eHistory Channel - Episode 2

5 Day 444, 15:58 USA
Hello, and welcome back to the second episode of the eHistory Channel. I’ll be your host, Zelias. I must apologize for the delay of getting it out on the air, but I’ve been busy writing for the OG literary award and research. I’m sure you’d rather have me release an episode several days late than have it be only halfway done. We’ll be covering the first half of the 2008 eRepublik year since if I put the entire year into this episode it might take you two hours to watch. So we’ll just be covering January 2008 through June 2008 today. And I’m sure you’ll find this episode quite interesting if you’re into learning the war history of eRepublik since so many wars did happen in 2008. I hope you enjoy.
