It feels great to have at least one fan, Hjarg. All the others mock me and call this a strange AAR because i don't do it the traditional way...*weeps*
“After hiking to Alexandria on a small fishing boat, I decided to take the first ship available that was heading for Constantinople. I longed so for my dear home country.
The ship Cassiopeia where leaving the next week, and I where on it. Cassiopeia was a large merchant vessel, that should sell their valuable load of sheep in Constantinople. The naval technology had improved while I where gone, Cassiopeia where not only larger than any ship I had seen before, it was also equipped with a number of cannons.
A sunny day in may we entered the sea of Marmara, now my journey was about to come to an end. And while the sun raised on the sky, the silhouette of the city became larger and larger. When arriving to the large harbour, where you could see ships as far as you could look, I almost wept.
But things had changed while I was gone, my favourite park had been destroyed, now endless rows of barracks where there instead. You could also see a lot of soldiers marching in the streets. Who was this new king, was he the one who had taken the task of reclaim old Byzantine lands. I decided that I should make contact with him.”

Oh, you wrote that just for me? 
Thanks!
Oh, you prolly have some more fans, the quiet little buggers who don't bother to say a good word or two.
And let's put it this way: there is a lot of "traditional" AARs, but yours and Prussian one are a welcome change. So keep it coming and don't make me whip you too often.

I believe I said earlier that I liked the long introduction, it's a great story... you're ignoring me! *trys to weep, fails, shrugs and walks away*
Looks like i have to beat every installment out of you, Bearnie! We are waiting for the next, and if it doesn't come soon, i'm gonna give you a physical reminder
“The easiest way to come close to the king was trough the court, but it would also take to much time to reach the side of the king for a minor noble as myself. I could also take the way trough the military, but that could take many years to reach a rank high enough to come close to the king. I didn’t want to work in the administrary either, I despised the bureaucracy, and it’s slow paperwork.
This was a big dilemma for me, I could do anything to become close to the king but didn’t know how. I was desperate, what should I do. My next moves symbolise the state of panic I was in, and nothing else.
I joined the kings court (after sleeping with his mother) and then became one of his personal adviser (after sleeping with his brother). Now, when I was a part of the real business, things of big changes would come. The world should tremble.”

I had forgotten you Sharur, I will immediately add you in my fan book, I'm very sorry (do you want my autograph as compensation?)

Great update, and I would love the autograph. You can sign it: "To Sharur, with love and consternation, Bearnie"
Ha ha! I tricked you all with my weeping trick, now everybody post here
Fools, now I will never let you go, physological warfare it's called, learned it from a certain estonian
Yeah right, about that autograph. I can only give you the 'virtual' version, sharur, hope you don't mind. Here it comes:
To my dear friend Sharur, with love and consternation, Bearnie
PS. What do consternation mean?. DS

Ok, sleeping with his mother (and his brother)? Who's next on the list? King's dog... or the king prolly has a lot of sheep as well. Sleeping with them would guarantee you getting into high society
And see, told you- people like your AAR Just too lazy to write and say they like it.

Dictionary.com says consternation means: Amazement or horror that confounds the faculties, and incapacitates for reflection; terror, combined with amazement; dismay.
Well, that's not exactly what I meant, I guess I misused it. I just meant that you were annoyed with me/disliked me. Oh well, I guess you could fear me too I'm a pretty scary guy
