**Vann the Red** · 21-09-2007 14:46

Well, it is somewhat customary (although that has slipped a bit in latter days) to go on a bit about what one is currently reading.

Congratulations, Nikolai!

Now, if there is anything I'm supposed to do except sending the torch to a new fan in a week, now would be the time to tell me.

Again, thanks!

Well, one of the lessly-observed tenets of winning the award is that you get to tell us about yourself, and some of your favorite AARs!

Well, I better get on to it then.

I'm 21 years old, studies the Middle East in university in year two of a bachelor grade level. I specialize on history this semester. Lives in the old Hansa stadt Bergen in western Norway. I have played Paradox games since the times of EU1. Still not very good though.

So much for me.

I read a fair amounts of AARs, not always so good at commenting though(in my own eyes at least, I just got to know from the writer of one of my favourite AARs, History of the White Eagle, that I am one of his most active readers on the commenting side

). Hard to pick a favourite AAR, there are so many good ones...

Of the ongoing:

EU2: Byzantine's Khan, by Amric.
HoI2: For King and Country, by Draco Rexus. The Bear in Winter, by RossN.
EU3: The Rebirth of England, by English Patriot.
CK: Eastern Ambition, by RossN. Rome AARisen, by General_BT.
Victoria: The French Century, by kingmbutu.

But there are so many more GREAT aars out there!

Lastly, I would like to congratulate the new Fan of the Week: coz1! You are literally everywhere, encouraging new and old writers and always commenting in a constructive and uplifting way. And as far as I can see, you haven't had the honour since 2005. Way too long a wait! You have earned it!

Well, this is an unexpected but wonderful surprise and certainly does much to lift my spirits. Thank you, Nikolai, and thanks to all others who have stopped by to congratulate.

I am not sure I am worthy of the honor this week as my reading has been at the low end these past few days or so, but I value this award as much as any other and particularly appreciate what it honors - reading other's work! That, more than anything else, is the lifeblood of this community. I can only hope to give back at least half as much as it has given me over the years. Thank you once again!
