Holy, whoa. I am so not used to forums being this receptive and reactive. I was hardly expecting so much as a peep let alone awards. Thanks!
Congrats G-Force and chaos_Leader. Always great to see a first time winner! Now tell us about yourself.
Not much to tell. I started playing CK2 back in August after hearing about it from my brother. I got the game for myself, and the rest is history, or royally screwed up alternate history as is usually the case.
My nominated ARR, Fuil an Mac Tíre, is actually a kind of a culmination of several play-throughs of CK2 I've hammered at. The goal was to forge a powerful Gaelic/Celtic force out of one of the weakest areas, not just in the CK2 map, but in history as a whole: Ireland. Throughout all of known history, Ireland has pretty much been stepped on and pushed around: first by the Romans, then Vikings, then Normans, then by the English for centuries after. It was really interesting to take little medeval Ireland, and use what little they have to forge a force to be reckoned with, and I wanted to chronicle that ahistorical ascension, especially since it seemed like no one else was doing it at the time.
Anyways, on to business. I was so caught off-guard and unfamiliar with all these extra goodies here that I kind of spaced on what I was supposed to do next.
I nominate
orrmy as WitARR of the week for his ARR:
My First AAR: The Karlings from Bavaria. This is meant for the week of April 19th (or the 26th if I was a little slow, sorry about that).
