Like one big, happy family: A Subsim CK2 Dynasty AAR

Hottentot · 08-13-12, 06:55 AM

Last week I sent calvary greetings to a few fellow Subsim captains, offering them a 100 % risky free chance to take part in a BUSINESS TRANSACTION involving an inherotance from a DECEASED AUNT Mr. Roger Bob they had never heard of. All fee transactions through Western Union please OK.

In all seriousness, I asked them to partake in a Crusader Kings AAR, the folks were interested and here we are. If everything goes well, we should be starting a succession game soon enough, each playing a generation or two, bringing you (un)intentional hilarity in form of different characters and different playstyles so typical to the great game.

To everyone in the old boys club: I hope you are still in, or if you haven't replied to the PM yet, express your interest here. In this thread we can agree on the details more fluently than through PM (thanks for the good idea, Rilder!), and I imagine we can also use the same thread for the eventual AAR itself to save the forum from clutter.

I think it's initially enough if we decide where we play and who starts. So far (in addition to my initial suggestions) only England has been suggested by Oberon, unless I'm suffering from a serious memory malfunction. Is that OK with everyone?
As for the sequence, I can play the first generation, unless someone else wants it. However, let's note that the first characters tend to play quicker than the later generations, so it's probably best to give the early generations to the busy people among us. I have plenty of time (holiday starting soon), so I can take later generations too, but if no one else wants it, I can go first too.

Anything else?

To the rest of the world: there is at the moment handful of us doing this, since contrary to all my expectations, most people I sent that PM to accepted the invitation (and some haven't replied yet.) Therefore it's not exactly an open invitation for everyone with CK 2. However, the more the merrier, so if you are interested, please participate in the thread and let's see where we can fit you in. All I'm asking is, that you consider it for a while before jumping in: this is an AAR, so updating it is up to each individual playing on their turn. Take this extra work into consideration before joining.

And general comments and chitter-chatter is of course as welcome as with any AAR thread.

17.12.2012: Dear diary. My God, we haven't dissolved the whole world or even England yet by accident! In fact, we are already many generations down the road to Absurdstan. Therefore, due to popular request, I'm adding a randomly updated (read: when I'm sober enough) list of our rulers and direct links to the beginning of each one's reign.

1066 - 1084: The Inglorious Reign of Earl Waltheof the Egomaniac

1084 - 1124: A New Dope: Duke Eanfirth I of Deheubarth

1124 - 1166: More Tales From the Dark Depths of England, Volume III. The Reign of Eanfrith II the Relatively Sane

1166 - 1175: Chronicles of Northumbria. Reign of a Northumbrian Duke Sigeweard I 'The Builder' of Deheubarth, son of Eanfirth II

1175 - 1193: The short and boring reign of Duke Andrea I

1193 - 1253: The Blunders of Duke Andrea II the Flamboyant Schemer
