Heeey, that's the best part, don't spoil it or no one will ask us to play their arcs anymore!

Regarding the question of what level toon to play, when Wrong Number started up the North American SG, I created a stalker on Triumph because I had no toons there and ran her up to I think 10th level or so before our first mission. Things didn't get 'better' for her until about 15th I think.

It's easier to stealth a stalker through RWZ obviously, but any toon can make it if you've mastered the art of dodging foes on the open streets, which is a pretty useful skill to develope if you don't already (hint: Ninja Run is useful).

I'd heartily encourage you guys across the pond to start up a group, I've had lots of fun with ours.

You can set a boss in Group Z and set him to 'not autospawn'. Which means he'll only show up when you put in a 'fight a boss' objective. I've only done this once or twice myself so I'm not sure off the top of my head how you set him that way; I know it's done from the group editor though.

FYI, they're expanding the file size come GR; doubling it I think.

Hm, I must have missed that post. I had thought about doing something like that, "I have a character, I want to write one single story with him and you guys can write ANYTHING else and I'll bundle it all up into one anthology arc," more or less. But then I got ideas for all the stories myself so I never posted my suggestion. (And yes I still haven't posted that arc or even done much real work on it, aside from my many handwritten notes. :P I have four arcs in such limbo right now...)

I'd love to see us players try something like this though. For any overall "story" type of arc though, yeah, the main guy behind it would have to drop each "guest author" some sort of time line like this...

PART3: In this part, the player follows the info given from part two to the Arachnos base, takes down the force field generator, and finds War Witch's hat hidden amongst the other crates. The players also finds that crate her hat is in is labeled with Lord Recluse's home address, which will be the site of the next mission.

Sorry that was too good to pass up!

Welcome back anyways.

Seconded. The first is always good advice. The second is a common mistake. The third is very very sad but true. Arcs don't seem to get touched unless you're selling them round the forum and even then not very much, even if they get good comments from reviewers. That's just the way it goes right now. On the other hand, writing arcs is a fun reward in and of themselves.

If you get to pound said narrator into a greasy little spot on the pavement by the end of the arc, I'll be there.

(Also, thanks to Jail_Bird for nominating my arc! I did not expect to see my name come up in this thread... but isn't today one day too late to nominate?)

Yeah.

Because of that thread I now rate everything that an author obviously put in a lot of time on as a five-star experience unless it was really pretty poorly done nevertheless or something - then it gets a four-star. I can recall four-starring an arc that was obviously something of a 'thrown together in five minutes and then abandoned good start' just to encourage the guy to polish it up (I really should go check and see if he ever did). Past that, they get nothing except maybe a /tell.

Farms are going to get their five star ratings, junk is going to clutter up the MA search. Any story that the author at least tried on is worth rewarding. People who put in the most work into MA arcs are the least likely to get anything out of it otherwise.

That's pretty funny!

Mine is pretty simple, there was once a cartoon about it in the player-made paper... thingy... about the game... I can't recall the title right now.

Anyways, I walk right past the local courthouse going to work and they have a plaque set out in front of the building's grounds next to the sidewalk. It looks just like one of the history ones around the game. I think about six months into playing this game one day I happened to walk by it again and suddenly my gamer's sense was tingling, "must...click..."

There are pretty much no good tail options, we have to make-do with what we have or skip it entirely (altho the cat one doubles decently as a rat's tail). I'm really hoping tails get some love sometime soon...
(Sonic jokes begin here)

I can't recall off the top of my head which one it is, but one of the monstrous heads makes a pretty good rodent, I've made a handful of "rat" characters with it. Maybe you should give that a shot.

True of anything. The devil is in the details and execution.

Ok, that I didn't know, thanks. But what I'm really wondering is if anyone actually bothers to slot cones for range unless the IO set "just happens" to have some in it?
