Don't have one for the others, is this necessary? (This may have been asked before.. I admittedly jumped to the 4th page after reading most of the 1st.)


Not necessary. I already see posts at bnet and args.halo from people who have the same name as here. Right now there is alot of crossover and it adds to the community feeling when you can recognize each other.

Misson Statement

Ok, so I thought I'd have a shot at this before heading into work (I seem to be writing about 20 mission statements a day at the moment for the theatre, so I may as well use that experience here...)

*****begin*****

The [House of All Worlds/etc] began simply - as a bridging of the gap between souls who shared a common experience - a common knowledge that we are not alone. Some amongst us had found the ample evidence left for us amongst the tides of history. Some amongst us had seen the blinding flame of the truth first hand - recieved direct messages or visitations from Other Beings. All came together to share with each other, and with the world - to share our experiences, our knowledge, to reclaim the truth for those who have yet to see it.

Brought together by this common goal, [the House of All Worlds] strives to open the eyes of those who have not yet seen and to provide solace and support for those who have faced the eternal. For it is not our belief that all is well in Other Places. Many amongst us feel sorrow radiating from the stars. We dream of conflict, of a great peril approaching our tiny world. And so it is the primary aim of [the House of All Worlds] to discover the source, the origin of this great heartbreak and to do all we can to prevent it. The time for hiding from the truth has passed. We must awaken the sleeping ones of this world, relight the fires, and stand firm in the face of whatever great peril may come to us from beyond. Share knowledge with us, brothers, and stand beside us in these dark times.

*****end*****

Ok, so it got a bit dark there at the end, but I guess it's just a ten-minute first draft. I tried to use as much congruent language as I could without just putting an acrostic for FORERUNNER in it...

Let me know what I should change and I'll edit it later tonight when I'm back from work.

@ GameCatW

Yes, it did get a bit dark at the end but consider if this were all true. Which we are pretending it to be. I suppose the extermination of all sentient life in order to save the universe is a dark subject.

You also managed to merge an "About Us" with a "Mission Statement". Two birds as they say. Nice job.

I see that you used "House of All Worlds" as an example yet (to all) more and more, I am liking rush's suggestion of "Reclaimers of History". It ties into Halo and Iris quite well. Did someone say something about a vote?

Edit: Can you see what you can do with these...

Quote:
...to reclaim the truth from those who would bury it.


This implies that there is a current conspiracy to hide the truth. How about something like "...to reclaim the truth and hopefully our destiny."

Quote:
The time for hiding the truth has passed.


Same implication. I don't have any ideas though.

Great job. I don't work for the next 3 days so I'm sure I'll be around. PM me when you update.

Agreed. I prefer reclaimers. I think referencing the Halo myth itself is more important than referencing the book.

Glad you like it.

At the beginning of this I said that we would vote on a Mission Statement.
We don't know if/when we will be able to apply for membership with SOTA. Time might be running out.

There is no reason to vote when our only submission does such a good job of combining an "About Us' with a "Mission Statement" while defining this fictional world and our roles in it.

GameCatW? Can I post this on a public website?

Very interesting idea. Can't wait to see how this plays out. And I'm not good with names, so I'll leave that to you guys. Personally, I don't like names that acronym into a word (I've seen WAY too much of that), though they are interesting. Perhaps Reclaimers of the Lost?

Re: Mission Statement

If I had to choose now? I'd say that just plain "Reclaimers" is the one to go with.

I'd vote for either the Reclaimers of History or the POPROCS one.
