This is the submission/nomination thread for MAARC LXXXII!
Eligibility
Two updates are needed since March 10, 2019.
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.
'Derc Plays Through History', the image heavy, british-humoured AAR, returns once again, linking alternate historical times and reality together by playing the Medieval II Kingdom's Britannia Campaign during the time of Brexit.
The fate of Britannia will now be decided! In this universe and the other!

Don't worry Derc, I'm here to challenge you!
Anyway, it's good to have updates coming along more regularly again, and to be able to join in these competitions once more! Here are the details:
Author's Name:Kilo11 Title:Written in Sand Description: Alexander's armies broke the might of the East, but the greed of Greek hearts could not be contained, and with Alexander's death his empire was consumed by rivalry and ambition. As the western invaders worry one another in their long-standing feuds a new power is rising, a power born of the sands and hot expanse of the desert. Out of Rekem (Petra) the Nabati are rallying. They will unite the tribes of Arabia and lead them in a final stand against the arrogant Greeks who dare to call themselves "master". They will show them the price of tyranny.
(Current state of the AAR: The Nabati are marching ever southward toward the lands of Saba'. There, they will subjugate the final pocket of resistance to a unified Arabia. However, on the high plateau there is strife already, for the tribal rivalries have erupted into a quiet and dark conflict. It is carried out in the dead of night, by spies and saboteurs, but it bleeds the land nonetheless, and none are safe from its reach.)
Game Used: Medieval 2 Mod(s) Used:Europa Barbarorum II Faction: Malkuta Ha'Nabati (Nabataeans)

Consider that two bums Derc, for I have once more joined the fray to bang my head against the impregnable walls of the MAARC!
Author: Turkafinwë Title:To earn a Kingdom Latest Chapter: Chapter XI: Gandalf's Query Game: Medieval II total war Mods: Third age total war and Divide and Conquer V2.1 Faction: Northern Dúnedain Description/teaser: 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. King Aragorn Elessar raises his challenge and aims to directly assault his way into Mordor. Meanwhile back in Arnor, his son Eldarion acts as Prince-Regent dealing with the governance of the Kingdom in the King's absence. Settling minor disputes and ruling isn't as enjoyable as it's believed to be, certainly not for Eldarion. Though things are sure to change with the appearance of an old friend. Changes that might decide the fate of all of Middle-Earth.
A mage of a once revered order seeks to fulfill the wishes of his ancestors and reclaim lost glory in the form of a powerful artefact. But Skyrim is in chaos with the civil war, the political landscape is close to erupting, and the damned Thalmor and their evil mages lurk around every corner. What seems to be simple quest may turn out to be a series of actions shackled to the fate of Skyrim and perhaps...all of Nirn.
