OK, time to pass this on, but first, I'll provide a "fan's list" of some AARs I'm 'actively reading' and that have published or had commenting happening in the last couple of weeks, so they're current. They are in roughly chronological order from their last activity (owner or commenter). I highly recommend them all (note, my reading at the moment is pretty focused on CK2 and HOI2&3, so sorry for all the aficionados of the other games - but looking at the recent awards lists will give you a good guide there).

Der Adler, der Wolf, und die Sonne: Die Geschichte des Stahlpakts by @Wraith11B
The Great Pillar: Deeds of the Saxon by @coz1
American AAR : AI Experiments In HoI3 by @Eurasia
Road of Queens - CKII India AAR by @Eurasia
Before Plantagenet – A House d’Anjou AAR by @JabberJock14
The Song of Wessex by @coz1
Rise of the Folkungs, A Nordic AAR by @streaker77
Chrobatian Tales by @valentino
The Butterfly Effect: A British AAR by @El Pip
At the Edge of the World - A Portugal AAR by @Jokerang
'Odin' and Stalin's Secret Committee by @roverS3
Crossfires, a French AAR for HoI2 Doomsday by @AtlanticFriend
Inevitable Defeat - Slovakia '44 by @El Pip
The Little Dux by @TheButterflyComposer

Special mentions as well to some really valued fans who have been commenting on my own AARs recently (sorry if I've missed someone who should be on the list, but I'm just going off the last few weeks again and am of course eminently fallible): a couple I was seriously thinking of nominating for this too, but have won in the last six months (I'm looking at you @diskoerekto - superfan par excellence and you too @Idhrendur). Others I'd like to thank are @Wraith11B, @roverS3, @Eurasia, @Specialist290, @stnylan, @GulMacet, @Murmurandus, @alscon, @brovahkiin, @nuclearslurpee, @racebear75, and @Arnulf Floyd

But my nomination for the next Fan of the Week is someone who puts great effort into his commentary and who hasn't won this award in the last half-year, though he has done before: congratulations @TheButterflyComposer I hereby pass the baton (or fan) on to you! :)

thanks for your kind words to me :) This crew feels like a family to me for some time :D
 
Many congratulations!
 
This message was dictated by me, TBC, and written by my brother (hi). He has been good enough to type this out, but then again he is a student of law and therefore not to be trusted.

Thanks everyone so far. Shall try to get a proper response out within the next few days.

Hmm, does this mean you're indisposed again, TBC? :eek: Hope not! If so, hope you're feeling better soon. :)
 
Sorry to hear that. Hope things turn around.

Lawyers, I believe, are meant to act as their clients instruct them, so surely you can trust your brother? :D

(Ha!)


Perhaps. There's nothing much else to do at the moment so I imagine he's willing to cooperate.

(He said 'obey' but that seems a bit much. And he'll hopefully be alright. I really need to read some of these guides though cos I have no idea how to play these games but they're good at filling up hours at the mo.)

Are we all aware that if his brother is anything like Kelebek, he can master emulating his brother's style, hijack his account and fool us until the end of time he is the real Kelebek? we'll never know! It starts with changing obeys into cooperates and who knows where the editing will end?

Or,

Are we sure Kelebek has a brother? He may be just messing with our heads himself. There's no truth anymore. This forums and the universe is just a post truth puppet show!!!!!

He's onto you.

(I'm fairly sure TBC is the resident magnificent bastard in our house so not sure how I could replicate his play style. Mind you, from what I've read I could play Kelebek the homicidal lunatic side.)


As I recall, the Italian campaign where we annexed Axis members before they could join Germany was my idea, but my brother took over the middle eastern camapign with...mixed results. Presumably this is what he is refering to.

(Many people died.
Anyway, if all his AARs suddenly start getting uodates again, you all know why. Discotech blew this conspiracy wide open)

I DONT KNOW WHATS REAL ANYMOAR

I knew things would take a bad turn one day, but I didn't think the end would be this Lovecraftian. What exists?
 
How did I miss this? Belated congratulations to @Bullfilter for a richly deserved award and for some erudite and scholarly recommendations. ;)

And of course equal accolades to your excellent choice for this weeks winner, TBC. Congratulations indeed to both of you.
 
(Yeah, I'm still here. Just...bear with for now, ok?)

The Little Dux by @TheButterflyComposer;)

Good, good. I creep one step closer to taking over this board. And all from a hospital bed. Mwhahaha...

thanks for your kind words to me :) This crew feels like a family to me for some time :D

A source of cheap and free labour?

(You are so funny...)


Thank you!

congratulations @TheButterflyComposer you deserve this :)

I do, I really do.

(He may or may not have said that. Thanks guy)


Thanks, loving your stuff. Not commented in a while though...must get back to it.

Congrats to Sir @TheButterflyComposer, also know as The Dark Lord Kelebek of Albion

Albion? Now that's a blast from the past. Yeah...need to finish that too. Thanks.


Thanks, and thanks again for your kind words on my health.


Thanks, I really like getting this award. So many good recommendations come from this page.

Many congratulations!

Thank you very much.


Thank-

Um...ok.
(I find it amusing that his mind is melting because there's two of us.)

Thanks. And, I don't know, maybe you're getting slow in your old age.:)

(Wait, there's non-teenagers on this site?)

...what, you mean like...me?

(Oh, yeah.):confused:
