Estonianzulu laughs to himself.
"Gentlemen, you may want to go back and fix the mess you made. I don't think the baartenders like pulling out their quote-gun. Its a hassel really, dodging those innacurate things. It doesn't help that this is a baar...
Anyway, you might want to clean that mess up before the bossman shows up."

Okay updated (thank god I didnt die when I jumped out the window, so I can correct my mistake 
)
(101 total posts - 62 of mine) / 101 posts = 0,38613861386138613861386138613861 = 38.6 %
Helluva lot more plausible

This is really interesting discussion you boys have... I did´t imagine I would encounter any kind of math in bAAR. Maybe the beer-counting, but percentage?
And BTW, I tried it myself and got 83% for my first AAR.
I guess I should be honored. I am.
Oh, and I must not forgot to mention my favorite CK AAR - Bearly Surviving: A Novgorod AAR by Paranoid Tsar.

Zuckergußgebäck walks into the bar dressed in a feldgrau uniform covered in snow.
"Phew, it sure is a hell fighting in the Ardennes at this time of the year! 60 year anniversary, who could have guessed?"
He looks around the bar before walking up to the bardesk.
"Give me a large german beer!"
He looks to his right ad sports several soldiers of 101 Abn, he takes cover, ducks under a table, makes a molotovcoctail out of a vodka bottle, throws it at the enemies and turns to whoever might be interested.
"I sure wonder why no one has made an AAR about the HOI2 demo yet?"

tombom orders a beer, and then realises he hates alchohol. (and is underage too)
"Indeed, Zuckergußgebäck, I do wonder. It would ease the pain of us who have no demo. "
"Oh, and I would like to raise a question with the more informed among you. I am currently writing a CK AAR that is very little to do with the game. I'm trying to make it so that it's funny. I enjoy writing for it. However, another AAR I'm still not sure whether to write, but started with a prologue, is already getting lost of replies. Is it better to write something you enjoy but recieves few replies or something you don't enjoy but has many replies?"

The bAARtender stops wiping glasses with his Dirty Rag(TM) and looks up.
"It is always better to write what you want first and foremost."

Valdemar dressed in the attire befitting his current station as King Felipe II of Spain strode in to the bAAR
"Have a very merry christmas all, I leave for a small break, and be back in full on wednesday, but do not worry, I will peak in once in a while."

LordLeto bursts into the bar with a huge grin on his face. And says (probably a tad to loundly):
Guess whose back boys!
Barkeep! Rum and Coke on the rocks with a slice of lime.
Withthe barkeep fixing his drink he continues.
And without further ado I am proud to annouce the grand Re-opening of my latest AAR(if it can be called as such) The Plains of Siberia: A Tuscany AAR.
With that he moves to the bar to collect his drink.

Lord White walks into the Baar and breifly looks around.
"Just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Chrismashanakwanika. Happy days to all," He says before departing through another door.

Shy Kid walks into the baar. He is not quite sure how it works, but a retired Madison Avenue ad man promised him it would help views on his AAR.
He sits down at a table, and pins a sign to the wall.
SIGN reads "Come one, come all, to the tale of the Crusader Mafia, an AAR of the County of Napoli. Watch in AWE as Count Sergio forgets he has a wife! See the DRAMA as Sergio gets a lesson in how Training Grounds work! FALL OVER LAUGHING as stale Monty Python references reach a new height! Oh yeah, and if you just stand here staring at the poster you might get whacked."
Shy Kid then sits quietly, waiting to get into a bar fight or something.

Stroph is standing behnd the bAAR wiping down the glasses with his Dirty Rag(tm) when he spies Shy Kid. Not sure if Shy Kid is of drinking age, the bAARtender pours him a big frosty root beer and walks over.
"Welcome to our little bAAR. I hope you come by here often and join in (or start) a little conversation or two. Please take a moment to read the rules. The first drink is on the house!"

What is your opinion on reader cameos? I'm giving them away based on percieved merit, is it better to say, sell them to the highest bidder?

"What is my opinion on reader cameos? Hmmm. In my AARs, I try and build in readers into roles in my tales. One way is to take existing characters and change their names when they first appear to the reader. Another I have used is to create new persona and build story around them. In my current tale, the general who leads the Brunei army is General Lofman, named after a reader named Loffman. If you want to see a story that used Cameos in a very good way, look in the HOI forum for the Luxembourg tale. He made great use of the cameos there and built them into his tale.
I hope that helps."
With that, the bAARtender Mod begins to humm Christmas tunes as he continues to wipe down the glasses with his Dirty Rag(tm)...

