​In the last few days, accusations have been directed at me — specifically, claims that I refused to give one region to the Albanian community out of personal or national motives. I believe it is necessary to present the full context clearly, without manipulation, selective memory, or emotional distortion. This article is not an attack, but an explanation. And the story starts long before this conflict.

I met Aldrich in late February or early March when he moved from eBiH to eCroatia. He quickly became politically active and joined my party, and at that time we worked together to remove Manga from power, who was using bots to maintain his position. In April, Aldrich became part of a government whose first action was to help the permanently wiped Albanian community by Macedonia in its efforts to regain regions. Because of this, his recent accusations that Croatia wiped Albania out of hatred are completely unfounded. In fact, eCroatia sacrificed all of its colonies at that time in order to help Albania (reference).

The first major conflicts between Aldrich and eCroatia began when eBiH took advantage of Croatia’s weakened state and attacked the Croatian core. As is often the case in Balkan conflicts, national and religious insults began circulating like mad. I will not deny the toxicity of that time. However, I can say with complete confidence that I never insulted Aldrich on national or religious grounds, and I personally issued timeouts and bans on Discord when discussions escalated into hate toward him or someone else. I always tried to calm the situation, not escalate it. After a series of defeats during what was likely one of the most toxic political periods in the history of the game, our paths began to diverge. Manga soon after that betrayed Poland and BFTE (he is villain for another article), and I moved to the USA (yes I know, rage-quit to another continent is very mature).

In June, contact between me and Aldrich resumed. For reasons known only to him, Manga appointed Aldrich as Minister of Finance (After this I really though Aldrich and Manga are same persons). Since I owned many companies in Croatia, I was actively monitoring the currency market and noticed unusual activities. When I tried to offer advice to stabilize the economy, Aldrich accused me of trying to profit at the expense of the state. The situation ended with Aldrich stealing the state holding, including companies, country currency and gold — resources the community worked months to gather (community tears included).

On July 1st, after losing elections and realizing he could not fight Manga’s bots, Aldrich decided to hand me the state holding, knowing I opposed bot usage and Manga’s political methods. The very next day, Manga was banned (God’s timing is sometimes too cinematic). eCroatia was left without a CP. I supported Aldrich to take leadership of the country, but the Croatian community firmly rejected him due to his previous actions. MysteriousMind became CP instead and invited me to be vCP saying: “Come back and be vCP, I don’t know what to do, my only task was to beat Aldrich” (at least he was honest — now return money you borrowed). Shortly after, Aldrich’s party was hit by an admin purge in which five accounts were confirmed to be multis (Shocking. Truly. Nobody could have predicted this plot twist), after which he left Cro and returned to BiH.

Later, when Aldrich returned the holding to me and I put Croatia as CEO, I made a mistake. I did not check the management roles because I though it’s impossible to have someone without shares as vCEO. Before transferring the holding back to me, Aldrich had assigned himself the role of vCEO (yes, I’m also idiot), meaning he retained access and once again took companies and funds. This reignited tensions between Croatia and BiH, leading to the ultimatum that Aldrich either return the holding or leave BIH by their leadership. He instead moved to Saudi Arabia and threatened Croatia with a wipe, which ended in the exact opposite outcome (oopsie). After that, all contact ended, and the trust was completely gone like socks after laundry.

On November 4th, Aldrich contacted me again, this time requesting one Albanian region because he had gained power there through PTO with suspicious methods. I redirected him to El Scorpion, and on November 5th negotiations began at 19:50. They ended at 20:15 when Aldrich started a RW on his own (the diplomatic equivalent of rage-quitting a chess match mid-game), effectively breaking negotiations. What followed were empty threats, accusations, claims that Croatia, Serbia, Macedonia, and Bulgaria have only a few real players and that all others are multis, despite him arguing with those same people on Discord daily, and attempts to rewrite history to fit his narrative. Aldrich has managed something no one before him ever could – he united all Balkan countries together against his lies and toxic approach to this game (yes, even that is possible in 2025).

I will conclude this TL;DR article with a clear and public promise to the entire Eclesiar community: When the first active Albanian player with genuine intent to rebuild the community appears, eCroatia will transfer the capital region to them upon request. We want to support growth, cooperation, and activity in the game. But as long as Albania is controlled by Aldrich and accounts linked to known multi-abuse networks, liberating the capital will never be an option.

For a better Balkan.
For a better Eclesiar.
For a game worth playing.
