B. About ePoland History
A very nice overview provided by Mizeroi
"There are events you could mention.
1. Battle of Rhone Alps
2. Battle of BaB (lost, but it was huge huge battle)
3. Betrayal of polish MUs - event with many repercussions to present. It was right after the fall of long-term relations with Croatia. Many polish citizens disagreed with polish government, who decided not to keep alliance with Croats. It leaded to awkward situation when players called them-self 'patriots' decided to join anti-polish alliance. It was like 3 years ago, but the hate between Crolaks (Croat+Polak) and Polish is still in mind of old players.
4. Shaql the Cracker - the event took place 4 years ago and it's like polish Watergate, cause involved many important players like Mixliarder - the leader of the biggest polish party and few others. The thing was about cracking citizen accounts which was more or less ordered by Mixliarder. Shaql - the guy who did this left the game and Mixliarder was sentenced by polish Congress for an exile. He moved to Estonia when he became the president.
5. Wybranowski PTO - it was very clever action of taking over the biggest polish party by one guy. Wybranowski made a new account and for many months pretended to be someone else. He became a trustful member with full access to internal small talks and after being chosen as party president he revealed himself and published all top secret data. Lot of fun."
