Lloyien, thank you and welcome!Lloyien said:
I particularly liked that eminently unplanned fast-retreat and then fast-turnabout myself! I was getting very nervous, and yet the computer handed me a way out.
As for the mod, I've gotten quite some ways into it, but have gotten very busy and it will be on hold for a couple of months. No matter -- I wouldn't have time to continue the story just now, anyway! But I'd expect that sometime next year you'll be able to see progress on the mod, if not an HOI continuation of Kaiser Waldemar's reign.
That is not to say that I have forgotten about my other AARs, which I have not. I'm near to being ready to update both of them... just not there yet.
FJ44, when I said that I might not continue, I really had no idea where I might take it. Since then I've acquired a vision for an epic struggle that I think would fit very finely into the tradition of Fire Warms!fj44 said:And what happened to letting the old bird die?
Anyways, I assume you'll let us all know when the continuation shows.
As to difficulties converting forward to HoI2, this is the reason why I bought Revolutions and switched my own AAR to it. In case the AAR runs off, there's a way to move forward.
This being the AAR that first, back when you almost lost to France, convinced me to buy the game, and secondly, convinced me to start writing an AAR of my own, I feel a certain affection for Fire Warms. You, sir, have made an epic of this wonderful masterpiece. I salute you!
I have not purchased Revolutions yet. I'm sure I will, as I really love some of the improvements. But I don't have time to play it now, anyway. The conversion stuff, as far as I can tell, only covers things I've converted already, so I'm not sure it would be helpful to me.
Thank you, FJ, for your kind comments! I am proud to have spawned your interest in Victoria, and am certainly glad that you have decided to take on an AAR. As you know, I'm a huge fan of your writing and your rich and flavorful Japan AAR!
I'm actually thinking about doing a Japan AAR in HOI myself. But I'd probably want to wait until some of the flurry of these settle down (and, naturally, until I have more time to play!).

I am content to see this bob up and down the front page. It's had its time in the "fire-y warmth" of the sun. There is a set of very talented AARs occupying the top spots now, as they well should! I'm afraid I haven't been able to keep up on all of them, but it's certainly my intent to catch up.

Well I hope we'll be seeing something by you in the not-too-distant future somewhere in AARland.
I am still surprised that this is still on the first page. how long ago did you finish the epiloge? What are you going to go on to next I am wondering?
What are you going to go on to next I am wondering?
Thank you, Bismarck. To my knowledge, this has never left the front page at any time in the past 2 years because even after I ended it, there have been attentive fans and I have tried to be relatively attentive in responding.Bismarck1 said:I am still surprised that this is still on the first page. how long ago did you finish the epiloge?
The Epilogue finished in June.
VILenin & Co. (that sounds wrong... Would VI Lenin have a company???
) -- I'm debating many things as to where to go once November rolls around.Obvisouly, I still have my Afghan and Hamiltonian Colorado AARs to finish, which I intend to do.
I've played around with 2 Doomsday games recently -- 1 Romanian and 1 Japanese. Either might make an interesting historybook. The Japanese I would probably want to make narrative (which means LOTS of time, so.... we'll see).
For a long time I've had a Bohemian EU II AAR on my mind (which would probably now be EU III if I could recreate the cool game I had!). We'll see.
Who knows what else. The only thing certain is that I will not be leaving the Forums for a long time.

Something which makes us all very happy
I've been meaning to thank everybody who participated in the Jan-Jun 2006 VictAARian Cross competition... everybody, but also particularly those who voted for Fire Warms the Northern Lands and enabled me to win the gold VictAARian Cross!
I can tell you it means a great deal to me. I am proud of all the work and heart and soul I put into the story, but I am also sure that it would never have happened -- either the level of detail, or the final product -- without the support and encouragement of each of you folks who have commented on the story over the 2 years it took to complete! Thank you very much!
As an update, I must apologize for the fact that I've not been around lately. I have had as many as 3 paid jobs at a time recently, and currently also have various political projects underway. My Forum time is about 5% what I'm used to, and what I want it to be!
I'm hoping that once November is here, I can have more time to return to my reading in the forums, and likely my writing on some other AARs!
Thank you again for your help and support!

Rensslaer: ...I guess I should update the Index, huh? Kind of busy right now, but it's on my to-do list.
please let us know when this is done, Renss! !

I am massively busy for the next two weeks... After that, I will probably turn to this project.GhostWriter said:Rensslaer: ...I guess I should update the Index, huh? Kind of busy right now, but it's on my to-do list.

And maybe some others!
Thanks for your interest! I did update it partially just a few weeks ago, when I had little else to do. I think I got the index through the succession crisis which put Wally into power.

Re: my relative absence...
Thank you. I definitely will be back as soon as I can!
Meanwhile, it looks like you're visiting a lot of the very best AARs around. Thank you very much for stopping by and saying a word!

RE: Index
i noticed that your links only allow a reader to see a single post. is it worth the effort to link to the top of the page giving the post number you wish to link to so that the reader can both look at nearby posts as well as continue to read from that post forward (or, backward. )

Honestly, I don't know what to do about that. I think there's a way, actually, to link to that place on the page where the post is -- I've seen The Yogi do it -- but I don't know how that's done.GhostWriter said:RE: Index

I'd be glad (when I have time) to go in and fix this. It would be much preferable to how I have it.
And I'll also finish the index!
Thanks for your interest, GhostWriter... and for your never-ending support!

Just replace two instances of 6148906 in the sequence with the number you get when you click on the link to take you to a specific post.

Then I'll move onto several other game-related projects.

Out of curiosity Renss, have you made any progress in your porting of Fire Warms to HOI2/ are you still planning to do it?
IIRC, Rensslaer indicated earlier that he still planned to convert to HoI2, though it would take some time.Maximilliano said:
GhostWriter, Maximiliano & FJ 44...
Actually, I had gotten quite deeply involved in the conversion project when I got drawn away by another project (not related to Vicky).
Now, I have just finished that project, and am trying to decide which way to head. There's an EU III AAR in the back of my mind, but I'm not sure I want to do it (because I might like to publish the story idea!).
In any case, the Fire Warms conversion is likely to pick up again one of these days soon. It's just a matter of time. I'm modding it for Doomsday, so I don't guess that will be dying out or replaced anytime soon. I would say that sometime in the next year you will see me continue the story.
Thanks for keeping the interest alive!
My next project, probably, is to get the Index here in order. That shouldn't take long. Thanks, Anonymous, for indicating how I can do it!
