Dave + Harsh · The Working Plan
This is the game plan for how Dave and Harsh work best together over the next week: sign the agreement first, then Harsh takes the chair as CEO of the Arcade for seven days, with clear check-ins, a public scoreboard, and real pay at the end of it.
Step 1 · Before Day 0
One short agreement covers everything Harsh builds for E2, starting with Super E2 and Cricket Rush. It is written in plain English at the top, and the signing takes about two minutes.
What it says, in one breath: everything Harsh creates for E2 belongs to E2, permanently. The worlds, levels, characters, stories, art, look and feel, code, and names. E2 can use that work in any medium, now or in the future: video games, films, television and streaming, musicals and stage shows, books, comics, merchandise, and formats not invented yet. Work Harsh made entirely on his own stays his. The pay stated for each project is the full pay for that project. And if any piece ever could not be assigned outright, E2 holds a full, exclusive, permanent license to it instead, so there is never a gap.

How we work best together
Harsh owns the Arcade for the week. He sets the vision on Day 1, picks the daily big move, ships something visible every day, answers players in the Arcade channel the same day, kindly and the E2 way, and reports every night like an owner.
Dave hands over the keys on Day 0 and then stays out of the way. He is on call for only two kinds of calls: anything that spends E2 money, and anything that makes a promise to a player or a client. Everything else is Harsh's call, and Dave backs it.
Sam and the E2 Discord are the ops net: questions answered, posts amplified, the stream night promoted. Harsh asks for help in the open channel, not in private, so the whole room can see the Arcade moving.
Dave has already put $23 toward Harsh's Grok Bot (about ₹2,185 INR / ₱1,464 PHP), so Harsh starts the week equipped. No cost to Harsh, no setup debt. Use the bot as the Arcade's second brain: drafts, game ideas, copy, and quick builds.
Harsh cannot spend E2 money, promise discounts or outcomes, sign anyone, change a price for good, or remove anyone. Anything on that list goes in the morning plan, Dave answers fast, then Harsh moves. Everything else, Harsh just decides.
One visible ship a day and one honest report a night, even on the bad days. Especially on the bad days. A flat result reported honestly beats a quiet week every time, and it is what the base pay is for.
Step 2 · The CEO week
The mission, from the Become a CEO program: take the Arcade to the next level. Build a 3D world players can step into, launch new games, and run a live stream night the whole town shows up for. Dave confirms the exact start date with Harsh in Discord before Day 0, so both calendars are locked before the week begins.
A check-in with Dave before the week starts: Harsh gets the keys (the channel, the Arcade page, the scoreboard), last week's play numbers as the baseline, and the targets below locked in public. The signed agreement is already done by now.
Harsh runs an all hands in the Discord: his vision for the Arcade, his goals for the week, and how people can help. Then the first ship lands the same day.
One big move a day toward the scoreboard: the 3D world, the two new games, and building toward stream night. A short morning plan and an honest nightly report, every single day.
A short check-in halfway through: what shipped, what the numbers say, what is blocked, and what changes for the second half. Blockers get cleared here, not saved up for Day 7.
One evening during the week, Harsh hosts the Arcade live: players in, the tournament played through to its final, live. Promoted in the Discord ahead of time so the whole town can show up.
Harsh presents the week to the community: the vision, what shipped, what the numbers did, and what he would hand the next CEO. It goes on the World Feed, the review happens against the scoreboard below, and pay lands the same day.
The check-ins
These are the non-negotiables of the week. They are also the whole reporting job: three small posts a day at most, and two conversations with Dave.
Before the day's work, in the Discord: today's one big move, in one or two lines. If the day needs a money or promise call from Dave, it goes here, first thing.
Something a player can click: a world, a game, a fix, a post, an event. If a day truly ships nothing, the nightly report says so and says why.
All 7 nights, in the Discord, using the template below: shipped, numbers, money, blockers, tomorrow. Ten minutes, honest numbers, no polish needed.
Plus the two bookends: the Day 0 handover and the Day 7 presentation and review, both with Dave, plus the midweek check-in on Day 3 or 4. Miss a check-in, say so early. Life happens: tell Dave early and the week reschedules. Go quiet midweek with no word, and the week does not pay.
The daily blog
Harsh and his Grok Bot keep the Arcade's daily blog together. It is part of the CEO week, and it stays a standing daily job for as long as Harsh is working with E2: short, honest, and public, so anyone can watch the Arcade being built, day by day.
Every day of the CEO week, and every day after while Harsh works with E2, one post goes up before the nightly report: what shipped today, what he learned, and what comes tomorrow. The link goes into that night's report, so the blog and the report always match. A day that shipped nothing gets an honest post too.
Write it like Henry's blog: nice, simple, minimal. A white page, a plain title, a few honest paragraphs, a screenshot or photo when there is a real one, and nothing else. No hype, no clutter, no filler written to look busy. Less, but better.
Grok Bot does the legwork: notes from the day turned into a clean draft. Harsh edits it into his own voice, checks every fact, and approves it before it posts. Nothing goes up unread by Harsh, and the byline is his. His blog is live now in Henry's minimal format, and every post he writes lands there.
The pay
The same deal as every CEO week at E2, confirmed here in writing before the week starts, so there are no surprises for anyone.

The base (₹1,493 / ₱1,000) is for completing the week like a CEO, win or lose on the metrics. The bonus (₹746 / ₱500) pays only when the work is genuinely good, judged in the Day 7 review against the scoreboard on this page. Conversions use the October 25 rates ($1 = ₹95.00 / ₱63.63), rounded, and amounts are always shown INR first, then PHP, on this page.
After the week
If the Arcade grows under Harsh, he is first in line when it needs a longer paid role. A great CEO week is the audition, and the results are already public.
CEO of the Arcade on his E2 profile for his week, his name and real results presented to the whole community on the World Feed, and a written reference from Dave if he earns it.
The World Builder Agreement stays in force after the week: new games and worlds for E2, each with its own brief and its own pay agreed in writing before work starts, Super E2 and Cricket Rush first among them.
Sign the agreement, lock the start date with Dave in the Discord, and Day 0 we hand you the keys to the Arcade.
