Liquid_Oxygen- 5 minutes
FilthyRich- Well, this is a good question.
FilthyRich- This term, I have installed safeguards -- or will be installing safeguards to keep my ass out of that org -- at all costs.
FilthyRich- a) The Secretary of the Treasury will be approved by Congress, not just myself.
FilthyRich- b) I will not have the org password past the first 12 hours of my administration.
FilthyRich- c) If I need funds, I will have to go through Congress to get them.
FilthyRich- Basically, I won't have access to the shit -- but on another note -- I made money for the National Org, just sayin'.
FilthyRich- That is all.
Liquid_Oxygen- Sermok, 2 minutes reaction
Sermok- alright
Sermok- The last thing we want is more procedure
Sermok- B and C are just bad ideas
Sermok- a 12 hour wait is nothing if you want to steal money or dammage the economy
Sermok- let it be clear that it wasn't a mistake that he made doing it
Sermok- it deliberatly changed the peg
Sermok- without warning and cheated some people out of their money
Sermok- so that the national org "could make money"
Liquid_Oxygen- Time.
Liquid_Oxygen- Akhraziel, reaction: two minutes
Akhraziel- Ok so for b
Akhraziel- how would we know that you did this?
Akhraziel- It would be your word and your SoT's word that we would have to base that on
Akhraziel- and frankly after the fiasco
Akhraziel- most people arent willing to trust your word
Akhraziel- Second, I agree with Sermok
Akhraziel- in that I believe that it wasnt an accident but was a deliberate act
Akhraziel- and I dont think we should reward someone who did this
Akhraziel- by electing them to the Presidency
Akhraziel- done
Liquid_Oxygen- Thank you, Akhraziel
Liquid_Oxygen- FilthyRich 2 minute rebuttal
FilthyRich- The term fiasco is rather overblowing it.
FilthyRich- My records indicate a total of 60g was moved around -- not spent -- not lost -- merely moved around for a minor profit.
FilthyRich- Secondly, Devoid hates my ass.
FilthyRich- He wouldn't lie about locking me out -- he's already done so once before.
FilthyRich- Lastly, it was a deliberate act. I intended on making money -- I didn't consult the higher powers. No one was "ripped" -- they received the current market price for their gold/USD.
Liquid_Oxygen- Time!
Fionia- next question will be for Sermok
Fionia- What do you feel about the current NAP with russia? do you plan on renegotiating? do you think it's benefited the country?
Liquid_Oxygen- 5 minutes
Sermok- okay
Sermok- So the nap is tied into our rental agreement with them for 75g a month
Sermok- we all want to get cali back
Sermok- anyone who says otherwise is either deaf dumb or blind
Sermok- and we don't have to be scared of talking about this anymore
Sermok- but russia won't give it up for anything
Sermok-its the 13th highest worth region in the game
Sermok- and the cornerstone of their empire
Sermok- the only way that we can get back the regions realisticaly is joining tm and taking it by force
Sermok- which would be a horrible choice
Sermok- whats to say in a few months the war goes badly and we get re wiped
Sermok- russia won't offer us the same deal again
Sermok- we'll be in the same place that mexico is in
Sermok- by keeping the region to russia
Sermok- it gives us a lot of flexability
Sermok- and a good monthly income all the same
Sermok- the nation wouldn't be anywhere that we are now without it
Sermok- its a bad situation
Sermok- but we can only make the best of it
Sermok- done
Liquid_Oxygen- Akhraziel reaction 2 minutes
Akhraziel- There are actually quite a few ways that we can get Russia to give up Pacific Coast
Akhraziel- We can assist them in acquiring another high iron region
Akhraziel- (which Norway currently possess)
Akhraziel- in return for our two regions
Akhraziel- Done
Liquid_Oxygen- FilthyRich, you're up!
Liquid_Oxygen- 2 minutes
FilthyRich- Alright then.
FilthyRich-Correct me if I am mistaken, but I believe that Congress has based some of our budget on the rental fees currently received from Russia. I also see Russia as a generous patron -- rather than an oppressor. We have a high region that makes it cheaper for the average citizen to purchase food and fight -- thus increasing damage output.
FilthyRich- Another note -- I do not agree on locking ourselves into any military alliance or bloc -- as in women, I like more than one choice.
FilthyRich- That is all.
Liquid_Oxygen- Thank you
Liquid_Oxygen- Sermok, rebuttal 2 minutes
Sermok- okay
Sermok- akhraziels idea is a no go
Sermok- and I don't understand why he would propose it
Sermok- russia isn't going to give up the 13th best region in the game in the safest place in the world
Sermok- for a almost non developed region on the far side of sweden
Sermok- a country that hates russia
Sermok- and as for fr
Sermok- russia is our enemy
Sermok- make no mistake
Sermok- they're polite and they've been good to us
Sermok- but they want the pacific coast more then anything
Liquid_Oxygen- Time
Sermok- and they're willing to do anything to keep it
DerpyHooves- Alrighty.
