The AARlander: Comments and Discussion

[robou]

Another great issue, and a big thanks to everyone that contributed!

I especially enjoyed your review, i think it has tipped the baot over to me getting EU3 and IN Very persuasive! And i am not getting it to play as Byzantium!

 

[Capibara]

Excellent issue! I specially liked TheHyphenated1's article

 

[comagoosie]

Estonianzulu: good to find out the history of magazine articles. I guess we may never know the mystery of the advocate.

Qorten: Good to see Gigau interviewed (does this ryhme?)...TWO articles by Qorten. Busy man.

thehyphenated1: I am a buff/Grognard. Dialogue...tricky, yet essential. Terminology, best to strike it in the middle, yet it can be impossible to define such a spot. How things work, surprisingly this is very important to me, I get paranoid if I can't figure out how the romans lived a certain part of their life.

Capibara: You study literature . Expressing feelings, men often turn this question away, yet you as a writer embrace it...interesting. Agreed, writing an AAR is a great expirence, make sure that you have a plan though.

phargle: Your title bothers me I don't think I want to read it.... Where is canonized mentioned. Those tricks are mighty good. Totality, something I do not get, and may need to work on.

robou: I have heard it called Dardanelles but not Gallipoli.

General_BT: star fortress, interesting.

canonized: cover is amazing. How do you do it?

robou: I have heard it called Dardanelles but not Gallipoli.

We Englanders use the name Gallipoli from the battle fought in the Dardenelles between the Empire and the ANZAC's against the Turks in World War I, rather than using the entire region name..

The Texas flag instantly made this one the best. No further questions.

well its the commoner's name, though most people favour here in blighty. Gallipoli, as i stated, was the major town in the region, so gave it's name to the entire peninsular, and the battle were fought on that peninsular, so the land part is Gallipoli, but the campaign on the whole, including the naval battles and the French landings on the Asiatic coast, are the Dardenelles Campaign.

gotcha.

I forgot to comment on your article *face palm*

English Patriot: I don't like Byzantium either *high five*. Scorching the land, also heard it is being used on your own land to stop invasions. The new states do add some flavor, but they end up being swallowed up by the blobs anyways. :nods: missions are the best, even generic ones. Way to use your name for the rebels Good to mention that pingponging is gone (though some non-believers say it is still there). The AI likes to hunt transports, I can barely hop a province before they get attacked. And I have to go against you when negotiating the AI

Capibara: You study literature .

Let me guess: I'm going to starve

*smacks forehead* It seems I accidentally posted this first in the wrong thread, but congratulations to everyone on a great issue and thanks to all for the positive feedback!

My title is the whipped cream topping of awesome.

Thanks for reading.

phargle = win but not enough canonized hate.

You guys are collectively all sorts of amazing lately. The issues are just getting better and better!

I loved the Yellow Journalism article.

I'm a GROGNARD. Which is fine. Vive l'Empereur!

No no, the picture of the Wookiee instantly made this one the best


Great stuff guys, fun to read

 

[ForzaA]

I object!

Bourtange (NOT "Bourtage") is a DUTCH fortress, not a French one...

hmmph!

Another day of French imperialism gone unchecked....

Other than that, though, quite a good read (well, ok, I only read the "why I hate canonized" piece besides... yet)

wait...hmmm...I guess I meant that you seem to do gameplay AARs and not narratives and it was surprising to me that you studied literature and didn't write narrative AARs.

Yes, I actually thought someone might say that when I wrote the article, but I'll probably be starting a narrative AAR this summer
