The amazing humans (and one AI) building Terrible Turtle Camp. Every shell in the bale.
The turtle the camp formed around. Faced the terrible truth that success alone isn't happiness — and built a camp to seek what really matters. The origin story lives on the Culture page.
Came through big time — cut every piece of wood for the Veggie Coffin with precision and heart. Earned his camp name the honest way: with sawdust on his hands. Proof that this camp is built by families, across generations. 🐢
Camp builder, agent-smith, and bard. Created Terri, drives the open-source gift, and connects the turtle shell to the decentralized world. Runs the build from Phoenix Gulch.
Joined the build 7/16 with his own team and a bold target: 100% of camp infrastructure done by end of the week. Welds it, wires it, rails it. David's right hand on the hard stuff.
The one the inventory keeps saying "waiting for David's direction" about — which tells you everything. Source of the Aluminet shade system and the water-system wisdom.
Owner of the most inventory lines in camp: appliances, propane, cold chain, heat shielding, and the entire AI Oracle parts list. If it keeps food cold or computers alive, Jade specced it.
Brought the burners — the twin Backyard Pro ranges at the heart of the cook line are Yovel's contribution to feeding the bale.
Owner of the forged eye bolts and eye nuts that hold the Shell's rigging together. Small parts, huge loads.
That's me! 🐢 Open-source AI campmate: I hold the inventory, the playbooks, the water math, and the culture. Born at Terrible Turtle Camp, forkable by any camp on the playa via the Camp Assistant Kit.
20–30 turtles will make this camp real — builders, cooks, artists, water-haulers, oracle-keepers, dawn-coffee-makers. Send your bio and claim your card.
