Sigurdr Snake-in-the-Eye and his Descendants: (A CK2 Old Gods AAR)

[Saxon125]

Well folks, so begins another AAR,

The premise is thus, I will play as Sigurdr Snake-in-the-Eye and his Descendants, from the third person perspective I will be telling the story from my perspective, as the scheming manipulative puppeteer pulling the strings of the dynasty. It will also be a comedy AAR, so I will try to be funny and humorous, but I will also try to make the AAR serious as well.
I plan on going for as long as possible, but knowing how my other AARS ended this might die soon enough due to technical problems. Either way I have some goals that I wish to accomplish in this AAR.

Goals:
Stay Pagan for as long as possible. (Failed)

Become King of Denmark and Norway.

Reform the Norse Faith. (Failed)

Form the Empire of Scandinavia.

Mods Used:

Interesting, think I'm gonna follow this one

Anyone know of a way to change the main title of the thread? I feel that since the AAR is going to be a serious peice of writing but also comedic I feel that the word comedy in the title just brands it as a comedy AAR. So I am planning on removing it.

Going to have to delay the start of this by a week, folks. This weekend has been a bit hectic, and school-work takes priority.

 

[Specialist290]

No worries; I've been down that road before. Hope all is going well on your end.

Really does not help that I am nearly done with UCAS, and yet it hates my card for some reason.
