    Now I have to find a suitable replacement. I'd been trying to, but Easter family visits and stuff got in the way.

    Kurt_Steiner's "The Great War," for lampooning bad Great War leadership in increasingly absurd doses.

    I'll be honest. I'm giving Kurt this award because I'm pressed for time and because he made an unnecessary reference to "Paths of Glory."

    Congrats Kurty. You don't deserve really deserve this award for that AAR, but you do deserve some award so I suppose it all balances out in the end.....

    Inevitable Defeat - Slovakia '44 - The award winning characters Tiso and Tuka attempt to save Slovakia from defeat and destruction. It probably wont end well. It definitely did win an AARland Choice Comedy Award. Now Back from the Dead and updating.

    The Butterfly Effect: A British AAR - The finest slower-than-real-time British AAR on the board.

    Furious Vengeance - A 1944 UK AAR - My actual best work - Winner of the 2009 Iron HeAARt Award

    The other works

    After some excruciating hesitation, this award has a heiress!

    YF-23's Let's eat Pizza Napolitana!

    http://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/...nteractive-AAR

    I must admit that I've been a bit troubled to find a character as these days there are hardly any AAR based character -if we forget the usual ones, which have been awarded time after time, and I wanted to find some new or unknown AARtist -at least to me). Then I remembered an AAR which I use to lurk -the above mentioned- because I don't have any idea about how EU3 works.

    The main characters are the rulers of the Kingdom of Naples and, dunno why, I'm quite keen on her queens (above all, the first of them, Jeanne and the current one, Anne, who's as greedy as lovable -I can't help but to smile when she goes into troubles ).

    Finally, the other reason is, of course, my loyal pet, Peti Niebla. He found the AAR, he saw "Pizza" and told me "no more search".

    Hail to thee, YF-23!

    congrats YF-23

  17. #3337
    Haha, thanks (though I'm an heir not an heiress, if there's any confusion in that). I think character writing is the best (if not perhaps the only good) part of my AAR (as far as the narrative goes, that is). I see the rulers as being a bit more relatable to the player (and in this case, the readers), making their part of the narrative a character/player mix; so if, for example, the AI has done something that exceedingly stupid, or the gameplay mechanics arbitrarily cause something to not go as planned (a good example would be the end of the latest chapter, chapter 15, where peaceful PU with Sicily is prevented due to prestige difference despite claiming their throne), I may have the monarch's thoughts be similar to those of the player or reader, heavily tainted by their character as I imagine it.

    Is the holder of the awAARd supposed to pick the successor? I'm not much of an AAR reader, only casually skimming through a few of them, but if I need to pick the next guy I can devote more time to reading through them properly.

    edit:god that's a whole bunch of parentheses
