October has come, and with it the cold, wet embrace of Autumn has gripped us all.

Do not worry though, for there are lights in the tunnel, and it might not be a train!

What a joy, YOU can vote for YOUR favorite AARs in the Q3 2024 ACAs! For the new here, that is AARland Choice Awards!

The ACAs are as before hosted under the supervision of me, your friendly AAR fan Nikolai.

This time around you can vote for any AAR that had an update between July 1st, 2024 and September 30th,, 2024 (inclusive). In other words, this ACA will cover Q3 2024.

Voting will start now and end in slightly less than five weeks, at 20.00 CET Sunday November 3rd, 2024.

You may nominate up to four AARs for each of the following games:

Crusader Kings II
Crusader Kings III
Europa Universalis IV
Victoria II and 3
Hearts of Iron IV
Stellaris

and up to four additional games in the "Other" category, which includes all other Paradox games not mentioned above.

Kindly use the following format:

[Name of game/"other"]
1. AAR name, author, URL
2. AAR name, author, URL
3. AAR name, author, URL
4. AAR name, author, URL

If an URL has already been posted once, there is no need to put it up again.

The deadline for voting is 20.00 CET Sunday November 3rd, 2024.

With that said, it is now time for the voting to begin!

- Nikolai, host of the ACAs

Apologies @Nikolai as I have been away from the forum (although posting here and there during this quarter) so I will likely need until the deadline to post a full ballot. I have many bookmarks to catch up on now.

Thanks to folks who have already posted one of my AARs on their ballots. Very much appreciated. I promise to cast a vote and to promote the awards for the next month or so as the deadline approaches.

@son of liberty in the response message formatting menu (like where I'm writing this now) the 4th icon across the top is a link image (between the three dots and the image insert icon). That's the button you click to put a link in - link text and link URL).

What can I say? You’re a very prolific authAAR.

During this past quarter, I managed to update one of my three active AARs. Although I did post several chapters in Omentide, during that same timeframe you posted multiple updates in all four of your stories above, and probably even more that I may have missed!
