My fellow Americans,
There is some level of pain in my writing you today... There is not a single one of us who will be left unaffected by this reset. We are each going to lose the achievements we played many months (some even years) accumulating.
When I started this game,
Liquid HOMICIDE was working non stop as CP, trying to fabricate a plan that would free our nation from it's Russian oppressors. I have stayed because of how I was welcomed by many players, (some of whom no longer play) each willing to assist me in any way possible. I did not understand the game, but several players took special interest in me, trying somehow to teach me how to play a game, rather than bringing RL into everything (still have issues with that lol).
Players like
grim the reaper sought me out without being asked, and helped walk me through some things as simple as "what da heck is IRC" and other meta game features.
Cruciator gave me my first job.
sheepshag became my Congressional contact when I did not understand what was going on in the Government.
Kaizer Marcus King took me under his wing, and became a source of knowledge throughout his time playing. It was also him who got me elected to Congress, as well as re-elected for a 2nd term.
ROB got me into my first MU.
Tycomedes showed me how to write an article, as well as helped me get subscribers. (He was not even willing to tackle my grammar issues though 
)
Man... I could just go on and on....
I do not wish to leave out anyone, so I will not continue naming players based on how they helped me. However, I would like to state that I do not look forward to so many of my active friends leaving.
I would like to send a special shout out to a very good friend...
EmmanueI Goldstein served as a true inspiration to me, and anyone who has had the privilege of knowing him. I am seriously going to miss this guy...
Ok... Before I start choking up, I'm going to change the subject after this next line.... These guys (each and everyone of them) leaving will take with them a huge part of why I play, I cherish, and will never forget the time we had together.
Now, getting off the mushy stuff.
I am asking my fellow players to do the unthinkable... Re-elect this ignorant Texas transplant in Tennessee to his 20th term in Congress...
We are about to enter some trying times (see above endless wall of text) and I feel now is the time to keep experience in place as we prepare for the days ahead. We are already taking the steps necessary to ensure our Nations growth and security in the days to come. I ask that you allow me to continue to assist in the preparations needed to meet the challenges we will each face.
Thank you for your time, not only in reading this article, but also in making this game so enjoyable during the last 941 days of my playing.

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.
