This part of the comic has interested me:
EVOKE is unofficial. EVOKE has resources - even a satellite.
EVOKE does things 'off the books'. EVOKE keep a 50% share in the profits.
So basically,…

I want to up
this article by
Alex Stovell. Here is a quote:
I hope that Alex can find enough collaborators that they can make a group that explores this further and thus reduces the workload from the shoulders of him alone.…

I am waiting for week 2. I didnt achieve as much as I wanted from week 1. I wanted to get to the top of the leaderboard .(I am #5). Not because I really am an attention-whore, but because I would be interested in how that would change my ARG experience. I wonder if for instance the top on the leader board gets a lot more calls for collaboration than others. I am also interested in how those collaboration ideas could be spread.
I am interested in that also because I am…

My
first Saturday Challenge was to go to my city at night and talk with a homeless person or a drug addict who is scrambling for money for his next shot.
I have to admit that I feel hesitant about posting this video here. In no way is my goal to sensationalize this. "Look! A drug addict!" The issue here is his life, and how there are lots of people like him around Norway and the…

Have you ever heard of Doug Engelbart?
No?
If you haven't, did you know that you are daily using one of the tools he invented?
Did you also know that the mouse, the tool he invented and first showed at
a famous demo
in 1968, was part of a wider quest to "
augment human… Continue

So, I noticed
the first response a la "People are dying from hunger in the world, and you dare to call this a game?!" to EVOKE.
Ok, all of this becomes quite meta, but you will…

"Hey! Look at me!" is the subject-line of several messages sent around the EVOKE network. Actually, what they Do write is "I made a blog post! Check it out please" or "I find X issue important, and I wrote about it". I have also myself been guilty of this kind of attention-grabbing behaviour.
Why? Well, partly, because the way the system works is that you get points for getting people to vote for Your idea, Your blog post, video or photo.
There…

This weekend has been pretty strange for me. Normally, I relax a lot during the weekend, go to museums, spend time with the gf, watch movies, read at cafes, etc.
This weekend I spent most of Saturday indoors, at home, chatting with other EVOKERS about EVOKE, and then at night decided to go out, and spend the wh*** night in central Oslo, interviewing drug addicts who are also out in the cold. I did that, and I now have some video footage that I am working on editing and…

Will challenge myself today, now, this Saturday night.
Armed with an
old videocamera (to prove you don't need a HD camera), I will go to central Oslo, on this Saturday night, and talk with people. Start conversations with total strangers, about some of the topics here.
I will spend the night out, in Oslo, and not go back home before tomorrow morning. I will Definitely…

I figured out about
videoblogging in December 2004. I belong not
quite to the first wave of videobloggers, but almost. Weeks after I figured out about the ability to share videos online for the wh*** world to see, I flew to NYC in January 2005 to attend the world's first videoblogging conference,
VloggerCon. VloggerCon was amazing - you…

This is the very first version of a guide that we in
AWAKE will create during the next days. Consider this blog entry simply 'working notes'. Don't worry, the final result will not be so
wordy.
1) Introduction
This guide to "How to get ahead in EVOKE" is not a definitive guide. It is…

I have thought about starting an EVOKE guild ever since I found out about the site and registered.
What good is an immersive social game without guilds?
So, I would like to call out to other EVOKE agents: Are you interested in joining our guild?
Just like in other games, there are differences between guilds on EVOKE. Actually, I haven't heard of other guilds yet, so I suppose (for now) that this is the first…
