How do you evaluate 2014 in eSim and in eEstonia?
All in all, 2014 has been quite intriguing. We all felt the might of Poland and right after that – the might of China; there has been alliances made and also broken – many relationships ended, and some got warmed up. I can not give an exact judgement on neither eSim nor eEstonia. But it has been a year full of excitement and also drama.
Who do you think is the „star politician“ of 2014?
I do not think there was a star politician. There are merely those who have worked, and those who have not.
Could you name the most outstanding player, except yourself ofcourse? (There may be many)
Everyone that caught my eye, are still here. Pterek, the pole, was a brilliant player, in a bad way..
Newcomer of the year?
Unfortunately i can not name a certain newcomer – it’s been a long year and there has been many newcomers.
Would you like to give some advice or tips for 2015?
I advise people of eEstonia to be more active! Involve into the economy a bit more and also just, enjoy yourselves!
[b]Next interview is very special, because it is made about player who has been ages ago President of eEstonia, but now he is playing for Phillipines. He is very special player. He is probably the greatest journalist here in eSim, even game developers reads his articles. I was litte bit scared when i wrote letter him to have a little interview, i thought maybe he will just laugh me out of the room, but i was so wrong. He is one of the nicest player here with who i´ve been talking. Probably you already know who he is, let me introuduce u honoured journalist
Orlandio !
How do you evaluate 2014 in eSim and in eEstonia?
I think it was a pretty pathetic excuse for a year overall, Estonian (rl) defense minister Sven Mikser had two words for 2014: annus horribilis. I'm sure there was both good and bad in 2014 but what stuck with me are the reset, inactive and cheating staff members and several other pretty arrogant moves from our
Admin . Of course on personal level this year also brought my newspaper a much wider audience and big business profits but even there i've had quite a few "quarrels" with Admin which some might still remember. In that way 2015 seems to be starting quite the same, with already a scandal. The difference is that a year ago Admin was very quick to censor all the criticism, while these days he's nowhere to be seen.
In retrospect i find it somewhat miraculous that i didn't quit or get banned in 2014.
Newer player maybe dont know what was beginning of the eEstonia, maybe u can tell for us a bit about that
It was like with any beginning. Not many people around but all of them really active and focused, ready to start building their country. You never knew how changes and reformations would work out for the country, yet it was amazing to watch your ideas come to life and see country stabilizing. In a way it was like building a wall, wall of China (just kidding now but it was really hard and intensive back then). You get dragged this way, you get dragged that way, which way should you go? In retrospect it's really good to see that in the early days we picked the right way and in spite of a few rough times and struggles we've managed to keep on that same road without hitting the ditch. Herein it's appropriate to pay my compliments to the current government.
You are one oif the greatest maybe even a greatest journalist here is eSim, how u got this kind of job
The newspaper started out as a "presidential journal", to inform the people of state matters. Later when i became more and more bored with politics and eventually managed to pass on the reins of government, i started to discuss the matters which really interested me about e-Sim. The fact that by then i had been apart of how the country was operating and had been meanwhile keeping tense focus on foreign politics for over 6 months, had given me a very competent understanding of e-Sim mentality - what to write about, how to write about it and to whom write it. So perhaps i'm not as good of a writer as a good strategist. Either way it's always nice to receive compliments, so i thank you very much and may your newspaper do as good some day.
Would you like to give some advice or tips for 2015?
There's plenty of New Year's wishes yet i think the most appropriate as well as the most talked about is
Admin should do a thorough restart (not a reset ) on his communication policies. If he fails to then this game will simply end up with a small circle of players, some of whom are old business moguls looking to gain more and more profits, while others are (so to speak) "passers" - they play a few months, buy gold a few times and leave for another game. This maybe suits Admin right now but the ugly truth is that a game can't stand on that kind of people alone, it needs a vibrant community. This is something this game has lacked for quite a while now and the situation is getting worse by day. So i would definitely suggest Admin to look into that.
As far as Estonian local politics go, i have nothing but salutes. I'm one of those conservatives who believe the proven module is the best and you shouldn't mess with it. So i have only these words: Stick to the road gentlemen (and a lady).
What to say for conclusion? I will quote once again Sven Mikser, this year has been like annus horribilis. From those interviews we saw that admins dont do good work or how badly they made mistakes about this Christmas gift bug.Also they were disturbed about this reset made few months ago. Personally i cant valute whole year but i was disturbed about this gift bug too. Generally i think at least about eEstonia, they are satisfied how our country is ruled, only disturbance is maybe that we have very few players. I sincerely hope that in 2015 this problem will disappear.

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.
