Triad T.W.E. (Three Worldsuck Eliminators)

[Benyamin]

Hey Punion and Squiggletag! Post any and all awesome ideas of yours here and we'll discuss them. please include your time zone and skype account!


As a triad we have discussed and have agreed on the following

Project = A Pogotribe colab submission for the NerdFighter Guide - this will summarise what the tribe is and what values we share with nerdfighters.


Triad Name = TWE (3 Worldsuck Eliminators)

Values = 1) Commuity
2) Leadership
3) FUN !!

Motto= UWE (Uniting WorldSuck Eliminators)


other names: Liquating Bogeyman Penguins ( anagram with all of our user names)

[SquiggleTag]

well i messaged you with alot more detail then i am going to post here but ok here it goes :

1) Name - Jordan
2) Age - 18
3) Location and timezone - UK (GMT)
4) skype name - SquiggleTag (same as it is anywhere else on the internet)

now fore my ideas

1) Birthday Patrol - each day we find out whos birthdays it is (not hard to do) and then we just send a friendly message saying Happy Birthday. The goal we set is to send 20-30 birthdays within the time limit we have (may be more if we have a longer limit .. i was thinking within a week)

(btw if any other triad "steals" this idea we could simply help them ... because i'm sure people would be happy to recieve lots of happy birthdays )



2) the name of our triad. this should
A) involve all 3 of our names
B) be something intteresting
C) reflect our awesomeness.

and that is all the suggestions i have .

oh and btw ... do any of you two know how to have Text link to pages. (i was thinking of adding your names as links and i dont know how to do it)

[Benyamin]

This is how you do the links:

pogotribe.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=anythingandeverything&action=display&thread=6


it would end up like this:
Squiggletag's Profile

[SquiggleTag]

ok ... while were waiting for our 3rd member to respond i'll list some ideas to sift through

1) Names and mottos -

i figured we could use annograms and acronyms

so heres some i came up with :

liquaTing Bogeyman penguinS (an annogram of all our usernames thrown together)

Thoughtfuly Wiping Earths Negativity Today YAY 1
(an acronym for Twenty 1)

Talkative Winnerful entergetic Nuisances To you 1
(another acronym for Twenty 1)

unquestioningly beaming gap
(another annogram of our usernames)

Up squinting, genial bogey-man
(and the third annogram)


2) logo / signature
2a) how do we change links from the site address to just
a word?
2b) i suggest we decide to use an annogram as out triad
name and an acronym for our triad motto.


=)

OK. Wow. We are a great triad. I see it already in who you guys are about the south pole of the moon.
I love your work so far on our name and motto!
How about a name that is our project? (Something that looks great in our signatures and takes people somewhere...)
The thing is, I don't know what the project is until we talk.
You both seem to be great at creating acronyms/mottos anyway!

Let's plan our Skype session for 4:30pm on Thursday for Benyamin and me, which would be pretty late for you SquiggleTag/Jordan. I think it would be 10:15 pm, right? We are central standard time +6:00, right Benyamin? Does it work?

[punion]

I haven't got the links to our names yet. I ran out of space and will rewrite later. But there's a link on our Triad name to this forum.

I want to share with you guys that I got exposure, along with Dan Brown, to triads because we were both on a Tribal Leadership training call for 9 weeks with John King, who wrote the book. It was and still is amazing. We all got to make triads for the training. I'm not giving up the triad I got there either! (It's not with Dan Brown.) That created triad is one of the coolest things I've ever had happen.

Other than that, I'm a musician. Professional in classical music. And other stuff since I'm older than you guys and have five brothers and sisters [younger!] than me.

What I want to do most is to feel out who we really are and then come up with a project that gets us SO into what we are up to that it's totally fun, not to mention awesome for the whole world. I want to think big. Maybe think global. Any ideas? We have the UK/US perspective, naturally.

you may have already gotten this in my message to you.
i thought you might possibly be in a tiny section of NE that was in a different timezone to Benyamin (but it appears i was wrong)

you can plan a session for you 2 at that time if you want to

i'll be on from 3pm - 5pm your time (9pm - 11pm GMT)

just remember to post what you have discussed without me in this thread so i can get myself up-to-date with our decisions.



Btw one last thing.

is T.W.E.N.T.Y 1 our officail name?
or are we going to use it as the motto and then have an annogram as our name instead?

