Secura Denmark has never had that much players, mostly because Denmark was only added to e-sim when Secura came, less then 300 days ago, while other countries have been playing e-sim for up too 600 days on Primera. But that doesn't mean we can't do better. Right now we are on the 48th place out of 50 countries, I think we got the potential to at-least stay in the top30 with a little work, and this would increase both our taxes, damage and most important: it would be a lot more fun.
E-sim itself does not take too much time, training, working, waiting for T2 to hit in a battle, maybe write an article or chat on IRC. Many, however, use a lot more time on e-sim than they use for this ... Why not use that time for something that will help the country AND you as a player? Why not spend your "free e-sim time" to invite new players to the game?
What is BB?
BB stands for BabyBoom, a large increase in the number of players in a short period of time. Often started by someone "spamming" their reflink in another game, or when someone with a lot of followers on internet mentions the game. The most common way is the spamming part though.
But I don't wanna/can't spam?
Don't worry about that, when trying to get more players EVERY invite helps, If every player in Denmark would invite 1 players, we would have almost 150 players and then the Danish community will be much greater
Invite real life friends, co-workers, classmates, brothers, sisters (don't forget shared-IP form if inviting those last two)
What do I get out of it?
Well, for every player you invite, no matter what country, you get 5 gold cash, right when they reach lvl 7 (+0,5 for every medal/lvl-up they ever do, and 10% of their bought gold) But in addition to that you also get Q1-Q5 armors depending on what number of invites you already have:
Every 1 invite gives Q1 armor
Every 2 invite gives Q2 armor
Every 5 invite gives Q3 armor
Every 20 invite gives Q4 armor
Every 100 invite gives Q5 armor
Why is this so great? Because armor is the most expensive piece of equipment there is. If you sell the armor, here are the estimated profits per invite: (right when they reach lvl 7, you still get more as they continue to play)
1 invite = 8 gold per invite
2 invites = 13 gold per invite
5 invites = 17 gold per invite
20 invites = 21 gold per invite
100 invites = 22,5gold per invite
So if you can manage to get up to the 5th invite, you have earned 17 x 5 gold, already when they reached lvl 7!! This is a ton of money and would take much longer then a month to work in, while you can get it in a few days with inviting!
I know that many here may not have much experience on how to invite players and will write a simple explanation below.
The most common methods for inviting players are:
- Invite people you know in real life, easier to put someone in the game that you know, can talk to easily and help!
- Inviting players from other games, e-sim doesn't take much time, especially not to someone who spends a lot of time at the computer anyway!
- Write posts about e-sim in major forums / community pages, this is an easy way to get into a lot of players, to spread e-sim in so many forums and other major websites as possible. An example I know of myself is when Primera-Sweden got featured on feber.se and went from a few hundred to over thousand users in less then a week. Don't forget to "bump" your posts every now and then.
- Spamming other games with something like playing community! A little more dirty method to use when nothing else works. Try to write a short and easy to read message and have a friendly tone. Could be a lot of work, but almost always yields results!
- Social media sites, a lot of people play games that are in some way linked too these sites and of course its alowed there, don't have to break rules here
What should I write to get people to want to play e-sim?
A short message is the best, you don't want a "wall of text" that could scare of people from even reading it, mention something about the game, that your country needs help and most important be nice. (I know this might sound obvious, but the nicer tone in the message, the more referals)
I have a pre-written invite message, that I've used with my inviting, both in Danish and English, if you want to see it, or simply copy it, just message me!
I would also like to thank for the support in the presidential election, better late than never!

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.
