Thank you both! That's very kind of you :happy: Screenshots have definitely been something I've given an increasing amount of thought to as my AAR 'career' has continued, and I'm glad my efforts have...

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

“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...

A great start :happy: I like Aurelian's initial characterisation, the mix of weariness and impotent anger comes off well, reflecting the rather bleak situation they've seemingly found themselves in....

Thank you :happy: Indeed, it's a theme I often play upon - probably because it hits close to home for me as well. There's a wonderful scene in the sitcom How I Met Your Mother that I always draw a...
