In the next interview, i had the honor of chatting with one of the best hitman in eEstonia –
Megahit . He is also a man who has been in congress on multiple occasions and once even had the chance to sit on the throne of presidency.
How do you evaluate 2014?
Well the most memorable things are most definitely the cockups of admins, christmas bug and how they’ve tried to fix it – i don’t think it could get any worse than this. In the beginning of the year, Tommis also found a bug which enabled him to send himself endless supplies of weapons. He sent them to an MU and let them just stand by there, which resulted in a permanent ban. Now the GO’s are helping players abuse bugs! They hide, spend and sell these items and get away with it without consequenses. Also another failure has been the reset of servers – they did not bring new players, which was the intent in the first place.
Could you name a „star politician“ of 2014?
I think that, base solely on his name, Edgar Savisaar... I dont recall anyone else.
A player of the year?
I think
TheShadoWBunnY – he’s damage done is just unreal.
Who would you nominate as the newcomer of the year?
I wouldn’t name anyone – eEstonia on the governmental level is still run by ye olde farts and newcomers seem to be not interested in running the nation.
You we’re Supreme Commander of SELLUM. What’s the main intent of the position and what were your duties as a SC ?
As SC of SELLUM, i had to do basically anything that was required for the alliance to function, and to function well and strong. I had to compose miscellaneous battleplans, manage each countrys orders and if some nation, for some reason, did not fight enough – then convince them to strain.
In the case of SELLUM, it’s not a conventional alliance. Usually, all nations who are adequate enough, are accessed to an alliance. Then everyone just vegetate by themselves until they need help, at which point the simply ask in the chat. In some alliances, nations have been annexed whilst their allies simply push forward with their own personal counquests. Don’t even get me started on backstabbing in eSim! Let’s say briefly – imagine a nation A and B who are in an alliance, and both are fighting against nation C. Suddenly, A will make peace with C and leave B in a big pile of .... trouble. This sort of behaviour is simply not acceptable in SELLUM, and as long as nations keep a straight head, this sort of thing will not happen. In the process of forming SELLUM, we have selected nations who have shown bravery and dignity in the recent past. Quite a few larger nations have shown interest to join the alliance, but considering they have a habit of not being loyal, we did not have interest in accepting them. Basically any other union would have accepted them unanimously.
What do you expect from 2015?
I’d like to see admin unite all the servers. I would also like to see a fully-functioning MU in eEstonia.
The following interview is with a person we all know as the business genious of eSim, although he himself does not like that title. The humble and reserved mr.
atixs – the most active congresman and coowner of Reval Trading.
How do you evaluate 2014 in eSim?
It started out OK, but then the reset came, and now the christmas bug, which have both ruined the second part of 2014. I would score the previous year as a 2 out of 5
So ups and downs?
Mostly down, the closer it got to the end on 2014.
How do you evaluate 2014 in eEstonia?
It was quite alright, although the reset has left a mark on eEstonia. Obviously the amount of players could be larger, and the leaving of the „true“ nuustik left a mark on us. All in all, one should be at ease with 2014 in eEstonia.
You are one of the most active politicians in congress. Who, besides you, could you nominate as a „star politician“ ?
I wouldn’t call anyone in eEstonia a „star politician“. It’s quite easy to get into congress in eEstonia. I’d rather value those who are on the top part of the list in my article i.e. who are active in congress. We have just over 100 players but we simply can not get 20 active players to congress. The main politicians are the ones who are president, or who have been a president – i’d like to point out EnjoyMe and Spacepenguin (unfortunately banned by now).
Could you perhaps name a player of the year? (There may be many)
EnjoyMe and Megahit , who has done quite a lot of work in government.
What about a newcomer of the year?
You, and i’ve also notices
thomask90 , but I’m not sure if as newcomer of the year.
Excellent! You are often talked about as the „mastermind“ of entrepreneurship. Why is that?
This may be a bit inflated, but it might be due to me being the CEO of the largest SC in eEstonia.
Reval Trading has been a success, and that is the reason you’re called so...
Well I’ve also advised and counselled our government and presidents. I’m sure Reval Trading would be even more successful, if I’d have more time to manage it.
Here’s an opportunity to be more successful in 2015...
No doubt.
Would you like to give some advice or wishes for 2015?
In general, no. I’d just like to see the game get better and more players in eEstonia.

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.
