Share some things we've gained from Evoke
I'd like to take an opportunity to reflect on our time here on Evoke. Let's share some of the Epic wins and great connections during Season 1.
I had my first epic win when I realized I was speaking to the creator of the site, Jane McGonigal.
The second thing that happened to me while on Evoke was a complete perspective change on the world! Learning about everything going on in the world...problems which seemed unthinkable to me such as lack of…

Evoke Manifesto
What are the goals of the network? How does it work?

Doctors can lie to women about medical tests?
This story wasn't in the suggested list of topics, but I just read on CNN about the new legislation Oklahoma just passed protecting doctors from being sued if they lie to a mother about potential defects they may have found during fetal testing. I'm going to write about it anyway, because I feel it touches on some very controversial, but important issues somewhat related to abortion and a woman's right to choose, which I will relate to Mission… Continue

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.

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

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.
