Bugs are not only creepy, but they can be a real pain too. Especially game bugs… especially the bug I am talking about in this article that can unfairly ruin your streak and damage your reputation at th work place.
Lately, there appears to be a bug where working after a certain time (sometime after 11:00 PM game time) results in the work counting towards the next day and missing a day of work for the day you actually did work. Due to this bug, no matter what a determined, intense, good, hard, and terrific worker you were that day, if you worked after a certain time, it won’t matter.
What does this mean? It means this is possible:
Now I understand that fixing things takes time or can take time, but if admin were aware of this bug which it seems they are, why did they not at least inform us of this problem?
It would have been nice to get an update letting us know they know about it and that they intend to fix it… maybe even when, but more importantly… what about the people that were already screwed by this bug? You know, the people who would NOT have missed those days of work if not for the bug? Will admin be going back and fixing their work reputations?
And while I am in rant mode, why is the Hard Worker Medal so difficult to get in the first place? To get your Super Soldier Medal, you just need to train 30 days, NOT 30 days in a row, but to get the same 5 gold for work, it has to be 30 days in a row?
It would be one thing if you got more gold for it, but you get the same amount and on top of that, people’s spotless records can be destroyed by things beyond their control such as acts of nature, local power outages, and/or game bugs.
How fair is that? For them to have 28 days worked straight only to have to start all over because nature decided to crap on their power lines or because the game decided that 11:00pm is bed time, not work time?
In closing, I hope that once the bug is fixed, the people wrongfully affected by what happened will be taken care of and maybe, just maybe, the hard worker medal won’t be so hard to get.
Thanks for listening!

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.
