1. The Tribe
1.1 What is this place, and why are we here?
THIS. IS. SPOTM! We're here to meet new people, communicate in a positive environment, and to improve the world.
1.2 What does it take to be considered part of the tribe?
First you have to pass a gruelling task. Not for the squeamish. 'Do you consider yourself part of the tribe?' If you answered yes, you passed.
1.3 I don't know where to start!
Well you've done a good job so far, by coming here!
Watch these: vimeo.com/pogobat
These Dan's announcements to the Pogotribe. If you watch them in chronological order, you should get up to speed with what's happening in the Pogotribe.
Once you've done that, or if you just don't wanna, how about looking around the forums? Find something you like? Don't be afraid to respond. Come up with an idea? Post about it! Get to know people! Etc.
2. Triads
2.1 What is a triad?
A triad is a group of three people put together to do awesome things.
2.2 What do the triads do?
Triads are guided by other triads who have already gone through the whole shebang. Here is what you will be guided to do:
2.2.1 Volunteer
The first step is to volunteer. Lookout for threads which ask you to volunteer to be in a triad, read through it so you know what it entails, then volunteer. If you're picked, it will be announced later on.
2.2.2 Meet your triad
In this step you will be asked to get to know your triad, come up with a name, establish a culture, speak to each other about how active you are and when you will be online.
2.2.3 Do a project
You will now be asked to come up with a project idea, and to implement this project idea. The project should have a measurable goal, and you will try and reach this measurable goal by the end of the 2 week project period.
2.2.4 Recruit new triads
It is now your responsibility to get together with at least 1 other triad and to look for volunteers for the next round of triads. It will be your job to guide these triads in the same way you were guided.
2.2.5 The cycle is complete
You've completed the cycle! Well done!

4.2 My projects never seem to work out!
Not all projects will work. There's a kinda knack for making them work.I can give you some tips from personal experience though: Try and have a measurable goal, and a deadline to reach that goal. The more planning you put into it, the more likely it is to work.
4.3 How do I stop my project to being suck so bad?

6.1 Dan doesn't respond to my comments/videos/e-mails/*insertformofcommunicationhere*!
Dan is a busy man. He receives thousands of comments, tons of e-mails, and hundreds of video responses... the fact that he responds to any is amazing considering how busy he is (making videos, daily vlogs, pogotoks, all of which involve a long planning and editing process.. keeping spotm running, secret project things etc.)
