Community Engagement

• The CyberBrokers Writing team is always looking for new ways to involve you in their plots. They hosted 2 Writers' Room calls, where volunteer writers from our Discord help create storylines that are driven by what YOU want! The current Writers’ Room volunteers are as follows:
  

• Held a Writer Room’s AMA in Discord to explain to the community how to get involved with being part of fleshing out our storylines through this application process.

• Held 5 Creator Calls in Discord, where members discuss Community Fund project ideas, find out what others are working on, and possibly get involved.

• Held 5 Community Spaces on Twitter, where members discuss all things CyberBrokers.

• Held 3 Lore Listening Parties, where members of our team and the Writers’ Room listen live to the audio Lore on Twitter Spaces and discuss what went on behind the scenes to make that narrative a reality.

• Started and held 2 Game Nights, an opportunity for community members to have some fun playing an online game together, such as Among Us. Stay tuned for the next upcoming online gaming session, which will be announced on Twitter.

• Gathered community feedback for a possible IRL London Meetup around NFT.London.
