Oh wow, I wasn't expecting that - I only entered to keep the ball rolling :sweating: Many thanks to all who voted, congratulations to Cookie on second, and commiserations to Kilo :happy:
Aha yes, maybe they might meet one day :whistling
Thank you, that's very kind of you to say! I apologize for the lack of updates recently; I do very much wish to continue with this, and I...
Traditionally, one way AARtists have circumvented that is by having their swear words in foreign languages. So if you were writing a Shogun 2 AAR, you would write the Japanese equivalent of whatever...
Yes, I've read it, but beyond 'user groups affect site performance', it is difficult to contextualize the problem. Ideally someone (Hex/Tech Staff) would crunch some numbers and say something like,...
Happy to support in theory, but would prefer to hear it from GED/HEX. I know little about the tech issues, and I'm guessing not many of us do. The running of the forum is a staff issue, so the onus...
Not a terrible idea, it's probably a step in the right direction - if only a small one.
Many thanks all, and congrats to the other winners! :happy:
Edit: it wasn't a siege battle actually, but a naval battle, with water splashing up in between two ships. I may have gone a bit...
Exactly...
Wait, how was this passed and implemented without any editing? I'm kind of speechless.
1. If most Artifex ignore the Curia, shouldn't we work towards making the Curia/Citizenship more attractive and inclusive to people? Maybe ask them why they don't like it and find out what we can do...
As Flinn said, since we have the 501st medals, we kind of already have something for modders who want bling, but don't want citizenship, so I don't see what splitting off Artifex achieves here. I...
Well we've been having this argument - in some form or another - for years now, and I could probably say with some confidence where most Curial regulars broadly stand on these issues. I've given my...
Well I never much liked the automatic suspension thing (which was a vote I missed apparently), but I'm also an advocate for those oft bemoaned higher standards that we seem to have done away with, so...
After looking into it the other day when the issue came up with Akar, the coloured names are attached both to the Patrician class, and to the large awards themselves. Essentially, if you have a large...
Opposed.

Looking back over the Patrician proposal:
So there should be a non-citizen usergroup for Akar to join, either the original loincloth one, or the combined one, if indeed Hex went ahead with...
Wasn't Parafix's ostrakon after the patrician act? My memory isn't what it was :laughter: I don't know if it was an oversight, or if they were meant to retain it; all I'm saying is that there is a...
Aye, thus if Akar can display his name in purple, then nothing untoward has happened. If he can't, then something has gone wrong somewhere. In either case, I don't support the VonC, just interested...
Curiously, Parafix and Ishan - who were both Ostrakoned - still have their names in purple, although can't display the badge. Although I agree with what Iskar and others have said, there is arguably...
I didn't know that about the catapults, that's really interesting! Intrigued to see what happens next, especially with those recruitment restrictions - certainly one of more unique challenges so far...
Osaka
A Shogun 2 AAR by Hitai de Bodemloze
Trouble is afoot in Kyoto, after a grave insult to the Shogun is discovered. In Osaka, the courtiers and retainers of Toyotomi Hideyori scramble to set...
I am serious, I will keep nagging until you update this :laughter: Not having another abandoned McScottish AAR on my watch, it's time to finish a story!
Well the famous Date Masamune finally makes his entrance! And with that, most of the major players are now on the board, at last. Still two somewhat important characters who will show up later in the...

“What about her? She looks nice.”
Katakura Shigenaga...
What substance is this? All we have so far is:
Four citizen referrals, of which two were dismissed, and the other two resulting in a brief suspension
A vague number of infractions, without...
Not a great entry, but gotta keep things moving along. Will probably come back and edit this chapter a fair bit when I have time.

Thank you both! Glad to hear you're enjoying it :happy:
Aha yes, sorry I'm a bit behind! I took a bit of a break over Christmas and New Years, but I should get back to things. Will do this...
Is there a reason why six entries is considered a full competition? I mean, I've been here a long time, and I don't know/can't remember why that's even a thing. Maybe we should just run the...
SK returns, its a Christmas miracle! :D Welcome back old friend; I'll endeavor to get all caught up with this in the new year :happy:

Indeed, especially so with the serialized nature of AARs. I like to try and strike a balance between planning and writing in advance, and leaving space for the story and characters to grow and evolve...

“Nisuke!”
Don't keep us waiting too long now, or I'll start nagging even more :surprise:
Will the MAARC vote go up after the Yearly Awards?
Good stuff! Although without Benadicto around it sounds like you're going to struggle getting the old priest and young priest you're going to need for that daughter of yours..
Sorry we're a week late! I had really wanted to get this up last weekend, but life's been a little busier than I had anticipated as of late. Still, I had a lot of fun writing this chapter (even...
