ACT1: A big shadow to follow
I'm choosing to follow the mastermind of this all, @avantgame Jane Mcgonigal. After watching her TED talk last year, it opened me to the possibilities of using games to solve real life problems. I never realized there are already so many like-minded individuals participating in such an ideology. Countless times have I experienced the epic win...but when all is said and done, it had no impact in real life. Games were just another form of entertainment to 'escape' real life… Continue

Inspiring Social Innovation
There are so many Social Innovators I have followed to some degree.
When I saw the word “inspiration” I tried to think of who inspired me the most. Yes who because sometimes a living breathing person is more inspiring than a group, even though there are many great social innovators out there as groups.
I chose Fridemar Pache.
He is easy to find in any search engine just type 'Fridemar'
I have followed Fridemar too. On twitter and facebook several… Continue

Staying in touch after Season 1
Hello, everyone!
I have made a platform (in Facebook) for all of us to stay in touch, even if not "friended". It is a user group under the name "EVOKE Founders, Class of 2010", and it is for now open.
After the 20th, it will go semi-dark and it will become "secret", accessible by invitation only.
It has a board and everyone is welcome to…

Act10: Season 2 Episode 1
I wrote this with several possible missions and quests in mind. One is a look at dealing with conflict, areas where there is war on some level. Possible missions would be Learn: what conflicts are going on today, but maybe underrepresented in the news; Act: Spread the word of those conflicts. Support an organization that encourages peace.

IMAGINE 10 - The EVOKEr's Manifesto
First rule, we don't talk about the Manifesto.
Two... gah I don't feel like counting my rules. I'm just going to shoot them out in any particular order.
Okay...
Being an EVOKE'r is a choice. You can join or leave the group as you please.
As EVOKE pa**** the realm of a digital domain, the term "group" will eventually become a very loose term, to the point that members will simply be…

EVOKE: LEARN2- Local Food Issues
"Wow" My boyfriend exclaimed his eyes following where I was already looking. "A wh*** pack of doughnuts for 130Y! That's so cheap, why don't you get some?"
I cry on the inside as he said that. I don't have 130Y to spend on doughnuts. I have to buy rice and some noodles and some cheap frozen vegetable mixes. I'm freezing my own potatoes and carrots so that I can have them for the next few months. I have no money for the things I want. I bought myself some flour so I could treat myself… Continue

Great Idea, Challange to the Evoke Developers.
And idea...
This is just an idea I'm throwing around after looking at World Without Oil and Evoke.
But the basic concept is to talk to facebook, and possibly any other small games development sites and maybe even Blizzard to see if they'd get in on it.
And create a game. A real honest to goodness game, like farm ville only dealing with real farming and real farming techniques and issues in Africa.
Give people so much money to buy a plot of land when they sign… Continue

EVOKING all agents! This is important and will only take 5 minutes of your time.
I am calling on everyone who stumbles on this post to help Agent Edayis.
This coming May 5th through 7th, the Davos Debates will be held at Dar es Salam, Tanzania. World leaders will be meeting to discuss on a World Economic Forum on Africa, and they are welcoming questions from everyone all over the world. A big factor on what questions go through, is votes.

Fourth of July on the Lake
This past weekend was the annual celebration at the lake house in Connecticut. It is amazing that the lake is still so clear and beautiful after all these years. The watershed association has done a wonderful job protecting these waters from the damaging effects of development.The wood grill was finally ready to cook on, so we didn't miss the propane tank fueled grill anymore. The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More
Stinging Nettle
In this blog post I will focus on a plant that is abundant in our nature, and which is immensely nutritious. It's of course the Stinging Nettle. Let's start with the chemical constituents of this plant:37 % Non-Nitrogen-Extracts19 - 29 % Ash9 - 21 % Fiber4 % Fat22 % ProteinOnce the leaves are drid, their protein content can reach an astounding 40 %, which is much higher than beef, which even under the best of circ**stances can never exceed 31 % protein. In addition the Stinging Nettle consists…See More

Future
FutureToday is 2020/1/1. It is just like yesterday. The war is still continuing. It has started since 2010. In 2010, that year was a horrible year. Almost every energy ran out. Every country’s governments were crushed down at the same time. There were riots everywhere. All of the big company’s bosses were killed xdeadx in the riots. Troops fought each other everywhere. Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
public servants
The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
