Thanks, I was just goofing off Thank you very much, and I wish I had more than 1 vote so I could've voted all of them for your AAR for the awardsCongratulations then!
Congrats @diskoerekto!
Thank you for your good wishes guys
It's because of you all that I'm happy to be here.Many thanks, It's definitely been a long winded relationship with me and Suenik, and it's still as entertaining as ever
You deserve this additional moment in the sun, Colonel @diskoerekto - there will be no rest on the Balkan Front when hostilities resume. 3 Mtn Div will soon have their baptism of fire!
Oh, I am indeed enjoying my moment in the sun, for I know we have grim times ahead of usYou deserve this additional moment in the sun, Colonel @diskoerekto - there will be no rest on the Balkan Front when hostilities resume. 3 Mtn Div will soon have their baptism of fire!
And I hereby nominate @Nikolai as the next fan of the week. He's a great fan, and also has a great AAR himself
Wow, thanks a lot for that diskoerekto!Oh, I am indeed enjoying my moment in the sun, for I know we have grim times ahead of us
And I hereby nominate @Nikolai as the next fan of the week. He's a great fan, and also has a great AAR himself
Very happy to be awAARded this again, really appriciate it. Especially as I have had less time to read and comment on AARs this autumn.Thanks to both.
Thanks my friend, and watch out - I'm closing in (not really
) on your awAARd count. 
Congrats @Nikolai!
A wholehearted thank you to all of you!
As is proper for a Fan of the Week, it's time for a speech!
AARland is the life blood of these forums, it's grown only bigger and bigger the last few years and even though I try to follow as many AARs I can, and reply on them, it's getting harder and harder.
This just means there is so many more quality AARs though, of all kinds. I will in the following list some of the many good AARs I follow, not all, and certainly many will be left out. First of all, go read @coz1 's masterful trilogy that has been written over two years now I think? We're closing in to the end now. His last piece is the now long running The Heavy Crown [Book the Third on the House of Wessex].
First, a newcomer to AARs; @GoshDaMule 's Histoire de l'Humanité, a megacampaign no less, following the Norman af Munsö kings of France. Just started, this is well worth a read.
Then you have the return of an old master; @AlexanderPrimus has returned with The Last Goth, filled with intrigue in the world of CK2.
Another old master with a new AAR, but one following up one of his old masterpieces in EU2, is @stnylan and his The Future of the Red Lion. This time he is playing Stellaris.
Yet another oldtimer with a new AAR is @RossN with his Victoria 2 AAR The Age of Brass: A Spanish AAR, where we follow the struggles of this old world power, with plenty of details in the story telling.
In EU4, @Crimson Lionheart is entertaining us with the meteoric rise of Elysia - Byzantium reborn in America - in his The Third Odyssey.
In HoI4's Kaiserreich mod @SibCDC is telling a very different Kaiserreich story on Cuba, in his The Golden Circle.
Back in Stellaris land, another newcomer, @Commissar_Empanada is telling us the story of dwarfs in space (as opposed to my own Stellaris AAR on elves in space...
), in For Forgefather and for Kin!.Another newcomer is @scpour92 with his Stellaris: Tale of the Sol Dominion, a different take on the Commonwealth of Man.
If you are more into Rome, and need a Rome fix before Imperator releases, look no further than @Tiberionus 's WTWSMS mod AAR, To Rome and the World!, where Western Rome is saved at the last minute by the Nepos dynasty.
A new AAR this summer from one of the best AAR writers this forum has ever known, @General_BT , is A New Round Table - A Crusader Kings AAR. This AAR is slow burning, only having seen a few updates far and in between, but it should be read! Then head to his old masterpiece of years gone, Rome AARisen.
A very different AAR, which you all should check out, is @A Yorks ' The Hidden Flower of Lóulán, which just got finished. It's only three pages long, but boy what prose!
Back to one of the real oldtimers, a man who have been a member even longer than me(which isn't something many can say!); @hjarg is writing on his story of Portugal, The World is our Oyster.
Over in Victoria 2 again, @dragoon9105 is at the third part of his Khitan megacampaign, with Song of a Century. Do read them all! It's a great story.
Another megacampaign ongoing and well worth a read, is @RedTemplar 's The Eastern Vikings, Part 2. Do read part 1 too if you get the chance! Estonia's rise to power is a sight to see.
In Stellaris the creative juices have run freely for a long time. One of the newer AARs worth checking out is ThE Blessed Woods by @Vilhelm , a newcomer to AAR writing.
At this point it's getting late here, and I could have written about a dozen more. Minimum. These are all AARs that have had a post or an update in them the last seven days. There are loads more I really should have highlighted. Sorry to all the writAARs out there that deserved a mention.
I will mention one more though, one of the most impressive stories I've seen in a long time. A fan fic rather than a regular AAR, @MagKel has written a beautiful looking, engrossing, entertaining and totally absorbing tale. You really should read his Stealing the Thunder. Now. Two chapters is out. They are long. And his first post foreshadows new updates all the way to the third quarter of 2019. Do subscribe. Now!
Well then. This is my eleventh win, which is something I guess! It is time to hand off the awAARd to someone else worthy though. I'd like to nominate one this time that I believe have not received this honor before, and good supporter of my own ongoing AAR as well as others. I present you the Fan of the Week; @Ol' Johnny !
