I'm an agent on Evoke, and my work on Evoke over the past four weeks (weeks 4-7) has beenmarvelous because I have learned more and more about money crisis, empowering women, urban resiliance and Indegous knowladge.

Empowering Women

I have been enjoying the graphic story these last four weeks, because I learned more about empowering women. I think that it is nice to now about the world problems women are going through such as woman trafficing. I'm learning more about Empowering Woman right now, and in particular what I wondering about about is: Why is Human Trafficking so important, and why does it relate to Woman's rights? I was researching this question online, and this new article caught my attention because it relates to my question and human trafficking is commonly found in woman cases. Human trafficking is a nation wide problem that needs to be solved.

I'm an agent on Evoke, and my work on Evoke over the past four weeks (weeks 4-7) has been quite successful, because I did lots of things on it. I thought why not try my best to enjoy it instead of keep complaining about it?

About the graphic novels

I have been enjoying the graphic story these last four weeks, because it was pretty interesting. Some of it was unrelated to the missions, but again, I like graphic novels.

About my missions

My best quest over the past four weeks was the sixth one. This quest was pretty interesting, because I had to use my imagination to answer those questions. One of the question was "if you have the power to convince fifty people what would you do?" and I wrote '''It would be the whole USA senate, I shall make them pass a bill that stops the US from participating so much in foreign affairs, or trying to be the leader of the world. SRSLY just f-beep-p off if you can't even take care of yourself.''

Interests

I'm an agent "http://www.urgentevoke.com/profile/Ly-Nice . Working on Evoke for the past weeks have helped me to realize that there are a lot of problems and serious issues i  the world that people like us can become apart of. Being apart the solution is always better in the eyes of the suffering. Researching the issues and topics at hand gives me a more in depth idea of the things going on in the world around us.

 


The graphic stories are amazing to me. They are actually what keeps this game alive. Without them, I wouldn't be interested at all. Not like I am any way. I wonder if the people in the story behind the characters them selves are real people? I wonder if they actually go out and help these people that suffer through these different issues.

I'm an agent on Evoke, and my work on Evoke over the past four weeks (weeks 4-7).

Comics
I have not been enjoying the graphic story these last four weeks, because I find almost no point in them. I ask myself, are they supposed to make the tasks real? Otherwise, really, they don't help the main purpose of the site at all.

Here are my reactions to each episode 4-7.
Urgent Evoke 4 wasn't that interesting, except for the last minute betrayal. The man who works for Citizen X writes and publishes some sort of blog.

In Urgent Evoke 5, the team is in Havana, Cuba trying to create a new economy. Many of the ideas are produced by college students who don't even know that they are helping. We get a scope of how lonely the team members' lives are.

The 6th Chapter of Evoke is the most interesting chapter until the end. I seriously don't understand the difference between Citizen X and Evoke other than Evoke liking to keep things secret.

Career goals

I liked playing the game Urgent Evoke. This game is telling us about the challenges that other people are facing in the world. The game involves a lot of typing. But while playing the game you learn many things. The game teaches you about how people overcome real life issues that affect everyone. To win the game you probably need to have a lot of power votes. It is extremely difficult to earn these. And you will also need to complete all of the achievements. And these aren't easy achievements. These achievements are very difficult to succeed in. Another way you can come close to winning Urgent Evoke is by completing your missions. Something that was compelling about Urgent Evoke was that the missions are actually events that are happening in other people's lives around the world. They are going through hard times and after playing Urgent Evoke I've learned how hard it is for these people to overcome such difficult challenges. Every week, you get a new mission. To win the game it must take a lot of time because there are a lot of missions to do and to do these missions you have to wait a week.

I'm an agent on Evoke, and my work on Evoke over the past four weeks (weeks 4-7) has been taken because I need to carry out missions after I read articles.Like most students,I need to understand the article entirely and then I was able to complete the mission,including learn,act and image.
 
 
Summary of the past four weeks
I have been enjoying the graphic story these last four weeks, because I can learn something from it while having fun.It makes myself responsible for the society,even in the future.It seems that I experience the situation in the game personally when I play it.The ability to produce abundant, cheap, clean water has not been a reality for most parts of the world.Large-scale water purification and distribution systems have not been fundamental to health care and longer lives, and even normal life lack.Not all people can get enough clean.safe drinking

A few weeks ago, I became an agent in a global network of social innovators. Urgent EVOKE: A Crash Course in Saving the World opened on March 3, 2010. It’s a blog, a networking site, and a problem-solver all in one. It was designed and is directed by Jane McGonigal for the World Bank Institute.

Well affter pplaying two of the assigned games i answered the question that my title had and the answer was no they are not alike. The two games that I played that were alike were the mcdonalds game and ayiti they were alike because they both had the same format where you can click on different locations or people and from there can unlock and other choices. None of the games were like Urgent Evoke because that was more of a social type game in which you can share either answers for the problems or short narritives related to the problem amongst friends. Out of all the games that I played by far the most enjoyable one was arguement wars which wa diffent form all three games becaue you had to play against somebody else. On top of that in this games this game depended on your knowledge and thinking on the topic that to some extent is similar to Urgent Evoke. So in conclusion Mcdonalds wars was similay to Ayiti and Urgent Evoke was at least a tiny bit similar to Arguement Wars.

 The Viral Marketing Surge of the Last Decade has been fantastic.  Filled with Brilliant Marketing Schemes to get everyone pumped for some form of event.  For example, J.J. Abrams' (LOST, Alias) contemporary monster flick, Cloverfield had a superb thread of URLs, fictional Companies and Social Organizations, broadcasting monster attacks across Non-fictional News Channels, as well as series tie-ins from Alias and other Abrams Produced Television Shows.  The build-up of all this viral marketing spread exclusively by word-of-mouth only made the growing community of fans eager to see how this all tied in with the movie, leading to a huge turn out on the Midnight Release across the country.
