  1. Getting closer to 2 billion inf. With i21 being released on Tuesday, there's a chance the first signature arc will be available, and something may be revealed. If the death is revealed, but not the killer, entries will still be collected but at a higher entry fee. So get your guesses in now!

    There's a post earlier... ahh, might as well look it up.

    I don't see how anything can be done.

    Having the Devs judge what's a story that is worthy of protection is getting the devs in to subjective area that 1) is a dangerous precedent, and 2) would be time-consuming enough to be prohibitive.

    And, perhaps more importantly, every player has the same right to vote, by whatever criteria they choose. Everybody pays the same sub fee every month (currently). If I could tell a player he can't 1-star for "not good enough a farm", then someone could tell me that I can't 1-star for atrociously poor spelling and grammar than hurts my eyes to read.
    But there is a difference between someone playing through an arc, not liking it for whatever reasons, 1-starring it and someone who goes through 2 dozen arcs that are high up on the ratings lists with recognizable global names from the forums, and 1-stars them all without playing them. The latter should have some sort of action taken on them - whether it's a temp ban, or at the very least having their rates wiped.
  4. Congrats - still one of my favorites.
  5. And here's the graph, pretty impressive win there Liz.

  6. I don't mind seeing random guesses for fun, but just a reminder - no guesses are official unless they are in-game e-mailed to me along with the appropriate entry fee.
  7. Technically an hour early, but I don't expect a ton of last minute voters. That's usually just the artists

    Thanks for joining this year, it's been a real treat to see your work improve so much from the start of the year until now. Hope to see you in next years'.

    Will post full results probably tomorrow afternoon. I would have changed the end times to be sooner, but I figured I could at least be consistent on one thing.

    Edit: was more up to date than I thought on my tally. Will wait till tomorrow for the graph though.

    1st - Liz with 52 points
    2nd - Christopher Robin with 36 points
    3rd - Darth Delicious with 27 points

    congrats to all of you, and Liz and CR, I look forward to seeing your entries on the 30th of September
  8. Yep - I've got two characters at the end of their Praetorian careers ready for First Ward, I've got a couple new characters/rerolls ready to run the new lowbie content. And I've got my level 50 T4'd character ready to check out the underground trial... though I suppose I could be running some Keyes if i could find people running it - haven't ran it on live yet at all.
  9. Here's a question - if this station, we'll call it CTS (Cancelled too soon), did these re-runs and some of them got decent ratings. Would it be a good idea or bad idea to reboot the series with as many of the original creators as possible, maybe some of the same actors if it was feasible?
  10. Here's the page of a CoX player and excellent cosplayer.
  11. A couple more to add - would love to hear thoughts/comments/suggestions on any of them. Or even just which one is your favorite and why.

    Rise of the Blood Countess by @Elizabeth Bathory

    and

    Small Fears by @Wall of Knight
  12. If you want to expand past sci-fi.

    My So-Called Life
    Freaks and Geeks
    Undeclared
    Undergrads
    Clerks: Animated
    The Critic

    And as far as Sci-Fi is concerned, I enjoyed Earth 2 when it was on.
  13. Signal: Noise #341194 by @The Cheshire Cat should be pretty good. It's a very creepy arc with not a whole lot of fighting, so being a low damage type should be ok. It doesn't get a whole lot of XP, but it's a great story.
  14. Small Fears the trailer is now live! Hope you enjoy it!
  15. Since this has been recently bumped, I figured I'd add a link to the video review I did for this arc. On Your M-Arc #4
  16. August's theme is Oroborous

    The end is the beginning is the end. For the finale the theme is Oroborous - the place, the menders, the past, the future, whatever you see fit for it.


    Rules


    All types of visual art are acceptable for this month's theme. Screenshot manipulations, sketches, graphic design, etc. So long as they incorporate this month's theme into the work.

    1. Use City of Heroes/Villains Characters- This is, afterall, a CoX Fan Art competition, so I expect you guys to keep that in mind. If there's nothing relating to City of Heroes/Villains in your entry, you will be disqualified.

    2. Keep It PG-13- All entries this month must be postable to these boards without a 2 click.

    3. Deadlines- All entries MUST be submitted to this thread by Friday September 30th by Midnight Eastern US time. Voting will begin by Saturday October 1st, held here on the CoH boards. The pieces that I put up for a vote have been personally verified by me, so if you disagree with their qualifications, please take it up with me rather than the artists.

    4. Prizes- The overall winner of the year will be determined this month and receive 100 million inf. Thanks to Draggynn and Amerikatt for their donations to the prize fund.
  17. I thought this was a great video. I still haven't seen all of Cowboy Bebop, only seen those available on the Best Sessions.
  18. I was on a little bit, but generally I've felt that this is VexXxa's thing, the few times I've tried to pull something together haven't worked. So since I didn't see anyone else there, I just let it go.

    It's a somewhat year-long monthly fan art battle that started in January, next month is the finale between the last two artists. You're welcome to join in for fun, but it won't be placed in the voting. The theme is Ouroboros and I will have the thread up this weekend probably.
  20. And the master list is updated - total pot up past 1.7 billion inf!

    This way the list is always different and shows enough to play a whole evening....
    I've made almost this exact suggestion a few times already. Though my suggestion was 3 Dev Choice, 3 Hall of Fame, 3 5-star, 3 4-star, and 3 total random. Since the AE lists 15 arcs per page.

    For her arcs, they needed 4 rates to drop the arc off of 5-star ratings. For mine, they only needed 1.
  23. Thanks for the bump, I'll update the entries later this afternoon or tonight when I can pop on after the servers go back up. Also adjusted the rules slightly since all 8 heroes have been guessed, and clarified how I will be splitting the pot if no one gets both the victim and the culprit.

    He replied to the PM I just sent him and some of the community reps directing them to this thread saying he'll look into it. Hopefully something can be done. If anyone else has received recent multiple 1-star ratings on their story arc, please mention it here in this thread.

    I haven't checked recently, but on my most recent arc - Whack a Mole: Incarnate Edition Lambda sector, I got a 1-star about a week or so ago that dropped me down from 5 stars to 3 stars.
