[So you've all been invited via Chain to an "Informal Train-wide Meeting". Rean has a few things to say and then the rest of the post can be discussing things among each other really.]

A summary

[awakenerd]

Okay, everyone's had some good thoughts. The ideas I've picked up are this:

One, setting up games in the lounge. Maybe chess to start with, it's an easy way to make sparks and every team should have some way of interacting with games that earns them sparks, and as an additional benefit, games are fun and a good way to relax with others.

Two, train-wide dinners. Maybe a potluck every week? We can get together and just hang out and eat. It doesn't have to be a huge event but people are more likely to bond if they're full and happy and talk regularly.

Three, on the subject of food, cultivating food from the garden and throwing a festival based on it. I don't know what this would involve other than a lot of food and probably games but everyone could pitch in with some kind of event or support, music, games, cooking, it's bound to be possible for everyone to contribute somehow.

Four, setting short term personal goals to earn sparks towards. Me, I'm going to aim for a luxurious bathroom. Others might want books, or tools or whatever. If we're more actively making sparks for our goals, we're all interacting more, probably.

Five, maybe setting a time the lounge car can be assigned as private for people who want to take memories alone? Maybe a white board schedule would help with that.

So does anyone want to take charge of overseeing any of the first three projects? I think the fourth one we can each individually shoot for. And just a schedule by the lounge entrance people can write in for the last one?

I've been doing a lot of work in the garden, so I'd be happy to help people cultivate food?

I can't cook and I don't really know how to garden... And other people might be more into games. But I'm on Thyme, so I can try to help teach others rules and basics. It could make things easier for whoever is in charge that way and get sparks.
