• We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
Congratulations @StrategyGameEnthusiast!

Also: I have revised the Initial Post to make the rules for passing this on more clear.

The previous rules did NOT actually say there should be a 6 month gap between awards. So I basically said 6 months should be a guideline, but can be allowed to slip (as it has in this case, but it's still almost 5 months, so...).

This is StrategyGameEnthusiast's 2nd award in 2024, which speaks well for our active commenter! Thank you!

Thanks everyone for the second nomination of the year. I'm very tired at the minute, and I just woke up from a heat-induced nap (my bedroom is usually much warmer than the rest of the house, so it can sometimes be too hot for me to handle when the heating is on). I plan on going to sleep once I finish responding to all the notifications I have, so I'll make a list of the AARs I'm following in the morning.

Thanks again, now that I'm awake I'll make a list of the AARs I'm following. I'm still following any AAR I mentioned the last time that is still active.

The new AARs I have been following since then are:
The Leading Spirits (the Victoria 3 portion of @Revan86's megacampaign)
A whole bunch of CK3 AARs - Blood of the North; Six Hundred Years of History - From 867 to 1453 with (Almost) Historical Characters; The English Exile; Legatum Gentis Gothorum; The Red Heart of Europe; The Sword of Virtanen; Dreams of House Batatzes; The Legacy of Eadmund; Taurica Part II.
In CK2, most of the AARs I follow are my own, but these are ones by other authAARs I follow: History of Mazovia and its people - Part I: First Steps (867-1410); Road of Queens; Siberian Prosperity; The Sunset from the West.
In EU4, the AARs I've followed since my last nomination are: The lost tribe of Asher: Humble Origins + Idea Guys run; New Era, Old Gods; True Tsar, Triple Faith: Triple the Rome as Orthodox (1.37); Jak's Game Guide; Growing Tall: Minor to Great Power adding just 1 province per decade.
In Stellaris: Mandate of Heaven; Dreams of a Better Future - Tales of the Roccan Resistance; Unsung Paragons of the Forgotten War.
In HOI4: The Patriots; American Caesar; The Empire Strikes Back - Part 4; Imperial Cheese Part 2: The Historical Run; Destiny! Destiny! No Escaping That For Me! - The Historical Sweden Challenge.
Finally, in Imperator: Ex Roma ad Stellas; Rise of Albion; Germanic Steel, part 1: The Great Migrations; Dreams of Ptolemaios.

Also, apparently there is this awAARd called the YAYAs that is currently taking voting. I haven't yet (the voting doesn't close until the New Year) but intend to around Christmas, probably using this post and the previous one I did about AARs I'm following to help fill out the ballot. (For my own memory, the pages are 629 and 618)

Finally, I need to finish watching some YouTube videos I had queued up before I went to sleep, then I can get back to my AARs. House Uí Seid shall return soon!

It's time to pass on the awAARd. After checking the list of past winners for the candidates I had in mind, I found someone who last won over a year ago. Your newest Fan of the Week is:

@El Pip!

Congratulations!

Again, clearly an oversight to not honor @El Pip in a year's time. One of the forum's great commenters!

His postcount is nearing 10,000, and while a good portion of that may be The Butterfly Effect, a single thread is unlikely to contain even 1,000 posts by the author.

Sincerely, thank you for all your posts in my AARs over many years! Even if the snark can be turned up pretty high! :D
