Fourteen thousand global agents. <b><i>Ten thousand</i></b> blog posts. <b><i>Twenty four hundred</i></b> photos and almost <b><i>a thousand</i></b> videos. And counting.<div><br/><div>Agents, we have a problem. As Alchemy has written: </div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>"<i>EVOKE was conceived as a crash-course in changing the world. It is a chance to showcase the kind of resourceful innovation and creative problem-solving that is happening today in sub-Saharan Africa and other developing regions, and to collectively imagine how the lessons from those scenarios can transfer, scale, and ultimately benefit the entire planet.</i>"</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div>The resourcefulness, creativity and collective wisdom of the network is here. I know it and so do you. But it is hard to find, and many of our agents know it is hard to be found. Our emergent strengths are hidden within, and we must discover them. This is a hard problem, so let's EVOKE it!</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div><b>I challenge and welcome you to Round 1 of the EVOKE Treasure Hunt!</b></div>
<div><br/></div>
<div><b>Round 1 Objective:</b> Discover and document <u>high quality</u> <u>original</u> evidence posted by Agents with <u>fewer than 100 power votes</u>, who are playing from the continents of <u>Africa and South America</u>.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div><b>How To Play:</b> Find evidence that meets the objective for this round. Document your discovery in a reply on this discussion thread. Provide the Agent's EVOKE name and the URL of the evidence you are highlighting, along with any explanatory comments you think are necessary.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div><b>How Do I Win?</b> The win condition for this challenge is that the entire EVOKE network gets smarter and stronger. You help to achieve this simply by discovering and sharing outstanding original evidence from other players. You personally will receive <i>social capital</i> in proportion to your contributions, and you may also occasionally receive <i>power votes</i> from various Agents.</div>
<div><br/></div>
<div><b>Just A Few Rules:</b></div>
<div>1. In this round we are looking only for <i><b>original</b></i> evidence created by Agents. Original blog posts, photos and videos are great. We do not want to see evidence that is copied, quoted, or embedded from some other source. </div>
<div>2. No spamming. We are seeking <b><i>high quality</i></b> evidence. Agents who spam the treasure hunt will receive <i>negative</i> social capital.</div>
<div>3. You can discover yourself. If you and your evidence meet the criteria for this round, you are welcome to share it.</div>
