or one of my other arcs including two 2010 Player's Choice Winners and an2009 Official AE Awards Nominee for Best Original Story
Yeah, today was tons of fun. The rest of the Tsoo Shenanigans arc was good when I ran it under it's previous name (Power of Magic) so it might be something to level our lowbies up with. My original critique is here: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showp...0&postcount=31

Well if I was writing the Captain Awesome arc I certainly would have put in a greater selection of enemies to fight than the Face robots and the Great Face and that Tech Guy but I know I wouldn't have been able to be anywhere near as funny either so it's a mixed bag.|

Best thing was actually going at a pace where I was allowed to read the clues, mish text, bios, etc and not feel like I was slowing the group down. I look forward to next week. Thanks WN for putting this together! |
Really looking forward to tomorrow when I can get slot some enhancements to catch up with all the leveling we did.
Glad you all enjoyed Whack a Mole, sorry I couldn't be there to race it with you, I had to run into work today.
I started a newbie and joined this team. It was a lot of fun.
This was me, for what it's worth:
@PW - Police Woman (50 AR/dev blaster on Liberty)
TALOS - PW war journal - alternate contact tree using MA story arcs
=VICE= "Give me Liberty, or give me debt!"
She needs eyes that change colour depending on her mood.
Also, butterfly wings.
Astoria in D Minor, a horror arc. Arc ID: 41565 - The Beating Heart of Astoria: A Play in Five Acts. Arc ID: 170547 - Ignition of the Machine, a story with robots. Arc ID: 318983
Captain Skylark Shadowfancy and the Tomorrownauts of Today. Arc ID: 337333 - Signal:Noise, where is everybody? Arc ID: 341194
@The Cheshire Cat - Isn't it enough to know I ruined a pony making a gift for you?
12 second horror stories - a writing experiment.

Ahhhh. THAT'S what everyone meant by calling you "PW"
Sometimes it's like being at someone else's reunion the way everyone knows each other from the forums. >.<
Oh, and Bubbawheat, Whack-A-Mole rocked!

I did not set up anything for today since I am unsure of my personal availability, but several people have expressed a desire to do some teaming today. So I am going to suggest that starting after Noon EST we just have "open teaming". If you happen to be on and want to run your MA character hop over to RWZ and see what is shakin. Odds are someone will be running AE missions.

Ugh! Hated missing today but couldn't get on early enough. Will be looking for teams to do some of the arcs nominated for the MA Player Awards today from now until around 5 pm pst if anybody is interested.
What was the verdict on the random arcs? Either one any good?

I have a lvl 10 MM/traps named CAPLOK sitting in RWZ atm, will log in when I get home from work, about 5:00 pm Central. Will also start working on a hero version prolly Wed. or Thu. Will be yelling in broadcast for a VG invite tomorrow :P

Lets say I am not recommending any of them. Best imo was: My will by @Petal Mist Arc ID: 136438 Rough, but the story ain't half bad and the author can improve the arc with enough spit and polish.

Yeah, the first one was not so hot, especially the first map being populated by toons with Storm powers - en masse, that's pretty rough on a team (especially when some of the team are under 20th level!). I didn't get to read much of the text but what I saw of it wasn't totally without merit, but much of the arc needs a lot of work. The kindest thing I can say is "not a total waste of a rough draft" and "not an abandoned boss farm" (althought wasn't that last mission all Lt.s?).|

I'm sad I had to leave after that one, I'm really curious to know what a "romance" arc is like now, as we had made jokes about it before we started the first arc. I may have to just get my new toon to the MA again and start checkingl out any arc marked for "romance" (while trying to dodge any LoveBoat jokes). It's going to be slow going trying to level him up on such a low-pop server so I might as well have fun doing it, right?
Schedule for this Week:
Tuesday starting 6:00pm EST - 2009 Player Award Night - Play some of the 6009 Nominees.
Saturday starting Noon EST - Open Teaming
Sunday starting Noon EST - Open Teaming
If anyone else has events to add please add them.

I believe I flagged "Two Households Alike" (#126582) for Romance; it's a 25-29 Family arc.

Thanks for the tip! I took my lowbie scrapper in and tried a few that came up under that flag and - surprise! - found mostly boss farms and outright "I never got around to really finishing this" detritus. Then again I might have been hampered by the low level of the toon.

We had low turnout last night which I suspect had a lot to do with the Halloween event dropping. We played:
Cutthroat Competition #10171 @Frozen Northman

I was wondering about something like that happening. Maybe we should still get together but just ToT or banner-team it until this event's over? Or is that too "impure" for these MA toons we're making? Personally, my playtime's limited and I need to get in as much time on the event as possible. I may still show for the team on Sunday (my one window of time that lines up with yours); for all I know I might be sick of it by then.

I don't think we will have that issue on the weekend, but ToTing or whatever you want to do with your character is up to you. Mine I would estimate are 75%+ leveled in MA, but I did not resist the 2x weekend to help me reach SO level.|

Yeah, gotta ToT the alts to get the costume salvage, at least! Weekend play may be limited too because of the event. Hopefully I can cram all my ToTing into Friday night so Saturday can be all MA!

What's the name of the SG/VG for the MA alts?? I'm about to log in and would really like to have some company as I'm new to Triumph, Victory is my "home" server.
By the way, the toons are CapLok, lvl 10 MM/traps and Infinity-A lvl 12 nrg melee/dark tank...
The name of the SG is MA-Arc-2. I'll be on Saturday (today) and hope to do some of the SO range nominees from the Player awards.
