Arc number 523178 Title "TrueTest of the Incarnate" Arc is set for everything at lvl 54, Might be a couple spelling errors in some of the content, but over all solid arc, very challenging arc.
It was build on Liberty server if that is needed.
Since January 2011 the American Legion Super Group of Virtue has been hosting a monthly AE author's contest. I would like to submit for consideration our winning arcs:

Just an observation.. that's (3) DC's and (17) plays out of (7) months and (29) thursdays since TGIMAT originated 06.17.11.. Even factoring some very liberal leeway for vacations and launches and appearances and such, we should be further along than that should we not ?

I hate to say "I told you so," but....
Eva Destruction AR/Fire/Munitions Blaster

Arc ID#161629 Freaks, Geeks, and Men in Black
Arc ID#431270 Until the End of the World
Nominating 15+ Min TUTORIAL - Knowledge Is Power: Architect Entertainment #28470 and ADVANCED TUTORIAL - Knowledge Is Power: Tips, Tricks & Secrets #403441. Originally I wasn't going to since the first of the two is a Hall of Fame but both are more than deserving of being Developer's Choice and the second probably won't get any attention without a DC.
Hello everyone!
Today I joined 7 virtuous Virtuites (no offense to any Villains who may/may not consider themselves unvirtuous intended!) and ran Arc #87333 The Internet Is For PWN! by @VoiceOfIsaac! In this very humorous arc, we battled the Television on behalf of The Internet, with many memes rescued (or trodden underfoot!) If you want to know more, you'll just have to run the arc yourself! It comes highly recommended by the whole team!
Joining me were PAGAN SHADE, Jason Darkpath, Raiken Belandrake, Fire Tails, Xeden, Wardbreaker and I HAZ A TAIL! Thank you to them, and to all the other good people from Virtue who offered to come along! I'm sorry I wasn't able to take everyone!

....Whoa!
Okay, big thanks to kviri for plugging my arc! I didn't even know this thread existed until today!
Thank you VERY much for the kind words about my arc, seriously! I really hope people enjoy it, it was great fun to write and test.
Most often online as: Onmyouji (Triumph, Defender), King Kaizoku (Virtue, Mastermind), Sister Samedi (Freedom, Scrapper), G1 Shrike (Pinnacle, Defender), Kinetic Rex (Virtue, Blaster), El Santo de Aguilas (Virtue, Peacebringer), Hecate (Exalted, Controller), The Mask of Legend (Exalted, Scrapper), and Star-Ranger Green (Exalted, Corruptor)
Hello Everyone!
Today I hopped on Liberty and ran the arc "Freaks, Geeks, and Men in Black" (Arc # 161629)! Starting as a mission to help out a Freak gone Legit, it turns into a much more sinister plot, with secret agents, conspiracies, and false premises galore! You won't want to miss this one!
Thank you to Frosty Igloo, Mystic Titania, Fistastic, Steel Yakuza, BlackSiren and Yoshima for joining me for the fun! Also, thank you to all the good players of Liberty who came and offered to help, but for whom the party was already too full!

I hope most of those who didn't join the "official" run still joined together to play the arc among themselves.

Hello everyone!
Today, I returned to Virtue to run Arc #1396: "Grim Riddles" by @Mantid with 7 good players from Virtue! In this arc, we had to solve riddles sent to us by a mad Villain who likes to play with other's lives.
We fought through clever riddles, fun maps, and custom NPC's in order to finally triumph! You'll have to play the arc yourself to find out how it happens.
Thank you to Dark Carnival Lette, Merryl Shockclaw, Farandole, Skye Delcinea, Allatrope, Lady Burlesque and Slavage for joining me on this run!

Ah darn... got me when my arms were crossed. I quickly realized it makes Allatrope look kind of clippy so I went to the other stance.
But still, that was fun. I always love to play AE arcs with large groups of people, but in-game I rarely get the chance to do so.
"In his head"... heh.

Hello everyone!
Today, I went onto Exalted, and together with 7 "exalted ones", ran Arc #26811: "Love is in the Error" by @Witch Engine! This was a very humorous arc about a hopeless paramour and his quest for love! When you run this arc, be sure to check out all the custom NPC's and their descriptions! If you don't laugh, then you must be a villain! (Oh wait, I'm a villain, and I laughed! D'oh!). With great map choices, and surprises at every turn, this isn't an arc you want to miss!
Thank you to those of you who joined me on this run, and to everyone else who showed up and offered to come along, but for whom there was no space!
Our Team: Real Ultimate, Blazin Shadow Dragon, Revolution, B1oody Hell, Frostusion, Minnie Maul and HOG!
See you next time!

Frostusion
Hello everyone!
Today I joined 7 Unionites for Arc #2260: "The Burning of Hearts by @TheDeepBlue! We had great fun beating up snakes and mooks, and took part in a personal vendetta against the mob! With great dialogue, cool maps (we were even in a casino!) and interesting custom NPC's, this is an arc worth running!
Thank you to Big Fire Blaze, Dangerous Red, Radian Lancer, Neon Tempest, Dave the Civil, Alexander Chill and Flint Spark, as well as all the others who showed up at this late hour for helping out!

The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

It was good fun, thanks for having us along. Mooks and Snakes don't often get a lot of coverage in the later parts of the game, and the final mission's rumble in the casino was a nice touch.

The last time someone asked about that (back 'round the first of February iirc) in one of the dev chats, we got the dreaded "we have no plans at this time" response.

gets done to AE its another nerf vs any QOL improvements to search or adding the powersets for the customs like KM and others. IDK seems like they just don't give a damm about anything to improve AE just nerfs. Shame.
The development team and this community deserved better than this from NC Soft. Best wishes on your search.

I'm guessing that's because there's no good way to charge players for updating it, so there's little impetus to do so. Selling market points to players seems to be the main thrust of the game now, so we're pretty much in the PVP boat at this point. |

On the other hand, we can still get a lot done with what we already have, so things could be worse.

I would say more but most would be censored and is against forum rules.

Thx Dave, i appreciate it..so I'll start a separate thread for my arc..ty!!!! (btw, dave clark 5 rocked!)
You'll have to do things like I did and most others did I think - start a thread about your arc here in the AE forums ("My New Arc: 'Awesomeness McAwesome' #blahblah" is a good title for such a thread) and then listen to players' comments and suggestions (odds are, some will be worth taking and listeing to carefully), keep reworking it, writing more etc. etc. etc....
and hope someone likes your work enough to recommend it here.
