Article
Gumawa ako ngayon ng article para magpaalam. Hindi naman sa magku-quit ako sa e-Sim, magiging 2-clicker lang ako from now on, available pa rin ako sa IRC pero hindi na kasing active ng dati.
Pasensya na kung masyadong mahaba, pero since madaming humihingi ng rason, at siyempre mga kaibigang hindi nais na umalis ako sa game (err, hindi naman talaga aalis, 2-clicker mode lang, uulitin ko lang
). Tingin ko'y mas mabuting ipaliwanag ko nang maigi ang sitwasyon at hayaan kayong humusga kung tama ang desisyon ko. Saka nagmamadali ako nang gawin ko 'to, marami pa akong gagawin eh.May nangyaring hindi maganda kagabi at na-realize kong mali ang nagiging focus ko sa mga bagay-bagay. Marami akong napapabayaang responsibilidad in RL, dapat ko nang ilipat ang aking atensyon sa mga iyon. Please, huwag niyo nang banggitin kahit saan kung ano man ang nangyari kagabi, kung alam niyo. Ayaw ko nang maalala pa 'yon.
Anyway, simulan na natin ang pagpapaliwanag, dahil maraming nagtatanong kung bakit.
Alam niyo naman sigurong isa akong Computer Programmer. Pangarap ko nang maging Computer Programmer since Elementary, at hanggang ngayon, 'yun pa rin ang goal ko. (Matatawag ka nang Computer Programmer kung marunong kang gumawa ng computer program pero gusto kong maging full-time job ito.)
Pinilit kong makapasok sa magandang paaralan noong High School at College para marating ko ang mga pangarap ko. Marami akong na-sacrifice na free time during those 8 years na pinagsumikapan kong marating ang pangarap na 'yon. Nagpuyat ako halos araw-araw, maghapong nagpa-practice tuwing weekends.
Noong katapusan ng May ng nakaraang taon, may nagyaya sa akin sa GNOME Music. Matagal ko nang pangarap na maging member ng GNOME, at opportunity ko na'to para matupad ang isa sa malaking step tungo sa pangarap ko. Naging maayos ang sitwasyon hanggang mai-release ang pinakaunang stable version ng naturang program.
Dahil laging busy ang dalawang maintainer ng GNOME Music, sa akin nila pinagkatiwala ang pag-guide sa mga bagong contributor, at binigyan ako ng iba't ibang privileges sa team. Pero mula noong October, naging busy ako sa pag-aaral, pagkatapos ay saka sa e-Sim, kaya naman naging inactive ako doon. Since then, naging matamlay na ang team na halos wala na ring gaanong nagsasalita sa aming IRC Channel.
Naging masaya ako sa paglalaro ng e-Sim; sa katunayan, ito lang ang game na nilalaro ko. Nagkaroon ako ng maraming kaibigan, at habang patagal nang patagal, parami nang parami ang time na inilalaan ko para dito. Dahil na rin doon ay naging moderator ako ng ating IRC Channel, at naging Secretary ng Department of Technology and Communications.
Nitong mga nakaraang linggo ay napapansin kong maraming pasaway sa ating IRC Channel at hindi nakikinig sa mga warnings ko (well, may warning din sa shouts, pero wala rin namang nakikinig). Pakitandaan lamang na tulad ng lagi kong sinasabi, kapag nag-warning ako, sisiguraduhin kong mangyayari ang babala ko kung hindi kayo susunod. I've already kicked, banned, and lost at least 2 friends dahil sa mga ganitong bagay.
Nadarama kong ina-underestimate ng ilan ang mga warnings ko. Dahil dito, pinag-isipan kong mabuti ang maraming bagay - tama bang inuubos ko ang time ko sa e-Sim? Marami akong responsibilities in-game and in real life, pero malaking time pa rin ang ginagamit ko sa larong ito.
Kaya naman naisipan kong mag-focus na sa mga bagay na kailangan kong asikasuhin in real life - religion, studies, part-time job, computer programming at iba pa. Sa computer programming section pa lang, marami akong goals na kailangang abutin: kailangan kong patunayan na karapat-dapat akong makasama sa GUADEC (GNOME event) na gaganapin sa France (may reimbursement pero siyempre kailangan ko munang mag-ipon at mangutang para makabili ng ticket worth-50k, dahil q5 ang ticket papuntang France
), tapos kailangan ko pang maghanda para sa Google Summer of Code, dahil kailangan ko ng pera dahil mahirap lang ako . Plus marami akong work sa aking part-time job na kailangang tapusin.
Sisikapin kong gawin ang aking mga responsibilidad in-game since online pa rin naman ako lagi - pagiging congressman ng ePilipinas, pagiging moderator ng IRC Channels at Forum, pagsu-supply sa Hukbong Katihan, etc. Pero lilimitahan ko na lang ang oras na gagamitin ko para sa mga ito (1 hour per day, okay na ba 'yun?
).
Available pa rin ako sa IRC tuwing 6pm-12am (except Thursdays as usual) pero sa GimpNet at hindi na Rizon ang focus ko. I-ping niyo lang ako kung kailangan niyo ako, at susubukan kung sumagot agad
. Tawagin niyo lang ako kung kailangan niyo ng tulong sa mga battles sa mga susunod na araw, handa akong mag-T-2 para sa Pilipinas
Sorry sa mga kaibigan kong ayaw akong maging inactive, kailangan kong magdesisyon, at ito na ang napagdesisyunan ko. Salamat sa mga nagtiwala sa akin at nagbigay sa akin ng mga tungkulin na kasalukuyan kong hawak - sisikapin kong magawa pa rin ang mga ito. Ayaw kong mag-resign, hindi ko ugaling mang-iwan ng responsibilidad eh
Anyway, 'yun lamang. Sa dami nang kaibigan ko, ayaw kong mang-iwan ng mensahe isa-isa at baka may malimutan pa akong pasalamatan. Saka for the third time, uulitin ko - hindi naman talaga ako aalis, magiging less active lang kumpara dati. Napakarami kong naging kaibigan dito kaya hindi ko kayang iwan ang e-Sim
.
By the way, kung may 50k kayo na RL PHP, pautang

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.
