That's a really cool idea! I know my nephew would LOVE something like that.
How long until someone takes this a step further and puts a marriage proposal in the MA?

that's a reallllly good idea.
I know that both of my (short, admittedly) arcs were made for my spouse.
Awesome idea. Hope your son has a good time.
Really nice idea! I am sure he will have a blast!

Check out one of my most recent arcs:
457506 - A Very Special Episode - An abandoned TV, a missing kid's TV show host and more
416951 - The Ms. Manners Task Force - More wacky villains, Wannabes. things in poor taste
or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story
CyberDads rock.
Good job 
I think this is such a neat idea, and as I'm playing the game right now, I've decided to play your mission.
If you don't mind, I'd like to offer you some (hopefully useful and constructive) criticism.
First off, I suggest you change the name slightly. "A Not So Happy Birthday" sounds a little less sad than "An Unhappy Birthday" I think.
Second, your mission contact is the generic hologram. It would be way cooler if you built an actual contact to grant the mission. Maybe make Statesman the mission contact.
Third, I suggest changing the glowie text to "You help Super Kid open the present. I wonder what it could be!" because I felt bad for opening all of Super Kid's presents for him.
Fourth, I suggest making some of the Super Family members just follow-along-and-not-fight types. The mission got a little crowded with alies and I found that the enemies tended to die very quickly. I often couldn't even get a shot off. Maybe make the last three family members non-combat?
Fifth, the mission felt a little too short. May I suggest you add an end boss? Maybe Lord Recluse himself is the party crasher. Because of all the allies, most people could probably take him on.
All in all, it was a fun mission. I really enjoyed it and I loved the sentiment, so I gave you 5 stars.
Oh, and a very happy birthday to Super Kid!

But that would require purchasing the Wedding Pack! Who's gonna blow a whole ten bucks on something like a marriage proposal??!!!
I guess they could just use stock characters.
Honey, I have something to ask you, but I think it would be better coming from Dr. Vahzilok...

You sound like a GREAT dad. My Dad use to play slot cars and electric trains with me and my brother when we were young. It was not until many years later when I found out he didn't even like slot cars or trains but did it to spend more time with us.
It actually brought a tear to my eye as I began to realize the unconditional love he showed us as kids. Your son will remember this time for a lifetime. Cheers to you mate.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

My son turned 7 today, and absolutely loves COH. Evey friday night he looks forward to running a mission or two with me and my friends.
Well, I made a birthday themed mission for him. (Arc ID 22273)
The mission is nothing Fancy, just the ability to make custom characters for the whole "Super Family" to represent the whole family (as allies to be rescued) is great. He gets to run the mission tonight, and I think it will be the most memorable birthday gift he gets this year.

This is a wonderful use of the MA, and I hope your son is all giggles tonight. With any luck, your team will wipe, and your son will be the one who saves the day.

You had me at Wasting Disease... 
QR - Good dad? he gave his son an imaginary birthday party!
joking. ran your mission last night. I think it could have used some more text, maybe what was in the presents, and a souvenir, but I'm sure your son loved it. Nice.

Very clever idea. I commend you, sir.
As for the proposal MA, I'll need to try that some time.
well, it was a success. He had a blast, and has played it 2 more times this morning, and had to tell his mom (who doesn't play COH)all the details about it.
If nothing else, it's a good silly mission for other parents to direct their kids to.
You bet Rev. Good looking out.

Nice, Rev! Cheers to creativity!
Dec out.
I'm so glad it worked out so well!
I just have to say that's the awesomest use of the MA system I've ever seen. Now I have plans if I can ever get my nephew into the game....! Thanks for posting this!!
