A lot has been said recently about the way different people think this game should be played and how within the game, e-UK should be run. My views have been somewhat misunderstood; probably in part because I have not explained myself very well.
Different players have found different objectives and different routes to achieve those objectives that enable them to play and enjoy this game their way. We have the Businessmen, with their companies and share companies, dealing money on the money market, trading on Strade to avoid tax and all that; we have the Point Tarts that are only interested in their own stats, trying to rise as quickly and as high as they can; we have the Mercs trying to grow themselves and their private MUs ahead of all else; then you have the Patriots, that want to grow their nation ahead of their own personnel gain.
None of these personas are any better than any other; we all find the place we want to be in.
Me, I am a Patriot currently the leader of the British Army (BA), I have one company that currently has no employees, I have no shares, I have never been on strade and I am as poor as a church mouse. I don’t get paid for the work I do for the Government, there is no salary (Smack did give me a reward for my work last month) I spend many hours online sorting out the 9 companies owned by the British Army, not for my gain but to ensure supplies to the BA. I only fight in accordance with Government orders and I get my kicks from seeing e-UK grow.
I have no beef with those that choose a different path but I do believe that e-UK members are better off with a Government full of Patriots and not those that do not put the country first. So I am putting myself forward for Congress as a member of the BPS so that I can continue the fight to grow the e-UK.
One of my first actions has been to steal a copy of the Bonkers Training Video for you all to watch. Not sure we will be indorsing their methods but interesting to watch!
Only a joke guys, you did not think I would write a whole article without having a little friendly dig at Bonkers
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.
