An interview with
Kolmainsus
How did you find e-sim?
To start off I would like to say hi to everyone
I work a lot with my computer in my own company. I work for ca. 5 minutes at a time and then wait 3-5 minutes for bank transfers, calls back and e-mails. I used to watch comedies and documentaries in that time but watching them 3-5 minutes at a time got annoying so I searched for an alternative and stumbled on e-sim in Facebook. In e-sim I can use those short breaks to auction hunt or BH hunt, so it suits me.
What keeps you here?
Addition to just passing time, e-sim was interesting in the beginning - I could make my account better, step-by-step.
Nowadays I like it less and less because the administration purely focuses on making money by adding more and more new temporary servers so people would buy gold. As soon as the gold buying starts to cool down they add another new server and focus on that one leaving the old temporary server to slowly die.
What are your biggest accomplishments in e-sim?
Some of my accomplishments:
After just playing for 43 days I was elected the cp of Estonia in Primera server and managed to earn Estonia Org ca. 600g profit by trading in #strade channel. Primera server and #strade were still quite active back then.
In America server my SC-s worth was 11 500 gold at 1 point and still is around 9 000 gold. My goal was to own a SC worth 10 000 gold.
In Europa server I managed to get ~1250 BH-s in 6 months, my goal was 1000 since day1 in Europa server although by that time I had played e-sim less than 3 months total. The second place in the server had around 600 BH-s.
As a cp reaching top2 total dmg with Venezuela in America server, if everything goes well in the last months in the server too then we might even manage to get top1.
In Europa server when it still was active I managed to win alone against Poland in League, doing 99% of Estonian damage in the last 7 rounds. I started hitting when we were 1-5 behind and managed to win 8-5. I only used 2 medkits to do that and it was their only loss that league. Poland lost all 4 times we met in League against Estonia but it still feels like an achievement
What else do you want to accomplish?
I want to get the active Estonian players in Primera server all to Q6 helmet, Q6 WU and Q6 vision with good stats by helping them or even giving free equipment to them.
How have you managed to achieve the things you have achieved?
Economy is very important in e-sim, I am finishing my second degree in that field and I have my own company since I was 19, I am 25 now. If you know how to earn gold in this game by using economic tools then the game becomes easy.
How long have you played?
321 days (I started in Primera on day 1296 and now it is day 1617 there)
How much time do you spend on e-sim?
My actual free time - not much. As i mentioned before I have a lot of short breaks in my work which I use on e-sim. Sometimes I work 14 hours a day and if you add those small breaks up then I am here a lot, but the alternative for using it on e-sim would be just to stare at the wall, because there just isn't much useful you can do with those short breaks
Do you have a favourite player in e-sim?
To be honest - no. I like friendly and polite people, but I am one of the top players in most servers so its hard to look up to someone.
Although he is not as active as he used to be some time before I even started playing I still have to mention QoaBunnY because he and his father did a lot for Estonian e-sim community.
That's it for this time, have a nice day everyone!

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.
