GrinningSpade

Played the CoW and I must say I liked it. Especially the fact that I, a common hero try to do my utmost in those dark horrible days. No glory, no songs will be written, no parades, no speeches, just me and my sorrow, me and my duty, me and that tiny part of the war I fought in.

We got Mothership, Hamidon, Banners, GM's like Lusca and in lesser need Rikti and zombie raids.

Against the idea of making the whole body invisible as we have powers to do that properly. But part of it? Sounds interesting. I think it would give problems with the textures though as those are not designed to use without the other parts.

The mauser has been used in one of the Marvel Comics as well. One old silver age hero who is helping Spiderman out in his old days.

Then there is a comic series from about a western gunfighter http://www.comicstripshop.com/images...4twpIeMOpkV37q

And finally, if it is good enough for Han Solo, then it is good enough for me!

I think that the mauser would make a good addition to the any of the dual pistols set (including the MM)

Can you imagine having to do this one with only training enhancements, temp powers or an extensive array of powers? Say a level 6? For me that arc failed because it was not a TO arc in the first place. AV's do not belong in a lowbie arc.

For a similar reason, I agree with your assesment of Paulas tutorial. I think it is an excellent arc but it is not designed for lowbie play. It is designed for AE Noobs and it does an excellent job there.

Here are my votes for the best multipart arcs.

#1 The Consequences of War Part 1 #227331 and Part 2 #241496 @Dalghryn
This gave me a good ipmpression of the desperation and madness of the Rikti War. I liked it enough to not be upset with the map I absolutely hate. I must admit that I was lucky with the objectives in that one.

#2 The Audition Part 1 #221240 and Part 2 #221241 @MRCaptainMan
Funny arc. Whacky looney tunes humor.

I have to confess that I did not play The Lost Choir #123675, 136959, 141011 @MrSquid. Simply because the arcs contained extreme AV's. And that disqualifies the arc for me. It might be the best story-arc ever but unless those Extreme AV's get downgraded to normal levels I will not know.


But this means that I amj done with the voting. An epic task has ended! But it was worth it, I have enjoyed a lot of the arcs during the voting.

Well who can tell one of these apart form the other? Unless you are one of those factions of course.

I would not mind if this idea was implemented.

I think that there might be less EU woman playing this game compared to US servers (even though that is not my experience) because the American Comics are less popular here then on the other side of the pond. We got a thriving 'comic' industry here but at least for the continentals that consist more of the Belgian, French and for me Dutch comic artists.

The concept Superhero is considered to be one for nerdy little boys with big glasses and pimples. Not very attractive to woman.

This is a broadcast from Loyalist Television.

Emperor Cole: "Have no fear dear citizens, there are no Nemesis plots here. Nemesis, the plague of that sad other dimension died in our beloved country as an old but content man. So so not worry. No Nemesis Plot." Bzzzttt.

This broadcast was sponsored by The Thought Police. Happy thoughts are good thoughts.

Lets endorse this and say please change Serum for anything really. It is a pretty useless power. Anybody here using it? Anybody? Echo....

My votes for the best Epic Arcs:

#1 One Million Eyes #71933 @minimalist
#2 The Most Important Thing #266877 @Aisynia

This category gave me some tough opposition. It even made me change the cossie of one toon. Because when you go to medieval Japan you dress accordingly and you don't bring your own guns.

* Is the final fight too hard? Too easy?

The endboss was a tough fight but with enough inspirations I got him. His damage reduction might be a bit toned down.

* It's meant to be a Miami Vice homage, but are parts of it over the line and into infringement?

I missed the yelled at bit


* Does the writing style I used work? Or is it too weird?

I like alternate writing styles. This worked for me. Only minus is that you rely a lot on us reading the clues (which is the purpose of course) but if you are less religiously reading those, you will miss a good part of the story and why things are happening.

* I place words in the mouth of the player in a few places; is this too much powerposing, or is it OK?

No problem with me.


* Is the ending (final debriefing) satisfying? I found this hard to write, because I like the protagonist to "win", but the heroes "winning" is not in the spirit of Miami Vice.

I liked it.

Besides the 'walk' toggle is a frequently asked suggestion from us. The players. It so happens that BaB managed to do this inbetween his other projects. Those spare minutes where you must wait for someone to make up your mind?

So, he did not create the walk instead of some other animations. He did it while working on those animations.

I think that it is best if this weekend will be the last chance for us to vote. Extending the period won't lure many more players to this event. Plus I feel it is nicer when you canaward everybody simultaneously.

Tested it on females, males and big ones. The walk looks good on each of them. They all move quite different. Great job there.

3 things.
The power comes at level 1 now.

When you activate a weapon before you start walking, the weapon remains in your hand. Which looks cool when you walk nonchalantly with your Tommygun through the streets.

I couldn't resist and tried it on my MM as well. While I walk my pets hop silly after me, but most importantly they behave as badly as ever. Including attacking pasers by who dare look funny at me.

No biggies and I don't mind if it stays this way but just thought I mention it.
