Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

I've got a feeling... somebody's watching me... and it's awesome!

I'm so honored to have a small team of amazing EVOKE agents shadowing me for their Social Innovation ACT mission.

I want to help be a good mentor to shadow, so here's what I'm thinking:

I'd like to host a one-hour special Team EVOKE chat party for anyone shadowing me, so you can ask anything you want about game design, or anything else on your social-innovating mind.

I'll aim for a week or so from now, and hopefully this can inspire other social innovators being shadowed to offer up the same kind of fun, quickfire brain-picking party!

If you're shadowing someone else, you should see if you can find other EVOKE agents shadowing them, and put together a group request for a brain-picking party! Maybe ask for just 15 minutes of their time... you can learn a lot, and post the transcript on the network, too!

Stafano, thanks for the response, and if you do start, you know you'll have some participation from me :) I guess I'm still a little puzzled as to why everyone wants the site to give us these stats when we can get a lot of it ourselves, or at least pose the questions that we want answered. We don't need them to guide us through the enlightenment process, we can go through it ourselves, and who knows, maybe they'll join in the discussion because we'll come up with thing they haven't! (not too hard to imagine with the number of great minds in this place in my opinion)

@Nicholas : thanks for your assured participation :)
I'm not looking for a guide, but I'd like to have the opportunity of talking to the "top". I'd be glad to know how they're thinking of using me as a resource. It could/should be part of the game, as Citizen X is always around...

@Jane : sorry, I didn't mean to start a debate here, talking about you, instead of talking with you. I'll move this discussion somewhere else and leave a last comment here, just to notify it, as soon as it'll be ready. You're invited and welcome, of course :)

@Nicholas: Totally agree with that, I would imagine one of the reasons why this game was set up with the blog as an integral part of it is so that everyone taking part can learn from each other, including the people who run the site itself. It's part of why this game's so fascinating, rather than being spoonfed you're being asked your opinion, and even better, asked to think long and hard about that opinion at the same time.

Hmm, I just saw this, i was the last week without internet, and maybe a few days more...did you already make this chat party ? Because i would really love to participate !

Fascinating! Looking forward to these opportunities.

Love the idea Jane! Have you scheduled your chat yet? I'd like to participate in this being one of those who would like to shadow you. My IMAGINE1 and ACT1, along with the video I have up , are available if you'd like to take a quick glimpse into my work. Thanks, have a great week!

It is really nice of you to give some times to Evoke agents interested in your work. If this event is not completely booked, I really would like to participate to this chat too :)

A good idea - maybe your brain-picking session inspires your shadowers to become mentors themselves, become more aware of their own strenghts and pass them on to their mentees in turn?

Much too late for the event. And I have a feeling I'm bordering fangirl annoying.
But I'm shadowing you.
I figure I should possibly mention it even in the most discrete way possible so that it's not creepy.
I mean, it's not like I'm creepy.
I'm just following you around the internet.
Not real life.

Really, I swear.

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.
