AE Storyteam info, schedule & reviews

This Sunday was player's choice. Due to time constraints for some of the players, we only managed to play one arc to completion.

Last Weekend we played:

'Tis Nobler in the Mind, by @LaserJesus
#257226

The Sick Rose, by @Clave Dark 5
#537898

Both had good stories and were fun to play.

For this weekend I would like to do a Spring Theme!

I'm not going to make it again this Sunday. We need to be meeting earlier! (I'm sure I'm the only one thinking that, alas)

I know I could do it earlier, but I am on the East Coast so it is at noon for me. For the West Coasters that is 9 in the morning, so I think you are right; they would not agree.

Meeting up earlier would be more likely to make me show up as well. I work at night and risk "staying up too late" to play with this group.

Also, thanks for giving my arc a spin last time, I didn't catch that.

Go for it, I think I'm the only West Coaster and I'm spotty at best for attendance lately. Just let me know the new time and I'll update the OP and MA Arc Finder MOTD.

I'm a west coaster, too, but I work nights. How much earlier would be possible for you to attend, BF? Maybe we can find a good medium for everyone's schedules.

This last weekend the Theme was Spring and we played:

#253903 Bunny Brigade Task Force1.0!

And

#26811 Love is in the Error

Both mentioned Spring in the descriptions, and since I can't honestly say what a Spring Arc should be like, I guess they both fit the bill. Both were less than serious, though "Love is in the Error" was more of a comedy, while Bunny Brigade was several missions of rescue allies from "Qhaos" and then go after a boss or two in the last mission.

For those that are looking for such arcs, I will say that "Love is in the Error" is more of a story based comedy for all you villains at heart.

Today we played

Deadfellas, #322373: Best (better) Dialogue

and

Rise of the Copper Legion, #60280 : Best (Better) Customs

Story on both was about equal, with Copper Legion being a little better.

These arcs are in the DC nomination thread, so thought we would try them. Since I currently have to workable Theme ideas, we will continue with more nominees next weekend. True, next Sunday is a holiday here in the US, so not sure if we will actually play (depends on if anyone shows up!).

Looks like I won't be making these meets for quite awhile longer. I'm hoping I can adjust my sleep schedule a bit so I can be functional to join you all, but at least for the next couple months I'll still be out.

I've been missing it, I really enjoy teaming with you all.

For those that might be wondering, the Storyteam is still going on Liberty. I have been thinking of making some changes, so I would like to post them and see what people think.

1.) The 1st change is one that has been done before, has been discussed recently, and I would like to start again... Have the Storyteam meet on a different server each week. I would like to start this soon, but with I23 having just come out, I am not sure what date to set. We would rotate through the servers alphabetically, including the EU servers but only the English-speaking one(s). I don't speak French or German, sorry.

2.) Dropping the idea of Themes, at least for the short term. The Storyteam has been active for a while, and let's face it; there are only so many themes that work in AE. That means either repeating the themes or do something different. What I would like to do is have everyone that joins us that week bring a list of arcs they want to play. I would like to also put some restrictions on what can be on that list, but the restrictions could be changed based on the next item, so I will leave that open for now.

3.) I would like to start a list of arcs, something like the "AE Storyteam Recommends" List. These would be picked from arcs we play as a team, with each player voting yes or no on recommending it. I would suggest we use a majority vote, but state what the "vote" was by listing the number present and how many voted yes, i.e. "4/7" meaning 4 recommended it out of 7 playing it. Rather than searching through old lists and making up numbers, this list would start fresh, with only those arcs the team plays after this starts. IF we do this as I propose, we would likely be playing a lot of older arcs as well as newer ones since the only arcs that would go on the list have been played by a team.

I am open to discussing these ideas to clarify points, determine if they are feasible, whatever, so have at it. For example, perhaps arcs that the author recommends be played solo might have several individuals play it and use those for the numbers (5 players solo it and recommend or not, for a #/5 score).

This Sunday's Theme, in honor of the coming anniversary of D-Day, is World War II.
