With every ending, comes a new beginning.
2013 has been a heck of a year to some of us. We started playing e-Sim this year (well, most of us... hehe...
) As the days went by, friendships, bonds, and alliances emerged and fell apart. We became smarter and more clever as we learn to manage e-Sim and RL without having conflicting interests between the two separate worlds. We became excellent (some made it in a wrong way though) as we have managed to fight for our country against all odds.
Okay. I'll cut through the chase. I'll make this article short (?).
I made this article to say thanks for the people who played with me here in e-Sim, especially to the following persons:
1) To ex CP
yujn , sa pagturo sa akin on how to manage companies...
2) To kuya and current CP

botitor_23 ,
Ikaw ang naging pinakauna kong kuya sa e-Sim. Naging responsive ka sa akin whenever I ask questions in my first few days sa paglalaro. Kahit na nasira ang PC ninyo, still, you managed na makihalubilo sa IRC, kahit nasa computer shop ka and spending money just to talk and mingle with us. You even invited me sa Pinguim Flu, kahit hindi naman natuloy dahil naubos na ang slot. Ikaw rin ang naging daan para makasali ako sa SBOL sa secura. And through all of those, I personally thank you. Keep inspiring people.

I admired you on the way you preserve and value friendships with someone. Nakita ko yan dito sa primera, pati na rin sa KKK sa suna. Maloko sa IRC (dahil sa papalit-palit ng nickname), pero very friendly and approachable once na nakausap ka. I'm still looking forward to hear your singing voice sa Skype... hehe... mag duduet pa kayo ni Neehkz diba?

Steve42k ,
From the moment na nakilala kita, especially nung nakipag-usap ka sa akin na imention ang pangalan mo dito, I saw my high school life sa yo. You already know the reasons why. Salamat for making me happy sa IRC, lalo na nung nakick ka, especially sa #strade... haha... Kung totoo nga na nakapasa ka sa UPCAT (at kung sa UP Diliman ka nakapasok), hahanapin kita for I'm looking forward na makalaro ka one-on-one sa basketball. Feel ko, makakasundo pa tayo with some other things. hehe...
To ate
Jaiace ,
You're one of the most caring persons that I've ever met (kahit na hindi pa nakikita nang personal). Napatunayan ko yan nung dinala ako sa opsital due to peptic ulcer. Kahit na alam kong busy ka nung time na yun eh still you managed to keep in touch sa mga nangyayari sa akin that time. Nasa iyo halos lahat ng qualities na hinahanap ko sa isang ate. Personally, wala akong kapatid na babae, so I'm longing for one, then you came,. And by that, maraming salamat.

Hi senpai! haha... Ikaw yung isa sa mga pinakapersistent na taong nakilala ko, lalo na nung tinuturuan kita ng Japanese sa IRC. You never give up, and you continue on showing your resiliency. Kahit 3 AM na eh game ka pa rin, just to learn new words and phrases. You're also one of the very few na nagbigay ng impact sa life ko while playing e-Sim. Hindi halata sa mukha mo na kaya mong magpabago ng buhay ng tao, even though in my case, indirectly. hehe... You may still call me sensei, but you will always be my senpai! haha...

Una kitang nakilala sa Team Puyat, mga taong nakikipag-usap pa sa IRC ng mga past 2 AM na, together with senpai, kuya arnan, at si Father Salve. Kahit na bihira tayong magkausap noon, you still make yourself available. After kong maban sa primera, meron kang sinabi sa akin that made me knew na you're sincere. After nun, I looked forward na makita ka nang personal since pareho naman tayo ng school na pinapasukan. Then came that day na nagkita tayo, kasama si
burstv2 . Ang maingay sa IRC, sobrang mahiyain pala sa RL. And that changed the way ng pakikitungo ko sa iyo.
Even though binubully mo ko sometimes (haha...), you always show your kindness. Huwag mong kakalimutan yung mga sinabi ko sa yo sa mga PMs. hehe... If you always need help sa IRC, dito lang ako, especially sa mga taong nakakainisan mo... haha... I shall be you bouncer. LOL
And last but not definitely not the least, to kuya
arnan ,
Ever since na naban ako sa primera, you were the ones, along with kyoushuu, na nagpersuade sa akin to not to quit. It was exactly 82 days ago nung nagmessage ka sa akin na kung pwede ay ikaw ang magmanage ng companies ko. Sa umpisa, I thought na selfishness dun sa suggestion mo, but later on, I have found support. I have found trust, to the point na pati ang mga sikreto ko sa buhay ay nasabi ko na sa yo. I have found security, to the point na ginawa kitang staff member sa BPI.
Sa iyo ko nakita ang qualities na hinahanap ko sa isang kuya. Panganay kasi ako eh... hehe... Sa yo ako lumalapit kapag may problema ako, both in-game and in RL. Kahit na sobrang busy mo sa RL eh you still create time for us. Natanggap mong tawagin kitang "kuya" kahit sobrang ayaw mo. You have managed na makisakay sa mga problema ko being bipolar. Nakita ko sa iyo ang iyong dedication, especially noong pumunta ka ng UP Diliman just to know the ways and means ng BPI report. You value friendships very well, lalo na sa TRIUMVIRATE. hehe...
I'll wait for your triumphant return dito sa primera...
Sa lahat ng mga tumulong sa akin to achieve what am I now both in RL and in e-Sim, MARAMING SALAMAT PO. Sa lahat naman ng sa tingin ko eh nasaktan ko sa shouts, nakabanggaan ko sa Local Market, auctions at MM, and others, I deeply apologize.
I'll look forward on seeing you guys next year!!!
^_^
PS. Hindi po ito liham ng pamamaalam. Bagkus, ito ay isang liham ng pasasalamat. PLEASE DON'T MISINTERPRET. hehe...
PPS. Mag-ingat sa pagpapaputok ah. Happy holidays!!!

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.
