The game goes on. I had to decide between the game and the aar...wasn't really a choice because without the game the aar would not go on anyway...so...that's all.

Thanks Jonathan and Jim. Really appreciate.

But hey, i won't go away eh!? I'm always here and so without the aar i'll have more time to partecipate to your AARs...so there's something good even in the bad[:)]



why do you stop the AAR if the game goes on? Have I missed something? [&:]


My guess is Troll related issues!!!

Hmm. Wtf? What kind of bs is this from Trollelite?

Has his gamey ego been hurt too much because you have pretty much honestly reported what has been going on?

Just can not understand his atttitude towards the game! [&:][:@]

Sorry for the rant but is he really worth to play againts? If he makes you choose whether you are doing an closed AAR or not? Seems to me that he has been lurking here otherwise it would not make any diffrence whether you keep updating this AAR or not?

Pretty obvious to me... good luck with him. I bet he will bail out sooner than later.

Oh, and thanks for this great AAR.

GH, first of all thanks for the effort you put into this AAR - it was a great read and a proof of what a gentleman you are as an opponent.

As to Aztez's rant, specifically

Just can not understand his atttitude towards the game! [&:][:@]

In some thread (this one ?) Nemo analyzed his strategy and came up with the result that his strategic approach is sound.

Looks like this is true here as well. He has found a way to get back at us, who kept complaining and ranting in this AAR about his style of play. He shuts us off... and there's nothing we can really do against it...

It is a pity.

Guys
 
No matter what we feel about the prat, Nico (GH) has always asked us to refrain from dissing Troll in here. Whatever the reason for the ending of the AAR, and im sure we all have a theory, lets respect Nico's wishes and find a new AAR to read and follow. It will be interesting if Troll's game with Nemo goes ahead and if that AAR goes ahead as well

Yeah Cantona but we need something like an explanation of what is happening. Hoppy, you won't get me signing the divorce papers so easily, I want to know why this story can't go on!

Then I would have to haunt Cantona's AAR, and you can bet he doesn't want that to happen [:D]

A pity that this AAR will not be continued GH. As others mentioned it was a 'must read' right from the start. So thank you for the time and the effort you put into this for so many weeks. I hope your game will continue to be as thrilling and fun to play as it was to read your AAR.

And of course nobody would mind an update or a few words how it is going every once in a while. [;)]

Adding one voice to the chorus, I too will be disappointed not to read the detyails of your game with Trollelite. I was disapponited when he discontinued his AAR, and now I may fall in to a deep depression without yours.

I do not believe that "No AARs" was a house rule on which GHop agreed at the beginning. If the termination of this AAR comes at TE's request, GHop should negotiate it in return for the cancellation of certain house rules.

If this does come at TE's request, it'd be interesting to know why. Surely he has nothing to complain about regarding this AAR, since TE has agreed not to read the content of this AAR.

Howdy GH,

I will echo the others in my disappointment that this AAR is not continuing. I am a lurker for the most part on these forums. This was one of a about 4 AARs which I considered must read as well. Good luck in the game. I don't know if you can give quarterly updates or such. Maybe drop in and let us know if Karachi fell or something.

Anyway, best of luck!

As a longtime lurker in this forum, I have to chime in with the others;

1/ This is the one AAR that was a 'must read' every day of the week.
2/ GH, I admire your sense of fair play in the face of adversity.

Good luck with your continuing game, I hope you trounce him soundly!

What a great shame.

I do feel we are owed an explanation from whoever (and I have my suspicions) has caused this to end.

It looks to me like GH was given an ultimatum and a 'gagging order'. Assumption, unless otherwise clarified by fact is that only a moderator (unlikely) or GH's opponent could have the firepower to do this.

In that case the assumption must be that either someone has been telling GH's opponent a selective smattering of the AAR - or that GH's opponent has been looking and didn't like what he saw.

Whatever the explanation I think we are all owed a comment - and not from GH as he's obviously in a very difficult situation.

Of course we could just ask GH to continue writing the AAR but not actually publish it until the war is over?

Hmmmmm

I'm annoyed.

So I will be watching any other AARs involving this gentleman to see if they are also discontinued.

Yes, the loss of this thread is a blow for the community!

I must admit, I posted here once, maybe twice, but the amount of information was astonishing, coming from many top commanders over here.

This AAR was a great learning experience for me along with being highly entertaining. Thanks for your time GH! Very, very sad to see this end...

Every day I checked to see the latest post about the "war". I have learned more from this thread than any other I have seen. It was great in the beginning to have both yours and Trollelite's AAR, it was interesting and I was disappointed that Trollelite decided against continuing his, since I was learning and enjoying both.
I would like to thank you for your time spent providing us with your posts. I suffered a severe injury and was unable to do anything other than watch TV and use the computer for 4 months; your posts helped alleviate the situation and I am especially grateful for that. THANK YOU
