As some of you may know I’ve kept a monthly update of my plans for the HOI2 Library in the General Discussions area the last two months. I’m now making the move to the Library Update Thread in hopes that I can gather a few more HOI2 eyes.
Blurbs:
First mentioned last month it was my hope that a few volunteers or active AAR writers would offer blurbs for their own ongoing/completed AARs. After receiving not a single piece of mail on this subject, I’m closing down the idea.
Dates and Future Updates:
I’ve only added a few months during this last month of June and I’d expect the same output during my - expected to be - very busy months of July and August. However, when September returns I ought to be able to add many of the older AARs to the list.
Want to Help the HOI2 Library?:
Due to June being a surprisingly busy month and the news that July and August will likely be busier for me, I’m looking for help to catch up on the HOI2 Library. There’s a few reasons for this: There’s about 90 pages of AAR titles and its impossible for me to go through them before the New Year. If you choose to volunteer (contact me so I can assign you a few dates, be sure to tell me how much you can handle) you’d have to take a list of: 1) The title 2) Author name 3) Date began and ended 4) Genre type (one of five) 5) If any mods were used. I can tell you how to speed through it and how to look at each AAR so it doesn’t take more than one minute.
Enlarging Countries:
I was going to try to do this in the month of June but now I’m going to concentrate on doing it in the month of July. I’ll be making the
Country one size larger than the rest of the point size so your country is easier to find. I’ll be attempting to do this with the author names and mods later on.
Mods:
Once again I have to push this back, likely to September. I’ll still be adding to the Mod Section of the Library but the most popular mods won’t be on the first post of the Library until I feel I have enough AARs to tell me what have been the most popular for AAR telling through HOI2's history.
Use the Update Thread:
If you want your AAR in the Library, mention it in the Update Thread. If you don’t then I won’t add it to the Library until the Library is near completion. Its true, you’ll still end up in the HOI2 Spotlight if you don’t place your AAR in the update thread but you won’t be added to the Library. If you don’t want to spend the time or don’t have the desire to want your AAR in the library, then you shouldn’t expect me to shoulder the burden until I've caught up. Follow the basic guideline
here.
Lastly:
No matter what, the HOI2 Spotlight will always be updated every Saturday at some point. Sometimes, depending on where you are in the world, the update may be as soon as late Friday night or early Sunday morning.
