			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is a project that I initially worked on with Dave Szulborski and did quite a bit of writing for, but eventually it was reorganized and I&#8217;m not sure if any of my pieces made it into the end result. The project itself was a training scenario for military joint task forces. Of course, there was a classic Szulborski twist in there regarding a mysterious illness.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<blockquote><p>January ??, 2008</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>To the members of the Joint Task Force:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Allow me to introduce myself.  I am Major General Thomas Wooley, U.S. Army.   I am the Commander in Chief of the Joint Task Force currently assigned to aid Puerto Rico &#8211; a task force of which you are now a member.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>You have been selected to play a key role in providing assistance to Puerto Rico after the devastation of an early morning tsunami on January 8.  As you know by know, the damage from the tsunami has been extensive, leaving hundreds of towns decimated and many citizens dead, injured, or homeless.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>As part of this response team, you will be not only setting up humanitarian aid and assessing damage, but you will also be looking into what appears to be a growing biological threat.  Reports of civilians suffering from nausea, fatigue, cramping, and vomiting have been steadily growing in number.  In addition, patients have been diagnosed with basophilic stippling, which is normally a symptom of elevated blood lead levels.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Although our people have not yet been able to confirm that there is a widespread outbreak in the general population, the number of cases with similar symptoms is concerning.  This concern is two-fold: both from an epidemiological standpoint and from a logistical one in terms of providing aid and security while attempting to keep both our people and the tsunami victims from contracting the disease. You in the Joint Task Force will be investigating the disease reports while you work on peacekeeping, damage assessment, and humanitarian assistance.  As your CiC, I will do my utmost to provide any and all support that the JTF will require during this process.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Our first meeting will be on January 15, 2008 at 1100 EST.  Telephone details will be provided to you shortly.  Make every effort to attend this conference call.  Your participation is of paramount importance.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Welcome to the group.<br />
Maj. Gen. Thomas Wooley, CiC, JTF</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>An article I wrote for PromicinPower.com.</p>
<blockquote><p>[IMAGE: A smiling woman handing out flyers on a busy sidewalk]</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Take charge!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Helping out in the War Against the War Against Promicin is easy! Our main asset is information. Too many people are being educated about promicin by sensationalist politicians and media. To that end, here are some specific things that you can do to help people understand that promicin is beneficial, not evil:</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>• <strong>Talk to people about promicin</strong>! Talk to your family, your work mates, your teachers, your pastors, your neighbors &#8211; anyone. Find out what they know about promicin and gently and politely correct any misconceptions they have. Make sure they understand that nobody is ever forced to take it, and that promicin abilities have the potential to save enormous numbers of lives.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>• <strong>Write letters</strong>! Let your congresspeople know that you oppose anti-promicin legislation. Here is a sample letter for you &#8211; be sure to add any personalization you like, and <em>mail it in</em>. Postal mail is much more effective than email.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Dear Representative or Senator X,</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>I am writing to you in concern for the proposed legislation that would ban the use of promicin, as well as promicin-related abilities. As you know, those who use promicin are blessed with extraordinary abilities. These abilities could save thousands or even millions of lives.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Although there is a risk involved with injecting promicin, I feel that I should be allowed the chance to make up my own mind and be able to take that risk in the hope of making a difference in the world. Prohibiting promicin is short-term thinking in a long-term situation. Denying us the latitude to take promicin is tantamount to denying us the pursuit of happiness. Please consider this when it comes time to vote down anti-promicin legislation.</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p><em>Sincerely,</em><br />
<em> Your name</em></p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>•<strong> Stage an event</strong>! A little attention goes a long way. Make some signs, grab some friends, and hit the streets. Include your best slogans and put &#8220;PromicinPower.com&#8221; if you would like. When people ask you about your demonstration, take that time to educate them about the benefits of promicin.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>Suggested slogans:</p>
<p>- Promicin is a gift<br />
- I&#8217;m pro-promicin and I vote<br />
- Promicin: the world is watching<br />
- Don&#8217;t let them steal our future: promicin<br />
- Promicin: change the world<br />
- Give promicin a chance<br />
- Promicin to the people!</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>• <strong>Blog it</strong>! Let the world know in your words how important you think promicin is. Share your views on a social tagging or social networking site.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>• <strong>Make flyers</strong>! We know how creative people can be. Draw up some flyers and hand them to people (but please don&#8217;t put them on cars or stuff &#8211; we think that&#8217;s littering).</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>• <strong>Contact the media</strong>! Write editorials to the newspaper. Call up talk radio. Make the media do its job of providing impartial coverage to the masses by giving them an articulate, well-educated pro-promicin viewpoint to air.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>• <strong>Above all else</strong>! Be a productive and responsible human being. Don&#8217;t give the Antis any ammunition to use against us. Don&#8217;t let them bait you into being hostile or argumentative. Know that you&#8217;re on the right team and no matter what anyone else says to you, they can&#8217;t change that.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>We&#8217;re in this together, so let&#8217;s make the most of it!</p></blockquote>

<p>A stalker&#8217;s image from the notorious ARGTalk ARG.  I did the scrawl and the poem in the lower right.  The ARG itself got a lot of bad press for two reasons &#8211; one deserved and one not.  First, people felt duped when the supposedly legit news site was actually a rabbithole into a game.  That was to be expected, and ties in well with many things that people say <em>today</em> about being honest about what is game space and what is not.  Back in 2005, however, the water was a lot muddier and people did not want to see anything that took them out of the game, so this was an experiment down that kind of road.  </p>
<p>The second reason people dissed the game (and the undeserved one) was the poor production value in the trailhead talk show.  That was by design, which people would have realized had they stuck around to figure out how the story worked out in the end.  Instead, they left at that point and ridiculed the &#8220;Attack by bubblewrap.&#8221;</p>
