I was away for 4 days and I came back to see the end of a week of political turmoil. I will be releasing a series of articles with articles, shouts and IRC logs to try and untangle what really happened this week, and how it escalated. It will cumulate in an interview with the two main players. The current President OhhMage and his seemingly political opponent Cem Uzan
For the public, it seemed to have started with the publication of this article on Monday, which seems to make some seemingly simple points. He states that the amount of laws passed without communication is unacceptable. He proposes that there is more communication in parliament, however he also floats the idea for the first time that the UK is not ruled in democracy, but in a “military junta” style regime.
This sparked a huge debate on IRC on Monday. Below are some quotes from the day with some explanation.
BeardyBruin said “Cem Uzan I agree with your point about discussing laws, but you seem to be going on a crusade that doesn't need to exist”, showing that Cem is making good points but the public feel he is going about pushing for change in a wrong way.
A lot of insults were seemingly thrown at Cem, and he was even kicked from the public channel. Lendu said “Just because you are in congress, you have no power, you aren’t usefull you just an idiot who wont shut up”, and they Lendu kicked Cem Uzan from #uk.europa. In my mind this is a disgraceful act and should not have taken place.
There was clear support for Cem after his kick, with SoapMacTavish stating “Cem, don’t let anybody make you shut up. Freedom of speech must remain!” He also went on to say “being respected is a right, and respecting others is a must”.
Cem Uzan said“I don’t care who is against me, I will just fight against all who use their seats to gain prestige.” “People have to remember we are here to serve the UK, seats are to serve and not to fill your pockets” At this point I believe some activity took place in shouts as the next significant message on IRC came from the CP OhhMage saying “If you keep in your desperate attempts to get power, you will be given a permanent ban from this channel. I will not allow you to ruin what I and tommy1boy have built”.If I was around at the time I would have completely distanced myself from this remark, as permanently banning anyone from a public channel because of their views is a disgrace. After more shouts where Cem Uzan spread his propaganda, OhhMage released this on IRC.“Cem Uzan you got your warning, you kept spreading lies”. And then “.kb Cem_Uzan” this act meant Cem Uzan was banned from a public channel.
Not only this, but it is clear the CP tried to kick Cem Uzan from the country stating “I contacted Iceland CP and we both tried to make him go there”, with the UK MoD saying “I want him out of the UK”. OhhMage did receive support from some citizens, with warbo expressing his concern that Cem Uzan could be unbanned.“OhhMage I know your joking but please do not unban Cem Uzan ”The move was also met by condemnation, which itself turned into controversy. johndoe said “unban him. It is a bad precedence to ban someone because he has different meaning and the way he tells the people what he things, OhhMage . It is childish if we cannot face it”. Our MoD then went on the attack saying that johndoe had been “manipulated by Cem Uzan ".johndoe replied saying “nobody can manipulate me”.Saying that someone is manipulated for sticking up for free speech is something I was shocked to see.
Another line of report which I am yet to receive proof of is that OhhMage called (wrong citizen name!) an imbecile and Lendu agreed.
All of this was just a snapshot of what happened on Monday, the first day of the saga. I will be releasing a couple more articles today and tomorrow with the details of what happened between Tuesday and Friday.
** I explored finding a good format for this but I could not find it so for the time being you will have to put up with this format. All logs can be viewed on request to me **
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.
"E-Sim is one of the most unique browser games out there"
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.
