Urgent Evoke

A crash course in changing the world.

So I've just got a dozen messages in my inbox about people cheating on here. I really don't give a damn, because the Evokation has no bearing on the amount of points you have, and if you're using Evoke, I don't think you should be worried about points as the premisce of the game is solutions and ideas, and not making the most points you can.

so PLEASE stop drawing away from the point of the game, Come up with new ideas, innovate and discuss, rather than going on and on and on and on about people who are buddying up to make points. the points mean nothing, just part of the game, enjoy the interaction and if you're so worried about points, go and play pac-man instead.

For the same reason you have top 100 richest people, top 100 greatest scientists, etc.
So people can know who's who.
Nothing is perfect, so you should expect an error rate also in leader boards.
For me, having an 80% accuracy is better than nothing. And as it is very hard to make a "fair" points system, let's do with what we have.
Looking it from another point, at least I know that most of the people up there have all those points for a reason. For those that "cheated", I can simply ignore.

Panamericana, I understand what you want to prove.
But you see, we are not dealing here with matters of life and death (as in a speedometer), but with people that are trying to create a change in the world.
Does it really matter that much for you if some of the top 10/20/30 are cheaters?
I mean, the wh*** point is to get people to work together, to create things and come up with constructive solutions.
I really respect your efforts to make sure that fairness is respected and I bet that all this energy you are investing in this cheating issues can be put to better use somewhere else :)

@Panamericana If the speedo is broken, don't bother looking at it. Look straight ahead and drive safely to where you want to go. :-)

I agree! Just play the game and get on with it! GET OVER IT!

Oh and if where you want to go is to get the most points, I guess you'll have to not follow the rules.
