Ye Olde bAAR: Closed

[Director]

Director scoots his chair over to the 'spot' where Storey is scrubbing away.

"Missed a spot there... don't flick that brush at me!"

"I've finally gotten my computer back in order, and I've been playing with EU2 again. I really want to start writing again, but I'm in that awkward, unsettled stage. I've got lots of ideas but no idea how to put them together."

"I've played a few years as different countries but haven't had a game that interested me yet. Naples... well, I'm sure about Naples. Malacca is off to a dull start. Wallachia... no. No money, no army, no manpower, no diplomats, no nothing."


Director waves at Eochaid for a refill. Storey asks for a refill: Eochaid just stares at him and walks off muttering.


"But, since I'm starting work in a few days I feel pressured to pick something. Missed a spot there..."

"Ah, well. I'll just keep fiddling around until something strikes me as interesting."


Eochaid brings out the floor refinishing supplies. Storey looks at him in disbelief.

"Storey - just go catch that damned animal before he gets into the back room and..."

Director is interrupted by a loud crash and screaming curses in Norwegian echoing from the back room.

"...gets into the stock. I'll finish up here, you go catch the critter. Be careful - I'm told they spit like camels."

 

[Amric]

hey, i'm over 1000 posts...cool. By the time The Late Night Liquor Club is over I should be well over 1200. It's gonna be good. I'm playing Genoa, Nalivayko is playing Bohemia, LordLeto is playing Wallachia, and Anibal is playing Naples.

It's our first MP AAR, but those of you who have read our individual stuff and enjoyed it, should really like this one. Those who have read the interaction between me and Nalivayko in my Sweden AAR(see my sig) and his newest AAR(also see my sig) should know that we work well together. Our start is coming...Back story and such is ongoing right now. It is shaping up to be great stuff. Trust me!

 

[Judge]

“Similar to a kangaroo, well then I have to get some red wine” Judge mutters. “I really prefer red wine and especially red wine from the new world when I gobble up a Kangaroo”. “I hope that farting thing will not affect the meat though” he ponders as he starts walking towards his wine cellar. “Hey Amric I guess I will have a nice AAR to read when I wash down the Knogo with some wine from the new world” Judge says.

 

[unmerged(7996)]

looks up from an intense game on the Terminator pinball machine.

*thinks*Judge, Norgs and a drunk Knogo all in the back room? We're talking ultimate wrestling cage match. Wouldn't miss this for the world - even if I don't have an AAR to talk about.

 

[Amric]

Thanks for the booze, Eochaid! I promise not the sharpen anything while I'm here...and I left that book at home. You know the one... It's Back Home In Indiana.....

 

[Alexandru H.]

From under the table, Alexandru shouts

- Keep in character, Indiana Amric. And take your Graal with you!

With this, he stumbles upon the very dead body of another AAR and faints.

 

[Amric]

Indiana Amric....I like it... What AAR body are you talking about?

 

[Alexandru H.]

Mine of course. All mine! He he!

 

[Amric]

Are you suggesting you aren't going to finish your Moldavian AAR? eyes Alexandru speculatively Surely you wouldn't do that to me? I've been expecting updates for like forever.

 

[Judge]

Well Backpack writing an AAR is not required when watching Knogo wrestling but drinking liquor is so you had better bring a couple of bottles with you. Well apart from Knogo wrestling I am up to releasing a new AAR tomorrow. Well in fact it will differ quite a lot from my other AARs and maybe it will be the greatest “love story” ever written on these boards.

“If I will abandon my other AARS?” “Surely you are joking”, “I am not a quitter and I always carry out what I start”. “You hear that Alexandru?”.

“I have a fresh update out in my Tiger of Mysore and later today I will release an update in my Modern Crusade. Moreover I plan to make yet a contribution in Sashas Mat of the Eagle AAR too, well that is if I survive the encounter with the Knogo of course.

“By the way my two characters in Sashas AAR will get the leading roles in my new AAR Judge secretly finishes his small speech. “So you mean the Judge and Miss Hoover then?”.

