Machiavellian finishes off his brandy and stands up. Taking off his top hat for one moment and setting it down on his table he glances around the bar. For a moment he taps his index finger to his chin, then speaks.
"Since it seems like the writer of the week has sort of vanished, I figured I would give my recommendation for AARs to read. Some are old, some are new and obviously they are only a few of the many. Here goes...
For EUII I suggest you read Merricks recently completed Ayutthaya - The March of the Elephant
In Victoria land, Coz1's Into the West and Seidita's The Kingdom of America are interesting reads.
The young Crusaders King forum has a lot of good new stories, one of which I have enjoyed so far is Rocky Horror's Not Soon Forget- The Crusade of the de Savoie Family a mostly narrative AAR about a very 'devout' family.
While I do not read many HoI AAR's, I have been following a few and one of my favorites is Lord British's tale At the Gates of Paris: A Fascist France AAR
Lastly, EUI, a forum I truthfully do not often venture into but you can not go wrong reading Morpheus506's Rule Bretagnia: A Breton AAR. Those are my picks for now. Keep in mind I am just another reader/writer, so in truth my opinion only holds as much value to it as you give it. Enjoy."

MAlexander06 walks in and sits down after a very long absence. He notices several new faces and is about to sit down when he walks to the front and makes a short announcement.
The One True Faith has officially been restarted.
He sits down and asks Amric for a drink.

He sits down and asks Amric for a drink.
"Good to see you back and writing again MAlexander06. Your first beer is on me if you have indeed truly started up your tale of two Byzantiums again" Machiavellian says with a smile, setting some cash down on the bar to cover the tab.
*Half tired, half dead, a lost little fella with two centimetre rings under his eyes walks slowly into the bAAR*
"I finally have Internet, and now that the exams are FINALLY over, I can profit from it. I feel great! *yawns*"
"What about that thingy of yours, the FlAAR?"
" Oh that thing! Naah, forget about that, I think its a weak storyplot. I am going to start a new one shortly, though... "
" What's it called? "
" The Order. No, not that movie with Jean-Claude van Damme, a different order. Two guys who go back in time to keep a sense of gentlemen knightly figures in an obscure Europpean world as feudalism is regressing. "
" Sound boring, kind of..."
"No ways, it'll be okay... rather... kind of... slightly.. ¿or not?"*Collapses into a chair, sips his drink, walks out*.

Farquharson wanders in after a short absence.
"Quiet in here these days - but I'm not complaining. There's plenty going on out there, with a few promising new AARs recently appeared. I would particularly recommend RossN's Three Crowns Munster AAR and Crimson King's March of the Habsborg. I thought it was worth mentioning to anyone who can't stand bad spelling that "Habsborg" is not, in fact, a typing error! Meanwhile, perhaps you'd be so kind as to pour me a glass of Malibu rum, Amric, I'm feeling in a Caribbean mood today."
Farquharson settles himself his favourite spot and pulls out a tattered copy of "HistoryPark: Here There be Dragons", which he started reading from the beginning not long ago.

Redwolf gets up from where he has been busy writing, " For those of you guys who have been reading my China AAR , well I am glad to say that it has finally be updated. Sorry to keep all you guys waiting but it's been a busy few weeks for me. Hope you guys enjoy!"
"Okay, I have just found out the only possibility of salvation for the FLAAR has been erased for music... Grand!!!
"I guess this means its over for FLAAR. Never mind, though, I will try to maintain that style of writing in my next AAR, which I have just finished altering the scripts for. I am going to test run today, so you can shortly expect the first entry of that. I hope it will be even better than the FLAAR, and if not, I guess the latter's success was simply beginner's luck.
"So, hang on tight, it's time for a ride on the unhistorical side; two guys go back in time...and try to take over Europe... Here goes..."
*After this huge display which surprised even the bAArman, who never even saw such a weird performance out of the drunkest drunkard, drops his glass and wipes his forehead with his teatowel. A similar schocked surprised effect in the others, from louts to drunkards to gentlemen in correct conversation. Who is this weirdo????? God knows... The whole bAAR then silently returns to its initial conversation...*

Machiavellian walks into the BAAR, approaches the counter and orders for himself a simple rum and coke. After a few seconds Amric pours the drink and Machiavellian offers him his thanks.
"I have returned from my short absense here. I am unsure if my lack of presence has even been noticed, but It looks as if I have a lot of reading to catch up on. On the EUII page alone their is a full page of unread stories that I must preview. I suppose after that I will move on to the other AAR Forum's and see whats new and then perhaps focus on writing for my own two tales. Unfortunately, I don't have the time today, but maybe I shall sacrifice some sleep tonight to begin my reading. Oh.. and because I am feeling generous, drinks are on me."
With those words, Machiavellian hands Amric a fold of bills, tips his hat to the good man and walks out of the fine establishment.

