So, alright. I suppose I'll run for President, again.
I won't b/s you about any sort of gigantic new ideas I want to try, as most of us know, being CP is mostly a matter of tending to the right button presses.
I intend to keep battles open along our borders, since we support Alliance priorities with our MU's and I think less engaged citizens prefer to fight where they can see stars and stripes. That's all just fine, we still pull our weight.
I do have one new thing I'm interested in doing. We have a lot of money and I've been trying to figure out a way of spending it that really benefits everyone and doesn't require going on IRC. I've come to the conclusion that we have enough in reserve and make enough that we can afford to just supply everyone (that's willing to fill out a supply form on a daily basis).
I haven't decided how much supply we'll offer, but I'd venture a guess along the lines of 10 Gifts and 100 Q1 weapons a day. That should provide a nice supplement for most people, encourages people to fight and probably most importantly (to me, anyway) means the average citizen who works and buys in our markets can expect to see something back from that.
I tend to dislike using google forms, but it assures some basic level of activity in exchange for some basic level of supply. And, really, I think that's where we're at as a country, these days. Nobody wants to hang out on IRC to get supplies, no matter what's on offer and when I've tried it's just felt like a burden to spend so much time keeping an eye on everything for, literally, no reason.
I still intend to run Hell on Wheels when we have an important battle. Maybe I'll also do it on a weekly basis at a particular date and time. I have another, venue other than IRC, that will be more stimulating than sitting around in a dead chat for hours waiting for pings. National Movie Night. Yeah, I like that idea. I can't provide details here because something something links to potentially copyrighted material something, but I'll make sure anyone that's paying attention will have access to the information.
Other than that, what's there to say, really?
I think McDonalds is serving lunch, now, so I'm going to go eat a Big Mac with my fiancee's disability money ,like a good American.
Catch you on the flipside.
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.
