“Iceland is illegally hunting fin whales and selling them to Japan under the table. CCP, an Icelandic company, and the a mainstay of their economy, produces a poplar futuristic space-adventure MMO called Eve. Over 500,000 people play Eve.

So here’s how this operation works. If we can reach the Eve players with a message from the whales of Earth, circa 2012, we can leverage the power of the future to save whales today, and we will make heroes of the game, the players, the country, and everyone involved.

If you give everyone a way to win, we can save the whales. If, on the other hand we have to ‘fight the pirates’ we will fall with the remaining ecologies of Earth. The whales have produced a message for the Eve universe. The question is this: can you get them to listen?”
