Episode 9 CODE PHRASE: "Isinzi nti be sha. The crowd does not lie"
It's an old Burundian proverb: "The crowd does not lie." What do you think this code phrase means to the EVOKE Network?

This proverb is true in the case of presidential elections that are free and fair.That is the outcome of the vote is the will of the people- therefore the crowd does not lie.

It's interesting to apply this proverb to Evoke, because there are thousands of agents but so many of them are quiet. So does "crowd" speak to the very large number of agents and the issues they seem to sincerely care about, or to a small but vocal group of less than thirty agents who are claiming to be the voice for how the game is run?
Personally I think it is the former ... if Evoke has shown anything it is that there are thousands of people out there who are willing to spend significant amounts of time thinking about the world's problems, and then educating themselves and each other about real solutions. This is the inarguable "crowd" and the rest is just a chatty if organized minority.

Dear Alchemy and my fellow EVOKERs,
Good day!
I thing the Burundian proverb: "The crowd does not lie." appliies to EVOKE in especially in pandemic reporting. However, I see a similarity in Abraham Lincoln's utterance, "You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time."
Thanks and regards.

i agree with Margie Alsbrook.
EVOKE gives us an opportunity to actually learn more about real life problems facing the world today and guides us to places where we can find clues to solving them.
what i fear is that after season one a lot of agents will go cold. i would have preferred a situation where agents will start contacting each other even if we don't win a prize, lets team up and see what we can do to solve some of these problems we see around our societies.
