I agree with Edo’s assessment of how the post’s format probably led to a poor reception from the Forum community.
It’s a bit unclear what you want people to do—just play the game to learn about EA? (If so, this audience probably knows quite a bit already.) Are you looking for playtesters to provide feedback?
Using a foundation name as a username is fine, but might lead people to perceive this as a commercial offer of some kind, or just to be confused about who’s actually writing the post. I’d recommend starting off with an explanation of what the Foundation is and what your general goals are, rather than jumping straight into the game.
Thank you for your feedback. The Fugue Foundation is the nonprofit I run, which is dedicated to using open source technology to promote/further the principles of effective altruism. I have updated the bio for the profile to reflect this. Small but growing, we were fortunate enough to present at the EA Globalx Unconference this year.
