Shush with that. The updates are infrequent,* Guiscard's spot on with his points, and Opie's right that you should point people towards Praha since that's more charming.**

But Guiscard is spot on with his points - the writing is great and the character deep and humane. Add to him that it's a story too little told because Jewish courtiers aren't implemented in the game.

And when you get to feeling depressed that people like this instead of that, or how Shrek 2 earned ten times everything Charlie Kaufman's ever done or will do, put Sullivan's Travels in your Netflix queue. :D

*which isn't bad at all if it keeps the quality high, but means you won't get as many responses or awards & we risk seeing it get discontinued.
**I know it's a joke, but it's just silly not to include it or this on your inkwell page.

Once again, from the grave... I drag this thread...

Phargle, you're a genius!

Discovered this AAR sometime last month (via a link from another phargle-style one), and it's taken me a few weeks to slog through it. Thank you for the entertainment!

And having started on phargle is a totally awesome pope (thankfully, only 6 pages, not 124) has made me want to try Vicky again, after yeeeeeaars.
 
Thank you. That's humbling praise for an AAR that was finished in August 2008!

If you want to read a few more AARs in this style, here's a list:

The Adventures of the Crovan Clan a CK AAR by Alfred Packer
The Adventures of the Crovan Clan 2: The World Is Way Too Much by Alfred Packer
The Adventures of House Eurpontid an EU:Rome AAR by Alfred Packer
You Godwin son, and you lose some: A Family Saga by MechTheDane
Heroes of Belgorod - A Pecheneg AAR by EvilSanta
Phok It: A Tale of Debauchery, Bravery - Actually, No, Just Debauchery by Lordling
Real Men Do It Alphabetically: An AARgau by anonymous4401
The Misadventures of the House of Burgundy by theim
The Medieval KISS-AARmy - A MusicAAR About Nothing by EvilSanta
Ireland- Brave and Drunk by Steevo
Chronicles of the Preuilly's by Snugglie
My Tuscan Summer by Earl of Duke
The Adventures of King Kamehameha a Ricky AAR by Alfred Packer
The Mildly Interesting (if you like that sort of thing) Adventures of the Normans by C'est Moi
 
Thanks for those links!

BTW I read this back in October and found it both hilarious and brilliant. Just didn't want to be a necromancer ....

Still probably THE best AAR ever made on these forums IMO
 
It is indeed fantastic, I remember peeping in when I was a young nippAAR.

I can certainly recommend King Kamehameha!
 
I am late, oh so very late,
to find this Knýtling fate;
(so much I have absorbed,
that p'rhaps I should have abhored)
But I must take the time to utter,
or p'rhaps quietly mutter,

phargle Knýtling, you're a genius!



1. Knud IV
2. Valdemar
3. Judith
4. Knud I

Check it out, restored the images for the first post. I think I can restore 'em all.

Edit: Heck, just updated the whole first chapter. Enjoy.

Sometimes you go back to an old work you have fond memories of, only to discover it is not quite as good as you remember it. Your mind has edited out the bad bits and rose tinted the rest, there are many films I know would fare very badly in a re-watch and books I would doubtless abandon re-reading.

Delightfully the tale of Knut Knytling is not one of those and is still wonderful. I laughed, my plans were simple and I sent all my problems to the Church. Fortunately both the Pipettes are girls so I can at least rest assured they are mine.
