Your Arch Nemesis is at it again.

I was playing around on my MM last night and noticed I was flying past the AE building when I had a thought.
I personally started avoiding AE shortly after it launched, having published a few arcs and then getting tired of the bAEbies being born.

With all the talk of CO and it's AN system I realized it'd be pretty simple to do the same thing here.

This is what I propose;

You give me a brief description of your Mortal Enemy, motives, powers & level, looks etc. and I'll become them.... sorta.

You'll never know when it'll happen.

I'll create a very short mission, one that has your Arch Nem doing something bad, then I'll send you a /tell or in-game mail taunting you to try and stop me. You can then, at your leisure, pop into an AE building and start up the arc. (I'll provide the # with the taunt)

No fuss, no muss. Just leave a comment letting me know you've done it. Then I'll unpublish and create a new one! Won't be a constant thing, just something that happens from time to time. After all, you never know when Dr. So and So will escape yet again to cause mayhem! Sometimes the mission will continue a storyline, sometimes they'll just be up to no good.

Thoughts? Suggestions?

I like this idea.
But I feel it'd be so much better if it was an entire supergroup or channel doing this.

Well, there really wouldn't be much for a whole SG or channel to do.

Other than the creation of your Arch Nem, everything would come together relatively quickly. It'd be tailor made specific for your toon, so not real interesting for a large team.

Just a quick little mission for you to come face to face with your personal Joker. Maybe starting out with them being a LT, then getting more power to take you on and becoming a boss... then EB kinda thing.

Basically, I'd keep a little notebook of who'd requested this and what kind of villain they wanted. Then every once in a while I'd log on and make up 2 or 3 missions and send the message to you. I'd then log out or go on with my own playing. You'd have a few days to do it, so you wouldn't feel like you had to drop what your doing and jump onto that particular toon.

Just send a message once you've taken him down, maybe let me know how you want the story to progress and thats it!

Well not something big, but if enough people like this, and you can only have 3 Arcs up at one time, and you had say 5 people, then those two would have to wait for one of those other three to get theirs done, or if you had 7, then that one unlucky last guy would have to wait for 4 people.
But if we had 3 to one person or if someone had extra slots for AE arcs, then we'd never have to deal with someone waiting for this, and when someone was done they don't have to wait for a bunch of people to get theirs done for his second mish.
Of course at this time there doesn't seem to be much of a Demand, but we could open this up to the rest of the Servers too.

I was intially worried about having to much to handle. I just figured since I'm currently not using my 3 slots and I have access to another 3 that if 1 or 2 people had to wait a day or two before their Arch Nem tried something then it would only lend to the 'Oh No, He's at it again' aspect of the whole thing.

But like you said, doesn't appear to be any demand for it. So no worries.

Okay, but I'd deffinatly like to "sign up" for this.

I would actually like something like this for one of my corrs, but she's far away from being able to do anything about it...

And honestly, may be a better response on either the rp sgs personal websites or Virtue, just because this does involve more rp-oriented things, and Infinity tends to take a "SRS RP IS COOTIES" approach.

I just Finnished my first Mission with this, and I'll be honest, this MUST be what AE was supposed to be for, because I was so excited to play this once I got the message, and while playing i had so much fun.
I recommend more people doing this 100%.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

But.


Keep an eye out, you never know when your nemesis will attack...

Alright, I kinda want to test this thing out afore the corr will be ready...

I'll be sending a PM shortly.

This is some of the most fun I've ever had playing City of Heroes.
And I get tons of tickets when i do these missions over and over, so it makes slotting much easier.

It's win/win, you have fun playing them and I have fun creating them!

Look for your Nemesis to strike again soon...
