Thanks, I am amazed that my other computer still actually functions.
Its 4 years old and loud as a stampede and yet it still works.
Would anyone be enraged if I started to write this AAR in a humor focused format? I just feel like I can write better chapters by using humour. Not to mention the fact that I want at least one humour focused AAR that I have finished.
post your thoughts in reply to this post.

I do enjoy the format you used in the first chapter, but I think it is best to let the author find a style they are confortable with. If you think humour is better, then your writing will also benefit from it.
I tend to prefer your more serious AARs I will admit but go with what you find most comfortable Saxon
Go for it

Ta all for your wisdom, I will write the next chapter over the next few days.
The Yellow Crown: King Eadberht I: (810 -)
Prolouge I: The introduction of the comedic foil:
We begin our tale as a young man stands before a mirror.
Eadberht: I am Eadberht I Lord of Wessex Lord of the sev---
It is at this point that a great booming voice rings forth, cutting off young Eadberht from speaking.
MV: (MV) Behold my mysterious voice Ead.
Eadberht: Its Eadberht:
Mysterious voice: Silence! I have no time to pronounce Anglo Saxon names! I’d need half a pint of phlegm in my throat and that is something I do not want. Also, quit with that title, I don’t want to deal with another wedding related massacre. Now, where was I? Ah, yes I am the great mysterious voice who the writer has decided will serve as a foil to the Ingving Kings.
Eadberht: Who is this writer you speak of?
MV: (facepalm) never you mind, now as I previously mentioned I am here to guide you and your successors with my great knowledge and wisdom. For you see I have a beard that would make even the bushiest beard in all the land quiver in fear! Even Chuck Norris fears my beard!
Eadberht: How I am supposed to know this? You are merely a voice, how in the hell am I supposed to know you have a manly beard.
MV: My word is gospel! For your sacrilege, you will be punished! (Rick Ashleys never going to give you up begins to play causing Eadberht to cover his ears to prevent the sounds of hell frying his brain)
Eadberht: Ahhh make it stop please have mercy!!!
MV: No mercy! Unless you state the manliness of my beard!
Eadberht: Alright alright, your beard is the greatest in all the land. (The music ceases)
MV: Excellent now freshen yourself up before the rigors of ruling we are going on an adventure.
Eadberht: Will it be fun?
MV: This is CK2, its going to be murder, incest, plotting and casual murder of children and wives to ensure security, of course it will.
Eadberht: What?
MV: never mind.

The Yellow Crown: King Eadberht I: (810 -)
Prologue II: Let’s look at (some) of the family: 811 – 813)
The mysterious voice brings forth his beardy wisdom.
Here is Eadberht, a lovely man blessed with more intellect then most Game of Thrones characters. (here’s looking at you Robb)
Here’s a picture of Wulf his darling father, who was definitely not processed by demonic forces as a child and then murdered his brother. He was slain in battle by the CK2 RNG gods.
Speaking of which here’s a picture of Athelstan who was so named to please the Vikings fanboys, shame his brother scared him ****less as a child and killed him. Classic CK2 death right there.
Finally, here’s insert difficult to pronounce saxon name here. He’s the bastard son of Wulf and is the first of the line of the Wulfing dynasty who descendants will rule as the Dukes of Kent. (That’s sure to end well.)
You got all that good, because next time things actually happen!!!

Eadberht and Balthere look like they'd make quite the dynamic duo. One's clearly the Brains, and the other's obviously the Brawn (and not really much good for anything else -- looking at those stats and traits, Balthere strikes me as the "loutish meathead" type).
Eadberht looks like a good ruler, given his stats. Hopefully he will be able to expand the realm without too much trouble.
I'll make sure he smashes things.
He does rather well in that regard fear not.
