    Default My TWC life .(Living to inspire)

    Let me tell you a tale.Like many other tales that i like to spin this one is strange,fast and action packed.

    There was this guy who was just finishing his MBA degree and the year was January 2010.He had brought a brand new Medival2 from a local store.In those days Steam was not there.
    So our guy played all the factions and managed to get atleast limited success in all of them.Then one fine day he was playing his last faction.The Hungarians.He had an empire that strecthed from Venice to Crimean.But alas,suddenly his king died replaced by a 19 year old incompetant ruler.Our man was anghast.Then Crimea rebelled and a huge doomstack of Venetians came up from Ragusa to take back Venice.Then from another direction a crusader army of Poles and another army of the Kaiser of the HRE came inside his border.
    Completely struck,our charcter went to Google and typed 'How to play as Hungary,med2' .
    The reply from google was strange because google told him how to play as Byzantines .
    The first search was 'Plight of the Byzantines' written by General Tony(http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...the-Byzantines).
    He began to read and was fascinated by it.Soon he finsiehd the odd two paragraphs but at that time those two paragraphs looked to him as the trailer of some novel.
    And then he saw up.There was a link to a place called Med2 aar's.
    He clicked and then he came up to this section of wonderfull tales.
    He read one,then another,then another till he quit playing games every evening and started reading wonderfull aar's.
    Then one day in some story,somebody posted a link to a place called Thema Devia and VV.He clicked first on Thema Devia and that didnt interest him much.VV instead was once again dazzaling.It contained unheard historical facts,strange games and constrcutive critiscism of Historical novels.It was wonderfull.For 6 years from 2009-2015 our guy didnt know that TWC existed apart from Thema Devia,VV or med2 aar's.Then in 2014 he checked out ETW.It was the best game for him and he still thinks its the best Total war game.Somebody had mentioned that a writer was also writing ETW aar's along with the Med2 that our man was currently reading.
    So our man went to the ETW forums.He read a nice Venice aar .That was epic.Then a haitian aar .Then a swedish one.Our man was now interested.Always having atleast got a consolation prize in any writing competition throughout his pre 18 life,he decided to try it for himself.
    So he decided to open an account.
    But hey,he suddenly remembered he worked in the US army as a defence engineer.He is the kind of guy who wears black suits and sunglasses.But rather than being a supercool crime killer he is a general paid slave.He isnt allowed to directly interact with social networking sites including forums like TWC.So he used an alternate yahoo account and decided to write his own aar.

    What name would he choose???

    Chapter 2 .(Yup,my blog have chapters too).Hope you mods have no problem.

    Then he had an idea.Unlike what many think,the name 'mad orc' isnt related to fantasy but to history.When the mongols first began to appear over the horizon the common European peasant must have though 'Oh,gosh,these are not men,they are demons,orcs'.Being a lover of Mongols and Asian history in general,he decided to adopt the name 'mad orc'.The starting 'm' was supposed to be capital but alas,he couldnt change it.So the name struck.
    His first try with an aar was an ETW Papal states game which had gone pretty good.

    (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...-papal-control)

    It was given a grand name.'Rebirth of Papal control'.It was a very badly written piece and only Alwyn's constant encouraging comments saved him from quitting.

    Some time after he completed it he wrote a Persia aar.Now time for confession,he never actually played the game,he just wrote a random piece of creative writing.
    (http://www.twcenter.net/forums/showt...war-persia-aar)
    Thanks to the tips given by Alwyn and Calliagh and TSK,it turned out to be better than the last one.
    But he completed the new aar quickly too.In those days,he did not like writing long stories,he was a mini or micro story writer.A not so good one at that.
    But having completed it,his confidence was at its nadir and he decided to write another,this time slightly different.


    To be continued..........
