Greetings,
The Band of Brothers militia is proud to announce the formation of our second MU, the Band of Brothers Juniors . This is something I had mulled over weeks ago, and at last it has become a reality. All US Citizens are welcome to apply. It will be led by me, Abroham Lincoln. Leroy Combs will remain Commander of the BoB Elite Division, and both of us will continue to serve as co-leaders of the entire Band of Brothers family.
About
Band of Brothers has accomplished a lot in less than a month time. We have become the country's first Elite MU, achieved becoming the highest damage dealing MU in the sUSA nearly every day (certainly the highest damage/member output), and built up a solid commune system. But, it is time to give back to the nation and to focus a bit more on the basics. This is where BoB Juniors comes in.
BoB Juniors will be primarily a training MU, but that is not its entire purpose. Members will not be kicked out after reaching a certain level or strength, nor will there be firm tests or rules or certifications. It will be a great place for lower strength soldiers to fight side-by-side, coordinating with our Elite group from time to time as well.
BoB Juniors will also be a staging ground to allow our Elite Division to observe and scout the very best up and coming lower strength soldiers in the nation. Juniors who show particular aptitude may be moved atop the queue for joining the Elite squad or may even have their entry fee reduced when they decide to join.
Free to Join, for now
We have 50 slots. As long as some are open, it is free for anyone to join up!
Interested citizens should apply ASAP before the slots fill up.
However, we are not accepting citizens on a first come first serve basis. We screen all applicants for a few things: activity, aptitude, temperament, and loyalty. The best way to ensure your entry into BoB Juniors is to have a member of the Elite Division endorse your application to join.
Requirements
BoB Juniors will be required to do two things: join a BoB commune and wear the BoB avatar frame (created by the amazing
Feefaroni ).
Joining a commune will be a prerequisite for being accepted into the MU, and if your application for joining is approved you will receive a message with a link to the commune you must join before entering the MU as an official member. The avatar frame may be added after joining, but must be done in a timely fashion.
We will not have strict rules about fighting in the Battle Orders or responding to any messages from commanders. But, actively fighting against the interests of the sUSA or conducting yourself in a manner that is not in line with what we expect from Brothers may be grounds for dismissal from the unit.
Rations
Rations are 10Q3 food and 10Q1 weapons each day, right after reset.
So what are you waiting for?
Join us, if you have what it takes!
Abroham Lincoln
Commander, BoB Juniors
Co-Founder Band of Brothers militia

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.
