Dev Choice Suggestion Thread

Greetings, Architects!

I'm making this post here to declare this thread the DEV CHOICE SUGGESTION THREAD (please insert fanfare here).

Here, you can make suggestions for arcs that you feel should be selected as a Dev Choice. There's just a few rules I'd like you all to follow. I'm a doctor after all, rules are my business.

1. The arc you suggest must be flagged as final.
2. The arc can't be your own.
3. The player can't already have a Dev Choice.

That's it! Three simple rules. If you break them, horrific things will happen. Just kidding! But not really.

Also, please keep this thread to just posting suggestions for Dev Choice arcs. Any discussion on whether or not something should or shouldn't have been suggested can be talked about in-game in the arena.

Shame that we lost all the previous nominations, hopefully people will repost them in due haste. I'll post some nominations of my own once I get a chance to check over my list of recommended arcs and make sure that they're in nomination-worthy condition!

As you may know, I have a fairly extensive list of recommended arcs.

But I realize that may be too long, so here are a few that I'd particularly like to call attention to:

All in the Family (#128109)
Freaks, Geeks and Men in Black (#161629)
The Casualties of War (#241496)
The Doctor Returns (#1152)

It was not easy to cut a long list down to just a few entries, and if you asked me next week, I might suggest 4 different arcs, so please don't feel offended if I don't list your arc here.


@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!"

I would recommend the arc:

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

I feel it is an excellent arc with a new well developed contact that's lots of fun to play.

Amusing.

I nominate:

Hopeless #29262
The Invasion of the Bikini-Clad Samurai Vampiresses from Outer Space #61013
One Million Eyes #71933
The Curse of the Emerald Parakeet #1567

(There are a some more that I can't nominate because the authors already have a Dev's Choice, but they should have two. Breaking the rules and nominating them anyway would be very villainous of me....but a smart villain waits until the right time to strike. I'll get you next time Aeon, NEXT TIME!)


Eva Destruction AR/Fire/Munitions Blaster
Darkfire Avenger DM/SD/Body Scrapper

Arc ID#161629 Freaks, Geeks, and Men in Black
Arc ID#431270 Until the End of the World

My nominations:

51357 Rise of the Drakule
350552 Fear and Loathing on Striga Isle
253991 Splintered Shields
347029 Breaking The Barrier (And Putting It Back Together)

(and I've got at least one more that seems to have changed, so I need to play through it again to make sure it is still just as good)

And, if it counts, I'd like to second:

161629 Freaks, Geeks and Men in Black
344596 The Golden Age Secret of the Paragon Society
61013 The Invasion of the Bikini-Clad Samurai Vampiresses from Outer Space
71933 One Million Eyes

EDIT: Removed last statement. Lazarus pointed out that PW's already got a DC, so doesn't qualify anyway.


M.A. Arcs
Intended for high level play: The Primus Trilogy (Arc #s 10931, 283821, 283825), "Freakshow U" (Arc #189073), Purification (Arc #352381, Dev's Choice! )
Intended for low level play: "Learning the Ropes" (Arc #100304), "Cracking Skulls" (Arc #115935), "The Lazarus Project" (Arc #124906)

PW already has a Dev Choice, that disqualifies her from this thread anyway.

Outbroken - #379017 - Aehead

I'm definitely throwing in another vote for Arc #344596 - Golden Age Secret of the Paragon Society.

Wrong Number did such a fantastic job with that one!

Make that 3 votes!

Very good story. You could lift it out and put it right into the game people would never know.
