Thank you very much for your support over the past 7 months. Its been thoroughly enjoyable to provide you with the "ALL ALLIANCE NEWS AND STATS", but lately my journalistic creativity has been taking off. In secura I have a different type of article titled "Top 10", and I wanted to incorporate this in Primera aswell.
So, the Sledge will have 2 articles weekly.
1) ALL ALLIANCE NEWS AND STATS
2) PRIMERA TOP 10

Number 10: Alarm Bells are ringing! The total number of citizens playing since the introduction of secura has plummeted. There is now 16,376 citizens world-wide . Unfortunately I have been tracking this stat, and this is down from 23,216. This is a loss of 6820, or for those % buffs, 29.4% decrease in active citizens. Hopefully soon, the veteran players will soon turn their interest back to primera, coz lets face it, primera is where its at!
Number 9: When new countries are introduced into the game, most players always say "There definitely are not going to be any players joining that country. Well, this time around, there was a BIG WINNER, and a BIG LOSER. Czech Republic defied the odds claiming 246 citizens! This puts them in 24th place, and most likely will need this number to survive in this volatile area of the world. Belarus, shame shame shame, it makes you ever wonder why this country was introduced. They have claimed 36 citizens . Shame shame shame.
Number 8: The demise of newspapers. Look there isn't anything exciting at all about this. The other day, there were 3 articles on front page with less than 50 votes. Now, even as we speak, as soon as these articles are removed, 5 are in line with less than 50 votes. Is this because people cant be bothered to vote, or is it that the main writers have moved all their creative juices to secura. So get behind great articles, vote them up, and give them the credit that they deserve.
Number 7: All the money is piling into secura and alot of people have been criticizing the admin that they are going to let go of keeping up with primera, BUT KUDOS TO THE ADMIN. New countries, new perks, new additions, being able to buy membership with gold. Excellent work and the admin gets the sledge's official thumbs up! This is one of the best additions that I have seen in the game for some time!
Number 6: Party elections, usually not an exciting time, but for esims largest political party Front Zjednoczonej Prawicy these guys get down to it! Campaigning, attack ads, these guys have got the works! From a possible 283 votes, 232 party members got out to the voting booths and voted. An 82% turn out rate! Pretty damn impressive. Sure beats the hell out of the real life United States voting record average of 48%
Number 5: Many never thought it was possible, but the United States has been taken out! I am still trying to figure out which was more improbable, Poland taking out USA, or was is China taking out Indonesia when every round had a Q5 hospital and Q5 defense system. This move by Poland has no doubt sent shock waves through the game, and also through the alliances. Poland made minced meat of Russia, and then one could say that they did the same to USA. For USA and AGC there will no doubt be alot of soul searching over the next few days. Poland are now trying to create a world wide belt of owned territories, they have now moved into Spain!
Number 4: Battles are generally abit of a bore, except of course the last two minutes when all attacking and defenders go AWOL. One battle which I had the pleasure of watching was round 3 of the battle between Israel and Turkey! From a battle round with over 50 million damage, the difference was 5810 , or when you think about it, one beserk from a player with about 300 strength with Q1 weapons.....wow.....this was a cracker, and I dont think I will see for some time. One of these battles comes around in a blue moon. It was great stuff!
Number 3: Esim or online dating? Canadian CP Owenhargreaves took journalism integrity, or perhaps lack of, to a whole new level this week, pursuing another player Plesen in this article . The hippy yobo that desperately needs a hair cut went out on a limb and took the top article honours in less than 12 hours. I must say, quite impressive indeed, and even more impressive, Plesen responded with a kiss, and a Q5 ticket to go and visit. Owen makes all of us ugly guys and nerds look good!
Number 2:Special Items were introduced into the game . Do I like this or not? Well, here is the deal, of course this makes the stronger and get stronger, and the weaker get stronger, but no where near as the stronger. I do to a certain degree like this, as it will potentially change the game even more. A player with 200 strength less than an opponent BH hunter can sneak in with the extra bonuses and catch them by surprize. But I will say, it seems that this feature should have been released later on down the track as people are just getting used to taking the houses and estates into account. Then again, primera did need something to boost the dropping number of citizens. Hopefully this will spark their interest.
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.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
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.
