When will you start writing an EUIII AAR?

[Duke of Wellington]

How long do you think it will be before you write your first AAR in EUIII?

I think it will be a few months for me. First I will want to come to grips with the game. Also I will want to have my EUII AARs finished first. Depending on how flooded with new AARs the game is might be a factor too.

 

[Snake IV]

Probably not before I am done with everything else I do in AAR way, and I have no idea how long that might take.

 

[unmerged(11366)]

I am planning on finishing my current AAR in summer 2007, but even then I will still wait for EUIII's price to go below US $30. At that point, perhaps, an EUIII AAR. While I wait I might download Crusader Kings from GamersGate and AAR that.

Depends greatly on how hooked I get on the game. If majorly, I could be doing one rather quickly. If not, I may wait. But I will certainly be working on one, and most likely by the summer, regardless of how much or little I like the game.

 

[Rensslaer]

I've already started on 3 short EU III AARs, and am planning for another major one which I'd like to do.

I'll probably start posting as soon as it's released.

this summer, probably late july. discomb and I have an interesting idea for a short (time-wise), but frequently updated, project...

Considering I am honour-bound to finish my HoI II AAR before I start any other, and I already have plans to do a Victoria Prussia AAR, a EU II French AAR, and an Alexander the Great Call to Power AAR, I say I'll start my EU III Northumberland AAR sometimes around.... oh, 2071?

 

[EvilSanta]

I have a great idea for an AAR but I think I am starting it in CK when my current one comes to end. So no EUIII aars for me before summer I am afraid. That is of course positive to you.

 

[unmerged(49083)]

Instantly. It's like going in blindfolded and they have done the knot too hard so you can't undo it. Of my AARs which have been failures, maybe I MIGHT complete this one

 

[Ayeshteni]

Damn you betas

Aye.

 

[GeneralHannibal]

Aye.

You're a Beta?

 

[unmerged(49083)]

Yes.

 

[Ayeshteni]

You're a Beta?

Aye.

 

[unmerged(31558)]

Im already working on my English AAR, the part that doesnt require gameplay.

 

[Kevyinus]

I've nearly finished my EU3 AAR (90%). I am waiting until it wont violate my NDA before I release it .

 

[GeneralHannibal]

Aye.

How did you get to be one. Do they just offer it to forum members who post a lot?

Good lord no - then you would have spammers as betas

If you have good computer skills, skills that show you have research, problem solving, analysis and so on (i.e. University education or a mature outlook) then you have a good advantage - I assume Paradox looks for people they know are going to take the Beta process seriously (i.e. not just getting to play a game early) and will have the time to be able to dedicate to the beta process and at least try and keep that comitment to the release date.

But I suppose being well known (and helpful to newcomers, help with paradox game inquiries and so forth) is as important (I couldn't honestly tell you what Paradox looks for specifically in their Betas). I do know that they take a variety of applications based on their computer specifications so as to be able to test a wide array of computers, graphics cards, processors etc to make sure the game works on them; so if you have a really weird setup that would help too.

Only the God of Thunder and Rock and Roll truly knows what he looks for in his disciples.

I didn't mean post a lot, but more as in are respected members of the forum community who also post a lot, people who've been at the forums for a few years and are mature. People like you, Duke, Stnylan, Catknight, Vincent Julien etc... Also, just wondering, but did they approach you or did you approach them?

 

[likk9922]

I've always wanted to write an AAR...

Maybe after I play a few games, play till it's as natural as breathing :rofl:
