Happy new year everybody! :D With the new year, it's that time again; another quarter has come to an end! This is an exciting time for the ACA's, with the first time inclusion of our new First Ladyy; Victoria 3!

Yes. It is now time for the Q4 2022 ACAs!

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 October 1st, 2022 and December 31st,, 2022 (inclusive). In other words, this ACA will cover Q4 2022.

Voting will start now and end in about five weeks, at 20.00 CET Sunday February 5th, 2022.

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

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

and up to four additional games in the "Other" category, which includes all other Paradox Development Studio 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 February 5th, 2022.

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

- Nikolai, host of the ACAs

Phew!! What a lovely stroll down AARland lane. All works above are listed in alpha order by author and in many instances, there were some tough choices. As ever there is no lack of talent at this place and we are blessed to have so many great writAARs!

I hope those that choose to vote here also look to the full year in the Year-end awAARds. Both of these endeavors hope to give back to what we get every day here in AARland. A way to reward and appreciate all of the excellent work we get for free. Well done all!

15 voters now! And I'll allow all the way through the 5th of February to get 5 more (or extra to that.) I want to see at least 20 voters so let us see some last minute voices. I can tell you that some races are tight and others are pretty much runaways (in fact, one that seemed a runaway is now a very tight race!) Every single vote matters and the more we have the better and more accurate the results. With five days left (including this one) I believe we can hit that mark. So come on AARland, let's get those votes in and support so many of the great writAARs and AARs that we all love. Vote, vote, vote and let's get to at least 20! :)

[To add - I have been tabulating as we go, so if anyone decides to change their vote, which is perfectly fine, please let me know either in this thread or via PM. I thank you.]

This is my thread my friend, I am afraid you're tabulating the wrong data. :)

Yeah I know. Not the best time to be Nikolai, as told in the previous ACA thread. But I am looking at it now actually.

Update for those who might wonder. I am still not well as like last quarter, so I'm working slower. In the middle of a long process that might end in disability. So I haven't had the energy to do the counting yet. But also @coz1 is doing his amazing yaya posting now, so I figured I should not rush it. :)
