Hoping to see some people come out for this. Would love to try out some Virtue arcs to run too.
Just a reminder, the Ænvasion is tomorrow. Looking forward to meeting more fun, creative players here on Virtue

Today's Ænvasion target was Virtue! 2 nearly full teams of Virtue faithful came out for Bubbawheat's Time-Warp themed AE adventures. The current copyright bug made for some last minute arc choices, but we still ran 2 chrono-riffic arcs and one infinitely awesome bonus arc! Thank you Virtue for a fun-tastic time

Often the AE Storyteam will choose a theme for the week and search out arcs that fit, spotlighting a few that are well executed and have a unique/memorable twist. Today, Bubba decided to go with a Time Warp theme.I cannot thank the Virtue players enough for their enthusiasm and good spirits. I was happy to see comments afterward along the lines of, "Now this is how AE is supposed to played!" I couldn't agree more and thank you for taking the time to play with us
First up was Groundhog Daze, an older arc that still stands up to today's tastes. The story features a custom enemy mercenary group themed around Rodents (bonus points if you can spot the one that doesn't belong...and no, it's not the critter that's been invalidated). Their leader Pauxatawny Phil (sp?) is harnessing chronal energies to gain power for himself and you get caught in a loop trying to stop him.
The arc makes creative use of the level shifting ability of AE as your character is back-shifted each mission to show his/her loss of power. Normally if an arc switches levels between missions it's a distraction, here, it works FOR the story! Fun dialog, creative mechanics and unique customs get this story MOST CREATIVE and BEST CUSTOMS for the week!
Next up Bubba picked what's probably the most well-known time warp arc in AE...his own! Ctrl+Alt+Reset is already a Dev Choice and for good reason. It's a very well detailed and well polished romp thru the time loop as you try to solve the mystery of an evolving time machine and free yourself from an infinite loop! Pay close attention to your clue bag in the final mission as there's many fun pop-culture jokes and references.
While the arc does have its humorous moments, it's more of high-octane adventure than comedy show. And the creative take & mechanics make it BEST OVERALL for the week!
Those that stuck around for 1 more mission were treated to my off-theme bonus arc. I figured since we'd just run 2 infinite loop arcs, it'd be fun to share one of my favorite quickie mishes (as evidenced 2 weeks ago) that takes our players to an infinitessimal level...Storming Citadel!
This time, we wanted a slightly different experience so we actually failed the mission to get the alternate ending! ...Okay, so we didn't fail on purpose. I forgot it was a timed mission and we took too long reading, but it was a fun experience even though we almost supersized in Citadel's head >.< BEST HAPPY MISTAKE!
Next Sunday (5/29/11): the Ænvasion! continues!! Join us on Liberty Server at the AE Building in Rikti War Zone at our regular time: 9am Pacific/noon Eastern. Storyteam member and Liberty resident, Lord of Storms is stepping out of the shadows and onto center stage with his picks for the week! Go easy on him, as I will be missing this session to celebrate my birthday in RL. Remember, all levels and ATs are welcome, so feel free to make an alt and join the Ænvasion!

I've run with y'all a few times on Triumph and had a blast. I have some fun toons on Virtue as well and I am looking forward to running more often with y'all. I'll try and join up next Sunday.
See y'all then!
The AE Storyteam (that usually meets weekly on Triumph) is branching out and Ænvading a new server every week! Our next Ænvasion target is Virtue!
About us: The AE Storyteam is a group of players, and authors, who meet every weekend to run AE story arcs and search out the best AE has to offer! We've developed our own unique brand of AE teaming where we share all the contact dialog with the team and take our time to read and experience as much of each story as we can. We're always looking for new members who have a passion for playing & creating AE arcs!Each week we're hosting a simple, fun AE team up to run non-farm AE arcs and share our unique brand of fun with other AE Enthusiasts or players interested in trying out something new!
We meet in the RWZ AE building so it's co-op and all levels & ATs are welcome to join.
The ever lovin' Bubbawheat will be choosing some of AE's best stories and helping to lead the teams. We've scheduled the Ænvasion for Sunday at 12 noon Eastern/9am Pacific in RWZ.
If this sounds like something you'd be interested in, post here and let us know. If you have any questions or arc suggestions, we'd love to hear 'em! We look forward to playing with ya and showing off the fun side of AE! Join the Ænvasion this Sunday!
