The election day draws near again. At this time, our minds will be sharpened again to deliberate and our ears will ache again due to the campaigns. This is not just an election because this time, the highest position in the ePhilippine government will be vacant and will be vied by a few that wishes to serve their country.
There are people who have already showed their interest in running for presidency. There are others who have already filed their candidacy. There are still some that are having second thoughts whether they will join the race or not. But from all these people who want to be the president of ePhilippines, only one will win and he/she needs to fulfill the huge responsibilities as the primary foundation of ePhilippines.
As voters, we need to be meticulous or tighten and raise our standards on choosing especially the one that we will vote will be the next pillar of our country. Here are some of the the things that are needed by the public for choosing from the candidates for the presidency of ePhilippines:
1) DON'T JUST JUDGE BASED ON THE NATIONALITY OF THE CANDIDATE. It would be hard if we will be under a foreigner that doesn't know the real interests and aspirations of his/her constituents. It would be also hard if we will be under a eFilipino that doesn't have straight goals for the whole ePhilippines.
2) KNOW HIS/HER PLANS TO THE COUNTRY. He/she must have platforms not just for the sake of some, but MUST BE IN LINE ACCORDINGLY TO THE WELFARE OF THE PEOPLE. Look if his/her ambitions are for the ePhilippines's progress and not just for himself/herself and for his/her allies.
3) HAVE A DELIBERATION WHETHER A CANDIDATE IS TRUSTWORTHY OR NOT. Has he/she have done something for his/her country? Did he/she gave help to the people? Does he/she know how to talk and mingle to his/her constituents or does he/she always closes his/her mouth on giving words to people? Don't just judge based on his/her face or his/her walk of life. Don't just decide whether he's/she's still a newbie or a veteran. DEEPEN YOUR THINKING.
4) MEASURE THE STRENGTH OF THE CANDIDATE'S INNER STATUS. The aspirant may look stable on the outside and to his/her plans for ePhilippines, but is his/her will also stable? If the ePhilippines arrived at a crisis, will he/she be calm, or will panic? If there's a war at the ePhilippines's territories, will he/she be strong and advance or will fall and back out?
Aside from these, there are some more advises and warnings that you may probably heard or told to you by someone, but I will say them again for the sake of many:
5) DON'T EASILY BUY INTO THE CANDIDATE'S GOOD WORDS. Take note that words are flowery yet deadly. Be vigilant on what those who are running for presidency say. Choose the person that has the heart to serve the nation and has the concerning mind.
6) DON'T FALL INTO BRIBERY. Would you exchange your long-term comfort to short-term happiness? Think for long-term things, not for short-term ones that are very easy to lose and pop like a bubble.
7) VOTE ACCORDING TO YOUR CONSCIENCE. Don't give in to the threats of the candidates. Be strong.
Your vote will be the key through the prosperity of ePhilippines. It may be small compared to the large population of ePhilippines, but its effects will be big to the course of the country.
Last advice: Vote! Fight for your right as a voter. To those who are not planning to not to vote, don't complain to the person who won when the results of the election comes out. You will only talk when things are finally over. Is this a kind of a person who has a concern for his/her nation: slacking off when the time on deciding comes, then will say all the bash and negative words when he/she is done slacking?
Is this article regarding the elections way too early to make? IT SHOULD BE. For the people to think early before it's too late...

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.
