The bAAR: A Place to Discuss and Recommend AARs

[unmerged(10971)]

Judas comes in to prepare the evening meal. "Good evening, Barahir, Yngvar, Hajji, Yoghurt--" Judas stops. "Yoghurt? The EU1 bAAR is just down the road there. I can understand how you got the two mixed up, they look almost exactly alike. Oh, you meant to come here? Okay. I can understand that."

"While I'm on the subject of EU1, by the way, I invite all of you to look at my EU1 AAR, Kong Christian Stod ved højen mast. Oh, and don't forget to read the other EU1 AARs while you're there."

Yoghurt replies Judas.

"Oh well one must broaden ones vision some times... besides EU 2 is an excellent platform to create surreal stories around. I´ll be using EU 1 when I want to dominate the globe by pure power."

Yoghurt then takes another zip from his second drink and thus manages to spill half of it on his skirt...

"Oh darn, not again... well your Danish AAR yes I read the first posts just now. I´ll continue with the rest soon"

A haggard looking T stumbles into the bAAR and orders a round for the patrons. Grabbing two pints of Smithwicks for himself, he makes his way to a nearby table where he collapses into a chair.

"Cheers folks," he says, hoisting the frothy tankard. "The drinks are on me tonight for I've just completed my first CK AAR - the first CK AAR I think."

The hungry, desperate, longing looks from the other patrons frighten him. Slowly, menacingly, they advance on him...

 

[Judge]

“Come on, come on Mr T, give us THE most Important information. Where is it?” Judge immediately buys Mr T five new Smithwicks to make Mr T a bit more cooperative. “There you go Mr T, that´s right drink them all, now once again, where is it?”

 

[unmerged(6777)]

Five Smithwicks later, T is feeling chipper indeed...

"Thanks, Judge," he slurred. "My AAR's over there."

Judge squints in the direction T points. Perhaps it's an overindulgence of Smithwicks - although Judge has seen T drink far more than that and still be able to play and write - but it seems that the outstretched arm and extended finger point towards a wall.

"You wrote it on the wall?"

"Nah....other side."

"Other side of the wall?"

"Yeah...you need a key to get in there though, and special permission to take it out of the reference librAARy area. Maybe it'll get de-classified later. For now, you'll have to take my word for it."

"How 'bout a recital...an excerpt...anything?"

T sadly shook his head. "Can't do. It's the rules. Don't worry, though. It's a really short one so you're not missing much."

Sapphire walked in wearing Spaniard's uniforms with the musket in his hand and told everyone that he and his band of Watergeuzen managed to conquered Rotterdam and just the matter of the cleaning up the rest of the men. He also said:

"I am going to Rome to appease the Pope about the Dutch revolt. So therefore, I will go on Sunday on the plane to get there and return by Thrusday. So hopefully, I will enjoy Rome.

Let the Dutch revolt fight to the end"

Seriously, I AM going to Rome as part of A-level history trip.

 

[Judge]

T sadly shook his head. "Can't do. It's the rules. Don't worry, though. It's a really short one so you're not missing much."

“Well the length of an AAR has never been a reliable measure of quality” says Judge while disbelievingly shaking his head.

“Scctwickssss” says Mr T after quickly finishing a new Smithwick.

“I guess we have to find the holder of the key, our dear Johan. Now how are we going to get him here and then fill him with Smithwicks? As a matter of fact I happen to work just some hundred meters away from the Paradox office so I might”…[here Judge is interrupted by Mr T]

“Smithwick, give him Smithwick”. Mr T is sitting in LD´s nice chair made of Canadian lumber with two newly opened Smithwicks in front of him.

“Well yes.., I suspect that you can´t find that beer in Stockholm but I will do my best”. Quickly Judge leaves the bar to find Smithwicks and above all find Johan before Johan vanishes in the hordes of people who want to go home to watch tv and drink beer.

BAN! BANG! BANG!

Stroph, wearing a construction worker's outfit is busy.

"Sorry about the noise, folks. I am busy updating the LibrAARy this weekend. Things are moving aorund and some letters may go missing for a while. Be patient!"

With that, he puts his hard hat back on and gets back to work...

 

[Amric]

After pouring more drinks and such....

Happy Valentine's Day people! May your day be filled with love and happiness! On a slightly less related note....My Cyprus AAR has a brand new update! War, tragedy, and vengeance. Enjoy!

Stroph enters the bAAR and orders a triple whiskey. He sits down with a loud thud and takes off his construction hat.

"Whew. The update is almost done for the LibrAARy. I have added in all the new data into the alphabetical list. I still need to go through the update thread and make sure it is all done and then populate the regions with the updated data."

 

[unmerged(11366)]

Hajji suddenly notices something...Yoghurt just spilled his drink on his sKirt!

"Ah...Yoghurt...you having a wardrobe malfunction or something?"

After the band plays the complimentary drum-bang that comes after lame jokes, he reminds y'all: "Y'all, there's a very important poll going on up in the main AAR area, be sure to pitch in your twenty cents and stop by my Two Thrones AAR on the way back."

 

[LordLeto]

"Im writer of the week! Tequila shots all around! Lets get stinky."

*downs a shot, fallowed by the placing of a lime in his mouth*

 

[unmerged(11366)]

After spitting out massive lime chunks, Hajji ponders joining the temperance movement and notices that his abandoned Christmas AAR was entered into the LibrAARy even though he hadn't asked. MEMO TO SELF: TALK TO LIBRAARIAN

"By the way, does anyone have suggestions for my next tale?"

 

[unmerged(9046)]

Stroph was sitting off in a corner banging away on a big clipboard which contains the blueprints for the new librAARy. He looks over toward Hajji and sees a giant thought bubble over the troubled man. (OOC: like in the comics).

"MEMO TO SELF: TALK TO LIBRAARIAN"

Hmmm....

With that in mind, he flips the clipboard back to the H section and takes out his Number 3 pencil.

ERASE ERASE ERASE

"I have removed the Christmas AAR. It will disappear when the sections are put out again soon."

The LibrAARian returns to his work....

 

[unmerged(15337)]

"Amric, please allow me to pick up Stroph's tab tonight. His superb work in the Library merits much more than an occasional free drink, but that's the best compensation I can give him."

"And to everyone: you've got to check out Haba's AAR "Take London" in the Victoria AARs. Playing Switzerland, his goal is to capture London, and he's not kidding! This AAR has some of the best illustrations I've ever seen, and a wonderful tongue in cheek style."

"And now I need to retire for the night or else tomorrow will be a LONG day. Happy AARing, everyone!"

 

[Amric]

No problem, jwolf. Better get out that platinum card! By the way people, I have posted an update in my Lenape AAR<see my sig> today. I told ya I wasn't abandoning it!

Pours more drinks and directs newcomers to the various AARs being written by the patrons....

 

[Archeolooginspe]

Update on the Tolosan war and the participation of Flanders in it. See Vlaendre die leu!

 

[LordLeto]

"Bartinder, I belive the illustrious Judge owes me a beer."
