Daev Team's #Ghostware is a beautiful retro style #firstperson shooter! There's lots of cool lore to process as you play in the Arena of the Dead. It's now out on #steam for Early Access and we present out first impressions! #videogame

Only skilled gamers who love first person shooters and platform style games (from that previous perspective) can get requisitioned to play Ghostware: Arena of the Dead. This retro style game by Daev Team and published by HyperStrange has a great story to like, but if you can’t make it past the trainer mode and the first challenge, then this game is frustrating. That’s because where you respawn…

#writingtip #57 Ah, point of view. It can define your story. My books are written in the 3rd person.  It gives me the freedom to tell the story from a distance yet still get inside my characters heads. Types of Point of View - A Starter Kit First Person The main character is telling the story.  Uses "I" as narration.   The reader can only experience the story through one person's eyes. The reader only knows what they know and can hear their thoughts Example: "I saw Jack through the window and as his blue eyes met mine, my blood ran cold." Second Person The main character is telling the story. Uses "You" narration It is generally used to transform the reader into the character. The reader is told the story from the perspective of "you". "You look out the window meeting Jack’s eyes, as your eyes meet your blood runs cold." Third Person The narrator is telling the story, but the point of view still belongs to the character. Uses "He/She/It" narration It allows the writer to describe the characters as well as their feelings and thoughts.   Example: "Ali saw Jack through the window and as blue eyes met brown, Ali's blood ran cold." What's your point of view style? #writingtips #writingtipsandtricks #writingwednesday #writingabook #pointofview #writingcommunity #writinginspiration #writingismyfreedom #writerslife #writerslifeforme #writerslifestyle #firstperson #thirdperson #writersofinstagram #writing #amwriting #writerscommunity #writersofig #writers #writer #writersnetwork #writinginspiration #writers_den_ https://www.instagram.com/p/CLrYCJxAT6V/?igshid=3euijqql3rtg

Major Study Project Record

Dawn Town Concept

The Dawn town is an interactive short film that shows the side effects of modern social development, especially technology, on human social relationships. The interactive short film will be based on a multi-linear narrative approach. This film explores how the relationship between people is influenced by technology after the development of science and technology reaches a certain stage. Background of the era of science and technologyCan humans choose to follow their own emotions still being influenced by high technology, passively making choices? The Dawn town is an interactive experience that tells the story of the protagonist's day in the high-tech society through a third person and lets the audience help the character make choices. The town will feature a technological society that demonstrates the positive and negative impact of technology. It will use the classic realist narrative techniques in the film, adding some sci-fi elements, combined with some firstperson perspective shots. My goal is to create a micro-movie that will cause viewers to reflect and resonate with the development of technology allowing viewers to make choices in the video following the most primitive emotions in their hearts. Interactive video is now in the form of a video at the forefront of the online video industry, and this form is maturing both in the online video and gaming industries

After having a certain understanding of the script creation, I began to conceive my story, characters, and characters. First, I made some changes to my story. I modified the background story. I set my story background in 2029. At that time, I set up a new social system.

The "Dawn" Project In 2029, the world's shortage of natural resources and trade restrictions in various countries, the dawn plan was been launched worldwide to save the world economy. In order to stimulate rapid economic growth, the implementation of the Dawn Plan limits the production value of each citizen, and each person's score is evaluated by each person's interest indicator dividing the industry by dividing score. People with high scores are engaged in the cultural and financial industry, while those with low scores can only engage in the service industry and the transportation industry. In the Dawn Plan, everyone can be scored by others through work efficiency, personal achievement and interest thereby accumulating your own scores. The higher the score, the higher the position of the job. Dawn Town is a community dedicated to the social elites of the program, and is only eligible to live in the community if it is maintained at a specified score. Residents of this community enjoy advanced medical facilities and teaching resources, and everyone wants to have enough points to live in the community.

“Writing ethnographic fieldnotes”. 2nd ed. Emerson et al, 2011).

Today (freshers week, 19/09) I read alot of chapter 1 ‘fieldnotes in ethnographic research’. It defined ethnographic research from a symbolic interactionist and ethnomethodological point of view. 

What I took from this was that the ethnographer writies in regular, systematic ways what she observes and learns whist participating in the given environment. she also becomes immersed in her environment, getting close to the lives of those studied by actively participating in their daily affairs. 

It also discussed the implications of the ethnographers presence in the field. Interestingly, relationships between the ethnographer and the people in the setting do not disrupt or alter ongoing patterns of social interaction as they reveal the terms and basis on which people form social ties in the first place. Plus, firsthand relations with those studied may provide clues to understanding the more subtle underlying assumptions that are not readily accessible through observation and interview methods alone. 

Many contemporary ethnographers assume highly participatory roles (Adler and Adler 1987) in which the researcher actually performs the activities that are central to the lives of those studied. Although the participation of the field worker is neither as commited or constrained as the natives  (Karp and Kendall 1982:257). 

Also, there is no natural or correct way to write about what one observes. (3 shoppers example)  descriptive accounts select and emphasize different features and actions while ignoring and marginalizing others.  Descriptive fieldnotes are products of active processes of interpretation and sense-making that frame or structure not only what is written but also how it is written.

Fieldnotes can be wrote in first person point of few, third person point of view or a mixture between the who.  

A firstperson mode “limits the matter of the narrative to what the first-person author knows, experiences, or finds out by talking with other characters” (Abrams and Harpham 2009:274).  Writing in the first person is particularly effective when the ethnographer is a member of the group she is studying, expressing ones own views and experiences like a journal is not the implicit purpose, rather, the ethnographer is used as a tool for understanding members worlds. 

the third-person writer “reports from the outside what can be seen but makes no effort to get inside the minds of any characters” (Beiderwell and Wheeler 2009:393)  The techniques of third person highlight others’ activities and their concerns by attending to their interactions but without implying (or commenting on) their motivations and thoughts. (probation officer example). Writing becomes more observant. 

