The map is from one of the Ouroboros TFs.

EDIT: I'm still not toally sure what fingercuffs are - I'm assuming they're like handcuffs, only smaller?

But much more devious GG, much more devious.

I decided to blow some time and check out the mission. In all better than I expected and worse than I had hoped for. I did like the map choice, but for something that might be considered a "canon" comedy, the location was wrong. It seems like a salute to the show "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" and so I gave it a point for that. Unfortunately it was just lack-luster and with spelling errors in the enemy chat it just did not come off that well.

In the end I gave it a 3 out of 5 and was probably being pretty generous.

I thought it was kinda silly, and I've never fought Luddites before so that was neat. Got in trouble at a point or two but that was my own fault for not watching my HP.

Keep in mind that said mission was put together in.. what? An hour? It was created while in a room with several people yelling out ideas to cram into it in that time frame and in a public place. It wasn't as if he was alone in his study with a spellchecker and a pre-written story board.

I give the arc a strong three stars just for the effort everyone took to go through the process.

The Chinese Finger Trap (aka fingercuffs):



The harder you pull, the tighter they get.


Loose --> not tight.
Lose --> Did not win, misplace, cannot find, subtract.
One extra 'o' makes a big difference.

While I liked the comedic aspects and the rarely seen map, I was disappointed that there was no fashion show. Should have been simple (and fun, for me at least) to make some dudes in battle armor running around--easily could have made them the non-combat types. I think some stronger tie-in to the fashion show aspect would have made the mini-adventure worth looking at.

I liked the comedy and especially the MASSIVE ego of Dr. Aeon. The map was pretty cool too. The spelling errors AND the fact that Black Scorpion was the only entry to the costume show seems like a poor plan though. Also, though I liked the map, it didn't seem right to use it since that put Black Scorpion in Atlas Park for peaceful reasons? Just a little weird. Overall, the negatives of this over-powered the positives and since I don't like rounding, I would give it two stars.

I played the missions with a friend and we both enjoyed it. I was sad to see only 30 feedbacks though, I thought it would have earned tonnes more.

Maybe it needs promoting a bit more on the in-game MoTD.

I hope you guys keeps working on this. Just because it wasn't initially rec'ved well don't mean it's not useful. Some things take time to build a following. Some posters just hate because of boredom. Can you make the enemies level 50 instead of 20? I'm always looking for high quality new content. We have had hardly any new content lately. MA is not organized well enough to find the great stuff so the posts/forums are the only way to find the good stuff. Trial and error has worked horribly for me in the MA. I'll build a team and the arc will blow and then I'll get hate comments.

Try to build a new map for each collaboration too please.

Yeah, I hardly do AE anymore due to the farms myself, although I did used to enjoy some of the actual stories...

If anyone DOES want to look up my actual stories, I have two. I forget the numbers, but the names are "Anya and the Dark Crows" and "The Rogue Islands Pet Shelter" or you can look for my global, @RagabashMoon
