Seeing as how next month has no set theme, I really need to get my tuckus in gear and finish my latest - if only I wasn't such a slave to my vision and victim of MA-edit gremlins!

Note: this is a NON-COMBAT mission so you will get no xp or tickets from it. But if you do a lot of crafting and often find yourself at the AE vendor buying salvage and recipes, you may find this to be one of the most useful arcs ever. It actually features usable invention tables!
Plus, it's chock full of fun clues and characters if you like to explore. Tell 'em I sent ya and the first drink's on the house
Craft your inventions in AE!!
Play "Crafter's Cafe" - Arc #487283. A 1 mission, NON-COMBAT AE arc with workable invention tables!
Here's my entry:
Arena: (#456200)
Gladiator fights in the arena have degenerated into a propaganda tool in the cold war between the U.S. and the Rogue Isles.
You have been assigned as security during the World Championship in St. Martial.
Intended for VEATs and other villains loyal to Arachnos.
Winner of Players' Choice Best Villainous Arc 2010: Fear and Loathing on Striga; ID #350522
What the hell go ahead and add my arc to the pot...
As they say you never know.
Nuff Said...
Coolio Wolfus leader of Coolio�s Crusaders on Union.
Tekna Logik leader of Tekna�s Tormentors on Defiant.
Creator of: Coolio's Tech Beacon Replacements
AE arc 402506, 'The Rise and Demise or Otherwise of Tekna Logik...'.
I would like to submit Dhahabu Kingdom and the Unfathomable Nightmare of Sand: #453511 for entry.
I'd like to submit my arc for review:
Attack of the Atlantic Kingdom
Arc ID# - 481091
The Atlantic Kingdom, a ruthless undersea military dictatorship, is demanding the United Nations to recognize them as a sovereign nation - a nation that includes the entire Atlantic Ocean! To press their point, they have invaded Paragon City! Is this their plan or is there 'more' to the attack?
Arc Creator: @Major Deej
For your consideration:
Papers and Paychecks (#298290) (rogue alignment)
@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!"
Been a crazy couple of weeks, but I'm glad I remembered this thread in time.
Anyway, I guess I'll throw in my second "Galactic Protectorate" arc (since your supergroup has already played my first):
-----
Arc Name: The Galactic Protectorate - 02
Arc ID#: 117281
Alignment: Neutral
Level Range: 40-50 Heroes/Villains
Number of Missions: 3
-----
Based on the feedback I've gotten, the second "Galactic Protectorate" arc isn't as difficult as the first, but I don't believe it's ever been run with a large team. I'd be interested in knowing how the experience differs if your supergroup decides to run this arc as a team rather than solo. Either way, I greatly appreciate your feedback, and thanks as always for holding these monthly contests!
Supplemental Galactic Protectorate Fanfic
Deadline to submit entries has now been reached...we will announce our winner on the 29th at or around 20:00 Eastern time! Thank you to all who submitted entries.
The current situation with the MA (see here for a discussion: http://boards.cityofheroes.com/showthread.php?t=259226, basically a whole lot of arcs are left broken and unplayable because of strange "copyright" errors) might warrant an extension of this month's contest. In any case I would like to point out that the arc I entered into the contest ("Arena") is currently unplayable because of this sudden and mysterious change in the profanity/copyright filters.

Since all authors are allowed to enter their arcs again in the next month's contest if they so choose; and because no fix is imminent or at least has not been announced as imminent to my knowledge; we will not be extending this contest; but the May contest begins on Sunday. Please feel free to re-submit your arc for next month's contest beginning May 1; which will not be themed. |

On a side note; your submission was played by my team before the bug manifested but there were some players who tried it later and were not able to play it.
Winner of the April contest will be announced very soon.
