He belongs to the generation of a bit "younger" e-sim players, He started to play at day: 227
but so far He has done much more than many "old ones".
He is one of the most active congressmen, he was an intern in the Ministry of Deffence and sPajacyk's officer.
Currently he is also vice Minister of Internal Affairs, vice Minister of Education and vLider of Black-Zone MU, active member of IRC society. He also helps novice players and support young talents.
We all know our leading politicians, but not only them works for success of our sCountry.
There are also people who remain in the shadows, almost unknown, because they don't seeking fame, but they are the Ones whoreally deserve for our attention. Here is one of the finest and the most hardworking activists in sPoland. For all that haeven't heard of him, I present:
Nico Di Angelo !
<Shaphirca> Hello, Tell us something about yourself, what you do, how old are you, and so on
Nico Di Angelo I am 22 years old, I'm still studying and I reveal my real name only to people I trust
<Shaphirca> Where did you get your nickname? Is there a story associated with it?
Nico Di Angelo From what I remember, I chose this nickname when I registered in the game "Lord of Ultima", and I used it becauseI didin't wanted my friends to know it was me in case of failure. I liked "lord of Ultima", but I quitted the game and remained only as Forum Moderator there. Recently I started playing in the e-sim and decided to continue with this nickname 
<Shaphirca> What passions you in real? Do you have any hobbies?
Nico Di Angelo in the "Real" I do shopping, but only sometimes [add from redactor: "Real" is name of the market in Poland ] But seriously, I love to read books especially science-fiction.
<Shaphirca> Can you recommend something from your favorite books?
Nico Di Angelo I recommend work of Bova Ben and James White's series "Space Hospital"
and a novel trilogy "Olympic Death" Suzenne Collins, also the novel by Rick Riordan "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" and the continuation of the "Olympic Heroes" and "Family Chronicles Kane"
<Shaphirca> What were the beginnings of your game, I mean the first few days
Nico Di Angelo At the beginning, I read a lot about the game on the E-sim Center and Wiki.
I tried to understand how the game works and after few days, I joined the sPajacyk where I was ordinarry but active member for some time
<Shaphirca> But that changed verry quickly right? The first "important" function performed by you was the officer in sPajacyk. What was the job, was it hard, and what did you accomplished?
Nico Di Angelo I got the power to set orders, and an access to a new (new for me) world - a channels IRC for MU.I tried to always gave current orders (of course if possible) And did I do good? I don't really remember In the meantime, I helped to AlliasSs on IRC and I replaced him on MU when he was absent. I also decided to stay ther after his return.
<Shaphirca> I discovered also that at the beginning of your political career you criticized dardra in his
election presentation. Can you briefly explain "what was the problem?"
Nico Di Angelo Hmm ... I remember that He deliberately writed Kghan's nickname incorrectly and I completely disagreed with his presentation. He preached there slogans such as independence, which he understood as not groveling to the government. Overall, He attacked the government strongly without any reasonable arguments. At that time kamil90 was much more active (honestly i didn't respect him much but dardra really admired him)He at that time hated the government and, like a parrot he duplicated nonsense charges, in my opinion Anyway in June, dardra was one of the initiators of action, that suppose to help common people understand the market, he writted a few articles that were in my opinion ery helpful he stop to criticizing the government - as Kozarz wrote in his presentation:"Dardra learned to work with people he considered to be evil"
<Shaphirca> I understand
Were there consequences after that?
Nico Di Angelo definitely yes: D It is easier for us now, to understand eachother if it would be without this disagreement
And beyond the social, no, unless maybe a few people dislike me: D
<Shaphirca> It is hard not to like you
What for you is the most boring part of the politics?
Nico Di Angelo congressman work is about clicking Yes / No. The Acts appears at random times and usually everyone knows how to vote. Of course, sometimes there are some interesting voting such as voting on the MPP with Portugal in which several peopledecided to vote against, but on the Congress IRC channel, nothing happens, and Congress is not informed about anything in advance
<Shaphirca> What else would you like to achieve in e-sim? What are your plans and dreams for the future in game?
Nico Di Angelo participate on lots of votings and to win a medal Battle Hero Because, unfortunately, but I cannot hope for nothing more
<Shaphirca> And, for example, would you like to become president?
Nico Di Angelo You know, I think everyone wants to be a president, but I am a realist.
<Shaphirca> Why? I think if you would try to start in the election you might have a chance.
Nico Di Angelo Maybe near the day 400 I'll try, if the e-sim will not destroy all the servers in the world
<Shaphirca> How so?
Nico Di Angelo It's a joke, because recent crashes in the e-sim really occur frequently and last for a long time.
<Shaphirca> What do you think about the new alliance, "OMEGA"?
Nico Di Angelo OMEGA is a Ramzes's great mistake in my opinion, TM was not an ideal alliance, even worse, 17 countries (And this was supposed to be before we left) is way too much, but making such a decision without any discussions with the Congress and society is a big fail, which should not be forgotten. There are many doubts for the countries in the alliance. In fact, we have a situation in which Poland and China will be pulling, as two dumb mule, 4 other countries. Sweden is a country that has left the TM in a very bad moment.Ffor a long time they did not help us, and went to fraternize with the enemy - Spain. Portugal is also our enemy.They were in ALPHA, and when the alliance fell, they left them, and also began to cooperate with Spain The UK is not even worth to talk about and Ukraine don't know what really wants. The present composition of Omega should be called 2+4.
<Shaphirca> If you had the opportunity what would be the name of a new alliance and which countries would be in its composition?
Nico Di Angelo I haven't chance to work at the Ministry of Forgein Affrais, but if I would be able to create the alliance,it would be based on NWO (New World Order)
<Shaphirca> Explain please
Nico Di Angelo I would have thought of an alliance Poland + Lithuania + China + Serbia + 1 Other-Country against the whole world. Assuming of course, that the Serbs would be able to unite. And as for the name at this moment I have no idea. I would try something with words Liberation, Brotherhood, but I'm not sure what would it be.
<Shaphirca> How do you like the idea of game administration to increase the limit of food and gifts?
Do you have any other ideas on what else could be improved in the game mechanics?
Nico Di Angelo The first part: It's stupid. It will increase the abyss between rich and poor. I earn from work about 17 PLN which means that after buying food, even I can't afford to buy all set weapons/gifts So why would I need an increased limit? In the second part I will not answer, because I don't know much about this
<Shaphirca> And what about "the past? Do you have some anusual memories of the e-sim?
The events that you will remember for a long time?
Nico Di Angelo The nicest moment, which I remember was my smile when I saw results of the elections for Congress I think I will remember this moment for long I didin't expect such big result, I was afraid that it will be really low, because the most people know me only from IRC and many of them had their own candidates.In the best case, for what I strongly hoped, I suspected 40 votes just enough to enter.
<Shaphirca> At the end of our interview would you have something to say for people? You can also greet someone
Nico Di Angelo Damn, this is difficult, because I do not want to skip anyone I would like to greet the members of sPajacyk, all members of the Black Zone - Regular, free Military Units for active people in IRC, Wodorotlenek, Kalista, dardra and all who read this article
<Shaphirca> Thanks for the interview and wish you many successes in life and in game: *

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.
