Great AAR Warspite!!! :D
Really, I enjoyed it a lot.

I tend to like playing (and reading AARs of) minor countries. I don't know why, I just like minors. :)

correct me if im wrong, is this the only fully completed AAR on this forum for the past month or two? no make that several months :(

Like i posted before in the save the papacy thread, i am tired of people starting AARs and then just dropping them, i am not the most active person on this game forum and i dont have the time for my own AAR. But i think someone who starts an AAR should at least have curtosy enough to finish the job because people put just as much time reading their work and expect to see the end. While im at it, let me vent.

Warspite, your a great writer i love your work and that you finished this AAR, but dont you think you are taking things a bit far with four AARs at one time, now you said you are putting your AARs on hold because your busy, ahh go figure that :p you of all people should know AARs are hard work and take time. Your italy aar is by far the most successful and influencial AAR in this forum, but you will never finish it and if you do it will years before you do at this rate, theres no way ill stick around that long.

Its not just you warspite, i started reading ariels aar awhile back and now he quit or delays time and time again, that sucks. and then there was durham who quit for awhile and i lost interest in that because i cant trust him to finish his work either. Then the other countless AARs that start and never finish. Fact is this AAR forum is a failure in my eyes because its a graveyard of unfinished work. The point is, the fun of reading an AAR is reading the whole story, your humble beginning to your grand ending, or in this case, disastrous ending. Im glad to see you finished this quick AAR but i hope its a trend. So many good stories to read here but what good is an unfinished book?? really.

So now i guess you can tear me apart, just remember im a loyal aar fan just a bit disgruntled. I also might be expecting too much from AAR writers:rolleyes:

I feel your pain mosquito, you have to remember though, this is all for fun, none of us get paid to write this stuff up or spend all this time on here. So your going to see unfinished work, lets face it we have no boss here.:)

I intend to complete all my existing AARs, sure it could take some time but thats the way it goes, one reason i wrote this ethiopia aar was to just break away from the slow moving italy aar and just have fun and write. Now im doing that with sweden aar. ariel is a busy man and durham just needs his feet licked now and then to keep writing:p this forum is in a golden era, never has there been this much participation and creativity. Instead of asking for perfection, just enjoy what is out there and encourage them best you can. As a writer, i know your encouragement is half the story.:)

Enjoy!

Hey mosquito, and why don't you make your own AAR? maybe one of disgruntled governors?:D

No just kidding, it's part of life, sometimes you get what you want somtimes not, and besides as warspite says, this is for fun. And remember that fun is a thing for both parties.

Speaking of fun, you must be having some, Argael. I'm pretty sure that you've posted on every single aar on this board :D Where do you find the time to read all of them? I've been told that I post like crazy, but even I don't read ALL of the aar's. Of course, if you ever start your own aar, we could have another warspite :D

Thats funny.
I have said that I'm thinking of starting one, but I'll probably intentionally get myself whacked so that I can quit it. :)
