AOC and Among Us: As you may know, I’ve been streaming on Twitch and figuring it all out. Many of my streams get between 2 and 7 viewers and for a new streamer, this is a great. I hope I can grow the viewership, but it takes time an effort. It ain’t easy.
As you may know, Congresswoman Alexander Ocasio-Cortez, has campaigned for getting people to register to vote and vote in this all important election. It is our civic duty to vote and I encourage all of you to do so, no matter what political party you belong too. The national elections are important, but so are the local elections.
As you may know, the computer game Among Us has become amazingly popular. It’s a fun, social deduction, traitor game. It’s fast, it can be played with up to ten players, it’s colorful, filled with little tasks and has a Werewolf mechanic where the ‘traitors’ have to kill the other players. Once a body is found, a debate and vote happens for the non-traitors to try and determine who was the murderer and vote them out of the game.
As you may not know, AOC mixed politics and the Among Us game successfully the other night. In less than 36 hours, the idea was born to have AOC play Among Us to promote voting and to have some fun at the same time. With the help of a few friends and volunteers, equipment was purchased, training happened as well as advertising. The Twitch event had tens of thousands of live viewers and in only a few short days has over 5 Million views. Amazing. I’ve watched about half of it and it was very funny.

Give yourself 100 XP! (We really need to track this and give bonuses to people that gain levels.) And until we meet again from across the internet, keep your dice dry, your rulebooks ready and your feet strong, so they can go vote.
