    This arc is well-written and makes good use of dialog and clues. I really enjoyed the details and some small bits of humor mixed in.

    If you are looking for a well-crafted arc that is fun to play, this is a great choice.

    This arc was well-written and had a good story that kept my interest all the way through. It was challenging in parts, but lots of fun. I especially loved the bios on the customs.

    This arc was very well written and creative. It had a good story that kept my interest and a play level that didn't detract from my ability to enjoy it.

    What I liked best was small bits of humor and references to things outside the arc.
    This is another really good holiday themed arc from Venture!

    This is one of the best arcs I have played. I really love it and it would have been in this thread a long time ago if it had not been rated 5 stars and on page three. I was shocked to see that it had fallen to 4 stars.

    I am not a fan of war movies, war books or in general war related arcs, so for me to love this, is a trubute to how great it is. It is well written and touching, for me a must play!

    I really loved this arc because it managed to touch me and make me laugh all at the same time. It was true to life, in that things are not always black and white. It has a really good story and the gameplay was perfect for me. I was never annoyed or frustrated.

    This was my second time playing the arc, and this time I noticed humor in both the dialog and the NPC names that I missed the first time and that I really enjoyed. This is a great arc to play this holiday season!

    This is yet another arc that I played this arc because it was nominated for the 2010 Player's Choice awards.

    It was very well written and full of detail. It had lots of dialog and clues and though it was long, it kept my interest througout. This arc was nominated for the customs, but I am very glad I played it for the story.

    I played this arc because it was nominated for the 2010 Player's Choice awards and I am very glad that I played this arc as well.

    It is very creative and I really enjoyed it. It creates a mystery that you solve in a one mission, one map arc. If you are looking to play a story arc but don't have a lot of time, this arc is a great choice.

    This arc is a timed challenge arc. It was creative and fun and no I didn't beat it yet, but I plan to replay it until I do. If you are looking to challenge yourself with 15 minutes of fun, this arc is a great choice.

    @Clave Dark 5

    I played this arc because it was nominated for the 2010 Player's Choice awards and I am so glad that I did.

    It is very creative, filled with details and a lot of fun to play. For me it was the perfect level of difficulty and I loved the map choices. I was not bored for a single minute. I recommend this arc to anyone who is looking for fun!
  15. This arc was the first story arc that I created. The arc in it's original form was written to be fun and for most people it was, but it had many flaws. I feel it is vastly improved because of all the great feedback that I received from people on this message board.

    I was very happy to see that this arc was nominated for the Player's Choice awards. That meant a lot to me. The other arcs in the same category are really incredible and so I truly mean the cliche that it is an honor to be nominated and I hope that the nomination will result in some plays and feedback.

    If any of you have not played this arc since I changed the contact to Mendor Wells, you will find that the arc is very different, and if you have time I would love feedback on this new version. Below is the arc info:

    In Pursuit of Liberty
    Arc ID: 344916
    Keywords: Solo Friendly, Custom Characters, Canon Related
    Morality: Heroic
    Level range: 45-54
    Warnings: Do not let the warnings scare you. They are in a large part due to allies. I would recommend break frees if you can be held, but the arc is very solo friendly.

    Work with H. G. Wells to turn a willful young child into a hero. Travel through time, fight evil villains, solve a mystery but most of all, have fun! This arc is a modern fairytale spanning nine years in the life of Liberty Rose Jones. Help her find her destiny and in the process, find yours!

    As always, any feedback would be greatly appreciated!

    Picked this one a couple of weeks ago from the announcement thread. Funny and nice story involving time travel.
    I played "Of Futures Past".

    This arc was well written and very well crafted. It is full of details and makes excellent use of mechanics. I love that the Nagans appeared in the arc to tie in to the author's other arcs. This is an MA author who never disappoints me. I highly recommed playing this arc.

    Thanks to Sente_ for recommending it.

    I really enjoyed your other arc, and I will be happy to add this one to the list if you either recommend someone else's arc to add, or play an arc already in the list and post something you liked about it in this thread.

    See the first post in the thread for full details.

    Thanks for posting and I look forward to trying this arc.