DerpyHooves- Akhraziel, you've haven't released a lot of information during your campaign, declared pretty late and now have been pretty quiet for the debate. What gives? Why should anyone vote for a candidate that hasn't really articulated any position other than a foreign policy article?
DerpyHooves- 5 minutes
Akhraziel- Well, I was planning on releasing an article tonight but I mistakenly hit the wrong key and it was deleted
Akhraziel- However,
Akhraziel- why should people vote for me?
Akhraziel- I have more governmental experience than Sermok
Akhraziel- and am not tainted by a fiasco like FilthyRich
Akhraziel- I plan to release all of my plans further tonight
Akhraziel- as well as release them through this debate
Akhraziel- done
DerpyHooves-So, hold on
Liquid_Oxygen- Alright, Filthy, reaction?
Fionia- Sermok, 2 minute reaction
Fionia- or filthy
FilthyRich- Erm
DerpyHooves- lol
Liquid_Oxygen- Oop. My bad.
FilthyRich-Ok then.
DerpyHooves- Filthy it is
FilthyRich- Well, I agree that my background is some what tainted -- but people can change. I assure you of this.
FilthyRich- As for your cabinet -- I agree wholly with your cabinet -- and if I weren't including some newer people -- I would have a very similar cabinet.
FilthyRich- I applaud your planning -- and I do not find you in the least bit "silent".
FilthyRich- You are more highly skilled than Sermok -- of course.
FilthyRich- However, I dislike the fact that you point to my taint -- rather than my previous experience.
FilthyRich- That is all, thank you.
Liquid_Oxygen- Sermok, you're up 2 minutes
Sermok- alright
Sermok- to FR
Sermok- you don't have a taint on your background
Sermok- you were given the publics trust and you broke it
Sermok- without your word you are nothing
Sermok- and I don't think that experience is the only thing that someone needs to be president
Sermok- you can suround yourself with experience
DerpyHooves- Hey
DerpyHooves- Reaction to Az
DerpyHooves- Not Filthy
Sermok- oh yeah
Sermok- I was going to say az
Liquid_Oxygen- Too late. =P Time
Sermok- but my point is tht you can't do anything about your drive to be president
Sermok- alright
Liquid_Oxygen- Akhraziel, your rebuttal. 2 minutes.
DerpyHooves- If any members of the audience have questions for the candidates, please PM them to either me or Fi
Akhraziel-To Filthy Rich: I have included younger players as well
Akhraziel- George Patton is my SoS
DerpyHooves- Please don't barrage us with crap.
Akhraziel- and I have many younger players as deputies where they can learn
Akhraziel- instead of being immediately thrusted into action
Akhraziel- too Sermok
Akhraziel- I agree that a strong cabinet makes up for a weak candidate
Akhraziel- however
Akhraziel- an experienced president surrounded by a strong cabinet is even better
Akhraziel- done
Liquid_Oxygen- k
Liquid_Oxygen- Moving along
Liquid_Oxygen- I believe Derpy has a question from LillVigge?
DerpyHooves- The next portion is 5 minute open response to audience questions.
DerpyHooves- All candidates are free to discuss at the same time for 5 minutes.
DerpyHooves- 20:28 LillVigge What will be your biggest focus if you get elected? 20:28 LillVigge and 20:29 LillVigge Please sum up your goals for next term in one sentence
DerpyHooves- Five minutes, kids.
FilthyRich- In the good way.
Sermok- Improve our standing in the world and solidify our place there
Sermok- despite all our fire and our ambition we're still an extremly fragile country thats months behind the rest of the world in developing mu's and an economy
Sermok- I want to change that
FilthyRich- Shuffle, goose step to the left, goose step to the right, shuffle, turn to the left, hop four times -- invade Canada -- push a larger and better funded DoI at lower level players.
Sermok- and make a difference every day around the world
Fionia- Akhraziel: answer?
Akhraziel- I will focus on creating a new alliance
Akhraziel- that will help to secure the United States
Akhraziel- against potential aggressors
Akhraziel- have you considered what making a new alliance would mean to our new alpha allies?
Sermok- or our TM allies?
FilthyRich- > allies
FilthyRich- You mean strategic partners?
DerpyHooves- You guys can kill each other, too.
DerpyHooves- j/s
* FilthyRich pulls out a sword.
* FilthyRich stabs Sermok in a flurry (+2)
FilthyRich- I think this leaves two serious candidates.

PRESIDENTIAL DEBATE 3-3 (13 years ago)
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.
