Wow, if I'd have known it would have gotten this good of a reception, I would have taken down one of my arcs to publish it. Glad to see it's working out for you, Backfire, and all you crafter's out there. Of course, I don't think I would have realized the obviousness that is advertising it in the Inventions and Market forum, I rarely step out of my own little corners of the forums.

Thanks Bubba, I couldn't have done it without ya! And advertising's my specialty, y'know?

Just fyi- I'm sure it's been used more, but the arc has only received 17 play/rates so far and I seem to get at least one random 1-star a night (go figure).

I'm still making some final tweaks before I unleash it to the masses so any feedback is totally welcome!

One of those 5-stars is from me a couple of days ago. ^_^

Not sure why people would 1-star it... I guess they don't read.

Eh. There's always someone who will one-star anything just to be that way. Somebody assassinated Gandhi, for cryin' out loud.

I crafted a LOTG7.5 in there today. Sent you 5 stars because it's a good idea and you put a lot of surprising attention to detail in it.

Don't be surprised at low plays. The quickest way out once you've crafted is to just quit the taskforce and it dumps you right out. In theory you're supposed to click the computer...but that's just too slow.

One minor thing: multiple copies of people's characters show up on a setting of +0x8. Don't know if there's anything you can/should do about that, but just so you know (it's a bit immersion breaking). It's awesome seeing people's characters in there, though. Espeically Backfire himself, the coolest one of all.

Just a neat idea would be to see Doctor Aeon muttering something about how everytime he steps out to get a decent cup of coffee some group of heroes decides to try to destroy his Web. or perhaps arguing with a barista about the price of his drink or something.

Rated 5 stars

This is awesome, I will have to check this out and see if I recognize anyone. :3

Also, if there isn't a big pink bunny in there, that could be a nice add.

Next time you stop in check out Dr. Aeon's new animation and bio, I think you'll be pleased BTW- now I can't stop thinking Dr. A needs his own arc to expand on his new bio! We'll see if I get inspired enough to follow thru on it. Thanks for a great suggestion!

Also, there may be another familiar forum face hanging out in the lobby.

I wouldn't get return customers if I killed 'em, now, would I? That'd just be bad business! Thanks for giving it a whirl, Graper and good luck on your bet

I use this on my non-SGed alts all the time. It's a beautiful thing!

EDIT: and I like the Starbucks-type logo you have in your sig.

I find myself using it pretty regularly to replenish my temporary powers and the like. Much handier than heading to the university in most zones. And the AE in Atlas is pretty close to Wentworth's making very convenient there.
