Congratulations. I have played and enjoyed this arc.

Anyone notice that this arc was an nominee 2009 Arc Awards? It looks like they are going to DC the nominees and just want to stretch out the process. Guess they are trying to get all the mileage they can out of all the work they put into the awards.

Dr. Aeon did say he'll try to get out a Devs' Choice once per week.

I'm sure he's taking his time going through these arcs checking for bugs and typos and maybe even contacting the author about some tweaks.

This is probably the recent Dev's Choice that I've heard the most good things about. I'll have to give this one a try.

Simply one of the (if not THE singular) best arcs out there. It deserved Dev Choice from the beginning.

And from what I hear, Chesire's other arcs make this one seem positively shiny and NOBLEBRIGHT.

Well, he did mention that the nominees would all be looked at for DC, so they won't all necessarily make the cut, but odds are if they were nominated they probably will.

I know I sent you in-game feedback, but I thought I'd publicly state that I really enjoyed this. I'm a bit of a negative nancy around here sometimes (insert reasons why in the form of an inappropriate comment that breaks several forum rules), so it's nice to have a reason to say something nice.

And this is where I get confused. All of these arcs where already chosen by devs to have been made nominees in the first place. So, why does there need to be a second round of vetting at all? The fact that they were nominees and selected by devs makes them DC by definition. Ultimately, I would hope that the original poster was right and that they are just trying to milk the process for all it's worth.
