Dr. Aeon's Dev Choice Suggestion Thread

Hey everyone,

I wanted to reboot our previous Dev Choice proposal threads with this new, improved, and shinier thread. However I want to make it clear that I have also looked at all of the arcs that were posted on that thread and that were marked as final.

Let's lay down some rules first on how this thread goes.

1) You can't submit your own arc.
2) The arc listed must be flagged as FINAL. If it's not flagged as final then I can't consider it eligible for consideration as a Dev Choice.
3) This thread is going to be for suggestion only, so please keep it to that. No debating over whether an arc should or shouldn’t be suggested.

Those are the three golden rules! Just to clarify to those concerned, this thread is not going to be the only place I use to find Dev Choices, just one of them. So if your arc isn't posted here, it doesn't mean that I'll never see it.

Let me kick off this thread by suggesting:

The Golden Age Secret of the Paragon Society Arc#344596 by @Wrong Number.

I hereby suggest:

The All-Seeing Eye, Arc ID 57352, by @Steele Magnolia

I'm going to go ahead and suggest Arc 375932: "Between Love and Loyalty" by @Cybernetic Hobo.

It's a great lower level redside arc with an unexpected twist near the end leading into a dangerous choice, and is just all around fun and well written. Had a lot of fun with this one.

I suggest Cadaver Crackdown (ArcID: 367963).

Commander Shepard approved. Hopefully you do too.

Several of the arcs that stood out to me have already been made Dev's Choice. I am sure some others will come to mind later, but for now I would like to suggest.

Death to Disco (84420) by @Wrong Number

Teen Phalanx Forever (67335) by @PW

MacGuffin Delivery Service (1567) by @Lazurus

I highly recommend Signal:Noise by @The Cheshire Cat. I am home alone now in the dark, and I still can't get the terrifying image of the impossibly tall man out of my mind. Thus I challenge you, Dr. Thaddeus Aeon, to turn of all the lights and play this game when you're home alone. Then, when you're done, just go for a walk around the house. Doesn't sound hard does it? So you go and do that, and then give Mr. Cat his well-deserved Dev's Choice.

I don't remember any earlier threads. Apologies if I'm nominating arcs that were already considered, then. Also, I didn't see anything about a limit, so I've thrown in anything I gave a five-star review that's still in the system and set to final.

"Small Fears", #12285; "Karmic Exchange", #47550; "All in the Family", #128109; "Teen Phalanx Forever!", #67335; "Mercytown"; "Aeon's Nemesis", #161865; Arc #338380, "Talos Vice"

Worthy arcs not set to final: "The Horrible Mr. Caractacus", #10721; "The Fan Club", #5898; "A Day in the Life of...Dr. Aeon" (#1296); Arc #55715, "Freaks and Geeks"; Arc #6017.

This thread isn't supposed to be for discussion of nominations, so I'll kill it right here by pointing out that "Signal:Noise" is ineligible because it's not marked as final (And I'm not going to change it yet because it's not "done" by my standards).

To stay on topic, I recommend "One Million Eyes" (71933) by @Minimalist. I believe it won a player's choice award ages ago but is still un-DC'd, and it's the last arc I played that really blew me away with its overall story and presentation. He's already received a DC for another arc (The winner of the first Aeon MA contest), but personally, I think this arc is actually better than the one that got the DC.

Since most of the ones I was going to suggest are here, a perusal of my votes yields:

The Extadine Lab: 2595
Nuclear in 90: The Fusionette Task Force: 58363

I'll also second the One Million Eyes arc, it's really good

I'd like to suggest The Echo, arc ID 1688 by @ MrCaptainMan

I'd third One Million Eyes if that means anything.

Other than that, off the top of my head I would suggest The Coldest of Wars #299972

I'd like to nominate:

Name: "Quid Pro Quo"
Arc ID: 82369
Author: @Hertz

There aren't many low level Villain MArcs, let alone ones this well done. Strong characterization and true villainy make this MArc truly entertaining.

WARNING: I bold names.

A-ha! Found an arc I really wanted to nominate.

Name: Hopeless
By: @TalenLee
#29262

A dark arc with a darker choice that wonderfully slides into CoV Nerva.

@FredrikSvanberg

"Fear and Loathing on Striga" - Arc ID 350522

Why? Because it's freakin' awesome, that's why! I'm so sorry to the author for not spotting this and nominating him in the Player's Choice awards for January. The missions flow well, characterisation is brilliant, objectives and maps are used professionally.

I would like to suggest:

A Hero in Need... is a Friend Indeed! (375018) by @Wrong Number

Two Tickets to Westerly (374002) by @PW

Mercytown is one of the best arcs out there that isn't Dev's Choice. To be honest, I really want to play The Marconeville Horror to see what makes it better than Mercytown, because I have no idea how it beat it in the Player's Choice awards.
