The week is up, and time to hand over the laurel to a new winner...

I dont get a chance to read a lot of AARs in-depth, mostly scanning them here and there... the ones which I have truly enjoyed, most of them are complete or have been already awarded, proving their worth...

One that I do find appealling is Chief Ragusa's Born to the Purple , a Roman EU2 AAR that I became aware after reading Amric's recommendation in the AARland bAAR...

Born to the Purple has some rather subtle writing, a weave of details within a vibrant and rich narrative that reminds me of Guy Kay's Sailing to Sarantium, a brilliant bit of writing that, while starting slow, draws the reader within its grasp and refuses to let go.

While a EU2 AAR would seem like an almost archaic choice, given that Vicky or Doomsday or even EU3 AARs have supplanted then in the current mind's eye, it would be a mistake to miss them potential gem.

I encourage all to go check out this masterful bit of narrative and to enjoy a writer who is clearly within his element.
 
Archaic? Sez you buddy!

Congrats, dag! and Congratulations, Ragusa! Well done!
 
Nice choice, congratulations Chief Ragusa :)
 
Congratulations Chief Ragusa!
 
Well done, Chief Ragusa!
 
Great choice, dag. But don't be too quick to sweep EU2 under the carpet. ;)

Well deserved, Chief Ragusa. I need to get caught up in your work and apologize for slacking. A hearty congrats! There is a free drink in the bAAR with your name on it. :)
 
Congrats Chief Ragusa! Only the best win this award :)
 
A most excellent choice!

Congratulations, Chief!
