At that time I listed our short term goals as follows:
-Sell 30 shares bringing share count to 80 and company value to about 160 gold
-Upgrade diamond mine to q3
-Increase share value to 2.5 gold per share
All of these short term goals have been met.
The long term goals I had for the company were:
-Sell shares and gather profit to increase corporation value to 1000 gold
-Upgrade diamond mine to q4, then either upgrade mine to q5 or build another q4 mine
-Establish a q5 Gift factory
-Increase share value to about 4.8 gold per share
We have already upgraded the diamond mine to q5 and share value has risen to about 3 gold per share and company value to about 650 gold.
I recently became aware of a major error in the game's assesment of company value. It appears that diamonds are being valued at well over twice their actual value. You may have noticed the dramatic drop in assessed company value recently. This occurred when several thousand diamonds which were sold for Turkish currency. It appeared that the company had lost a lot of value. So I manually assessed the company's value to get a better idea of where we are. Here is my assessment of company value:
Investments:
Stock company charter: 50 gold
Issue of 220 shares at 0.05 gold each: 11 gold
Build cost for Q5 diamond mine: 390 gold
Total investments: 451 gold
Liquid assets:
Gold: 114.62 gold
Irish currency: 1292.54 IEP at 0.04 gold per unit: 51.70 gold
Turkish currency: 108.75 at 0.08 gold per unit: 8.70 gold
Diamonds: 2528 at 0.15 TRY per unit: 30.34 gold
Total liquid assets: 205.36 gold
Total value of GenerouS: 656.36 gold
Value per share: 2.98 gold
I recently issued a poll to see if shareholders were supportive of issuing 80 more shares at 5 gold each to fund the establishment of a q5 gift factory. Shareholders were supportive but I'm holding off for two reasons. One is that the assessed share value at the time of the poll was inflated by about a gold per share (due to the game's overvaluing of diamonds). The other is that I realized I don't have the time and energy needed to do a good job managing this company so I'm looking for someone to take over. I intend to remain CEO for awhile while the transition is taking place to make sure the new manager is a good fit. I have submitted a proposal to issue 20 more shares at 4 gold each though, so that investors can spend their dividends on shares like last weekend. (I issued twice as many shares since last week demand exceeded supply).
Thanks to all the investors and diamond miners and buyers that make this happen!

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.
