Shorts?

Not the pants. I've seen several missions in MA that uses four letter shorts, like BHMA. Is there some thought behind this or is it just arbitrary?

S F M A: Story Focused Mission Arc - this was put in by players wanting to differentiate from farms, and will presumably fall out of use over time.

B H M A: Badge Hunter Mission Arc - from what I can see on the US fora, this was created for the badge hunters to identify each others' arcs and five-star them (for the star-related MA badges). It doesn't seem to have worked as intended, per the first post in this thread.

Cancelled in Three - MA ID #34608. Please play and comment! Top 10 placing in Projectionist's MA contest!

I submit to you that it worked exactly as intended for most of the participants - just not for the bloke who wrote that post

It is worrying - I wish they hadn't put in badges connected to ratings, or even for producing content, at all. Ouroboros was the badge-heavy issue - I was looking forward to I14 helping to bring story-telling and creativity back to the fore, instead of badging and farming

As much as I love being able to make my own missions I'm starting to wish that I14 had just been a normal issue with Dev-created content.
