Virtonomics Episode 27

#RESPECT

Have you ever felt , in any game ( let's say Virtonomics ) or in real life , respected for what you have done ? It happens , sometimes , but mostly , people treat you with disrespect and hate . The moment you succeed in a competition with people , with more experience , with a bigger reputation , with notoriety gives you a state of comfort . Everyone says to respect your enemy / rival / competitor , but not all people do that . They just hate each other , because in one second of inattention , everything you have done , could be gone . Why am I writing this ?
One of "the very best" just wrote me something very interesting . I thought that this may be a good subject to discuss in this post . I won't give his name , because it's better to keep this in silence . He , one of the most influential players in both servers offered me #RESPECT , after reading my posts from this blog . He could just read and maybe steal some information and convert it in something amazing . But he didn't do that . He appreciated my content , even if my english skills aren't perfect and most important , even if we're competitors . What I have done for the most of the people who red the blog , is to offer them pure information about how to start their business in this game . It isn't that simple to comprehend every part of this game in a very short time . I'm am not an expert , but I am new , just like most of the you , reading this blog . Being at the start of the journey isn't that bad . You just need to know and choose the good way , not the bad one , that means to have a successful business enterprise . Writing about complex and hard parts of this game , won't be constructive for a new player . How could a new player be helped , reading something about politics , for example . No ! They need the basic stuff , the simple mechanics to realize that this business simulator could be understood .
I forgot to mention in the last episode , that one of the bad parts of my blog is the lack of social media connection . My name was posted in the forum , next to some very good players in this game . Even if you are new , you surely red in the forum and saw , that they post so many informations . But who heard something about me , Paulao ? Nobody . It was almost impossible to make people read my content . I don't have any advertising , I am not collaborating with other players . I just started from the scratch . But I always knew what respect means . Even if the competition is tough , keep this in mind , respect your competitor , be fair-play , because good things will happen to you .

Virtonomics Episode 26

WE HAVE DONE IT !



Guys , we made it , we won the 3rd place in the contest !
Prize : 15 game points .





Ok , first let's talk about the good things . I tried as much as I can to post a lot of content . Not very long - boring posts , but something interesting - short - and catchy . We saw that the giants of this game , had more experience in economy and better communication skills , that's why I went 3rd ( actually 4th ) . But we need to keep up !

We need to continue the story we started . More episodes will come . Surely more interesting ones , because we got the 15 points .

Now , the next strategic move is to buy a state enterprise !!! 

The bad parts , as you can see are my business english skills and the lack of experience in real life economy . It's hard to compete with players like them , but not impossible ! 

I want to thank you , people who read my blog , and the Virtonomics team for all the support !





"Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday." - Wilma Rudolph

Virtonomics Episode 18

HOW I MET YOUR VIRTONOMICS


Sorry for posting this story , but I find it very interesting . The story is how I played Virtonomics for the very first time . I was in 11th grade , 2 years ago , and I wanted to try different types of strategy games . Not only the classic , browser , war games and shooters . And I found this virtual business simulator . 

Hmmm ... Let's try it !

The interface was pretty . I checked the subdivisions and it's roles. It was hard for me to set the efficiency and to supply my stores . I couldn't understand , why this game is so hard !? Then , the biggest problem , key words . What are assets? But market share? I played it only for 2 days . In my mind , it was too difficult . The mechanics were so different to other games . 

Now , playing again since november , 2 years after , this simulator seems to be fascinating . Maybe it's because I study economics . I can't call Virtonomics a game anymore . Having even a virtual company seems to be very hard , because there are 3 factors that need to be unterstood and practiced :

1. Competition
2. Price
3. Time

All these factors lead to one thing , marketing experience .
