Thanks for your reply @practicalthought. You do have 165 followers i see. That's what i meant by your band of followers. 

I'm not so good in groups myself, so tend to spend a lot of time alone. 
Apparently groups of eight are the ideal size for discussion and coming to accords.

I'm not sure how far you got, but in Matrix-8 there are many multiples of groups of eight, with each group electing (temporarily) a delegate to meet with seven other delegates from seven other groups. 

These group of eight meet to discuss, deliberate and come to one concentrated accord based on the accords from the eight groups. And it's dynamic, real time. 

**An example** of a Cause group with 64 people moving from their General Discussion group into the Matrix-8 consensus mechanism:

Following the eight Level One 8PAC meetings, after reaching accords and electing delegate, a Level Two Delegates meeting then takes place.
While the eight delegates are meeting and discussing, the eight groups from which they are delegated, are also meeting, listening in to the delegates meeting, a secretary sending text messages to their delegate if needed (even un-delegating and replacing him/her during the meeting if he/she is not in integrity and speaks with forked tongue). Based on hearing the discussion in the delegates group, and therefore hearing the accords from the other seven groups, a group can, in real time amend their accord (perhaps to align with one they have just heard from one of the other seven groups) and send a text to their delegate informing him of the change. In this way, all 64 people involved are having real time input and affect on the final accord.

Does this make sense?  

It can take quite some time to understand how Matrix-8 works and how, for what purposes it can be used. It can take a lot of studying to get to real-eyes it's potential.

Your engagements in the comments below would be much appreciated if it feels good for you,
