Admin
If you scroll down and read through the comments you’ll see there was much confusion and even some calling it an unfair thing to randomly send players prizes on their e-mails. Now, while I don’t think it’s really unfair (if it’s truly random then blame 1’s and 0’s) I do like the idea of doing the occasional event that gives people prizes and I think it’s too neat of an idea to give up on after only 1 time, especially since only one player called it unfair as of time of writing this, aaaaand that seems to be the reason why Admin doesn’t want to make another one.
So, how to fix this? Simple, make it a raffle lottery instead. Allow players to buy a raffle from the Special Items section every month up till the time the numbers are drawn, limit it to one ticket per person MAX to keep things fair, or if you want to incentivize premium sales allow players who’ve purchased premium to have 2 or 3 tickets.
Ok, so imagine day 1 of every month Admin puts out an article revealing what’ll be that month’s prize (exclusive equips, for example), people can do to the special items tab and buy themselves a ticket (50-100 gold seems reasonable) up till the last day of that month, at which point from all the raffle tickets sold one will be randomly chosen and gifted the advertised prize. Then the new month rolls around, Admin makes another article revealing who won the prize and announcing the next thing that’ll be going into the lottery.
Here, I’ll even give a few ideas for prizes and you guys tell me what you think.
Exclusive Equipment - Exactly what it sounds like, the recipient is awarded with a powerful equip that no other person in the game has had so far. Maybe to make it even more special make it an un-auctionable equip, that’ll make people want to participate in the raffle even more if it’s good!
Buffed-Up 4 A Month - The winner gets free 50% damage for a month, or they will have 20 food and gift limits daily instead of the usual 10, or they’ll have 100% critical chance. Whatever so long as it buffs them up.
Badge - You know those badges that some players have over their pictures on their profile? The winner of the lottery could be awarded with one of those and be allowed to name themselves whatever they want. King/Queen of [country], for example.
Increased Stats - Give the winner 50-100 free strength, or raise their chance to avoid damage, or decrease the likelihood of missing a hit, increase damage, etc etc.
Gold - Maybe if there was a month where few people participated, or if we’re halfway through the month and few people have bought a ticket, put out a new article declaring that to get more people into participating there’ll also be a certain amount of gold (let’s say 3 or 5 times the price of a ticket) to be given as a prize. The people who’ve already bought a ticket have only had their investment made even more valuable and the people who were on the fence may have been enticed into playing.

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.