Valdemar raises an eyebrow at Ambassade's display, wondering how he'd find a teatowel in the EU2 bAAR, then shrugs, it must come from the tearoom, coz1 will straigthen it out.
He then flags down the tireless Amric,
"Good friend, I just dropped by to say that your job here is much appreciated. All though my AAr only get sparingly updated (but still updated) this place hold a special room in my heart."

Why thank you, Valdemar. That is nice to hear! I'm looking forward to your next update in your story as a matter of fact. I, too, wonder where that tea towel came from. Must have migrated from the tea room over in the Vicky forum. My new job has me working very long hours, and will as long as I stay in that industry, but it is going to pay pretty well once I get established.
pours more drinks and wipes the bAAR down with the Dirty Rag<tm>....

“Hm V what´s up, are you spamming every premises on this forum or what? However I agree, all bartenders do a tremendous work. Amric, sit down while I fetch a beer for you. New job? Sounds great, but the downside may be that we will not hear much from you in the future I guess, what, what?” Suddenly Judge picks up a bunch of paper. “This is the compiled version of the kingdom of Jerusalem-Modern Crusade story. Just finished it. Took me over a year to do it but it has been much fun, cheers to all that have read it!”
Nikolai wanders in, looking unsure around in the for him new place. Seeing Judge, he wanders towards him.
"May I sit down?
Thanks.
Woah! I must really say I admire your work on the Modern Crusade! It's been a real pleasure to follow! Now, have a drink on me. Want a beer?
Waiter! Two beers please!"
The waiter soon comes with the orders, and Nikolai turns back to Judge.
"Well, as we say in Norway: SKÅL!!!"

*Thomas walks in with a big poster. Walks to the wall where Amric glares at him hoping not to have another witty teatowel remark to occupy bAAR conversation.*
"No worries Amric! I don't have anything to comment of your teatowel collection, as tis was just made clear to me; you don't usually use one... Oh well, I must have been a bit drunko Either way, do you mind if I redecorate your bAAR with this here poster?"
*GLARE*
"Okay, I guess you don't mind, then do you? Thanx, man!"
*BIGGER GLARE*
*Thomas hangs the poster over the wall, taking up over 80% of the available space. Even more funny is that it's an orange flashing sign. Must be some kind of forum magic...*
The ORDAAR, READ it before its too late!!
excuse the pun...(Too late, when travelling back in time???)

EVEN LARGER GLARE!
That poster is a bit large. Tone it down a bit, would you? Yes Judge, my time will be very limited, unfortunately. I'm looking at 12 hour days since I am going to be selling cars for a living. I just sold one yesterday as a matter of fact. I'll have to go read the last installment of your wonderful Jerusalem story. I've been waiting for what seems like FOREVER for it...So everyone else should go read it as well...

"only to enhance effect, Master Amric. Your Grace has understood that no harm is meant behind this humble statement, I hope?
Good day to you, Sire!"
*Confused look on poor Amric's face*
Good day to you, Sire!"
*Confused look on poor Amric's face*
Machiavellian takes a look at the massive poster hanging on the wall, nods his head once and then returns to his cold glass of scotch.
"Fine stuff, fine stuff indeed.. and with a kick too." After finishing the drink, he goes back to scribbling down some notes. "Despite the delays and family issues I've had to contend with lately, I did manage to jot out a little for my next update of Upon the Desert Sands. I'm only maybe half done and not quite happy with what I have so far and i'm even struggling with some blockage, but hopefully I will have something half way readable by the weekend. Cheers everyone."

*A bunch of beers to everyone around Amric*, thanks for the kind words. Skål Nikolai great to see an almost countryman around. Amric I hope you will get some time now and then between the selling. If I had lived in the US I know who to buy a car from, cheers.
Valdemar slumps in LD's great chair (tm) and raises a weary arm to Amric.
"Well I've been touring the waterholes, a pleasant break, its part of my job you know, and frankly something I have been remiss in doing lately. I have however found a second wind, and will be around once again"

Fellas, I'm having a little fun thing with the SuperMod Sapura, now this will likely be cheating, but could I convince a few of oyu to head over to OT land and lend me your support?
Thanks, beers on me for today
