An American Heart - A tale of War, Adventure, and Bravery with supplemental graphics

[Lord Durham]

I thought King Lear was dead... Oh well, say hi to him for me.

North Carolina? Keep coming north to the border at Buffalo, cross over and follow the highway to Mississauga. MrT and I will keep a beer in the fridge for ya...

That's Canuck beer, not the soda pop you drink down there

 

[Sorcerer]

Hey, he's German. He knows good beer.

 

[Syt]

...and prefers Guinness from the tap, nevertheless.

 

[Syt]

Oh, great. There I was, wanting to relax myself for the trip to the US with continuing to play - but whenever I try to start EU2 I receive the Blue Screen of Death.

Which means I will have to re-install everything (again!).

On another note, I am writing again. But not AARs. I am currently edging out a rather elaborate fantasy background which will be the stage for a plot I have in my head.

I am sorry if this disappoints anyone, but these facts mean a full hold for all my AAR projects at the moment.

 

[Lord Durham]

At least you seem to have your priorities straight, Sytass. My writing career has taken a back seat since EU's come along.

If you need any critiquing, let me know. I've become quite good at it, thanks to all the time I spend at the SF&F writer's workshop I belong to.

 

[Syt]

Thanks for the offer, LD, but you'd have to wait for the English translation as German is my first language.

 

[Lord Durham]

Yeah, right. Your English is so good I keep forgetting...

Translate it anyway...

 

[Syt]

If I ever have anything published in some years' time, I hope it to be translated...although translations hardly ever do a work justice, no matter in which field it's accomplished.

 

[Sharur]

Ah, but if the writer himself translates the work...

 

[unmerged(6777)]

True. Beckett did...in no less than four languages.

 

[Syt]

Thanks for the kudos. I think my English is none of the worst, but far from being adequate to reach a professional level for translations.

Ok, it's 6:25 am, only 2 hours till I leave for the airport to take a three week trip to the US (North Carolina). I might post occasionally, but don't count on it.

Seeyas!

 

[Sorcerer]

Anyways, if you need an opinion from a German reader, I'll be glad to be one of the first to read your latest work.

 

[Syt]

*chimes in on a rather uneventful North Carolina morning*

Thanks for the offer, Sorcerer. I'll keep it in mind. Actually, I think I'll be a bit of the trodden path with my vision of the world, as I think heroic fantasy has been a bit overdone by now.

 

[unmerged(6015)]

Sytass, are you going to continue? I konw it's only just been three weeks and you're probably tired and so on but hey, it's a good story!

 

[unmerged(6015)]

sad to see it die are you going to continue sytass, it was a very good aar

 

[Syt]

Thanks for the encouragement, but as I had stated further up the thread, the game had become unplayable thanks to my files having become corrupt (maybe because of my tinkering with event files).

I feel inclined, though, to *maybe* start something new again soon, but at this very moment my inspiration is rather in the field of fantasy, or later historical periods.

Should the muse decide to kiss me again, though, I hope to be back for good....I miss the friendly company I enjoyed here too much... but I am one of those posterswho, if they have little to contribute, post little, and who, if they have nothing to work on, rarely visit the AAR forum. Which might be a mistake after all.

As I just said in the Fields of Glory thread, I read the whole AAR. It really was an excellent read. I think I'll have to read your other AARs now.

BTW: So you're Germanand yet prefer Guiness!
Singing: He is a jolly good fellow, he is a jolly good fellow...

Yep, Guiness is wonderful, esp. if freshly tapped.

Glad you like this one, although it unfortunately fell short thanks to a virus leading to my extinguishing the game (and eventually the whole harddrive).

Another AAR, completed, but not in my signature, if you're interested: Providentiae Memor - A Saxony AAR.
