If I know Mary as well as I think I do, she'll invite us right in for tea and strumpets.
I think everyone who knows me, knows what this quote pertains to. In the past few days, I witnessed first hand something that I either A) Truly didn't see coming or B) Tried to pretend wasn't going to happen because I was so focused on trying to make things better. I am of course talking about the fall of the SIGMA alliance. Some say it had been a sinking ship for a long time, but a part of me thinks I was convinced that I could be the difference that could bring it back to the glory I thought it was capable of reaching. When I saw it unfold in SIGMA Headquarters, I completely snapped. I was so beyond furious, I think some steam may have came out of my ears. I felt complete betrayal from so many angles, like broship meant nothing to anyone in there. I especially felt bad for our brothers in Spain who, at the time, seemed slightly confused and like they had lost some great, close allies. Because of this, I made an irrational decision to be an immediate whistle blower on the whole situation. In hind sight, I do not regret informing the public, however, I do regret the method in which I used, as well as my lack of specifics when discussing the situation with others. For that, I am sorry. I also want to make a public apology to our President,
Pfeiffer . I may not agree with him a lot of the time, but he is our President, and as an American Citizen I feel it is my duty to be supportive in the government's decision, as long as they are reached using the proper formalities. After all, my country voted for these leaders. Back to SIGMA, I will miss all the fun I had while being Secretary of Foreign Affairs. All the leaders involved with SIGMA from USA, Sweden, Ireland, UK, and Spain, I wish you all the best of luck in your future endeavors. It was a great ride, and I am thankful I was allowed to be a part of it.
According to the map we've only gone 4 inches.
Now, it is time for me to start moving forward with my young e-Sim life. Lately, I have been approached from a few people about undertaking a new job, one in which I have never held before. Which leads me to my announcement, that I am now officially running for Party President of the New America First Party! This is something that I am very excited for, mostly because this is a very large party which will provide me with ample opportunity to try out some new ideas to hopefully increase the activity of our party members. My main focus this month will be developing/starting up a completely Party Exclusive military unit. I have chosen
genyo , NAF Congres member, as the Commander of this military unit. He is a very hard working individual who I know will give 110% to this operation, and will bring lots of enthusiasm to the project. I will also push for more IRC activity from the party, as well as forum activity. Not only will I be running for party president, I will also be introducing new roles of leadership in the parties, which will give younger players a chance to prove themselves as competent leaders. Parties don't seem to have any sort of major bearing on this game, as of now. With your support, NAF, I would like to change that! Now one more movie quote before I go..
We don't usually pick up hitchhikers... but I'm-a gonna go with my instincts on this one. Saddle up partner!
Until next time,

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.
