I'd like to thank everyone that took the time out to offer up nominations for this year's Player's Choice Awards. This is the smallest awards since I started doing these. I hope to be able to do this again next year but I imagine that will be partly determined by the amount of support given to the Mission Architect system in general. But that's a topic for another day. Today it's about the best arcs of the year in four categories: Heroic/Vigilante, Rogue/Villainous, Comedy, and Lowbie.

Rules

  • Anyone can vote
  • You can vote for one category, all categories, or anything in between.
  • You must make a 1st place choice and a 2nd place choice or your vote will not count.
  • Arcs gain 2 points for each 1st place choice and 1 point for each 2nd place choice. The arc with the most points wins for that category.
  • Authors may vote in a category with their own arc, but they only get a single 2nd choice vote. They can vote for their own arc.
  • In the case of a tie, the arc with the most 1st choices will win.
  • Voting is now closed

I intend to play as many of these as I can and vote as I go.

So to start off, here's my votes for the comedy arcs:

1st: Crime is Art and Art is Crime #517859 by @Twoflower
2nd: Dating Ms Liberty Isn't Easy #464550 by @Jinkobi

My play time is always limited, but with the help of my 47th level Bots/Dark MM and my same-leveled Energy/SR stalker,I'm really hoping to make it through the entire list, so wish me luck!

So I take a break from the game, a couple of months, then I get drawn to it thanks to the autumn aura (yeah I know....), and when I log in, I receive a couple of /tells about my nominated arc! Looks like I should take breaks more often
Anyway, thank you for organizing this and thank you PW for nominating me!

FYI - I can't seem to get The Ouroboros Chronicles: the Tales of Nemesis (#522236) to load for me. Anyone else have this problem? It might've been broken by a recent patch.

@Doctor Gemini

Arc #271637 - Welcome to M.A.G.I. - An alternative first story arc for magic origin heroes. At Hero Registration you heard the jokes about Azuria always losing things. When she loses the entire M.A.G.I. vault, you are chosen to find it.

Best Villainous - tough choice by the way, very good arcs and very different from each other.

1. Grunty McFisterson
2. Interdimensional Headache

 

Posted

Best Heroic

1. Mosaic of Shattered Dreams
2. Legacy of A Rogue

Best Comedy

2. Whack a Mole - I just wasn't personally fond of the type of comedy in those arcs, and I can be a little shameless once in a while, right?
