FilthyRich- Alright, since I've been democratically elected to present first.
FilthyRich- I'd like to start off with a story.
FilthyRich- A story about how my life has been turned 180 degrees.
FilthyRich- It'll take me about 60 seconds to describe.
FilthyRich- So, sit in your chair -- and enjoy.
Fionia- get on with it
FilthyRich- I grew up on the East Coast -- a rough town -- that is famous for it's sandwhiches.
FilthyRich- Anyways, I decided to play basketball
FilthyRich- But some roughs beat me up.
FilthyRich- Oh dratz.
DerpyHooves- Straight from the Emerick playbook.
Fionia- Akhraziel, you're up
Akhraziel- The United States has been growing exponentially in the last few months
Akhraziel- we've overcome great difficulties in regards to Russia and the disintegration of VETO
Akhraziel- Its time for the peopel to elect a candidate with
Akhraziel- the executive experience needed to propel our nation into a new era
Akhraziel- of power and prosperity
Akhraziel- and I believe that that candidate is myself
Akhraziel-
Fionia- all set?
Akhraziel- yeah
Fionia- candidates, just say "done" when you're done with your answer
Fionia- Sermok: you're up
Sermok- Hi
Sermok- I'm a QM for the Army and the susa ambassador to ireland
Sermok- I know the issues that face this nation
Sermok- I've struggled with them my whole time that I've been here
Sermok- from trying to raise the money to start a company
Sermok- to staying excited to hit in battles where tanks make me seem almost insiginigant
Sermok- I have the drive the ideas and the ability to run this country
Sermok- done
Fionia- FilthyRich?
FilthyRich- Alright, apologies for the previous introduction
FilthyRich- I'd like to reintroduce myself on a more serious note.
FilthyRich- While the other candidates preach that they are the "correct" candidate -- I believe there is no such thing as a "correct" candidate.
FilthyRich- All three of us (excluding that fgt ZORRO) in game have contributed a lot to our nation.
FilthyRich- I established the Department of the Interior two terms ago.
FilthyRich- Akhraziel is a wonderful statesman.
FilthyRich- Sermok is a quarter master for our nation's armed forces.
FilthyRich- One thing we all share is this: committment.
FilthyRich- So, my opening statement is this : Vote for anyone -- except ZORRO.
FilthyRich- Thank you, that is all.
Fionia- ok
Fionia- our first topic for questions is about cabinets
Fionia- Sermok or Sermokala, whichever one of you is connected...can you explain your decision to not change the cabinet at all?
Sermokala- I would enjoy that
Sermokala- I don't belive in a cabinet connected to a canidate
Sermokala- I wand an organic cabinet
Sermokala- that naturaly grows new talent and rewards old talent
Sermokala- that don't have to be afraid about loseing their job beacuse one canidate lost the election or decided to not run again
Sermokala- I don't belive that all the hard work that these people put in to help run the country should be cast aside for a simple election
Sermokala- I want any and all citizens to be able to realisticaly become a cabinet secretary
Sermokala- by starting as a deputy and learning what it entails
[2012-05-03 20:47:30] <Sermokala> and them earning the spot
though their preformance and their ideas
Sermokala- not though some connection that they have on the campaign trail or being put in a posision for some votes
Sermokala- I want the best of the best
Sermokala- and not just a bunch of yes men that will help me get elected another month so they can keep their job
Sermokala- done
Fionia- ok
Fionia- Akhraziel, FilthyRich: you have a few minutes to question Sermokala on this answer
FilthyRich- Interrogate? Sounds fun.
DerpyHooves- reaction/response is also okay ;P
FilthyRich- Why do you claim that all cabinet members are "yes men"?
Sermokala- I don't
FilthyRich- When I served on LH's cabinet -- we all got in fights over some stupid shit.
FilthyRich- However, it worked out quiet well, if you haven't noticed.
Sermokala- as would happen with the best of friends
FilthyRich- But you claim that people were picked to "claim the votes" and "act as Yes Men"
Sermokala- but that doesn't say anything about how well you did your job
Sermokala- I said I don't want that to be a modivator
Sermokala- having your best friend as an sot would be good
FilthyRich- Our country has grown? We have large infrastructure systems? We have grown monumentally. When I joined, we were one region.
DerpyHooves- Time.
DerpyHooves- A little clarification
DerpyHooves- The format is 5 minute response from the candidate, 2 minute reactions from the other two, followed by a two minute rebuttal.
Liquid_Oxygen- Keep it movin' fellas.
Liquid_Oxygen- I believe Akhraziel is up? 2 minutes.
Akhraziel- I have no questions for Sermokala about his cabinet
Liquid_Oxygen- Alright
Fionia- ok
DerpyHooves- Alright, we'll just move on to the next question.
DerpyHooves- FilthyRich, your last article announced a cabinet then towards the end indicated that wasn't your real cabinet, yet you haven't released anything since on the subject.
