This is the submission/nomination thread for MAARC LXXIX!
Eligibility
Two updates are needed since December 1, 2018.
Only one entry per person.
Please note that entries with more than one author are considered to be entries for all the co-authors.
If one of the co-authors of a submission wants to submit an AAR they have written individually, they may do so,
but WS staff will withdraw the co-authored AAR from the competition if this happens.
The first place winner in the previous competition cannot enter this one.
Only work that is posted on TWC is eligible to enter.
Writers' Study Staff have discretion to disqualify nominations where it would be unfair to allow them to enter, for example in cases of plagiarism.
If you have a question or want to check whether an entry is eligible, please send a private message to a member of the Writers' Study Staff.
Advertising
Advertising the competition is allowed. Inviting people to submit their writing is okay.
Asking for votes for a particular submission is not allowed and will result in disqualification.
Breaking the rules will result in measures at the discretion of the Writers' Study Staff.
Submissions
Authors are encouraged to submit their own work.
To enter, post on this thread with all of the following information:
the author's name
the title (with a link to the thread)
a short description/teaser
the game(s) used
details (if applicable) of mod(s) used
details (if applicable) of faction
If you want to nominate someone else's AAR, you must ask for (and obtain) their permission before posting the nomination.
Voting
Six entries are needed to run a regular competition.
If, after a month, we have fewer than six entries, then we wait until there are three or more submissions.
Awards
4 points for the Winner
3 points for Second Place
2 points for Third Place
If the competition has fewer than six entries, then first place will receive three points and second place will receive two.
Where a co-authored AAR wins Writers' Study Competition points, those points will be divided between all the co-authors equally. If that division results in each author receiving a fraction of a point, then each author will receive no points for a fraction less than one-half, or 1 point for a fraction of one-half or more.
For instance, if 3 points are divided between 2 authors, dividing the points equally gives each author one and a half points. The half is rounded up, so each author actually receives 2 points.
Points are accumulated towards the awarding of the Writers' Study Competition Medals.

Title: God's Justice
Description: The royal family is being targeted, the castles and cities of the Kingdom of Jerusalem are under threat, and the Saracens are as fearsome as ever. Good, hardened soldiers are as hard to find as allies, and the Kingdom is desperately short on men. A young prince, having just come of age, has to meander and find his way through various trials and tribulations in the timeless sands of the Holy Land.
Game: Medieval 2 Total War
Mods: Stainless Steel 6.4
Faction: The Crusader States
Come on Turkafinwe, we butted heads in the third place tie breaker, let's do it again! *Lowers voice* and quickly, while the better AARs are out of the running!
A postmodernist take on reality. The current one also deals with Alexanders apostrophic demise, and what happens when an alcoholic drinks water. Warning! Rated R for old graphics.
Medieval Total War, Alexander Total War

Title: An Orcs Tale Game: Medieval II Total War.
Mod: Third Age with MOS submod and personal modifications.
Faction: Mordor (infantry-heavy but without cavalry and with mediocre archers).
Summary: Now completed, this is the bloody tale of the orc chieftain Malthur and his loyal and faithful, or not, service to the great eye. Cosy fires for everyone. Follow the orcs career and the events of Mordors warring against the human scoundrels in the neighbourhood.

Author:Skotos of Sinope Title:The Last Chariots of the Tarquins Description: The AAR includes beautiful images, but is primarily a prose-based accounting of the journeys of Arnth and Avle, Etruscan brothers caught between the Gallic hordes and the ever-hungry hearts of the Ramnenses (Romans). Their journeys include the perils of blade and bow, but of hunger and thirst as well, of sickness and exhaustion, and the caprices of duplicitous politicians as well. It is a tragedy and it is an adventure, but most of all, The Last Chariots of the Tarquins is an experience, and one not to be missed. Game: Rome II, Rise of the Republic DLC Mods: GEM; Extended Particles, Skotos' Etruscan Chariot Generals Mod Faction: Tarchuna
