PTO stands for political take over. This usually happens when I foreign country wants to take over control of your government and its fictions for their own benefit. This may be to steal your resources/supplies or use the countries army in some way for the defense of their own.
An internal PTO such as Shawn is referring to is when another group wants to take over power in their own country from the existing group running government. This maybe also be to steal resources/supplies or the groups feels that they will do a better job of running said country.
Of course Shawn wants you to believe that Imperium Germanum aka Blackwater Recruits would like to take power and destroy Germany. A statement which is totally false. I would like to explain why.
Firstly we don’t want total power but shared power because we feel that the MoCI is being run unsuccessfully and for the benefit of German Company. They are unwilling to communicate or let the congress which was voted in by german citizen’s have any input on how things are run. Even one of their own feels that the running of things should change.
It is true that I don’t have time to be around the bush and come out swinging. That is my nature and I don’t intent to change it. Acidburn my right-hand man is the one that does things diplomatically. He has been talking to shawn about changing things, something they don’t want at all.
The reason why they don’t want change is because they are using the MoCI as a source of resources for German Company a fact which was proofed in my week of being CP. They are also worried that if they loose power that they will be left out of the loop like they are doing to the rest of us a fact which is also false.
The 3 main things we have asked to change
1) Better communication – At this moment e-sim uses IRC for most communications. Unfortunately IRC (created in 1988) is outdated. It fails in a big way for the sole reason of not being able to see past messages, so if you weren’t logged in you don’t know of any messages. We have suggested skype which was turned down. We have tried an outside forum which they also didn’t want to use but we would use any communication as long as you are able to see what was said in the past and give your input.
2) More openness – We want more openness with what is happening in the MoCI. Treasury money is sent there and from there only German Company knows what is happening with funds and supplies. This I feel is totally unacceptable. We have asked that one of the next power aka Imperium Germanum gets allowed in so there can be some form of control but we are denied any entry because they don’t trust us. Exactly how we feel about you.
3) Equality for all Germans – We want all germans to be treated as equals. It is true that German Company is the strongest force in Germany but they can not win wars without the help of the rest of Germany. This includes the other MU’s and individuals. Equality would mean helping weaker players gain strength so they can do more damage and helping out the economy. But again they don’t want this and will only help those in German Company.
I can not see why these 3 points can not be addressed nor that a middle ground negotiated. German Company wants total control and to run everything as they see fit in the same way as a dictatorship. We ask for democracy were everyone has a input but this is denied by German Company.
Things where German Company fails
1) Blatant lying – they are giving false facts on how money is being used. Like the fact that some weapons are sent out in war times and amount which shawn has totally exaggerated in his article. another thing is the amount they pay rent for Tyrol. It is not 30g but only around 20-22g a week. Defense systems can be bought for 10g something that was advertised twice this week plus MoCI has the companies to create it but are not being done.
2) Running economy – German Company via the MoCI should make sure that our currency stays stable something they fail badly to do. Our target is to keep the currency at a stable 0.06g for 1DEM. This means using the gold in the MoCI to buy up lower offered rates and placing it back on the market for 0.06 or using this DEM to pay salaries. The currency sometimes drops to 0.0582 but are never stabilized by German Company. You can go and have a look at other strong countries and see that their currency seldom falls by more the 0.002.
3) Funds misuse – The German company runs its MU on a supply system with your salary being only 1DEM. So every time you work you get 1DEM plus food and gifts. What I don’t understand is how this is possible to supply all members with these products. It is literally unattainable without outside funding. This is were MoCI comes in. Resources and supplies are redirected to German company because they cant afford the supply system. How do players that only get food and gifts fight. They can't afford weapons or tickets as they only get 1DEM for each day but they still manage to hit millions in damage everyday.
So to conclude you can believe as you wish and follow German Company like blind sheep or start standing up and change that which is not working right. We ask again to work as a community were all parties have input and one person that has the right to keep an eye on the MoCI and what happens with these funds.
If German Company wants a power struggle that will break Germany so be it. But if german Company is willing to negotiate we are open to that and would much rather do that then have a huge power struggle. But we will not lay down and keep seeing German Company run everything as only they see fit.

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.
