    The Writers' Study Presents:
    MAARC LXXXI


    Voting

    You have TWO votes. You must use both votes; you need to cast them both at the same time.

    If you use the wrong number of votes, please send a private message to the competition organiser before voting ends,
    indicating which submissions you wanted to vote for.

    If you use the wrong number of votes and do not contact the organiser before voting ends, then none of your votes will count.





    Advertising

    Advertising of the competition is allowed. Inviting people to vote for their favourite AAR 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

    Submission 1 The Last Chariots of the Tarquins

    An ancient warning contained in the Sibylline Books. Two brothers, each of rival houses, forged together by a secret oath. A cursed chariot belonging to the last king of Rome...

    Three centuries ago, the mighty chariot warriors of Etruria drove the Gauls back beyond the Alps. Now, led by their king Brennus, they have returned. Remembering their defeat, the Gauls have spent hundreds of years becoming the greatest masters of chariot warfare the world has ever seen, while the Etruscans have let its knowledge slip into myth. With no one to stop them, the Gallic Whirlwind will sweep through Italy. Only one city stands against them: Tarchuna, the Etruscan birthplace of the Roman Kings. The Last Chariots of the Tarquins is an epic and tragic tale, spanning decades and chronicling the last hour of Etruscan glory, the first sack and re-founding of Rome, and the rise of the Republic that will inherit the world. It's a story of love, revenge, divided loyalties, betrayal, and hubris as Avle Spurinna--the half-Roman leader of Tarchuna and direct descendent of Tarquin the Proud--seemingly haunted his entire life by the avenging shade of his tyrannical ancestor, will defy fate in his attempt to save his people from their foretold doom. The Last Chariots of the Tarquins reminds us that the mounts of ambition slip their reins easily and that the wheels of fortune must always be oiled by blood...


    Submission 2 To earn a Kingdom

    To earn a Kingdom is the tale about the famous hero Aragorn and his quest to become both king of Arnor and Gondor. The war in the North is over and our heroes set out on a even more perilous quest to save Middle-Earth. The forces of Arnor have surprised the Dark Lord with their arrival in Ithilien and now march on the Black Gate to challenge Sauron's impressive might. Sauron has not risen to Arnor's challenge and thus Aragorn prepares to make an even more daring move. To assault the Black Gate itself and force his way into the Black Land.


    Submission 3 The Papers of King Alfonso

    The papers from an Islamic scholar found by the Napoleonic French army in Valencia and relating to King Alfonso's reconquest of the Iberian peninsula.



    Best of luck to all the entrants!

    Three great AARs, good luck everyone!

    (As Swaeft said, please use both of your two votes, or PM the competition organiser with your second vote if you accidentally vote once.)

    I'm pretty sure that AAR beginning with 'T' will win.

    Good luck, y'all!

    G*Damnit. I have my next update basically all done, and just wanted to do some polishing today before posting, so that I could enter this MAARC. Now I have to pop off two more updates in quick succession to get into the next one. I will start getting things moving more quickly again though, and come back to these competitions! At any rate, I too have voted.

    Split your update in two, and problem solved!

    Uggh. This is why I kept bugging you to get that second update posted. Yeah, your posts are always more polished than mine, but the perfect is the enemy of the good, dude.



    It was all part of my strategy of getting you in the contest so I could come in second:

But if you come in second in every competition, you never have to sit out and can thus win thirty six points.

    Clearly second is better. (As Buzz Aldrin would say.)


    But luckily the competition this time, though it be few in number, is fierce. So I may still get my wish for coming in second. (Or even..gulp...third.)

    Now with that said, I need to catch up on the two others so I can vote.

    Maybe it is just making it if you were to consider the recovery time needed after the St. Patty's day celebrations!
