Bomb (bombmaniac) and I were talking on Skype a bit about making cards with the PogoTribe values on them, so that people could carry them around as a reminder toward our (currently undecided/non-specific) Noble Cause, and our overall goals. These cards would be the same size as a standard business card, so it can easily fit into someone's wallet. Here are our values:1. Use our awesomeness for good. 2. Embrace our "inner weird". 3. Have fun. 4. Think impossibly big 5. Grow out 6. Grow strong 7. Stand by what we know to be true. 8. Accept that we don't know everything. 9. Welcome ALL who stand by these values. The Big Questions:- How will we get the money to print (and ship?) the cards?
- Which company should we print them with?
- What will the cards look like?
- Related to the question above: should we have a contest to design the cards?
- What should they have on them besides the values?
What do you guys think? =)

That would be pretty cool. I know that you can get business cards printed for free at vistaprint.com, you just have to pay for shipping.. They're only 1-sided, and I don't know how much stuff you can put on them, but, yeah... if we want this to be cheap, that might be a good option...

vistaprint DOES do double sided cards, i have used them many times, and i have double sided cards also you are able to stick any graphics you want on there. they allow you to upload custom designs for your card. as for why do this? well, why not get people committed to the same goal as we are to join, and help us in achieving our goal. why just get fanbois from youtube who join because dan is famous there?

Ah, are they intended to be stuck in books or what have you to advertise? I didn't really look at it that way.
Good idea. :3

Maybe they should be stickers, you could carry them around as a card, or stick em' on an unsuspecting lamp post.

While the defacement of property is a fun sport many people would never admit to doing it's probably not a cool thing to link the SPOTM to... I mean it's a good way to get the word out, but it would get people in trouble or make a bad name for SPOTM...something like that could get out of hand...

If we have the cards, then there's no need to "deface public property" with stickers. If we had the cards, we could leave them on tables, slip them into books... that sort of stuff. Guerilla advertising would not be an issue here. =)

I have a question!
If we were to make these cards, how would we distribute them to people of The Moon? Would they have to buy them from somewhere...? That'd be lame! I'm not sure many people would be willing to give out their addresses so they can have a few sent to them, free or not...
This can't really be done now, but in the future, when/if we sell merchandise (t-shirts and such), we could just put a few of these cards with their order.
Anymore suggestions? :O

You + That Idea = AWESOME!
Maybe one random one comes free with the T-shirt, but you can by packs of them.

No they're free, when you buy something that costs $5 you get the value cards as a bonus
