Arcs by genre. This thread differs to the CoHmatoes thread as it links to authors' information (sometimes posters!) instead of reviews. A

Note: I cleaned up some of the formatting and deleted any obviously broken URL tags for the sake of readability. I could not figure out how to fix the bullet color-coding.

2nd Note: I've had some problems when displaying this page while having the "Number of Posts to Show Per Page" set to a high number (in my case, 100 posts per page). This causes a programming error on the forum, leading to non-display due to the large amount of text in the posts. Drop your limit down to 20 posts to work around the issue. -Turg

------------------------------------------------------ Warning --------------------------------------------------------------

This arc contains lowbrow humor. It may contain any or all of the following types of jokes:
Fart, poop, pee, sexual innuendo, inappropriate, socially or politically incorrect or any other
type of joke that is offensive and/or rude. Player discretion is advised.

Author's Life Advice - If you don't like something, it may be smart or prudent to avoid it.
If you go into a store and ask for a pint of chocolate ice cream, don't get mad or put it down when you
get home because it's not vanilla. That would be just silly and frustrating to you and the ice cream.



WN

OK, the finishing touches are done. I have marked the arc "final" and I have officially submitted the arc. Now begins the dreaded waiting!

Win or loose I want to thank all the people that took the time to play my arc and for all the great feedback they provided me. The arc is vastly improved due to you all.

FYI for anyone that has not submitted it yet, when you send in your contest entry you get an "out of office" message back thanking you for your entry.


WN

Ok, I finished up some (hopefully) final tweaks. Still looking for any last minute feedback.


WN

Congratz! To the winners.

Having played the nominated arcs I must say it was an outstanding group of arcs the authors should be proud of them.


WN

This Week's schedule:

Tuesday 6:00pm EST - Dr. A. Contest Arcs

Saturday Noon EST - Dr. A Contest Arcs

Sunday Noon EST - Open Teaming


WN

Supa,

I played your arc yesterday and send you my feedback in game. If you feel like giving mine a try, It is called A Hero in Need...a Friend Indeed.


WN

I spent over ten hours today totally redoing the final mission of this arc. I did it because of some of the feedback I got over the last day or so. I am really happy with the changes made, though since I have added so many details there is always a chance for bugs to sneak in. If you find one please send me a tell in game or a PM (again to avoid spoilers). Thanks to all who have provided me feedback so far, it has been a great help.

WN

Full team yesterday! We ran the following:

Von Story by @Taihao Fuxi Arc ID: 358697 Note - We quit this arc for many reasons including over the top enemies.

For the Beautiful People by @Frozen Burn Arc ID: 367921

Death to Disco! by @Wrong Number Arc ID: 84420


WN

Thanks for playing/reviewing it. I do have to comment (of course...lol).

You listed the arcs offenses as disjointed level range and lowbrow humor.

1) The level range was M1: 30-40, M2: 30-40 and M3: 35-40. The arc was published before you could set the level range so I got it as close as I could. I never thought or noticed the difference until you pointed it out and it took a grand total of 30 seconds to fix and republish.

2) Lowbrow humor as an offense on an arc designed solely to be about lowbrow humor seems, well, unfair. It is clear from the description that the arc is all about lowbrow humor
so I am not sure why of all my arcs you picked it.

For me personally, this is exactly why I no longer request reviews. Having 2 stars deducted from an arcs rating because of something that takes 30 seconds to change and because the arc aptly meets the criteria it sets for itself seems to pointlessly damage the arc's rating to me.


WN

I just realized that I did not post the schedule for this week. We met on Tuesday as mentioned before and as for the rest of the week:

Saturday Noon EST - TBD

Sunday Noon EST - Open Teaming

P.S. - You should not have to wait long for a new arc I am mostly done with another this time featuring Statesman himself and tentatively titled "A Hero in Need...is a Friend Indeed".
