Honour where honour is due!

Congratulations, Alfred - your AARs are truly amongst the most entertaining of the forum.

Congratulations!

Unfortunately, I do have to correct one of your assertions:

And even in update titles:

and the narrative itself:

Why, your story has almost as many parentheses as jokes!

Yes, yes, I'm aware that this exposes me as a blathering nitpicker with way too much time on his hands.

Anyway, congratulations on the well-deserved award!

I am humbled...and have changed my earlier claim to reflect this.

A belated congratulations to the past winners and a whole-hearted congratulations to AP, who continues to put out great work.

**Alfred Packer** · 15-06-2009 11:08

Alrighty...I've held this prize as long as I could, but the time has come to pass it along. First, though, thank you to ProfessorEGADD for nominating me, to all of you well wishers and to every Commentor and Lurker who reads my crap. You guys (and gals) rock.

Now, onto a successor. This is always hard for me. I've poured through the list of recent winners, I've poured through the AARs I read (I read alot more than I comment in...I wouldn't have time to read as much if I didn't lurk) and there are a lot of you who deserve this award (certainly more than I do!), but in the end, I've decided to send this awAARd over to my first love, Crusader Kings.

There is an AAR going on there which is (yes the word choice is awkward) deliciously funny. Not only is it funny, but the humor is quite character-driven and he's given each main character a solid personality, from the Agnostic Court Bishop (okay, not a main character, per se, but damn he's funny!) to the calculating and hard Bo, Duke. (The fact that the author pretends that his highly original, outrageously funny, and very well done work is in any way a 'ripoff' of mine is flattering to my ego, but wasn't the sole reason for passing along this award

) Frankly, it is hard to believe that this is the author's first attempt at an AAR!

I give you There and never back again: Escape from Sweden and Kommunaut. Kommunaut, enjoy you week in the sun (oh, and speech!)

(God! Stuyvesant was right! It's like a sickness or something!)

**Enewald** · 15-06-2009 11:54

Kommunaut!

Gratz!

**Kommunaut** · 15-06-2009 12:13

I really did not expect this. Wow. Since There and and Never Back Again: Escape from Sweden is not only my first AAR, but my first attempt at writing anything even slightly amusing, let alone funny, this comes as a huge surprise. I'm glad that my creation is well liked amongst those who read it.
...Well, that's it for a speech I suppose. I'm really not that great a writer, I think.

Congrats, Kommunaut!

**Le Jones** · 16-06-2009 06:35

Congratulations Kommunaut!

**Lord E** · 16-06-2009 10:44

Well done Kommunaut, congratulations

**Stuyvesant** · 16-06-2009 17:14

Congratulations, Kommunaut! Your story is a great antidote for all those assertions that the Swedish are ridiculously over-powered and over-gifted in every Paradox game.

Here's to many more smiles, chuckles, guffaws, etc.

**Kommunaut** · 20-06-2009 12:58

Alas, my time in the sun must now come to an end. This leaves me in an awkward position. My favorite author, character and regular, is Alfred Packer, who nominated me. But I wouldn't feel right giving the award back (as he was the one who gave it to me, so someone else surely deserves a chance). Thus, I will nominate Valhalla's Call, and his AAR The Bagratunis - A GeorgiAAR. His current king/narrator cracks me up with his obsession with awesomeness. The characters have a personality, and he makes sure they stick to that personality. So, that's my pick.

Congratulations!
