The movie is called Super Troopers. It's very, very good, and to my surprise, I could not find the original gag on youtube. Really good movie, very funny - but sophomoric.

Trifecta Task Force

@Ashcraft

This arc was very well written and had a story that kept me wanting to play. It was somewhat challenging as advertised, but I was able to solo it on a level 48 Fire Kin. There were a few small bits of humor that made me smile and some really great looking customs. If you are looking for a fun, challenging arc, this is a great choice!



At this time I am also adding another of my arcs which got a random grief rating:

In Pursuit of Liberty
ID - 344916
@Gypsy Rose

Work with H. G. Wells to turn a willful young child into a hero. Travel through time, fight evil villains, solve a mystery but most of all, have fun! This arc is a modern fairytale spanning nine years in the life of Liberty Rose Jones. Help her find her destiny and in the process, find yours!

@Kitsune9tails

Playing this arc is like stepping into an old school hardboiled dectective film and you are the detective. It is very well written and has a great story that made me keep wanting more. It made a nice use of clues and was lots of fun to play.

I decided that it would be useful to be able to find arcs by category. So I plan to add a post that includes arcs from this list sorted by category.

If any of you have any specific categories you would like included, or a specific category you would like your arc in, let me know.

Thanks

No time to write new ones.. even though one is in the works. Hardly time to play some recommended here.. but have done so anyway

But... I made the first mission on my arc way easier. People didn't like to die that much it seems. Replaced one EB for a Boss, Set the level cap from 37 to 45 so all powers are still there, nerved the mob extremely... still need to watch out for the bosses though. They are a killer. All now easier. On a team of 8 it will still be a swarming army that attcks you.

Let me know what you think of it . I seem not to get out of the 4 star range... But will keep trying anyway.


- The Italian Job: The Godfather Returns #1151
Beginner - Encounter a renewed age for the Mook and the Family when Emile Marcone escapes from the Zig!
- Along Came a... Bug!? #528482
Average - A new race of aliens arrives on Earth. And Vanguard has you investigate them!
- The Court of the Blood Countess: The Rise of the Blood Countess #3805
Advanced - Go back in time and witness the birth of a vampire. Follow her to key moments in her life in order to stop her! A story of intrigue, drama and horror! Blood & Violence... not recommend to solo!

Made for the first Aeon's Challenge, and if I remember correctly it was one of my favorites that wasn't dev's choiced.
I played Task Force Mutternacht.

This is an amazing arc. It is has a great story that made me want to keep playing. It is really well written from the contact dialog, to the clues, all the way through to the souvenir. I loved it, and for me it is a "must play"! Thank you so much Bubba for recommending this!

I added the post that sorts arcs by category, and will gradually add all arcs in this thread to that post. As I go through the arcs, if I don't see an obvious useful category for an arc, I will add it to that post under "No Special Classification". If you see an arc there and you have a category you would like it placed in, let me know.

Also when you add an arc to this thread, if you can, suggest a category.

Thanks

Thanks a lot for this note and the one you sent in game. I did change around the last mission considerably, but I'm glad the original was well received - it received a lot of split opinions originally.

I found this arc in PW's contact tree and I really enjoyed it. The contact dialog was very well written and the story grabbed my interest. The author made great use of clues to tell parts of the story. I recommend this arc if you are looking for a villainous arc that is lots of fun to play.

I found this arc in PW's contact tree. It is really well written and lots of fun to play. It has great contact dialog and lots of humor in clues, bios, and NPC dialog. If you like fighting Freaks and are in the mood for something fun, this arc is a great choice!

* Arc 114611 - Death of a League (@Scooter)

Great villain arc. Where you do what a villain wants too. Reduce the heroic population.
I played Death of a League.

This is a well written arc that was lots of fun to play. You work for your contact to eliminate a League of Heroes. It had really nice customs and I loved the clues you got for each defeat.

If you are looking for a fun arc to play as a villain, especially with a team, this arc is a good choice. Thanks to Liz Bathory for recommending it.
