Yay my triad passed! Anyway, a couple of us talked in skype, and we came to the following conclusion. Next round, All the candidates will be sorted into categories based on common interests, for exampe, there could be a graphic design catagorie, 6 candidates in the that group, from there, we group them together based on timezone, and they begin there project. I understand the wanted to group people with similar interests, but one thing I really like about the triad groupings is that you can get such a diverse group of people and interests. If everyone in the group likes the same things and is good at the same stuff you don't really feel special. As opposed to a group with a designer and a socialite and other things. However, the times zone part of it, definitely necessary [obviously].

Just keep in mind that some shared interests doesn't meant all shared interests.

Honestly, people. It really doesn't matter if people have shared interests if you want to make them bond. I think my best friend from the SPOTM is Jonathan, and we have no common interests at all - it just requires a healthy interest in whatever the other one's interest is. Sure, we can group them up, but that's just a lot of useless work, in my opinion. I'll let cooltiger explain to me in private what exactly the big WOW of his idea is, so this doesn't get too bashy.

Sure, Yokailo, that may work best for dyadic relationships, but in triadic relationships it's a bit different. There really has to be that common link to allow the relationship to develop. Typically, one person who has two dyadic relationships recognizes something about the two people to make the original person introduce the other two to each other. It's that reason that propels two dyadic relationships into one (much stronger) triadic relationship.

Okay. You have a good point That's the kind of points that make me see what the cool thing about this is, so that's cool I still don't think the triads can't work without this category-thing, but it could help keeping the people together afterwards. It doesn't help at all if people just can't be reached or decide not to commit to this, though. This should not be our main criterium when recruiting new people, is all I'm saying. We should try to find a way to decide on how to see if someone's committed enough first, before we can start thinking about what happens afterwards. We first must make triads work, before we help the triads that worked stay together. Does that make sense?

Right, yes. I agree that BOTH the "keeping together" and "getting together" parts are quite important and that (at least here) it seems that the "getting together" portion is giving us the most trouble.
There really does need to be a discussion about how to get folks that are actually committed and will not lost interest and disappear.

A lack of not really caring on my part, partly fuelled by the hands-off approach of the previous generation's triadmins towards helping out with this generation. The fact of the matter is, not everyone (read: barely anyone) wants to be a triadmin. The majority of the dedicated and motivated people were in the first generation. The first generation then blindly followed the words of our apparent lord saviour king Dan upon high and didn't take into consideration (despite pleas) that we might need their help on this one, stating "its all in your hands now!" after we asked them to assist. Of course, the majority of the blame should be placed upon generation two, but a serious overhaul of the system is required here by people who actually care about the tribe.
