OK, that is kewl! How does promotion of an arc qualify as an event and how can I do something like this with my arcs?

You do know how the "sound and fury" quote goes? 
SPOILER BELOW ...
... a tale told by an idiot
... filled with sound and fury ...
... signifying nothing
Sorry, 
my twisted sense of humor made me do it.
And all joking aside, I look forward to playing your new arc. Cool poster!

It's a canned response, copied and pasted. Tis not an event, except for the fact that it's eventful that the poster was posted, as the posters that aren't admins can't post posters...
/ow, my tongue...
August 31, 2012. A Day that will Live in Infamy. Or Information. Possibly Influence. Well, Inf, anyway. Thank you, Paragon Studios, for what you did, and the enjoyment and camaraderie you brought.
This is houtex, aka Mike, signing off the forums. G'night all. - 10/26/2012
Well... perhaps I was premature about that whole 'signing off' thing... - 11-9-2012

Click on the picture and it will give details. However, they ignored my email initially and I ended up having to PM Nivienne.

[/ QUOTE ]I don't know if it's just me, but clicking on the pic does nothing at all. Clicking on your 'banner' link just shows the pic, too. I went to the link that Niviene posted for events, but that really hasn't got any specific info about using that kind of thing as a means of promoting MA arcs.
Did you host some type of 'event' related to the arc? I didn't find anything about that, either. I really wouldn't have a clue about how to run that kind of event, if it involves contests, teaming for running the arc, etc.. I probably wouldn't be able to run any teams for it, since that's one of my biggest problems in CoH. I can't do team missions without crashing.... a lot. So, I have to solo missions or street sweep.
That's one thing I love about MA, there are a lot more missions that I can run without having to do the usual radio missions or just run around the streets of Paragon. At this point, even if I could run teams without crashing, I wouldn't have a clue what my character is supposed to do in a team. I'd be one of those annoying higher level toons that 'doesn't know how to play it'. I only know how to play solo. Unfortunately, that also limits my number of in-game friends that could help me out with any kind of promotional 'event'.
I guess I'm just going to have to keep sending out an occasional post to broadcast and the Mission Architect channel to advertise. I hate doing that too often because I don't want to become one of those annoying chat spammers that people tend to put on 'ignore', either. lol

I've seen a number of arcs where they've had their banners posted. I assume they've extended this service to include MA promotion, even though that's not explicitly stated.

[/ QUOTE ]Hmmm.... Maybe I'll see if I can come up with a poster and give it a shot.
Thanks for the great idea.

Ok, just to drum up a little interest ( only 8 ratings so far ), here are a few screenies.
You get to:
Rescue damsels in distress, fight cool pirates, fight uncool pirates, endure many incredibly bad jokes, and be a party pooper!

Arc Name: Pirate's Quest: A Tale of Sound and Fury
( I kid you not ), Custom
Arc ID: 217930
Morality: Heroic
Factions: Almost all of them
Difficulty Level: Moderate to Hard. Mission 4 has EB/AV.
Synopsis : In your private residence., you discover an old chest with a treasure map inside. Worried about who left it, and the possible disclosure of your secret identity, you resolve to get to the bottom of the mystery.
( Keywords: Pirate, Humor, Comedy )
Note: This is a classic Venture "Just a bunch of stuff that happened" arc. I was mainly focused on the humor, rather than on a deep storyline. I'd appreciate any comments and suggestions on how to make it more humorous.
