Default Re: AAR wanted for possible site publication

Aye, and it usually takes (a lot) more than two weeks to play a normal MP game. Blitz games can be done quicker, but aren't the norm. I suspect they'd make for a somewhat irregular AAR, although not neccesarily an uninteresting one.

Another problem is that, given the length and complexity of an MP Dom2 game, some organization is probably needed to get it all the pieces together. Most MP games currently going were started before your announcement and thus the early stages were already a bit inaaccessable in terms of complete recording.

If you are still interested, possibly an MP game could be set-up specifically to be AAR fodder? The participants could e-mail a summary of each turn to a party trusted not to leak private info/plans to others, and then that data could be compiled later into a cohesive AAR.

Your typical PBEM-grade MP game takes weeks to finish. A blitz/marathon, on the other hand, is much too frenzied and by the end of the game, most of the players can't remember what happened on Turn X anyway.

Although I understand why a MP AAR would be quite good. The SP ones tweaked the interest for me - particularly Arryns fine Jort one - as a MP player I could see how the game would be amazing in MP.

I'd use that one personally