Focused third person point of view.   Field researchers might self-consciously write in ways that convey the point of view of one person directly involved in the scene or action. They may describe an event from that person’s actual physical location, by focusing on what the person saw, did, and said, by selecting details the person seems to notice, and by including the person’s own words describing the event. Though the researcher might make inferences about thoughts and feelings, he would base them on observable facial expressions, gestures, and talk, and describe these from the personal perspective. 

Shifting points of view: the ethnographer attends to and writes about routine events that occur frequently in that setting with an eye toward what events mean to members, often using a focused third-person point of view and frequently quoting members so that their voices can be heard. On the other hand, he cannot neglect his own involvement in observed scenes in making the observations and in writing them up. These recurring shifts of attention from self to others appear as substantive shifts in point of view marked by either a frequent use of “I” or a predominance of “he, ” “she, ” and “they” and then back again.

So overall, I learnt what an ethnographer is, how they see things from different perspectives, how there is no right or wrong way to write field notes, and that there are varying points of view that an ethnographer can shift in and out of.

17 million Americans have a past felony conviction and are eligible to register to vote right now. Many of them don’t know this. Until very recently, I was one of them. The absence of voting rights education for those with past convictions has been a quietly effective method of voter suppression for decades, and it’s time for that to change.

17 million citizens is equivalent of the populations of New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago, combined. This group must navigate their day-to-day knowing that a specter from their past will always be there in some shape or form, even after their proverbial debt to society has been paid.

Most of the restrictions for people with felony convictions are spelled out to avoid confusion — you can’t own a gun and must check the “Yes” box on job applications when asked about prior offenses.

What isn’t clear is whether or not you still have the right to vote, and the efforts to inform this massive segment of our society have ranged from paltry to needlessly vindictive.

In the mid-2000s, I was charged with and convicted of Endangerment, a Class 6 felony in Arizona. I was sentenced in 2004 and by 2006, I had completed that sentence — all jail time served, all fines paid, all probationary requirements satisfied.

I was naive enough to believe that I had put this chapter of my life behind me — a period in which I exhibited very poor judgment and endured the consequences with humility and contrition.

After my time was served and probationary conditions were met, there were zero resources provided to help me understand my voter registration eligibility. Endless internet searches led me to obsolete state and county edicts, laws from other states that were irrelevant, and misinformation of all stripes that yielded only confusion. Whatever quasi-helpful legal advice I found inevitably led to an attorney teasing a paid consult, which wasn’t in the cards for me as a 23-year-old college student.

I also briefly considered taking my chances and attempting to cast a ballot. I had been registered since I turned 18, so I assumed that my name may still be on the voter rolls, but the fear of additional prosecution quickly ended that.

I was right to be concerned. Earlier this year, in Texas, a woman with a prior conviction ​was sentenced to five years in prison for wrongfully filling out a provisional ballot, which was never even counted. In North Carolina, a dozen citizens (the “Alamance 12”) who attempted to vote in 2016 while on probation or parole​ have been charged with voting illegally and face up to two years in prison if convicted. That could have easily been me. These dissonant “letter of the law” responses to good faith acts of democracy are wildly inequitable.

Felony disenfranchisement laws vary widely by state, and the states with the most confusing laws take no proactive steps to educate the public. When Alabama changed its law last year to effectively re-enfranchise tens of thousands of voters, the secretary of state ​refused to spend state resources​ to help educate voters about changes to the law, allowing misinformation and confusion to spread about eligibility.

Most shockingly, several states incorrectly describe their own law on their voter registration forms and then ask the voter to attest to their eligibility under penalty of perjury. Nebraska, for instance, amended their law in 2005 to grant automatic rights restoration for those who had completed their sentence, but neglected to amend the accompanying federal voting form that stated otherwise. Earlier this year, the nonprofit Campaign Legal Center flagged this for election administrators in letters sent to six states​ with inaccurate or misleading registration forms, and several have taken steps to correct them, including Nebraska.

The problem states should focus on is not further punishing confused voters with convictions, but rather simplifying a baffling maze of laws on the right to vote for that exact group. Intimidating prosecutions like the Alamance 12 and a lack of public education threaten to deter millions of eligible voters from the polls.

In Arizona, my right to vote was fully restored after all obligations related to my sentence had been fulfilled. That was in 2006. After more than a decade of fruitless searching, I found the basic education I had been seeking from a Twitter post referencing voting rights restoration that led me to ​RestoreYourVote.org. I chose my state and answered a handful of “Yes” or “No” questions, and was told that I could indeed vote.

Because of the lack of available voter education, I lost my chance to vote in the 2008, 2012, and 2016 presidential elections and so many other federal, state, and local elections. But today, I’m eligible. In fact, thanks to Arizona permitting early in-person voting, I made the quick drive to the Mesa Recorder’s Office last week to cast my first ballot since the 2000 presidential election.

I’ve long believed, despite countless opportunities to embrace a more cynical perspective, that government exists to improve the lives of citizens, but those citizens need input for our system to be truly effective. Marginalizing a major swath of our populace, whether by negligence or malice, undermines that and keeps valuable voices on the fringes of society.

Those with past convictions who have completed, or are completing, their legal obligations are US citizens who deserve to know where they stand, and states relying on obfuscation or sheer indifference to deny rights to their constituents is fundamentally wrong. It’s an incredible feeling to be welcomed back to the table of participatory democracy after being told to leave, and I hope many get to share that experience very soon.

It took me 12 years to learn whether I could engage in the most essential of American rights. 17 million others need to know today.
