On Gameification

It seems that you can just about anything a game.

In some cases this can help, such as getting the kids to clean up their room so at least a chore becomes more bearable and less mundane.

But in business?

That just seems awkward.  And it gives the idea that these people have no idea what a game even is to begin with and this is just some stratagem to pad the wallets of the executives out there by making a sale as easy as possible.

How I became a spy:

I was an ordinary girl living in San Francisco going to school in San Jose and going back home on weekends day in and day out.  Nothing extraordinary happened to me.  Until the day I climbed into the dumpster where I found a dead body.  I climbed back out and was chased by a Templar who i assumed killed the guy.  I bumped into a guy wearing a white hoodie and then was inducted into the Assassin's Order to spy on the Templars operating under the call sign: "Ducky" armed with my trusty frying pan and awesome hiding skills as an initiate.

My Alter Ego

My RPG character self is known ad Chocobo on the internet.  She looks just like me, albeit a little more in shape and has the magical ability to bring all the characters she creates to life which she calls Avatars.

In an alternate reality game you are known as a "writer" and you will receive a prompt to go somewhere from the game master ex: the park or nearest Starbucks and when you are there you create a character based on a customer or an object you find then create that character for use in the internet portion of the game.
