Project Triaduction

[Alex]

LET'S CALL THIS "PROJECT TRIADUCTION"

Triads need to restart now. What I propose is that a group of 5 dedicated people, including myself, lead a new group of triads. This time, instead of making projects, they can just meet and become friends. Then they can do what they please.

This is not to change the world directly. This is to unite the forums again and to make new friendships. Then, as a united group of people, we can work together to get things operating again. We can then start projects with common interests that will change things outside of this forum.

Here is what I propose:

Week 1 - We have a bunch of people sign up to be in a triad. At least 30 people.
Week 2 - Triads are posted, and you must meet all together at least once.
Week 3 - Begin forming a solid friendship by making a triad name, flag, and just be creative. Do whatever you please, and make a project if you so please.
Week 4 - Make an email address with your triad name. Report on what your findings are, and include the email address.
Week 5 - You will exchange the email address with another triad. As a group, you will write one email. Send that to the other triad (You will be told if you should send the first message out of the 2 of you). Get a response. All 6 of you can meet in a chat or something if you want
Week 6 - Once you get to know each other, all report on your final findings.

Now you have made 5 friends on SPOTM. You can be involved in the process as many times as you want.

Now let's discuss how this will work, propose new week formations, and just try to polish the idea.

THE GOAL OF THIS PROJECT IS TO UNITE US AS A TRIBE!

Now, this is a freedom project. There is no judge on if you pass or fail. Really this is to attempt to bring us together. You can alter things as a triad.

Let's see if this works.

personally i think triads should just form and do what they want and just have the option of asking for people (who can sign up to be available leaders, not just 5) to help them, or mentor them

[nicolii]

I like both ideas.

Hell I have time on my hands, sign me up.

This is a bad idea, triads should form on there own, without us telling them how to form. People will choose who they want to be in a triad with them and do a project to make it official.

Why? I mean, who are you to say how Traids should form? You just have one idea. Alex has another. Neither of you are experts. Some triads can form your way, others can form with Alex's idea here.

I see no problem with this idea. In fact, I really like it. Thank you for trying to bring Triads back and organize them effectively, Alex. Best of luck to you, good sir!

[frazzledog]

i must say, I do quite like it when people say good sir. It makes me think of old timey england

Also, great idea alex! I'm way to incredibly busy to participate right now, but all the luck to you

[Kevak]

I'll be ready to participate in this.

But we are chatting about this with project phoenix.

one problem with the triads before that i noticed was that it took forever to get them formed and the people who sogned up went from all the time in the world to none in a month.
next summer triad session needs to start much earlier. much much earlier.

[IAMNTHOMAS]

If this ever happens.. I'm down.

[Rogers91]

i wouldnt mind advising and helping set up the triads starting some time next year when i am not being killed by school as much...

i miss haveing a triad... it was fun and i will never forget the crazy stupid things said on skype...

[austkyzor]

I'm all for this

you know last gen of the triads failed for two common reasons.
first the people who signed up gave up and that squashed one of them right out of the gate. then there was the lack of a goal which made all of them slow to a crawl. then the addvisors them selves became none existant a few of them where leacveing and others where to busy with all the drama. it lead to a final stall of abilities because the triads that where only a month old had no direction or leader and it had cripled the ones that where left..

last gen basicly started at the pivital point in this tribes time when people where up in arms about D3P0 and wanted to change the direction of the tribe. triadears and there advisors became more interested in the ongoing debates and anger than the triads or anything else on the moon. We where also in our worried transition away from Dan brown as he we phaseing himself out of here and more into his project.

I belive now that the tribe has moved away from dan a bit and has calmed down two things will come to light.
one people will like each other more and focuse more on the triads as they will be the big thing instead of dan and his stuff.
second the people will be more dedicated to stick it through because they have already been weeded out a bit and most of us now really like this place.
third we will not have as many people try this one and there for will not see as many triads as we usualy have.
and finaly we will notice that the weeks might be scewed for each triad as some might be able to do everything withen a few days and others might take a few months to accomplish everything they need to.

the big goal for this would be to bring the tribe as a hole closer together and comunicate more frequently.
it is acctualy really cool that the forum has finaly cooled down from all the personal drama and the dan...

so i purpose we start working on this and re abilitate the good old triads starting january after all of the holidays. in the mean time my skype is brandonrogers91 and if anyone has any thoughts or concerns please feel free to contact me... i would love to see this thing re happen...

[Camoon]

Just a few ideas.


How about we have a thread where people can sign up to be part of a triad, and every week, we take those names, put them in a hat, and put them ALL in triads (unless there's an odd number, in which case we'd put them in the next draw).

Also addressing the problem people have with people dropping out, we could set up a system:
Have a thread called "Innactive triaders" for triads to report members who have either quit, disapearred (for over a week), or who just aren't showing any interest. Then we can take one of the people who have signed up to be in a triad, and put them into that triad.



Maybe we can kind of... have a TRIAD TO DO LIST which they can take and use, and complete IF THEY WANT which will have steps like:
- Get skype and add each other
- Have a skype call
- Set up a weekly meeting time
- Come up with a name
- Start a project together

These will be suggested, NOT FORCED. (Although the prospect of an un-complete to-do list haunts every human )



Maybe the triad-visors could take a more personal role where they talk to each member individually to make sure they're all happy with the way the triad is going. And it will be OPTIONAL help for each member (instead of each triad)

[Rogers91]

i would love to be a part of the next round of triads as either a member or an advisor... i really enjoyed them last time and was lucky to have diana advise even though she is gone now and that is sad...

Failed triads are just the beta of the project as a hole.

[IAMNTHOMAS]

When are we going to get this rolling?

[Rogers91]

at the least by january.. the holidays are very hectic and might mess with the triads progress

[Rob]

If Cam's idea actually gets going, let me know. Maybe the Triadvisors YouTube channel could play an active role?

[Rogers91]

cool

[Benyamin]

I'm all for it
