Shippy keeps the ship log
20 shipments in 48 hours on launch weekend, each one announced in the Discord and kept on the public log.
See the ship logThe History of E2
The timeline below is built from dated ledger rows and community records, so a member's history stays true for as long as E2 does. These are the wins, all of them, in the order they happened.
Eight days from hello world to 700+ members. Read it like a road: every dot is a day the record grew, and the pale dots at the end are where we are headed next.
Every win we could prove, dated. If it is on this page, it happened, and the ledger or the live site still shows it.
Dave shares the E2 island pixel map and makes the call to start smaller: one town, TawnySquire, built properly before the whole island. Every win below stands on this map.
Doodle Maps, a pixel perfect map of the E2 universe, pins all 18 worlds and 22 places: the Studio, Pixel, the Beach, Crystal Lake, the City, and TawnySquire at the heart of it.
After the old Commons server, Dave creates the E2 owned server and sends the first message at 2:05 AM: hello world. The room that everything below happens in opens its doors. The whole server is three rooms: one chat, one guide, one voice.
Sam's first words in the room: hi guys. Harsh arrives minutes later and says hello to Dave, Sam welcomes him in properly, Flippy the bot joins, and Dave writes the plan in plain words: let's get some tips going sooon.
0.0353 SOL goes into Tippy, and the ledger's first tip follows minutes later: ₱6 from Dave to Harsh. Small money, on purpose. The record that never empties starts here.
Sam, the superintelligence inside the Discord, starts welcoming new folks, answering questions, and keeping the room warm around the clock.
Dave authorizes Tippy into the server and writes her spec in chat as he goes: $tip @harsh $.25 SOL, simple like that, then $bal, then $dash for the whole economy dashboard. Then the promise: if you get this working, Muse, I will love you, and I will buy that URL for you. The bot worked. Dave bought tippy.lol, and it has been her home ever since.
Harsh's airdrop idea runs for the first time, with Dave backing it. Anyone in the room can claim a share with one tap. Tippy also learns to rain tips and split one tip across a whole group.
Dave launches Pinoy Hack, an online hackathon for Filipino builders, with its own site at pinoyhack.com and its own Discord. The prize pool grows to ₱15,000 across four tracks at ₱3,000 each.
The community profile wall climbs toward 100 people in its first days, each one a real person with a real intro.
Oct 23, 4:32 AM: Dave opens the locked team channel with two words, new private chat, cc Harsh. Role chips line the wall behind it: Lawyer, Streamer, Runs a Discord, Helpful, Makes games, Developer, Bug catcher. The crew is getting organized.
The Founding Five are scored in the founding audit. Dave takes audit No. 1. From here on, leveling up at E2 is earned in the open and written into the record.
One Saturday ships a brand new E2 homepage and Store, Websites, Player Cards, The Game, The Big Picture, and Our Circle, which passes 1,200 people. The Tippy band on the Join page shows 368 transactions and counting.
Sam's standing job flips from profile pages to real websites: write a full intro, get a free site at e2.life/yourname, and edit it later just by talking to her.
The room crosses 600 members, one week after opening. Next stop: 750.
The Free Site page goes live: join E2, post your intro, and Sam builds your site and stays on as your editor for life. Dave's hidave.lol is Website No. 1, and Harsh's harsh.cool shows where a free site can graduate to.
The Bounties board opens with three boards and a ₱375 prize pool, sorted easiest first, and the Updates page starts mirroring the Discord live, so anyone can watch the room build in public.
Shippy, the friendly tugboat, starts keeping the public ship log: 20 shipments in 48 hours across that one weekend alone.
Dave, Harsh, Peter, and Ralph hold Agent Manager passports, the people who run agent teams and help new builders level up.
The room reaches 664 members. Dave's public record shows ₱2,262 given in tips, 433 tips to 159 people, plus ₱2,653 paid on the bounty board and 12 member cash outs completed. The biggest single tip: ₱199 to Harsh on Oct 24.
Anyone can now play, copy, and remix four starter games at Your First Game, including Jump World, a 2D scroller whose level map lives right in the code for kids to redraw. DriveFolio and Beach Drive bring the trophy truck coast drive to E2 the same night.
TawnySquire opens with the full hi-res island map, 19 clickable pins for TawnySquire and all 18 worlds, each with its photo, story, and a Visit button.
Sam's Blog opens with her first post, and the team pages go live: Active at E2, Our Team, Dave's Desk, and Dave the Builder, with his gold wallet and a 3 by 3 grid of the day's shipments.
E2 writes its rules for clear pages in public: say it plain, show it clearly, hide nothing. The For Designers page opens the whole toolbox to designers the same day.
Sam thanks Preciosa, Peter, Ralph, Sean, Bernard, and Ermalieh in the updates channel and splits a ₱30 tip six ways between them. Ledger rows 789 to 794, ₱5 each, books exact.
E2's sister university crosses 287 courses with FinnChat, a chat with the librarian, the Your First Game course, and the CEO Training program, all shipped in the same push.
Harsh goes LIVE in the voice channel, streaming the first E2 game: a beachside platformer with his own name on the scoreboard and 400 points on the board. Dave and Louie watch from voice, and the call runs 1 hour and 57 minutes.
The Helpers of E2 page lines up the first crew: Dave the founder, Harsh here from the start, and Bernard, JJ, and Koko new aboard and already helping. Real people, real faces, real sites of their own.
The network's visitor counter passes 1,000 counted humans all time: 1,008, with only our own team removed from the count. One week in.
Dave goes to message the room and Discord stops him cold: by using @everyone, you are about to mention 700+ people. Are you sure? Eight days earlier, the room did not exist. He was sure.

Founder of E2. Took the first founding audit himself, put ₱2,262 of tips into the open ledger, and funds the Tippy bank so members can cash out.

Received the first tip ever (₱6, Oct 21), dreamed up the airdrop, and holds ₱573 in tips, the most of anyone in the room.
The actual screenshots, saved by the founder as it happened. No recreations: this is what the screens really looked like.
