Thanks a lot Alex !
For me it works well for this first introduction of the organization. It
is broad enough to give us a good amount of freedom regarding mission
creation.
I just have a few comments :
- last paragraph (New Life), do you reckon we will be able to develop
storyline and missions around this aspect ?
- Given that many missions will revolve around playing with information
on the web, do you think we could mention that in order to reinforce the
link between this presentation and the actual activity of the player ?
Not bluntly 'play with information', but through the activities
(economical, environmental, etc), vaguely mention how it's done - my
idea here is to give a hint of the underground activities the player
will have without actually saying it.
- I liked the idea of "One", do you think we could mention it maybe in
the overall goal of the organization ?
- Is there a way to give a hint of the departments of the organization ?
We don't know exactly what they are yet, but maybe it would be
interesting to mention the kind of concrete activities the organization
is into, once again to create a parallel between the official activities
(education/research/lobbying/social work/etc) and the ones the player
will do through the missions. Maybe with a paragraph on how we actually
aim at the goals mentioned ? What do you think ?
We can discuss this, but for me what you wrote is perfectly ok for our
first version.

This is a rough draft for the "about us" or Home Page of the
organization. I called the company *_United Ecosystems_* (working title):
The website:
*Who We Are*
*_United Ecosystems_*is a non-profit organization dedicated to bringing
humanity to the next level of wisdom and peace. It's aim is no less
than to reshape the way we do business, the way we consume, and we see
our place in the Universe.
*For a New Business Environment*
To the busines world, the organization is advocating a new deal, moving
away from a "profit-centric" ideology. Our global capitalist model has
brought tremendous increases in quality of life and life expectancy.
However, there is a growing consensus that our planet will not be able
to sustain a “growth at all cost” ideology. United Ecosystems is
implementing projects that support the idea of amore sustainable
economic model, where short term profits are no longer the only
benchmark for measuring success. Each business venture has an impact on
our economic and ecological systems, locally and globally. We are
dedicated to encouraging and promoting the ones that reinforce the
sustainability of our planet, and the well-being of humans across all
cultures and ideologies.
*For An Energy Revolution*
On the environmental front, United Ecosystems is a catalyst for global
sustainability.We promote climate stabilisation and the preservation of
sensitive ecosystems throughout the world. Our actions first
concentrated on projects that lowered the emission of CO2, with great
success. We are now moving to the next phase, as we aim at dramatically
decrease our Energy Footprint per person. It is imperative that we act
rapidly. The pace of climate change is increasing and it will take a
large scale effort to reverse this trend. In order to do so, United
Ecosystems is becoming a leader in implementing new non-polluting
technologies and programs, helping to replace the outdated and often
very dangerous sources of energy of the 20th century.
*For a New Life Paradigm *
Ultimately, United Ecosystems pursues the ultimate goal of changing our
way of seeing ourselves in the Universe. That is the only true way to
change our behavior on planet Earth. From Galileo to Isaac Newton and
Albert Einstein, we have learned that great changes on Earth are always
preceded by a new revolutionary human perspective of the Universe. Now,
new discoveries in cosmic science force us to re-assess our
understanding of the fabric of space. We now know that space and time
are relative and often distorted from our point-of-view. United
Ecosystems is actively promoting research through grants in such areas
as exo-planets, deep space imagery, and ‘’dark energy’’.