Dont know if it counts as a Cameo but I wrangled Amric into Colonizing Texas once or twice in his AARs.
Good-day Mssr Roy, I see you've updated your long lost Lithuanian AAR.

Valdemar, still dressed to kill as Felipe II, pops into the baar,
"I'd say dear Amric, did you read my note in your last post? It seemsto me in the last days the holiday jitters have made the patrons of your former place of employment forget their speech code so to say?"

coz1 walks into the bAAR, slightly hungover and in need of libaton to equalize his head and stomach.
Barkeep - beer me, if you please. Hair of the dog - that's what I say.
He carries with him a large dry erase board with pen and eraser handy. Setting them up by the bandstand, he gives a quick nod to the lovely Erika as she gyrates to the music of The Wlak Pack.
Good people of AARland. I have made a New Year's resolution, so to speak. It is a challenge both for you and for myself. With the recent disaster in Southeast Asia, I have desired to do my small part to assist in the recovery. Though most of what is needed is feet on the ground and hands to help administer the aid given, I still know that money would never be turned away.
As that is the best way I can assist at this moment, I make the following pledge. For every AAR recommended in this bAAR between today and Sunday, Jan. 16th (let's say noon, my time) I will donate $1 to the Red Cross. If the total figure ends up under $100, I will match the figure. Though $1 does not seem much, I am hoping that you good folks will assist in putting in your two cents and making that figure rise. Also note that I can go no higher than $300 with my current budgetary restraints (though I would not think we would get that many.)
Further, anyone that wishes to copy this pledge would help do their own part, to be sure. Consider that if five people make this pledge and the end figure is $100, that is $500 going to the Red Cross or whatever other organization was picked to utilize the donation. With ten you get $1,000. See where this is going?
coz1 picks up the pen, writes his own name at the top and starts a running total. With a slash marked underneath his name, he notes that one AAR has been recommended and then turns to the crowd,
To get us started, I would suggest that everyone take a look at TreizeV's VIVE L'EMPEREUR! Glory of the Eagles. He has slowed recently due to school and a lost copy of EUII, but the tale is starting up again and it is not to be missed!
So come on folks. Let's hear what you are reading. Simply stop by, say hello in character and give a recommendation or two. At week's end, I will total the amount and announce it here. Of course, I and everyone else participating in a donation will have to be on an honor system, but I trust that everyone will do their part if they pledge to do so. Let's hear what you think should be read. And let's help do our part for those feeling the brunt of mother nature right now. It's the least we can do.
He downs his beer and orders another, not quite sure the first was enough. He then counts his ducats to make sure he can afford another and stay true to his pledge.

A young woman in medieval clothes is busy working in one of the quietest corners of the room. She is scribbling away at a piece of parchment with such fervour it is a wonder her quill does not split its nib, and ink is spattering everywhere. Every now and then she pauses to think, absently twisting a strand of her darkish gold hair about her index finger. It usually does not take long before she returns to her furious scrawling, focusing on her work to the exclusion of all else.
It is in one such pause that she overhears coz1’s announcement. If she had not been pausing she would doubtless never even have noticed that coz1 was here, let alone speaking. She lays down her quill, blinks and rubs her mongrel blue/grey/greenish eyes like a sleeper awaking.
Gracefully she rises and begins to head over to coz1, only to trip over the leg of her table. She curses quietly and viciously, then limps on her way blushing heatedly.
“Your cause is a worthy one and I would be glad to assist in what small way I can. I do not have time to read much, but I do try to keep up with several works. Currently my reading list consists of Bearly Surviving: A Novgorod AAR by a chap called Paranoid Tzar, The Trees of Autumn by Judas Maccabeus, and finally one away from the medieval realms, Into the West by coz1.”
“It has also come to my attention that people have spoken highly of my own scribblings here. I would like to extend my thanks for their kind words.”
That said frogbeastegg rushes back to her own table, and her writing, managing to tread on the hem of her dress once, as well as kicking the same table leg she stumbled on before. The embarrassment is forgotten as she picks up her quill and begins to scribble again.

Stroph puts down the Dirty Rag(TM) that he had been busy wiping down the glasses with. He reaches behind the bAAR and pulls out a shiny new bAARstool. He wheels it around to the front.

This chair is dedicated to Amric, our friend who will be leaving us soon. We hope he will return one day.
