UrgentEvoke
I think that this season was great. I started the first week and continued until today. I wouldn't change anything, maybe the missions could be more about today, not in 2020. But i still think this game is awesome, and i can't wait for the next season.

2011: Pandemic
A new pandemic break out, people still don't die but scientists say that it is only a matter of time before this desease will spread throughout the world and kill millions of people as it develops. To fight this virus we need all the little help we need in the world. My idea was to call all scientists, through internet because its the most advance and fast way to spread ideas. We should call all scientists, not the most important but all those people that have the knowledge ot fight the… Continue

How do People React in a Pandemic?
Many times when people become aware of the new desease and the risk they overreact, this is usually short-term. The act like this because they still don't know if this desease is dangerous or harmless. At the beginning journalists write whatever they want on the newspaper because they still don't have enough knowledge on this desease. People will take precautions that are uneccesary and innapropriate. But these reactions can be also useful because they protect us. when we don't know the effect… Continue

2095
Children, men and women were all around me anxious to see what i was going to tell them. 100 years are long to live, but we don't even know how fast time pa****. It was my time to tell them part of my life. Tales, war, and life of a childhood at the beginning of the century. Many things i said were strange for many of the people that were listening me, things have changed. I lived when England was still a Monarchy, when New York and San Francisco still existed, but the ocean covered these two… Continue

Frossasco 2020
I see that my future town will adapt new energy sources.
The water used for public gardens will be rain water, that will be gathered by the gutter.
Solar panels, turbines will give us electricity.
Food will be given by local farms, such as meet and season fruit and vegetable.
Cars will use only gas as fuel so that the pollution will decrease.

Frossasco
I live in a small town up in the hills called Frossasco, near Torino (Turin), N. Italy. Since we are pretty high in the mountain the climate is pretty cold, especially in winter time. All the roads are cover with snow, the town hall is prepared for these case, so the roads are always usable. But there are some places where the trucks don't arrive. Since we live in a small town all of us know each other and we always help each other for some problems. So we gather in one place and we start to… Continue

Unemployment
I think that a major problem that my generation will face is unemployment. In these recent years many Europeans cities and countries lost a huge amount of moneys, so agencies need to fire people. Until now this problem did not improved actually it gets worse every day. I think this will go on for many years and many people will have many problems finding work. There are solutions that agancies used many years ago, but i think these will not work now because our economy changed a lot in these… Continue

New Type of Currency
In the last 10 years we started to use a new type of currency with our neighbours. They work for us in the garden, in exchange they don't want money but they want to get the water from our well. This is because during summer time we don't have enough water because it doesnìt rain a lot. Our well instead has plenty of water for two families. We use the water for our vegetable garden, so this is a help for the person that work for us.

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.
