one of these parts, it'll get ignored). Let's come together as a community and bring SafeMars back!

(note: I will propose some ideas myself, but remember, under this model I'm just a person, like any of you; anyone can propose and hopefully people do, because if the community is waiting again on 1 or 2 individuals to get things back on track, we're already doomed)
As you already know, Ken has decided to step down from the position of CEO.

Some members of the community have asked for someone else to be appointed in his place, with Ozgur being a candidate.

Since we are a community project, Ozgur is hereby named CEO.

HOWEVER...

I want again (as in the previous announcement) to be extra clear that the CEO title is simply one idea to move the project forward and DOES NOT have any privileges compared to other ideas. Any proposals put forward by the CEO must still work within the Grant framework: idea, plan, success metrics, execution. The CEO will not have special access to the treasury funds or to some secret developer team.

We had the CEO model in the past, which WAS a privileged position, and to be honest it didn't work out great. So as outlined in the previous post, we're now switching to a more agile approach where anyone and everyone's invited.

We will do stuff in the open, post in the main Mars chat, discuss, debate and vote together. There is no more private team chat or anything like that. It's now up to the community (which includes myself) to get together and push. I will support and finance, out of the treasury (and dev tokens), all initiatives which push the project forward within the described framework, but the initiatives themselves must be self-driven, by the CEO, by myself or by any community member. Do, don't ask!

That being said, good luck Ozgur in your role and let's all support him the best we can! ๐Ÿ’ช
As a first action to start our new working model on a positive note, taxes have been reduced to ZERO (for a limited time)!

That's right, you can now transact SafeMars on PancakeSwap (v1) with no taxes.

Enjoy!
Update information

Friends, due to the negative opinions about the game, we have prepared our new suggestions and we continue search for new developers. Meanwhile, we worked on a project that could generate revenue for Safemars in the medium-long term. and we will present you today. We will continue on our way according to the voting result. I expect everyone to read this file and vote.
Game update: v1 updates have been implemented and tested, some bugs were found and now fixed.

Next is testing round 2 and after we're satisfied everything runs smoothly, we'll publish the game for the community to try as well.
Reminder, our taxes are still 0/0 ๐Ÿ˜œ
The playable version of the game is ready and will be uploaded to the website asap. We will announce it here when you can try it out.
