Alright, with that being stated let's move onto the interview, I'd like to thanks you for reading this. Really, my subscribers and reader do mean a ton to me =).
1). Now that your debt has been paid, what do you intend to do for eAmerica?
I'm running for another term as AVL President, and I plan on another term in Congress. Other than that, just taking and seeing where things take us. I was very humbled to get so many votes in the last election, so I won't close any doors just yet.
2). Where is the AVL headed?
Bang! Zoom! Straight to da moon!
3). Your popularity seems to be split down the middle, would you care to elaborate on why some people do/don't like you for our new players, as you can easily be seen as a big figurehead in eAmerica?
I'm a polarizing personality, you either love me or you hate me...it's just a fact of life. I've found that when people actually take the time to sit down and work with me, they at least come to respect the effort I put in, and I respect when others do the same.
4). Where do you feel the eAmerican culture is headed in a sense of population, coordinated attacks, and alliances?
We've seen some improved coordination, and we're slowly getting a bit better as we pull more people into the group...but it's going to take another round of recruitment to really take us to the next level. I'm trying to put in more time to help with that, but as I've just started a new RL job it's on the backburner except for weekends.
5). Do you see a threat looming on the horizon for our great country?
Part of being President is trying to see all the potential threats that are out there, so yes I do. It just comes down to which seem most credible, which isn't always as easy and can be a lot more subjective. If you want to talk specific countries/groups of countries...well, that's an entire article in itself.
6). Do you intend to ever run for a political office again, if so which would it be?
I'm leaving all doors open, it wouldn't be fair to America to deny them their democratic options...would it?
7). If you get into a political office such as a congressman what would you focus on for our country?
More money to start drains, and now that DerpyHooves has released the Army from their 'national' obligation I'd like to get back to looking into a formalized militia support program...Congress seems to have given up on a national military (and game mechanics don't really support it).
8). You're obviously very active in e-sim, do you have any advice for new players who are starting to 'turn the corner' so to speak and become valuable assets to our country who may even have political aspirations?
Your MU is the most important group you'll be a member of, so find one with personalities you enjoy. Party membership is secondary as far as gameplay, but you need to at least be able to tolerate the older players who run your party...unless you plan on trying to take over. In that case, drop me a message and maybe we can raise a little hell.
9). Who would you say is the most important person to eAmerica?
It depends on the day and what mood the top 4-5 active players are in. Liquid is still the best connected domestically and internationally, but there are times when RL interferes for stretches and other people have to take more active roles. After him is probably the sitting President, just because of the position, and then you get into the people that don't seem to ever go away...established MU leaders and those who have built international connections. Sleeper Top 5 is probably Baarogue, just because so many new people read his welcome messages before anything else.
10). On a scale of 1-10 how awesome is this handsome fellow named Pfeiffer?
42.
Thanks for the read everyone, love him or hate him Pfeiffer is a huge cog in our system, and at some point we all have to learn to move on from the past... V+S if you liked it, it really means a lot
.
Thanks,
Shavrae

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.
