It's a great arc. Keep it in the list until you are confident it will stay at 5 stars. At that time you can pick another of your 4 star arcs to replace it.

Based on my experience, I needed to edit the arc on the computer where I made the changes to the customs for the changes to impact a published arc. If I do not edit the arc, there seems to be no effect.

As a warning, if you edit an arc on a computer that does not have the latest customs, changes may be lost or wiped out.

I hope this helps.

I agree with your recommendation of "Mercytown". It is great!

I just played "Freaks, Geeks and Men in Black" and it is lots of fun. I loved your contact dialog. The arc was full of details. Great job!

This arc is so well done. It is filled with details and has a good story. What I love best about it, is that it is visually stunning. I felt like I was in a whole new world created by the author.

Great job!

I created this list as a way to help us find and play arcs and I am very glad to have your arc in the list.

You have @Zamuel to thank you for submitting it. I sent you the PM so you would know your arc was here.

If you know of any arcs that fit the criteria stated in the first post, you can post them here and they will be added to the list.

I look forward to playing the ones listed that I haven't played yet.

I am so glad you are playing and enjoying these arcs. I plan to play arcs off this list as well

I have been thinking a lot about this and I have modified the rules. The reason why I had originally specified that the arc must be from current posters on this board was to be sure that the support and feedback went to someone who is around to appreciate and enjoy it, not because I felt only people who post on the board deserve support.

So, I changed the initial post to state that the arc can be from any current MA author. If you are sure the author is currently active, you can suggest his or her arc even if he or she has never posted on a message board. It would be great if you let non-posting authors know about this forum. I found the support and help I got here extremely valuable.

I hope this thread gives us a way to find and play excellent arcs and provide feedback to people who really care.

That's really sweet, but your arc is tons of fun even without that.

Keep your win. You earned it.

Thanks for posting this. You made me smile after a long day at work

I don't plan on deleting or unpublishing arcs. I just am planning to wait and see what happens before making many changes. Who knows, maybe I will get extra space so I can make winged monkeys.

Yes but that's not it this time. It was changed and working for a while. What I believe happened is that I edited this arc on my laptop which does not have the customs with bios. For some reason, even though I am very careful never to save when I edit on my laptop, this caused the loss.

So live and learn. Apparently, even if you do not save, you should never edit your arcs on a PC where you don't have the customs saved.

Thanks for your support

Thanks for taking the time to play and review this arc.

Below are some brief responses.

Yup and they aren't even there as allies.

---
I believe this mission has no allies, so perhaps that's the normal XP?

The pamphlet was there because the Wizard of OZ in the book and the movie in Kansas is Professor Marvel and to give you a clue that he is involved. If I ever get motivated to work on arcs, I will think of how to change this.

There are NO ambushes in the mission at all. I have no idea how or why this happened to you.

You are the 2nd to mention this so maybe one day I will add one here. Right now I am feeling extremely demotivated.

OK something is really messed up here because I changed the boss per LJs suggesion to fire and gravity I believe.

They are there for flavor to simulate Munchkins. They are not there as allies at all. The patrol is for dialog only. They are not supposed to fight but if hostiles get near them they will. If I could have made them people, I would have. The XP nerf on these non-allies leaves me very de-motivated in general and on this arc in particular.

The mix is to show the Wicked One's power to collect and control evil and to give a lowbie player a mixed play experience. I would have made flying monkeys if I had space. The Clockwork are there for the ones that fly (the closest I could get to winged monkeys).

There were no ambushes in that mission.

For me they are key to the arc. They attempt to match the beginning of the Wizard of OZ.

I gave each a unique description before the arc was even entered in the contest when PW pointed this out to me. Another change lost . UPDATE: I just edited, made no change and republished and the custom descriptions came back.

The Tuatha are just in their own habitat. No plot element intended. The Winter Horde are there because they represent coldness of heart, the Spectral Pirates because they represent fear. As to the Brood, some better explanation is needed as I believe you are the 4th person to mention something like this about them.


Honestly at the moment I am really not motivated much to fix up arcs. This arc took months of work overall and the XP hit it took in mission 1 is insane. Especially because the Minikins are not there as allies.

Thanks for taking the time to review and provide detailed comments.
