[Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: STOP!
[Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: WAIT ONE SECOND!
[Admin] Emperor Marcus Cole: WHAT IS A SEAGULL DOING ON MY THRONE!?!?

Lights... Camera... MAYHEM was insanely funny and very fun to play.

I'll have to attempt the others.

"City of Heroes. April 27, 2004 - August 31, 2012. Obliterated not with a weapon of mass destruction, not by an all-powerful supervillain... but by a cold-hearted and cowardly corporate suck-up."

I would but I'm still waiting for the test server update to download. I haven't gotten a long enough idle-computer window for the 5 hours it will take. :P

. . . and now that I have, that story is no longer available anywhere that I can find.

Yeah, "Lights... Camera... MAYHEM!" got borked during the latest patch, and thanks to Dev's Choice arcs no longer being editable by players, I can't fix the damn thing.

So instead, you must content yourself with my two arcs "Positron Gets Some!" and "Dyne of the Times." Both can be found by searching for @Samuraiko.

Unfortunately, I think "Dyne of the Times" has a problem, unless it was your actual intention to have a room full of Doc Cyber elite bosses, in addition to getting a patrol spawn consisting of 4 Doc Cyber elite bosses, when playing two characters in the storyline on the lowest difficulty setting. The other one was fun and easily soloable with my wife's defender.

Also meant to ask what happened to the arc "Hell Hath No Fury" that you mentioned above. Never saw it either.

Are you hoping to re-do the borked arc, or could you just tell the plot, for those of us who missed it?

Another unsuspecting reader, me, is now hopelessly addicted to your story. Keep up the good writing. I love it!

Chained: I took down HHNF because a lot of stuff got messed up from the patches and so I need to work on it.

Agent_7734: welcome to the madhouse. I'm glad you're enjoying it so far!

So, no response to my observation about the elite bosses. Hmm.

I've played through the arc twice since then, on two different difficulty settings. Was not able to duplicate your error. I've checked all my settings.

Ugh! Well, I don't know then. Must be some rare glitch. Sure was sad though watching first my tanker, then the ally, and finally my wife's defender get slaughtered with no chance of beating them.

happy late birthday and the answer should be 50 so you can sell them some anti aging cream and you can become rich.

That was cruel, DR. I saw a new post in the main thread and was ready for another chilling read but it was a post about your cool MA missions - which I loved, by the way.

I need more story!

Agreed on all accounts... my inner fanboy kicked in when I saw the post. It was then doused by the smallest part of my inner-self. The emokid. Followed by this riveting post about what happened over the past 30 seconds of my life.

Continue w/ the much needed once a month story updates, keep up the good work, your writing is awesome, etc...

---

speaking of Dark's Arcs the Positron was fun to play. I took some of my SG mates along and when i told them about the story aftewards they all wanted to read it.

---

Right, so now I have finally managed to chew my way through the story so far, and then this thread.

Couple of items:
1. Love the story!
2. How many of the characters from Star Patrol are actual characters in game?
3. Love the story!
4. Is Sorina Tavarisch your character in game, or does she only existing in this story?
5. Did I mention I love the story?

Of all the Freedom Phalanx members, I think Positron is my favorite, maybe because he is in essence just a nerd like the rest of us. Only difference is, he's got a kick-[censored] power armor. Not unlike Tony Stark.

So, when is chapter 43 coming?

---

Main Hero: Flame Blade (Scrapper lvl 50; Katana/Regeneration)
Main Villain: Elenor Seahawk (Mastermind lvl 44; Necromancy/Poison)
My Arcs: #337278: Learning Curve
Fight my Brute: SMASH

To answer your items:

1. Thanks!
2. All of the Star Patrol members are characters in-game, played by a number of people. The ones who appear here are characters whose players agreed to let me write them in.
3. Thanks! Again!
4. Sorina Tavarisch is one of my primary in-game characters, as is Andrea Blake. (Sorina's my infamous grav/kin/primal lvl 50 troller [infamous because she does NOT have Speed Boost, Density Increase, or Inertial Reduction], and Andrea's my dark/psi/dark lvl 44 def.)
5. Yes, but feel free to repeat it as often as you like.

Of the Phalanx, my favorites are Positron and Synapse, due (in no small part) to how Troy Hickman characterized them in his Top Cow comics arc "Smoke and Mirrors." They're also the reason I liked the FREEDOM PHALANX novel. They seem the most 'human' of the Phalanx lineup.

Chapter 43 is about a third of the way written - I've been re-reading two of my other books to get a feel for the battle between Hro'Dtohz and Av'Adn.

And also yesterday afternoon, I had the absolutely insane idea of scripting out an entire machinima movie (like feature-length film, 90+ minutes) based on the Star Patrol. I must be mad.
