It is 1:30am and I am uploading pics from the past week to actionhero.smugmug.com
Roberta and Fufo are getting me up earily to go surfing with them. The waves will be big, I'm told, and Fufo said today there were many dolphins in the water swimming near him.
I spend a lot of time online organizing thoughts, projects and projections. It is like a game, a mystery... a mystory. I create a character and find others to play and carry out missions.
A friend introduced me to Warcraft a few days ago. It is an endless online game with thousands of players in a massive world all playing together. This guy plays all day and night, forgetting to pick up clothes at the cleaners and unable to walk around the corner to get takeout sushi... cuz sometimes these quests take hours to complete. He talks to other players just by pressing a button on the keyboard, and everyone stays in character, playing along with the scene. Totally D&D geek stuff.
I am looking at WarCraft thinking it could easily be merged with Tribe.net ...and all of us could chat around a virtual campfire, using our real voices. We could do it now if we paid $15 a month to be part of the game. Not that it is my ideal... cuz real campfires are where it is at... but I saw this as the next level in making things real before they are real. My friend spends days on end playing this game, and it is all for nothing. In the end, he has nothing to show for the life spent. All the crystal balls collected were nothing more than pixels that vanish like pixie dust.
I need sleep, so I can surf tomorrow... for real... not like I have all day today on this computer. This tribe is a means to an end. I can see us together sailing a large ship... or maybe two... far far away from current realities.
I am forming an eco-tourism project here in Mexico, but that is not what this ship collective is about. I want the ship to benefit from the bizy-ness... but there is no ship without the collective. The ship is an experiment in community building... it is not "ego-tourism", as Leaf so perfectly put it.
I do not want to be the leader nor the captain of this ship collective. We will make better decisions as a whole and be far more motivated and resourceful if everyone sees this as their baby. If it is your dream to sail the seas in search of new lands and live with a crew of loving souls in small spaces, I am giving you the chance to make it happen through my connections.
Two beautiful men own two beautiful ships, and they are seeking good people to take these boats on grand adventures. I see what could be done with these ships, and it pains me to know they sit at the docks day after day as the sea calls to them.
My main focus in life is social change, and I am not talking about playing this computer game... forwarding emails and making posts about my ego trip. We have the opportunity to use this modern wizardery with the tools and knowledge of past generations, to make fun-and-mental changes in the way massive amounts of people live, so that we can all stop the maddness which is the current norm, and get on with tending the garden of eden.
With this new eco-tourism busy-ness, and the Roblito project moving along as it is, I have little time to organize the Tribal Spaceship. I really want to see it happen, but if there isn't enough interest from those who have already joined the tribe to step up and take part in some way, I guess we are not ready for it yet.
Don't wait until everything is lined up and the ships are ready to sail. If you want to take part, start now, and let's hear about it.
How can you serve this collective?
Can you meet on Grand Manan Island this summer?
When is best?
If you can't, do you know others who would be into it, or do you have something else to offer?
Lots of people have joined this tribe, now let's see who really wants to take part.
If you don't add yourself to this thread, and stay intouch... which means keep posting to share how you are dreaming this experience into being... you are not part of this project. I am not saying it is not open. The key is showing up in circle.
You don't need to drop your life as it is now. Just picture yourself playing with fun people in warm waters while folks in the north country are freezing their asses off. Between now and then, we are going to play a game called getting organized.
Relationships and common goals are what will bring us together.
G'night ship mates!

Re: Gathering here... and on Grand Manan Island
Wed, April 4, 2007 - 7:16 PMI'd like to do a tour of Canada this summer. I've met a great bunch of Quebecois and pepole from other parts of the country so far in my travels,and I'd like to see the land they call home. I'd like to come visit you all up in the northeast as well. It's going to depend on money and my scuba diving career. -

Re: Gathering here... and on Grand Manan Island
Mon, April 9, 2007 - 12:21 PMLet's hear your thoughts on if you think a collective of equal members is a good idea or not.
Maybe many people would rather not be a ship that is open to all people's ideas and interests?
A ship has a direction, and together as a crew we get it from point A to point B. We can't do want everyone wants. It is all about learning how to work together.
There is a plus side to one person or a small group taking charge and giving others direction. If people trust me, or us, and like our vision, our rules, our route and our way of doing things... the whole project is more clear.
I would like the ship to stay on the pacific west coast (Mex / USA / Cdn.) for the first two years after sailing around from New Brunswick. That way, people who invest in the project or are simply interested at this point in the game will know that is where the boat will be based, so they can plan to get on and off when they want. It would be something that an investor could spend a couple weeks or a month on, then get home again easily.
The ship could be run by a tight inner circle of action heroes that does most of the work to organize. Others come and go, but don't have much say in the way things are run.
The benefit of a large group of equal members is that everyone in the collective is more empowered and motivated to contribute.

Re: Gathering here... and on Grand Manan Island
Sat, April 21, 2007 - 3:55 PMEquality is great in theory, but some kind of seniority or council is almost a must, or everyone has equal weight and decisions never get made. Seniority often comes from knowledge, experience, or simply time put into a project. It's not something that has to be appointed even, but natureally some people are better leaders than others, and some people garner respect because of their knowledge, experience, or because they've been on a project longer than someone else. Maybe there can be some kind of elected council with one person who is really knowledgable about boats and sailing, one who has a lot of really great and creative ideas, someone who represents finances.. something like tat? I admit I'm not very good in organizing things but those are some of my ideas. -

Re: Gathering here... and on Grand Manan Island
Sun, April 22, 2007 - 6:13 AMyup.... there you are... I love Amanda. Perfect. Yes, it will be natural and maybe even unspoken... as it is obvious who is who and what part they have as they are showing up where they need to be or are ready to be.
We are doing this for everyone to learn from to create there own ship... tribe... circle.
Who else has an offering?
