Today I have a treat for you guys,
Lilith of Apollyon as agreed to an interview. So I tried to ask some questions to get some real insight to who this person really is. Some would say this person is overactive person who is in your face, and if he does not like you, you bet he will give you “the hoof”. However to those that know him, it’s part of his charm that brings people to him. As for me, Lilith of Apollyon is a bit of an elder. When I first started my newspaper Lilith of Apollyon came to me to help me out to become who I am now and every now and then I ask for advice. I know there are others such as 
Jude Connors , 
sheepshag and countless others when something confuses me but Lilith of Apollyon was there when I first started so like clockwork that’s who I ask first. To all of you who make this game just a little bit better this is for you….
Now without further ado, I give you my interview with
Lilith of Apollyon
1. I’m sure everyone is wondering the same thing, not that anyone dislikes you for it, but why do you use the My Little Pony theme?
Well, some people think it's a troll but it's honestly a great show. Maybe not for everyone, but it's very sincere. I appreciate sincerity
2. Have you ever had thoughts about running for president at any time? If so what would your goals be as president?
I decided against that at the outset, it's more worth than I'm really willing to put in and, like I've said, I want to see this game be a creation of new players. All us old guys from eRep should, as a group, stand back stop trying to control things and let the sUS take whatever shape it wants to. We should just be here to fill in the blanks.
3. What is congresses current goal at the moment if it’s public information? What is your opinion of this?
We're kicking around a few things, but mostly we're trying to clean up after the bombs I set off. We haven't found a new speaker, as of yet, so technically I'm still 'it'. I intend to bring up Taxes, which has sorta been avoided and we can't afford to sidestep anymore. Beyond that, it's a pretty open field. If you guys want to see anything, talk to one of us.
4. How has Top Gun affected your day to day game play?
Hahah! TOP GUN is my day to day game play. I mean, we're basically a collection of guys from eRepublik who just burnt out and, while we liked eSim, no one really wanted to have to deal with it all. Since I never did much on eRepublik, I took the lead on managing it but that's really my role. We're all familiar enough with the game and just get as involved as we want to be. When I log in, I deal with communes and production and money and stuff, make sure we're growing and deal with whatever other things I want to do after. It's a very free-form experience.
5. Do you have any criticism for our current president?
Not a bit, Liquid HOMICIDE's done a great job of turning things around. Sure, people complain about things but, honestly, if you look at where we are today and where we were two months ago, I don't think you can legitly complain too hard. We have functional markets, developing infrastructure and directions to move in. Can't say any of that about two months ago
6. What are your thoughts on the three new models that may be a part of eSim in the near future? Any concerns?
No, I really haven't dug into the material too much, though I'm considering making a donation to get involved with the Stock Market. More than anything, I just think it's great they're moving beyond the eRepublik experience. Even if they end up being total disasters, I think it'll be a blast. I love me some chaos and I love unpredictability. eRepublik got pretty predictable.
7. Considering our situation on the west coast and Alaska, I figured this would be a relevant question. How do you feel about the Russians?
Well, that's a bit of a funny question. I don't get all emotionally invested in it, so I think of everyone as potential friends even if I'm fighting with them. I like the Russians but when I like someone, I screw with them a bit and I like screwing around with Russia. They're okay guys, people shouldn't hate because of a game. Love and Tolerance, Friendship and Magic
8. last but not least, if someone were to want to play this game but have not started yet, what would be your argument for joining the USA as opposed to other countries?
The United States is developing and can still be anything it wants to be. I came in here and in the first few days led a rebellion, within a week started the coolest MU in town and within a month I was Speaker of the House. It's a completely open field and we're well on our way to becoming a superpower. Who else can say that?
Thank you
Lilith of Apollyon for giving your time up to be interviewed .
I have a few more announcements.
First of all I am still running for congress; expect to see more about this in my newspaper. If you have any questions for me and what I would do as a congressman please PM me and I will answer them, and with your permission post the questions and answers in my newspaper, I want those who would consider voting for me to know what their voting for so please don’t hesitate to ask, however I will write a presentation later, as I am busy with my MU and company at the moment.
Last but not least, I have finally created the SONS of LIBERTY MU and as of right now it’s free to join, so if you have not joined an MU, why not give this one a shot. I will be setting up a communing system but you are free to supply yourself if you would like to keep your job or would rather not, but communing will help the MU, when I get a system set up. I admit it’s a work in progress but I promise to get better as I learn the ins and outs of an MU. Also I want to start competitions such as 50/50 rallies where 50% of all bets will go to the winner and the other 50% will go to improving the SONS of LIBERTY MU. So if you like taking a few chances please stay tuned.
My next issue will be about the SONS of LIBERTY , stuff such as code of conduct, rules, communing system(optional) (all of which are subjected to change as I learn the ropes of an MU) so expect this in my next issue.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
Take part in numerous events for the E-Sim community.
