Several months ago in my first successful attempt, I led a walk for Congress. I chose to "walk" instead of the traditional "run" because I wanted to draw a parallel with the Walks done in real life to raise money and awareness for awful things like diabetes and cancer. I felt that Congress needed a serious overhaul and it needed dedicated and active players to do it.
This month I am walking for a different reason. I am walking for Congress now because I am tired and lazy. I don't have any desire to run anywhere, and I doubt I would make it far if I tried. This month I am offering myself as a Congressman to serve as a source of wisdom for newer members and a steady voice in a time of confusing change. If elected, I will work to help make sure the communication between members is good so we stay on the same page, and that we keep the rest of the country in the loop as well.
If you don't know who I am or why you should vote for me, please send me a quick PM and I'd love to meet you. Between this game and eRepublik, I have served as Platoon XO, President, and nearly everything in between. I can assure you that I am more than ready to meet the challenge of serving in our Congress.
I am asking you today to join me on this walk. Or if you have a car, I could actually use a ride. That would be faster. However you do it, I would appreciate your support on the 25th.

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.
