The end
The songwriter's dead,
The blade fell upon him,
Taking him to the white lands
of Empathica,
of innocence...
Finally the hills are without eyes,
They are tired of painting
A dead man's face red
With their own blood...
O Bug foi banido, e aparentemente não vai voltar. Um ex-amigo, ex-aliado, e ultimamente, ex-inimigo. Gostaria de organizar este artigo de despedida como devia ser, mas neste momento não sei como hei-de fazer isso. Podia organizar, não repetir palavras (como acabei de fazer), mas, de novo, não sei bem o que hei-de escrever. Desse modo, vou escrevendo o que me vai à cabeça.
Sobretudo, gostaria de dizer que conhecia o Bug já antes do e-sim. Nos tempos do "outro jogo", ele se juntou ao meu partido, no qual na altura era Vice-Presidente, e antes era mesmo Presidente, como um novato disposto a trabalhar por alargar o meu partido, que apesar de pertencer ao Top 5, era um Partido pequeno e com um estatuto de lugares no Congresso ameaçado. Lembro-me de ele aparecer com o nick de "Rastilho", mas fora banido (por multies, embora fosse um engano e todos nós no partido o tentámos desbanir, mas não conseguimos). Contudo, ele voltou com o nick de MarcoTchekhov, e continuou membro do partido. Um dia, porém, ele desapareceu. Ao início, não soube porquê, mas voltei-o a ver um dia, quando o Arthk, aka
Derp me falou sobre o jogo após ouvir o PedroHG. Por esta altura, ele tinha o nick no qual vocês todos conhecem, Bug.
O Arthk criou o canal da comunidade e, eu, o PedroHG, Bug, emadureira, e mais um ou outro jogador usufruímos do canal para convívio. Aos poucos, fomos crescendo. Lembro-me do Bug se ter tornado Presidente de Portugal, do danielsampaio e depois de mim. Recordo claramente que, quando queria desabafar com alguém fora do meu Governo, era o Bug. Embora não tivesse parecido na altura, o meu Governo esteve perto de se desmembrar por 2 vezes. Sempre vi o Bug como um dos higher-ups de Portugal, quer ele fosse CP, quer não. Assisti à criação da BW com indiferença, mas quando a ADD chegou ao fim, tinha que encontrar outra MU. Provavelmente a Beserker Wolves seria o meu destino se não tivesse sido criada a Pinguim Flu.
Quanto ao TO em si, fiquei um pouco chocado. Não pensava que o Bug fosse capaz de um acto desses. Continuo a não saber porque é que ele acha que o descontentamento por parte de membros da comunidade é inveja, não sei que tipo de visão ele tinha, pelo menos não a conseguia ver. Para mim, uma coisa era certa. Aquele "Rastilho" que vi pelo IRC pela primeira vez há mais de um ano já não era o mesmo.
Enfim, o status quo que eu o Bug temos alterou-se inúmeras vezes, e ultimamente, estava num em que eu o considerava como meu inimigo. Agora, simplesmente o vejo como ex-inimigo, ex-aliado e ex-amigo. I bid you farewell.
Thank you for the good times,
Mark Stray

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.
