Well, it's not as bad as it sounds or as the picture says (although it DOES say a thousand words
). As somebody smart and muscular once said - I'll be back!
But for a couple of months now, you won't be seeing so much of me. When possible, I will still try to 2-click, but I won't be writing articles and I won't be active in the game life + there is a chance you won't be getting answers when you send me something in PM.
Reason for me taking some time from the game is single - I'm bored of it. It's not that the game is bad or anything - I think it's awesome and that (most of the times) our GOs are doing awesome work which should not be underestimated. It's just that for now I've been addicted to this game for over 9 months and I'm just not that interested in it anymore. In the old times I might have put my rl aside for the "important things in e-Sim" but now I just can't see the point and will take a vacation, to come back when the game feels more interesting again.
While I'm at it, I want to thank some people of this game... I just happen to think that the most important thing of this game is communication between players. There's so many of them that please don't be offended if you don't get mentioned:
Phobas - that's where it all started last year, that's who invited me to this game... So of course I start with him.
Executor The Great - really a great pal, has helped me with this newspaper... Thank You!
Matte Black and 
fogfighter - I think of them as of my best Sim-friends - we've had SOOOOOOOOOO many SOOOOOOOO great talks. I'd also thank 
Mauri Maturi , a fellow Beatles-lover and 
jij5354 , my favorite Estonian with whom I've also had great talks.
Hasisas and his MU , 
lokiju , 
Sharous , Voldemortas - my favorite Lithuanians. Also a Lithuanian, my favorite employer - 
Mozura
Pippis Pappa , along with 
Hamsik - favorite Swedes
(by in-came CS)
FurcE - I know him from the "(OTHER)" server, where he goes by a different name. When it comes to me, he's the best MU leader there is (ya'll know - THERE, in the"OTHER" server) and has given me some pretty good advice about this newspaper.
Pentito - a merry man that once interviewed me.
EnjoyMe - Probably my youngest friend in this game - she just joined our community but has already won my 1st place as the best newspaper of this game!
atixs - really the most valuable member in the Estonian government and also 
puruluks , who is a very smart Estonian, too.
essex and Wayne Kerr - my favorite GOs - You've gotta give them some slack, people!!! Also, in that list would be Evilorkie, who unfortunately has changed his nick to...
z0mbiekiller96 - My favorite nazi!
Ameshanu - my first interview and a great and decent Aussie
misapati - commander of a black-op called "The Ministry of Fun" and Spe4rm4n , with whom I've shared a few fun projects.
Also, I've just gotta thank all those who have given me their interviews, all those who have taken interviews from me, all those who have voted and subbed and commented for my articles and of course all those that I've invited to this game and that have actually STAYED.
Thank you! You make this game worth playing!
So long... and thanks for all the fish. Over and out!-
Orlandio

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.
