Cagendas

Cagendas is an exciting new game where communities can have fun while allocating time more effectively!

The Eden community has been deliberating to find the best ways to set agendas for discussions and proposals during weekly meetings. I propose that we play a game of Cagendas to help the community cooperate during the hour after breakout rooms. Cagendas can provide structure for Eden and other communities to guide discussions, process proposals, and coordinate all sorts of group activities in real-time.

Please note that this idea is a work in progress in an early stage of development and will be updated soon.

This article is organized into the following sections:

The original version of Cagendas can be simply summarized in the following four steps:

1) Propose agenda items for five minute time slots. Anyone can propose an agenda item for a five minute time slot on Consortium.

2) Vote for agenda items. Anyone can vote for agenda items with respect points that they’ve earned during weekly meetings.

3) At the end of each five minute interval, whichever agenda item receives the most votes will be focus of community discussion for the next five minutes.

4) The game ends after one hour and the respect points for all players are replenished back to prior voting power at the end of each game.

Any community can play Cagendas to allocate shared time according to the will of community members and facilitate great experiences. More than ever before, communities are now empowered to understand the desires of each community member and structure group activities with enjoyment, productivity, and efficiency. More coming soon!

Anyone can play Cagendas with any scoresheet of any game. You don’t need anything other than your imagination or some agreed upon scorecard to use for votes.

That being said, Cagendas is uniquely enabled by the powers of EOS, Eden+Fractal, ƒractally, Consortium, and Cignals…. so communities like Eden ƒractal are in a perfect position to start playing Cagendas first!

Vlad and Jesse provided the following feedback, which you can read in the notes on the right side of the mindmap below:

There are different types of Cagendas games, similar to how there are multiple types of poker or different game modes in video games.

There are currently two game modes for Cagendas. In addition to the original game mode described above, communities can also play a different type of Cagendas game called Vlalendas. You can learn about Vlalendas here.

Vlalendas is a type of Cagendas game that is optimized for Eden Fractal weekly meetings.

You can think of Vlalendas as a Cagendas game mode (ie classic, arcade, campaign, etc) or a variant of Cagendas (ie draw poker, seven-card stud poker, Texas Hold’em Poker, etc). Like all other potential variations of Cagendas, Vlalendas helps communities create agendas.

Vlalendas emerged as a result of feedback about Cagendas from Vlad and Jesse during the first Eden Fractal Brainstorming Session, an exploration of Vlad’s vision, and a thorough review of Lennie’s proposal.

There are two key differences between Vlalendas and the original version of Cagendas.

1) Vlalendas enables communities to vote for topics in the week before meetings, whereas the original version of Cagendas enabled communities to vote in real-time.

2) Vlalendas provides more flexibility for community councils to deliberate proposals for as much time as they see fit, whereas the original version of Cagendas divided time into discrete five minute intervals.

You can learn more about Vlalendas in this article, which includes:

We are creating several new articles to further explore the potential of Cagendas. You can view these draft articles in early stages of development below. These articles will be vastly refined and updated in the future.

Please note that this page is a work in progress in early stages of development and will be updated soon.

Communities can cooperate more effectively by creating an agenda for group activities. Communities are pioneering new ways to create agendas together to maximize benefit for all!

Vlalendas is a system to help communities create agendas, allocate time amongst priorities, and choose discussion topics. Cagendas helped inspire Vlalendas.

Opinions that help us cooperate! Cignals help communities know what people are thinking, get a feel for the room, and measure consensus.

A powerful voting application that helps communities make decisions, signal their opinions, and measure consensus. Cagendas is powered by Consortium.

A fun, innovative, and revelatory consensus process that helps communities cooperate for mutual benefit. Complements nicely with Cagendas!

Decentralized, autonomous movie studios. An innovative, wonderful way for communities to collaborate and make awesome videos while playing Cagendas!
