Just the facts, ma'am...
Remember that "attack" I talked about yesterday? Well it turns out two of our Senators were affected, EvanTheAwesome and Cpttom1, who were robbed and then forced to resign. As Warrior Princess of eUS Forums (lol), I quickly removed them from the Senator group, but we haven't seen any indication that the hacker bothered to check eUSA's forums, where our sensitive, private discussions go on.
Of course, they don't give Senators a whole lot of sensitive information in the first place, but meh. Also, we didn't discuss much today. I think the Senators are basically talked out and just sort of waiting for the war situation to sort itself out before making any big plans or debates.
In light of this sad news, this won't be a whole big article with pretty pictures and big fancy words and stuff. Just the facts.
The Russian hacker (well, spoke Russian at times anyway) also used up both of Cpttom1's proposals -- as well as one of Evan's, yesterday, before we knew he was hacked. Yes, that 50000 USD donation to the Congressional Budget Office. The hacker used Evan's account to create a fake Congressional Budget Office (with an extra space between Congressional and Budget), but it doesn't appear that the USD went to the fake Office and it looks to be safely within the real Office. I've sent a message to the manager of the Office to see if this is true, but it seems to be the consensus, for now.
We've since sent in tickets in support of Evan and Cpttom1 and reported the fake Org.
This morning, Russian President (sorry, I hear he's calling himself Emperor now) Parter mailed President Gaius Julius, to accept our surrender. Read a short summary of how it went down here. If you're banned from eUSA's forums, he basically just said that he'd accept our surrender if we paid 6000 Gold to eRussia within a month of the treaty, Gaius replied that we'd be merciful if he did blah blah blah, and Parter called us spoiled children in need of discipline.
Moving right along, other news I found interesting was that of a U.S. War Bond Program, an American Media Mogul Project (many trusted eUSA government names on this; thinking of joining as soon as I get 5 gold...), and a Civilian Fighting Guide (perfect for you two-clickers).

Heard today that I might be running for Congress in Florida, but nothing's set in stone. And don't you find it funny that we were beating back the Indonesians on Country President Election Day and will now, more than likely, be dealing with the Russians at our door on Party President Election Day?
Just the facts, ma'am, America,

First!!
Cool
Some more facts. EvanTheAwesome(or the person who had hacked his account) posted in Russia an article with the text "I'm a kittycat. And I dance, dance, dance"(the same text were posted by Matrin Blumen, when he stolen russian reserve money) with attached images of Nomad, the robber of corovans(it's a russian internet meme). So, whe checked, what EvanTheAwesome did in last days and we found one interesting fact.
http://www.erepublik.com/en/USA/law/14154" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/USA/law/1415[..]14154 - see this law. In your browser everything is OK, but if you click "View source, you can see, that there are two spaces between words "Congressional" and "Budget". So, this is ANOTHER organization. We had the same problem in august: http://www.erepublik.com/en/Russia/law/12575" target="_blank">http://www.erepublik.com/en/Russia/law/1[..]2575
Whoa, nice catch, keks-n. Cpttom1's hacked account was also claiming to be Nomad and posted an article in Russia at some point and talks about corovans etc etc.
Which is really sad because that kittycat video is actually very cute...
Err, anyway, I'll ask about the whole page view source thing and all that, thanks.
I ♥ Astra
Corovan is a loose translation of caravan.
Back in the days of the silk and spice trade, the merchants would travel with their camels in single file to obscure their numbers.
What that has to do with anything I dunno.
Marla, my gf (who was born and raised in RL Russia) told me this.

Thanks for the trackbacks. 🙂
i was wondering about that cuz yesterday i looked up administration and looked at the proposal and saw some weird proposal so i say it was cpp, and then i saw some shout saying i am nomad so im looking at the other account with the budget office and i see i am nomad and im like wtf? did he make that proposal b4 he got hacked or something because by then i realized cpp was hacked but if they were hacked isnt that a breach of security no offense to them but if they were a breach of security shouldnt they not have high access until they use a spyware cleaner or something to get rid of the virus or something
thanks, AK, for the details. Glad they didn't really get the $$$.
Mutherclucking cheaters... great info!
Cpttom1's newspaper has been hacked as well:

Is this dude TRYING to get banned? Daring someone to ban him?
*giggles*
Thanks, everyone!! 😃
But in sadder news, it does look the hacker got the 50000 USD. Today's donation (to the real CBO) is about 50000 USD more than it should be for a daily donation, so I think we got the money back.
The fact that they used up Evan's appeal to keep him banned is vile.
What a bunch of tools.
