Article
It's been a long time since the last FIGHT BACK article. Reason for that is because I tend to attack problems or situations that really speaks up to me and this time I would like to write about a problem that have been annoying me for a long long time now - proper English.
By proper English I am not saying that every single person in e-sim should have knowledge of English language for all 100%. But nowadays more and more newspapers tend to write in English because first of all it is the official language of the game and more people can understand your article and second of all by writing an article that is understandable for larger scale of e-sim citizens allows to gather more votes and subscribers. Of course I am happy that it is happening because it is also easier for me to read an article from, for example Greece, when the author also includes the English version of the article or writes it fully in English.
Me, myself am not a person that writes in 100% proper English but I think that looking at my article no one would have problems reading it and understanding everything I wrote without seeing a bad quality language. But there are many writers that are using English when they have really bad English writing skills. Either it shows how lazy they are at school in their English classes or they are too old and didn't learn English. I could understand the second group of people and I can't blame them for that but the new generation that is playing this wonderful game is killing me. Even Tarzan, living in the jungle all his life, learn better English than some writers in e-sim. What I am trying to say is that I would really wish to see a better quality language in articles that are made in English.
People who are not sure about their English skills should ask someone who is good at English to help them write the article. A government offices including president should have a position as "Press director" that would write the articles for the ministry or president himself in case that any of the governmental institutions struggles with their English knowledge.
When you are writing an article you have to make sure that it is well presented and it doesn't only mean that you have to put boobs in the end of the article. It also means that you must prepare the text well in a proper manner with a proper grammar. If I have to read an article that sound like a Tarzan's famous phrase "Me Tarzan, You Jane" then I just simply cannot give my vote or even more - subscribe to the newspaper.
All those who are out there and struggle with English - it's not a shame, you learn everyday but here is a TIP for you! Next time when you are going to write an article in English then pay attention to all the words that has a red dotted underline under the word. It indicates that the exact word is typed wrongly. Either you correct it using translator or you can use the spell checker by pushing the right mouse and choosing the offered correction for the word.
I really hope that we will soon see much better quality articles and be able to appreciate the work and idea put into the article.
Kind Regards,
Opie Winston

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.
