Proposal: Test out DAO Governance Framework (DGF) with the gaming community. ie. speedrunning community, WoW, pokemon etc.

Inspiration: Twitch Plays Pokemon[1]

Question: Without a treasury, how would a DAO be setup for acute problems? I'm not saying we need a big treasury, I just don't see how the DAO being totally illiquid is practical, vs. ideal. Especially, if the DAO gets more powerful/influential, I don't know how it would handle all of the different attacks without a treasury. Just as there is social redundancy in a decentralized organization, maybe it also needs financial redundancy/inefficiencies as well for survival?

Context: Reputation tokenomics tries to eliminate treasuries all together and have all incentives pushed to long-term/delayed payment/gratification. DGF focuses on values of stability and the long-term thinking, but DGF will need inevitably face unexpected situations so not investing in the build up of a treasury seems tenuous.
