The time has come. We have our triads for the third generation. The process started by finding people for triads. 100 people applied, but only 89 got in before the cutoff. Now, I PMed all the 89 people to find out who was active. Those who replied got a chance at being in a triad. 10 people entered their name incorrectly or they put their display name into the application. They were left out. 79 people got this PM, and 35 replied. One person was late. Sadly, to make it even, we still had to cut a person. I used a random number generator, and got 15. So I went down to the 15th slot on the list and that person was removed. We now have 11 triads, not 21. The 15th slot and the late person are top priority in generation 3.5 if we have to make it. Now, we renumbered the system. It is GENERATION.TRIAD NUMBER. So Triad 87 for generation 64 would be 64.87. Also, 2.5 triads will be 2.5.1 or 2.5.2 and so on. Now onto the triads. Here they are: 3.1-cooltiger413 -snow11 -shelby 3.2-shinigami345 -standalone3 -kspons 3.3-franticprodigy -kreacherxluver -metallica210 3.4-marcy -kevak96 -rorysbarnes 3.5-yokailo -charlaine -erin132 3.6-redshibi -fyriia -porknbeans 3.7-thelastcow -ducttapepogouser -robertcshepley 3.8-nancie -eagle2160 -morbidbarbie 3.9-sc2416 -jaytee202 -kathrynnicole 3.10-kshults -shpickle67 -tulae 3.11-karlfranks -alpharoy09 -frazzledog Okay, good luck to you guys! Here is the thread explaining what you must do: Gen 3 Week 2: MEET YOUR NEW TRIADEES!

Am I the only person who finds this system wildly exclusive? I always thought that we were here on the moon to change the world and work together. It shocks me that people are rejected so eagerly, and without apology. Of the 100 people who applied, only 33 got to be in tribes. Instead of expanding the system in a tiered pyramid, we seem more content to keep it small and "easy". Round 2.0 finished (eventually, via 2.5) with a 38% success rate, leaving 7 successful triads who could lead this batch for Round 3.0. Even given the chances to build upon the system that had taught them, there is still talk of a possible "Round 3.5". If we harvest triads at a similar percentage this round (and there is no reason to believe that we wouldn't, because Round 2 are just as human as Round 1), Round 4 will be led by a meagre 4 triads. I can't be the only one who thinks that this is the wrong way to be heading as a triad system, can I? I look forward to seeing what people have to say about this.

Well, I'd rather have 11 active triads than 21 with 12 non active. Also, the more triads you have, the more projects. The more projects, the more some get shut out. The more that get shut out, the more projects that don't succeed. They might not fail, but they won't reach their goals.
Dan advertised triads right before this round. Many newbies will come, sign up, and never come back again. We can't have that.

I know there was talks on suggesting a system where triads would be formed around three people with common ideas rather than just putting them toghether by random... whatever happened to that?

The majority of the mentors actually present voted against it. If you are a mentor who wanted it, maybe you should have been there.

Well, I'd rather have 11 active triads than 21 with 12 non active. Seems like a false dilemma. Perhaps the original 100 users would have created more than 11 active projects between them. Can you even guarantee that these 33 will stay active throughout? If not, why chance it by minimising selection? Also, the more triads you have, the more projects. The more projects, the more some get shut out. The more that get shut out, the more projects that don't succeed. They might not fail, but they won't reach their goals. Maybe so, but doesn't more projects also mean more people actively working towards success? Surely the better projects would rise to the top by the way they were created and advertised on the forums. A lot like the "cream of the crop"... Dan advertised triads right before this round. Many newbies will come, sign up, and never come back again. We can't have that. Firstly, he advertised the triading process on his channel, and asked for video responses. We probably got an influx, but it would have been from new users excited to make a difference and succeed. By cutting them out of the equation, perhaps we are the reason they might never come back...

By cutting them out of the equation, perhaps we are the reason they might never come back... To my knowledge, they were sent private messages or e-mails asking to confirm that they volunteered by a certain date if they wish to be part of the process. They weren't deliberately left out. They were given a chance to stay in the volunteer process. The mentors were trying to overcome the problem those of us who ran round 2 encountered: that of inactive folks signing up and destroying a good amount of triads simply by not coming back after the initial sign up. At the time, we literally looked over so many profiles with a "last login date" of the day they volunteered for triads. These triadmins were trying to get that problem out of the way before it started.

@speedyreedy Two things. Firstly, there are like, 2, 3, possibly 4 if I'm generous, Triadmins running the show here. Small number; not all views get aired; not everyone's online all the time. Please bear with us on this generation, it's quite difficult. Secondly, you claim we will have the same failure rate as before. This (I'm calling this now) will not happen. We have filtered the triads into time zone groups for easy access and filtered out the triads that will fail on the spot. Those that didn't respond to our messages for activity failed to turn up on the moon on the day triads are announced. That's not a great show of commitment. If we'd had 33 triads, so so many projects would have been swept under the rug. There'd also have been about 1 mentor to 6 triads. Bad times.
@linus That would have taken a lot more organisation. We're already a day late with announcements and we just wanted this to get underway. Some people might not have known what they wanted to do and there would have been no way of universally collecting the information without withdrawing all applications given in at the time.

He talked about triads and south pole of the moon. Many people don't know about it. They arrived, saw triading, and signed right on up. Now they have no idea what the triading actually was. Maybe they thought it was for his video one. Never think everyone watching Dan Brown pays a lot of attention.