*Cough* “the Judge seemed to be a ideal character and Miss Hoover is just the thing for the role as femme fatale so yes those are the chosen ones”.

"Gadsby's!" HGI blurts out. "Eochaid, you are one great writer. On the one hand, I am delighted to have you as a guest star in my new AAR--what a great installment you've written!--but on the other hand, I feel kinda unhappy that now that you've written your bit, my writing looks really pitiful in comparison. So...well..."

(starts smiling, then frowning, then smiling, then frowning, and so on and so on until his face muscles are sore)

 

[Amric]

have a drink, old bean...that ought to help relax those tired facial muscles...

 

[unmerged(16363)]

Anibal arrives. He has good news.

People, just to tell you about a fresh update on my AAR. Pedro Álvares Cabral is about to discover Brazil!!

In celebration, he pays a round of beer for everyone.

 

[unmerged(11366)]

Well, The Bloody Fields of Kehl is reaching its climax! Things are really going to get fun soon...

(Please note that the link directs you to today's update; to read Eochaid's special guest appearance scroll up and to see the beginning of the AAR scroll to the top and click page 1, etc., you guys are smart, you can figure it out. )

 

[Judge]

Judge enters the bAAR "A large beer please". After ordering a beer Judge gets a déjà vu feeling. Milk & cookies, milk &cookies are words repeatedly echoing in his mind. Will we ever find out the truth about Mr Ts new job or about LD:s encounter with the waitress. What a loss to mankind if those secrets will never be exposed he reflects while sipping on his beer.

Later after many beers he turns to the other guests. “By the way today I will have the first chapter out in my new AAR about the Teutonic order (see my sig)". "Don’t forget to read it before you start the Friday ceremonies with beer drinking and womanizing". "Cheers"

 

[haaf]

Reaching for the handle of the door, I suddenly realised how long it's been since I last was here, amazing how some things don't change.

One of those things is a big stack of notes on an obscure Manchu experience, another is keep coming back to Holland to try and become rich and mighty with one of the Dutch 'nations'.

As I only have the notes to the first 100 years of Manchu gameplay and no chance in winter to complete it, unless I start all over again, I have no use for those notes.

Having said that, the urge to actually write an AAR about my incompetence or unbelievable amounts of good fortune, has grown to inhumane proportions.

I shall write one, well, venture forward to begin one and finish it too, or at least want to...

Now, all I need is a country, a country which isn't near Austria or France, because getting beaten by them is becoming a rather annoying habit. Though it serves me right trying to kick their butts as Gelre or Bavaria in 1419, or even Spain in a Granada campaign, or vice versa

Having gone through the list of potential clients to ruin their nation, I have it narrowed down to this choice:

-Oman (never played them, so I am still undefeated with them)
-Dai Viet (never lost to China, there has to be a first for everything)

Or any nation which will survive the first 100 years of my rule, so no Orleans or Brabant, I have tried those. I am still considering a Dutch nation, as I basically know what to expect and how to react, then again, that will take the fun out of my game and result in a description about how I survive as the Netherlands.

With this very long train of thought, I actually press the handle down and enter the bAAR, let's see if anyone here is a mind-reader

 

[Amric]

I say you choose Oman

 

[unmerged(16363)]

May Amric's words be mine. I never saw an omani AAR!

It would be quite nice. Remember that you start with two CoT's in the vanilla GC (one in the EEP, so don't play the EEP! ), which gives you a fine start. Go on and crush those sunni infidels!

 

[haaf]

Oh Man, don't let the rain come down on me...

Let no-one say I am not psychic.
Not because I am or anything, but I have already started the Omani campaign. There is no plot, just me ranting.

Each time I scribble an entire page with scribbles I put them into digital ranting. At the rate I rant, this will take some time to complete.

Oh by the way, I prefer 2 Centres of Trade
And it's a lot more stable on my system to play without the EEP.

 

[unmerged(10971)]

Ahh, have a new Novgorod AAR going.

Oh, and I know this is probably a bit of a tall order, but does anyone know where I could find some Novgorod folk music?
