Wow, Loki! Sure are scraping the bottom of the barrel for this one!
Quite a surprise after all these years, I'm not exaggerating!
Thank you!
I guess when I last won this award I was on page 20 of
Fire Warms, which eventually reached 164 pages.
It's true, I've begun updating no fewer than 4 of my ongoing AARs this summer -- and as you noted, my
Roman Civil War AAR hasn't even been active in 4 years! But I was a little embarrassed to even show my face without an update this month, so just for you I've posted a new update in
Sforza, in the EU III forum!
My main focus, recently, has actually been on HOI 3 AARs. I have 3 currently unfinished, though
Locarno hasn’t been updated recently (I’ll get to it – just not yet). The good news is both
Kriegsgefahr (an attempt at a peaceful Germany which turns hot, but with a twist) and
Imperio Novo (my old Axis-Portugal stemwinder) updated in June.
I really liked it when I had a lot of time to post, update, and keep up with other AARs. Many of you know my time has been quite constricted lately, because I’m writing a book, I’m also involved in US political stuff, and as if that weren’t enough I have a very demanding “real” job that is requiring more attention lately than a mere 40 hours a week. Fortunately, what free time I do get often goes into these AARs – it’s my getting away from it all time.
Congratulations to recent winners before me! I’ve been trying to pop in when I can for those who I know, but so many of the talented writers these days are new to me – before I pass this on I have some serious reading to do!
This will be a good spur to me – not only to get me kick-started into getting more AAR updates done (Kriegsgefahr has one about ready to post), but also to re-familiarize myself with our recently emerging stars.
Thanks again, to
Loki100 and to everyone who has congratulated me!
Malurous, you do me great honor!
Mr. Capiatlist, thank you – great to have seen you keeping AARLand Choice going, and your own AARs, though I guess you’re on kind of a hiatus now, too, yes?
Robw963, thank you! And
Wave, thanks for keeping the Rome forum lively, still!
Avindian and
Qorten, thanks for all the support and comments you guys have provided over many, many years and many AARs!
I’ll pop back in shortly to pass this along – Loki, did you say I need to pass this on by the 22nd?
