Therefore I decided to write down my first real article of this newspaper. And quickly enough the first topic came into my mind, Babybooms. Yes, this phenomenon has been in the Dutch (and I guess many more) community since I have joined this wonderful game. As we all know our player base is pretty low comparing to our enemies and has made people start up babybooms.
First what is a babyboom exactly? To start off, every new game needs players to play it, that’s a simple fact. So people of the game start informing their friends about it and if the games catches on, the game gets bigger and bigger in player base. Now e-sim isn’t really thát new (older then a year is my guess), but for every country, more players means more power. So players could start with spamming all around other type of games in one way or another. In the end, this is what a babyboom is, (a lot of) players who mass message in other games to join this game. Actually, in this particular game, referring with our own personal link makes people more motivated inform other players since it’ll mean more gold.
Then how can you reach all those to-be e-esim players with your babyboom? From what I’ve experienced is that a possibility, and the most simple thing) is to start spamming in chatrooms, or other forums. It will probably result in a ban because most of the times rules state you cannot spam or refer to other games. Although I understand that people can find this annoying, (Hell, I came to this game because of a spammer, although I reported him to the admins and didn’t use his ref link
), it could also mean to that game that the people who spam there could get interested in that particular game too. But that is another story now I’m just digressing.
Another type, wich is kind of similar to the previous one, is the spam by ‘pming’. In some games this type of spamming is harder to be banned for, but will usually still be banned if people report you. Even though the ban-risk is lower, the workload is a lot higher. Just think about it, click on profile-opening personal message-copying message+link-send it. These are all part of the progress you will have to do by EACH player. Of course, with some games it is easier to access certain things and there are certain shortcuts, but it will still be a lot of work.
Then, for the more advanced computer players under us, there are things called ‘bots’. I, however, am not such a type of computer player so I won’t go into the technical details. What is easy to understand however, is the automatic spam messaging of your message/ref link. Sadly these aren’t available to all of us, and so no easy gold gathering for most of you. And to get back to the babybooming, It comes in handy for countries since some of the players should be able to access some kind of bot. If my observations are right, this has been already been implied in some countries.
Babybooming is a handy thing for countries, and if well organized and with the proper materials, it will increase the quantity of the country player bases. It certainly is the quantity, because all new players will start as ‘newbies’ and therefore not experienced and ranked up enough to help out the country just yet. This article is all about the quantity and numbers, and not about how good those new players will be just yet. I do think, with the proper guidance, in time, a babyboom will be really helpful. And in the short time, well I guess we can all use some more gold

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.
