Some of those that I play e-sim Primera, Secura and Suna with have known that I'm medically retired. With some, I've gone into detail with because they have asked...others have been fine with just hearing the basics, others have wanted more.
Well...here's the situation, I have had issues for the last 2 years with balance, and my lack of it. I walk like a drunk, and I haven't been drunk for the past 21 years. I walk into things. I can't drive anymore. I have frequent blackouts and such. I have to walk with a walker or a cane, and I can't be left alone, out of fear I'll fall and hit my head on something.
I finally was able to convince the doctors to go back to the beginning, and act like I was a new patient, and give me all the tests again...blood tests, balance tests, X-rays, CT scans, MRIs, etc. My MRI was on Wednesday of this week...Thursday was a holiday, and the docs couldn't get me on the phone on Friday because I forgot to turn the ringer back on after our Thanksgiving feast.
They called me this morning, about 10 minutes after turning the ringer back on...to tell me they found a tumor on the right side of my brain. They are going to get me into surgery tomorrow. As hard as it is to believe, I'm relieved they found something, and that I can now tell the real life people I know that I've not been faking this.
Because of this surgery, I will be unable to complete my term as CP on Suna, or as Congressman on Secura.
I wish to aid in deciding my replacement as CP, and would like to nominate Loki as my replacement. I hope that Congress will decide to agree with me, or to at least find someone comperable in ability to lead.
I hope to be back soon, playing the only game I love...E-Sim

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.