DerpyHooves- What the hell?
Sermokala is now known as Sermok
FilthyRich- Of course, this is my favorite part.
FilthyRich- Well, I decided to wait till the last moment (here and now)
FilthyRich- To discuss my cabinet.
FilthyRich- First off, I find the whole VP position rather redundant in the sense that my VP will most likely be my CoS
FilthyRich- I would like to mention that my CoS will be Wreckbeard.
FilthyRich- A true friend -- and great Secretary of the Interior.
FilthyRich- My Secretary of Defense will be an honest -- and ambitious charachter ; Jenny aka 8675309
DerpyHooves- EIGHT SIX SEVEN FIVE THREE OH NIEEEENNN~
FilthyRich- He's led the Westpoint MU -- and deserves a shot at SoD (I held the spot for a week or so myself)
DerpyHooves- Go on.
FilthyRich- For the SecInt -- I am going to ask Baroque (inside joke) to play the role as SecInt.
FilthyRich- For SecState, I am going to stick Herr Kittbottoms (i.e. MrKittyBottoms).
FilthyRich- *into the role
FilthyRich- I am going to ensure that our senior cabinet members will stick around to instruct folks on how to operate these offices.
FilthyRich- Liquid_Oxygen has long promoted a "new cabinet" -- and here I am presenting it.
FilthyRich- That is all.
DerpyHooves- You have two minutes.
Liquid_Oxygen- Akhraziel, 2 minutes.
DerpyHooves- One at a time? Okay.
Liquid_Oxygen- Sorry, Derp
DerpyHooves- np
Akhraziel- No questions
Liquid_Oxygen- Sermok. 2 minutes then.
Sermok- Alright
Sermok- Thank you for listing off your cabinet
Sermok- and wasteing our time on something that could have been handeled with a simple campaign article
Sermok- of which you've posted zero
Sermok- and even the bear minimum of your presentation is simply a link to a music video
Sermok- do you want people to take you seriously as a canidate for the presidency or not?
Sermok- done
Fionia- FilthyRich: rebuttal? :3
DerpyHooves- Filthy, 2 minute rebuttal.
FilthyRich- Well, I am glad you noted the absence of this in an article. I had released this information to a journalist earlier -- however -- he'll be releasing it a bit late ;p
FilthyRich- As for your claim of "0 presentation" -- I have posted an article.
FilthyRich- It's not the most serious article -- but it's an article nonetheless.
FilthyRich- As for my music link -- it's a song I enjoy -- and I believe it tells more about a person than a simple article filled with lies will ever tell.
Liquid_Oxygen- Time.
FilthyRich- Music is a visible and audible definition of charachter.
FilthyRich- <apologies>
Fionia- Akhraziel
Fionia- you've been very quiet with your campaign so far
Fionia- do you have a cabinet prepared?
Liquid_Oxygen- 5 minutes.
Akhraziel- Yes I do
Akhraziel- My Vice President will be Lord of the Blings (Kazeal)
Akhraziel- Chief of Staff will be Wreckbeard
Akhraziel- Secretary of State will be George Patton
Akhraziel- GenPatton
Akhraziel- Secretary of Defense will be Pike
Akhraziel- Secretary of Media = Mark_M
Akhraziel- Secretary of the Treasury is Devoid
Akhraziel- Secretary of the Interior is Baarogue
Akhraziel- Im done
Liquid_Oxygen- Alright.
Liquid_Oxygen- Filthy, your reaction? 2 minutes.
FilthyRich- I love your cabinet, I forget to mention keeping Devoid.
FilthyRich- I really enjoy it.
FilthyRich- That is all.
Liquid_Oxygen- Sermok/Sermokala 2 minutes
Sermok- thanks
Sermok- This is again something that has always been and should be adressed in a simple campaign article
Sermok- the lack of either of my opponents doing this shows that they either don't have the intrest to run a serious campaign
Sermok- or quite simply don't care much about it
Fionia- ok then....
Liquid_Oxygen- Time
Fionia- Akhraziel: rebuttaL?
Liquid_Oxygen- 2 minutes.
DerpyHooves- With a capital L
Liquid_Oxygen- I do like a big reBUTTal
Liquid_Oxygen- Sorry. (shuts up)
DerpyHooves- thingsyoushouldlieabout.com
Akhraziel- Sermok I'm sorry that you think that my not posting a cabinet so soon is not showing enough interest
Akhraziel- however
Akhraziel- I take the time to analyze my decisions
Akhraziel- and come up with the best team possible to run this nation
Akhraziel- I would not hurry into something like that
Liquid_Oxygen- Aaaaand time.
Akhraziel- that could have immense ramifications on the future of our nation
Akhraziel-
DerpyHooves- Sorry, I fell asleep. Jeez guys.

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.
