Happy Sunday PIZZA crew!

It has been another wild week over in the PIZZA community! So much so, I did not get around to writing two posts again this week! I think you'll understand why after reading through some of these updates! With that being said, I'm ready to finally introduce our community post and begin expanding on some of the community-based aspects of PIZZA that some of you may be missing out on! This post will be more focused around project updates while the community update will be more focused around the community! Saucy!

Witness Update

• Rank: 63/60
• We increased our overall rank again week over week improving from 13,590M to 13,592M Approval (MV). Thank you for believing in the PIZZA project, our community, and the vision we have for building here at HIVE!
  
  

BANG! Defense Partnership Announcement

• We are very excited to announce our partnership with Bang! Defense, an upcoming NFT Pixel based-game built on the HIVE blockchain!
  
  
  An excerpt from BANG! Defense:

"BANG! defense is a new branded P2E tower defense game built entirely on the HIVE blockchain. Developed by a new talented dev @choof in partnership with the @hashkings team offering a completely new and personalized experience in each match!"

"Bang Bang Defense is a shooter game where players must defend their tower from waves of enemies. Throughout a match, players can use money dropped from enemies to upgrade their weapons. Players can also win rewards and collect NFT Gun Skins just by playing!"

• Alongside our acquisition of assets across several games, we have been working hard in the background to bring more use-cases and earning opportunities to PIZZA holders through gaming. As you should know by now, PIZZA has built a strong Scholarship program in partnership with @hashkings. Liuke, who is behind the operation over at Hash Kings, has stated "Hashkings is building blockchain gaming experiences for the HIVE community". We will continue to look for ways for our community and for the Hash Kings metaverse to work together!
  
  
• When the game launches, players will be able to use PIZZA tokens to craft/obtain keys that will be used for various items.
• Alongside keys, holders can expect PIZZA to be included as a currency when purchasing initial sale packs.

• This is another strong value proposition for PIZZA and HIVE. We believe it will further strengthen our partners over time by onboarding more off-chain (and on-chain) users. We have built a home for gamers to play games and where developers can find both Alpha/Beta Testing assistance through our Scholar program and exposure to their game or projects through our vetted partnership program.

• We are getting close to 4,000 guild members and show no signs of slowing down. If you know of a project or game that is coming to HIVE blockchain that you think should be partnered with us, please have them reach out!

1UP Partnership Updates

• This past week we upgraded our manual curation bot to temporarily include 1UP tokens alongside the PIZZA slices that are normally staked to you when we manually upvote your post from the @hive.pizza curation account! We've added 500 1UP tokens to the pool and will be dispersing these over the next few weeks to awesome posts that we find across the HIVE blockchain (this is in addition to the 1UP rewards you already receive from our curation account)!
• We've wrapped up the PIZZA/1UP-CARTEL GIF competition and will be announcing winners on Friday when we announce our new Hash Kings Scholars!
• The PIZZA:ONEUP diesel pool is currently 158.738% at the time of this post! You can earn some pretty outstanding daily rewards by providing liquidity to the pool! If you have questions about getting started, feel free to let us know in the Discord server or in the comments below!
• If you are not already using the https://www.1up.zone/ front-end to write your gaming posts, we highly recommend checking it out! We have dedicated channel in our Discord community for 1UP front-end posts to assist us in finding them for manual curation!

Beatz Chain Curation Partnership Update

• Outside of @polarmystro and the @beatzchain account itself, the @hive.pizza curation account is a top 5 BEATCZ holder. BeatzChain is a tribe and front-end dedicated to music production/creation. As a producer of beats myself, I'm excited to say that we are beginning to see more BEATCZ activity over in the PIZZA discord server! We're excited for you guys to get in on one of my freestyle production sessions with the community!

• In addition to holding BEATCZ we also curate posts using the tag! We want to extend a special thank you to @polarmystro for delegation an addition 1,000,000 BEATCZ tokens ontop of the over 500,000 tokens we already have staked. We will be using this delegation to ramp up our BEATCZ curation and to reward our HIVE muscians!

WOO Partnership and Sale Reminder

• We wanted to take a moment to remind everyone about the @wrestorgonline game NFT pack sale coming up on 3/16 at 7am EST!
• PIZZA will be building a Scholarship program for WOO and will be working with Booker Man on some future items that will roll out for PIZZA within the Wrestling Organization Online game world!
• For those who don't know, you will be able to purchase cards and packs using your PIZZA tokens, so get them ready!
