see? I must really really like this idea 
/sign for this
Although I won't personally be discussing the details of my first arc i am planning (although if you have read any of my backstory and creative writing pieces - you can probably guess); i will discuss future ideas though.
Although it will have to be specified that it is for contructive discussion and not random farming ranting posts.
Have to say... not much before release. If it were put up now it would become a cross between creative and general, with people busily creating plots the can't have a chance of implementing, and slagging the whole idea off.
Wait until we actually have more of a clue what the system is going to be like. A manual would be nice *hint hint*

I imagine they would do this anyway, like they did with Inventions. But /signed just in case they weren't planning on it.
TBH While I would like a forum thread I'd look for a non-affiliated forum for things like this as then posting of work rounds or hacks won't get locked/removed. And while no-doubt places like Cold Front will continue to have such things a site that deals exclusively with player created content is IMO a far better idea...
Using workarounds and hacks are a sure fire way to get yourself banned from the game, and definitely NOT something I'd ever want to get involved in anyway.

Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Work round = Magic desks
Hack = Vidiot Maps pack
For example.
One is exploiting a bug and the other is exploiting the way the game works, and one will be removed from the existing forums though has no real harm to the game.
I'm not trying to suggest that you should use or talk about things that would break the game an instant levelling exploit for example. However freedom to talk about things that might get you banned just for talking about it is IMO essential.
Good idea FFM
/Signed.
When you do add the section make sure ye spell "Architect" right 
yes to the original suggestion. Might even need two sections, one for discussing work in progress, and one for reviews.
As for spelling, can the architect please have the capacity to import text from a word processor?
I really should do something about this signature.
SHUSH! 
It was a typo!

I doubt it does, judging from some of thfol-ups I've seen in the game. The MA is supposed to be like the one the devs have, but simplified, not hugely improved.

Does Copy-and-paste into fields work in CoH? I can't remember. I would hope it will for this anyway, be silly not to. That's good enough really.

Generally, yes. As long as you use Ctrl+V.

Probably too soon, though having it before release would facilitate discussion about it; but once the Mission Architect is released, can we pretty please have a forum section dedicated to it? Somewhere where architects can discuss the whole process?
Getting it sooner would be nice, as we could discuss story ideas etc...

I think that can be arranged, when we get closer to the time .

Oh no it would just turn into another RP thread wouldnt it your killing with your rp foo ffm 
A side note would be handy for those who will be taking part in mission building.
Da forums have all gone to the "RP" 
Well.. I need SOMEwhere to discuss my story arcs about the wholesale slaughter of anything short, blue, and singing.

yay
Off topic question GR since your here, would it be possible for the devs/community team to release the information of who made a popular arc? I know it was said (or speculated? cant remember) that we wouldnt be able to see who made the arcs, but just be good to give the people the recognition they deserve if their work becomes well received.
Was just thinking if people came out claiming an arc was theirs when it wasnt.
@Damz Find me on the global channel Union Chat. One of the best "chat channels" ingame!

If that would be the problem everybody would just work a (not-so) hidden signature easter egg in (in clue descriptors or dialogs) Why not if that's a "holodeck" annyway?
For the same reason hiding names of authors might be a bit silly. The only situation where it might be useful is you made a lot of absolutely horrible missions, but now do a great ones (or so people say... All two of them. 
)
I think the name "Mission Architext" was a pun...
Anyway, /signed, for obvious reasons.
