Welcome back everyone for another Fast Track Article. This time it is on a location called Dublo Islands. Be sure to read the story by genyo . You can find all 3 parts so far at his newspaper . We have a new wiki set up by EmperorZahradka , we give him a great big deal of thanks for helping us set it up.
The Dublo Islands is a chain of 1000s of islands that are all small in size. FAST rents these islands to bring new students for their inaugural test. The islands are filled with all sorts of exotic plants and wildlife, as well as rare birds that make an appearance from time to time.
The surrounding seas have calm water, making it easy for animals to swim across. Each individual island has a different range of plants on it making it one of the most diversified locations in the eSim world. Challenges can be issued on these islands as each island has its own uniqueness. Sometimes, challenges span groups of Islands and have some goal; such as to kill a certain animal or collect specific plants.
One of the most common plants on the island is the Dub Flower. The Dub Flower is a short flower that only grows naturally in the Dublo Islands. The flower blooms in many different colors: red, green, purple, blue, white, grey, and black, the last three colors being the most common, and red being the rarest color of all. The flower is also edible but it is barely palatable, therefore, most creatures won’t touch it.
Many different types of trees grow on the Islands as well. Some are tall and some are short. A common tree on the island is the Jophel Tree. The tree’s wood is sturdy and is used by explorers of the islands to make small boats, huts, and many other useful objects. FAST exports almost three hundred thousand (300,000) pounds (136,000 kg) of logs every year. Another tree is the Kodel Tree which grows to be over three hundred (300) feet (91.5 meters) high. The wood of the Kodel Tree is used for more decorative work because it is prettier but much more fragile.
The Simulaid is a fruit bearing plant; its fruit is known as the Simol. The Simulaid has green flowers that change to red as the fruit begins to grow. The fruit is oval shaped and is fantastically delicious. While still growing the fruit is a deep blue, turning purple as it ripens.
The Vul is a root vegetable that is found growing wild on the Dublo Islands. It is farmed in other cities around the world because it is easy to grow, requiring very little sunlight and almost no water! The vegetable grows underground and is a bright yellow color when pulled out of the ground.
Animals are a big part of the environment of the Dublo Islands, one of the most popular animals is the Farillo. It is a small animal whose total body length is just eighteen (18) inches (45.75 cm). It can run at speeds faster than Honibees can fly. Their max speed is around 55 mph (88.5 km/h). They can only maintain this speed for 3 minutes, slowing down or stopping for ten minutes, after which they are able to resume their former speed. They have green eyes and can be a royal nuisance.
The Neust is a land animal that has the ability to skip on water for short distances. This enables it to cross small waterways that are between Islands. It is about 5.5 feet (167.5 cm) long, nose to tail, and stands 2.5 feet (76 cm) tall at its shoulder. This animal is very hard to kill, but is weakest when entering or exiting the water. The Neust is very fast when on land, catching its prey swiftly, as it is a master of stealth.
The birds are awesome. They can fill the entire sky and you can almost always find one looking around for something to eat. The Marlus is the easiest to recognize of all the birds on the island. Their resplendent, orange and yellow wings make them easily findable in the green forest and against the blue sky. The wingspan is over 3 feet long (91.5 cm) and from beak to end of tail measures 18 inches (45.75 cm). The Body of the Marlus is a dark orange color. Its primary food source is the Faillo, this is because the meat of the Faillo is soft and easy to chew. It also makes a great meal for the baby Marlus. The Marlus can fly at speeds up to 75 mph (120 km/h). It however normally flies at 30 mph (48 km/h).
Sea creatures surround the Island in abundance, there being over five hundred different documented species. There are fish that fill the sea with the most vibrant reds, the brightest greens, and the darkest blacks. The most common small fish is the Zidox. The Zidox is a small fish measuring 4-8 (10-20 cm) inches long. It is normally a silver fish but black and white varieties have been spotted. They swim at speeds of 2-3 mph (3.2-4.82 km/h) and can move faster in short bursts. The fish is known to be a delicacy, and FAST catches thousands of these fish a year to serve at banquets and in regular buffet dinners.
The largest island in the Dublo Islands is 3 miles by 300 miles (4.82 - 482 km). It has a couple of narrow inlets with small streams of water. This Island has few plants because it is at the edge of the island chain. Boats going to and from the isles dock there because the water is deep enough to pull up right next to its coast.
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.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
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.
