I added "Evil Science" as a category per Sente's suggestion. If any of you know of other arcs in the list that you think belong there, let me know.

Thanks

I found this arc in Bubbawheat's 2010 Player's Choice Nomination Thread. It was very well written and lots of fun to play. I especially loved the contact Granny Bloodfist.

This arc was well written and lots of fun to play. The introduction really grabbed my attention. Some of the NPC dialog was very funny to me.

I played this arc because it was nominated for the 2010 Player's Choice awards and I am so glad that I did.

It is very creative, filled with details and a lot of fun to play. For me it was the perfect level of difficulty and I loved the map choices. I was not bored for a single minute. I recommend this arc to anyone who is looking for fun!

I played this arc because it was nominated for the 2010 Player's Choice awards and I am very glad that I did.

This arc is a timed challenge arc. It was creative and fun and no I didn't beat it yet, but I plan to replay it until I do. If you are looking to challenge yourself with 15 minutes of fun, this arc is a great choice.

@FredrikSvanberg

I played this arc because it was nominated for the 2010 Player's Choice awards and I am very glad that I played this arc as well.

It is very creative and I really enjoyed it. It creates a mystery that you solve in a one mission, one map arc. If you are looking to play a story arc but don't have a lot of time, this arc is a great choice.

This is yet another arc that I played this arc because it was nominated for the 2010 Player's Choice awards.

It was very well written and full of detail. It had lots of dialog and clues and though it was long, it kept my interest througout. This arc was nominated for the customs, but I am very glad I played it for the story.

@Venture

I really loved this arc because it managed to touch me and make me laugh all at the same time. It was true to life, in that things are not always black and white. It has a really good story and the gameplay was perfect for me. I was never annoyed or frustrated.

This was my second time playing the arc, and this time I noticed humor in both the dialog and the NPC names that I missed the first time and that I really enjoyed. This is a great arc to play this holiday season!

@Dalghryn

This is one of the best arcs I have played. I really love it and it would have been in this thread a long time ago if it had not been rated 5 stars and on page three. I was shocked to see that it had fallen to 4 stars.

I am not a fan of war movies, war books or in general war related arcs, so for me to love this, is a trubute to how great it is. It is well written and touching, for me a must play!

This arc was very well written and creative. It had a good story that kept my interest and a play level that didn't detract from my ability to enjoy it.

What I liked best was small bits of humor and references to things outside the arc.
This is another really good holiday themed arc from Venture!

This arc is really well-written. It has nice customs with good bios and good clues, but what I loved most was the story. It makes you think about the consequences of your actions and how they are not always what you might expect.

I found this arc among the entries for the Monthly AE Author Contests from The American Legion, so thanks again to Trekkin and the American Legion for running the contests. This arc is well-written and fun to play. It is easy to solo and provides you with a fun story without walls of text.

If you are looking for fun, especially if you enjoy fighting Rikti, this arc is a good choice!
