Article
Greetings again, Japan.
I read Neferpitou's article and, I have to say, I am not very satisfied. For the two articles I published, he didn't address a single point I made. BK has admitted he was fined by the Game Operators for defrauding Japan Org, but Neferpitou's article avoids the conversation and focuses on Boukun's criticism while implying that everyone who questions him is being controlled by someone else.
Consider this, Nerferpitou.
You signed an MPP with Lithuania, and you are Lithuanian. You seek closer relations with the Philippines, and BKthunder is Filipino.
Still, no one has accused either of you of being puppets of other nations.
Yet, when you are challenged to defend your decisions and when your decisions are questioned, you accuse those asking the questions of not acting in Japan's interest? You say I am controlled by America, but how has anything I've done helped America?
Does it help America that I have told everyone in Japan that BKthunder used his power as CP to siphon money out of Japan Org? Are you suggesting that there is some conspiracy by the American government to... what? Tell the Japanese people the truth?
Better yet, how does it help Japan that you returned this person, who has admitted being fined for defrauding Japan Org, to a position where he is able to abuse his authority?
I have seen no activity of them for 3 days at least, making our offers on product market empty. That's where BKthunder comes to help. He constantly keeps us full of products like gifts, food, weapons etc. Would you rather have nothing or have almost everything offered for you?
You should have read my article. As was said, offers were kept open for all of these goods except for Gifts, since my vMoF felt it did not further Japan's interests and that, when asked, my vMoF went to buy gifts anyway and was not able to find them at a reasonable price before you removed us from office.
I appreciate that you spoke to a GO, who told you "He used gold for rw and fights - haven't stole any" but, as I said, he wasn't looking very closely. I understood what the gold was used for when he withdrew it from Japan Org and I have taken pains to explain that was not what concerned me. My article goes on for several thousand words explaining the transactions that do concern me, but you didn't listen to any of it.
BKthunder withdrew Gold from Japan Org and used the funds in our brief war with China, no one is questioning this or suggesting this was improper. However, selling 10,000 Diamonds to Japan Org for .006 Gold each is improper and he was fined by our Japanese GO for this action. This is why you have to take the time to audit Orgs if you are suspicious. If you just ask a GO to 'look' they don't know what to look at and will only take a brief glance to look for anything obvious. You have to take the time to find the specific transactions and do the math.
Rather listen to me, after I did the math and rather than even check the math yourself, you just took the GO at his word. Even now, you believe that, after BKthunder has been fined for these transactions.
You have said you don't trust me and that's fine.
But if you don't trust people, you should trust math.
You have decided that you can't trust me for no reason, other than because my IP is from the United States. You have decided you trust BKthunder, even though he has been fined by the Game Operators.
But, I wonder...
Why don't you trust math, Neferpitou?
Are you afraid that Math is secretly working for the United States, too?
Love,

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.
