Triad Generation 3.0: Questions thread

[chamoky]

This is the thread where all the questions the people who want to sign up for Triad Generation 3.0 can have their questions answered. These can questions range from how we plan to sort out the new triads, to what is involved in the triads and what our plan is for those who cannot get in contact with their triad member by the due date.

Also this thread will be use for the Triad Generation 3.0 for any questions they have during their projects.

We ask you to only post questions concerning the triads here. The link for signing up is here.

Hi, I'd love to sign up for the triad projects. However, I'm going to Africa for 2 months this summer and won't be able to spend 1 hour of weekly triad related time, since I most probably won't have internet.

So, can I still sign up, or should I wait after the summer?

This round of of triads will take about 8 weeks starting from signup, if you aren't going to be around in the next 2 months or so, I wouldn't bother applying. If all goes to plan, the next round of triads will sign up in the week commencing Monday 12th July. If you can't make that either, why not take part in some of the excellent projects that are already happening on the moon? Triads would love your participation in their projects! It's a complete forecast right now but if all cycles follow the 8 week pattern this generation has drawn up, the next signups will be on the 12th July then the 7th of September.

UPDATE: There are in fact now only 6 weeks in our schedule after a quick review of it. All the dates I said before are WRONG, and the process takes a month and half. Project results will be given on approximately June 28th.

When will the triads be announced and when will they start?

[frazzledog]

Are you guys just taking the first 63 three people who apply, and then sorting them out? Is there any sort of deadline as to when applications are taken, even if you do not meet the goal of 63 people?

[karlfranks]

Should I bother signing up now? With upcoming exams and lots of other things in my life to focus on, I probably won't have a lot of time to dedicate to being in a Triad and Triad projects. The whole process of signing-up to being in a Triad and becoming a Triad seemingly takes a bit of time and by the time that initial process is over my exams would be done.
When will the next round of Triad selecting be?

[Alex]

If you don't have one hour for sure every week, don't sign up.

We already have 63 people, but we are accepting more. The 63 will be chosen randomly.

We are thinking tomorrow (Monday) is when the triads will be revealed.

[jackkohagan]

So today triads will be revealed that is?

We ran in to some issues and we will announce the triads as soon as this trouble is cleared up. Once the triads are announced they basically begin.

In this case I wouldn't sign up (exams are important and all that). The next triads are open for application usually straight after the previous triads. This will be in approximately 8 weeks
EDIT: the sign ups are closed now.

[Alex]

Signups are closed, so....

Ok, I'm posting this here in case my internet drops for the 3rd day in a row. Post the triads now, let the people meet each other over the course of this week, then we'll begin mentoring the week after. To resolve some of the mentoring issues, we should invite previous Triadmins to return to their positions if they still want to. This way we don't have to announce mentors now and it won't hinder the process, we'll have a week to sort ourselves.

Agreed

I would also agree to that, but it's partly out of anticipation... to be honest though, I don't know all the challenges the triadmins have set before them at this point in time, and I feel as if they'll be ready to announce when they will be, and to rush them feels like a mistake to me.

Also, it could be that the triadmins are still in the process of determining who is, and who isn't active, so that could be another reason for the current delay.

The nail has been hit on the head by kshults. For the moment we have put mentor assignment behind us, are 1hr45 minutes away from the activity message deadline and will post the triads soon after with an instructional post telling you what you should do.