[SquiggleTag]

Things i am into include :

1) Nerdfighteria (General Nerdfighter ... trying to reduce worldsuck and whatnot)
2) indieVISUAL (you probably havent a clue what this means ... link to an explination below)
3) Other Community stuf (since the whole nerdfighters and pogotribe and other projects arose over the internet i have been verry keen to help (see 1) XD )

Hey, I'm Andromeda from Triad 17, The Fingerpainting Informants. You guys seem to be off to a really great start. What's your favorite part of this experience so far?

my favourite part so far is when we finaly made unanimous decisions about everything ... that, for me, defines what it means to be in a tribe.

oh and Benyamin, punion ...

the code for the image i am now using in my signature is :

[cen ter][IM G]http://i767.photobucket.com/albums/xx312/SquiggleTag/Triad-1.png[/IM G][/cen ter]

(if you delete the spaces in "cen ter" and "IM G" it should work propperly)

and one last point ... i figured out Google Wave (or at least made an account and added your gmail addresses) hopefully you comeonline sometime so we can arrange our next meeting.

[punion]

Thanks Squiggle Tag. Tell us what your googlewave.com name is so we can add you to our waves.

Let's get together tonight, Saturday night. Maybe Ben and I can come on with you at 3pm our time, 9 or 10 pm your time.

Thanks Andromeda. The best part so far: the other two seem to really know their way around the pogotribe and are equipped to make up our icon and everything. It was pretty easy to come up with the name and project too because they had great ideas.

But we just started, so we will see how great it is....

[Benyamin]

My favorite part was after everything worked out and we started our first discussion just in time. Then everything was smooth and we shared our ideas and it was just all around awesome..

[punion]

Hi. I'm on Googlewave. You should see the wave, Ben. I don't have your contact info yet Squiggle Tag. I need either you first and last name or your new name @googlewave.com

I will have to get off around 5pm cst (US). Hope either of you can get on before then. Even if you can't, you can do some triad work on our google wave. It's great. Play with it.

I have one idea: we can get the shared values of us and Nerdfighters and then I have a little program that makes "refridgerator magnets" to push words around and play with. We can put that into our NFG contribution if you like it.

SOME QUOTABLE DISCUSSIONS

Why not? Brownies are people that watch Dan's videos.. In a video, Dan said that everyone that watched his videos is part of a tribe. Therefore, Brownies = Pogotribe.
If you want to argue that only the people on the moon are a part of the tribe because we're the only ones working towards level 5, I guess I understand that logic

Nuh uh. I watch vlogbrothers videos I am not a Nerdfighter. Nerdfighter and Brownie seem to me to be fan names. To be a Nerdfighter you have to "want to be a nerdfighter"

I am not a fan. I am an equal. We are community, Dan Brown is a pogo tribe member just like the rest of us, he is not a Brownie and neither am I. (Don't get me wrong, Dan is really cool and awesome, but so are loads of the people here)

This is a community, not a fan page.

Road has it down exactly. I am not a follower. I'm a community member.

For the record though I heard of the pogo tribe through Dan, I came here because I had a project I wanted to share that I thought wouldn't go down well on other message boards.

I somewhat disagree with you RabbitWho.

Nerdfighter is not a fan name. It is a community name just like PogoTribe. It seems to me Brownie seems to be a bit more like a fan name but if you have watched a few of Dan's weekly streaming he does not refer to us as fans. He actually calls it the "F word" because he disagrees with it that much. But I do agree with you that there is a difference between in the Brrownies vs. Pogotibe thing.

>:(OK IM ENDING THIS NAO!

Brownie=Dan's Subberz and viewers
Pogotribe= Group of people that agree with dan on topics stated in video/agree with him enough to help community grow, most are on this site. "Brownies" was a nick-name dan used as a metaphor, It was also somewhat used to look at us like "fans" or less important than dan, Dan stopped using this and replaced in with pogotribe after he realized that we are equals and he does not control us, yet only organizes us, and what we can do is out of his control.

I agree with this, except that Pogotribe members don't have to agree with Dan on his topics. In fact, Dan even said himself that he likes it better when people disagree.

[punion]

I guessed your googlewave address Squiggle Tag!

Both you and Benyamin should be able to go to googlewave.com and see the wave I started for us.

Please jump in. I'll probably be back after you've gone to bed. (Hopefully) But the googlewave is one way to work together at different times.

However, it's a lot more fun together.
