during my rant earlier tonight, I apologize. I'm not entirely sure what it was all about, but now, after everything went blank for a few minutes, I seem to
be back to normal.

... Seriously, that was... I stood up and just fell over, and now I'm fine? What the hell?

Arc Name: CMV - Team Version


Arc ID: 64817


Morality: Neutral


Length: Very Long (5 missions)


Creator: @MicroShade


Difficulty Level: Very Difficult

Synopsis: Outside forces are pushing Malta into taking over Crey and guess who has to step into the fray and stop them?

Author's Notes: This is the team version of the arc. It doesn't have as much polish, as the tamer version,
and I've had to rip out all the clues, but I does now fit into the 100% on Live. Any assistance to polish the text would be appreciated as I do need to
put a little bit more text in.

Warning: Attempting this on anything other then Heroic and/or without a team is foolhardy and insane. This WILL reduce you to a pulp...


Consider yourself warned. And there are a few more nastier versions of this possible.

DOOM is now live for the pickings. 5 missions total, level tagged at 41-54 (auto SK to 41 if under).

There are multiple EB's and AV's (if you play high enough difficulty) so crank that diff and bring some friends!

Arc Name: CMV - Solo Version

Arc ID: 59913

Morality: Neutral

Length: Very Long (5 missions)

Creator: @MicroShade

Difficulty Level: Moderate - Difficult (?)

Synopsis: Outside forces are pushing Malta into taking over Crey and guess who has to step into the fray and stop them?

Author's Notes: This is the tamer version of the arc, but I personally view it as slightly 'bugged' in
that it currently sits at 101.35% on live while it is only 99.5% on Test. So any assistance to trim the text would be appreciated. If I get enough interest
I'll post the hard version.

Also known, unfortunately not officially, as the "Ultimate Curbstomp of Ultimate Destiny".

Fight alongside hero and villian alike to escape the evil alien grasp of the Collector!

This maze is very dark and contains multiple rescuable heroes and villians. You may be eaten by a Baphomet.

"Cha la, head cha la..."

This one seems like an obvious Gatesong

Supertramp "Take the Long Way home"

So you think you're a Romeo

playing a part in a picture-show

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

'Cus you're the joke of the neighborhood

Why should you care if you're feeling good

Take the long way home

Take the long way home

But there are times that you feel you're part of the scenery

aaaall the greenery is comin' down, boy

And then your wife seems to think you're part of the

furniture ,ooohhh it's peculiar, she used to be so nice.

When lonely days turn to lonely nights

you take a trip to the city lights

And take the long way home

Take the long way home

You never see what you want to see

Forever playing to the gallery

You take the long way home

Take the long way home

And when you're up on the stage, it's so unbelievable,

oooohhh, unforgettable, how they adore you,

But then your wife seems to think you're losing your sanity,

oh, calamity, is there no way out?

ooohh, Yea!!

Does it feel that your life's become a catastrophe?

Oooohh, it has to be for you to grow, boy.

When you look through the years and see what you could

have been oh, what might have been,

if you'd had more time.

So, when the day comes to settle down,

Who's to blame if you're not around?

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

You took the long way home

Long way home..

Long way home..

Long way home..

Depeche Mode "Wrong"

I was born with the wrong sign

In the wrong house

With the wrong ascendancy

I took the wrong road

That led to the wrong tendencies

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time

For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme

On the wrong day of the wrong week

I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong

Wrong

There's something wrong with me chemically

Something wrong with me inherently

The wrong mix in the wrong genes

I reached the wrong ends by the wrong means

It was the wrong plan

In the wrong hands

With the wrong theory for the wrong man

The wrong lies, on the wrong vibes

The wrong questions with the wrong replies

Wrong

Wrong

I was marching to the wrong drum

With the wrong scum

Pissing out the wrong energy

Using all the wrong lines

And the wrong signs

With the wrong intensity

I was on the wrong page of the wrong book

With the wrong rendition of the wrong hook

Made the wrong move, every wrong night

With the wrong tune played till it sounded right yeah

Wrong

Wrong

Too long

Wrong

I was born with the wrong sign

In the wrong house

With the wrong ascendancy

I took the wrong road

That led to the wrong tendencies

I was in the wrong place at the wrong time

For the wrong reason and the wrong rhyme

On the wrong day of the wrong week

I used the wrong method with the wrong technique

Wrong

Arc Name: A Series of Unfortunate Malfunctions

Arc ID: 42935

Morality: Heroic

Creator: @Sofaspud

Difficulty Level: Moderate - Difficult

Synopsis: Perhaps it's not the smartest idea to work on new robot designs under the influence of caffeine, sugar, and all-too-little
sleep. And the worst part? Crey's tech support just plain sucks.

Estimated Time to Play: 20 minutes -- 1 mission, small map

Notes: I'll let the mission tell its own story (it does have one), but I'll note now that it is an unintentional but very
effective KILLER. I've toned it down a bit based on feedback. Credit to Ops for the title, which I suspect is the main reason it's catching
attention.

My first effort. Spent all day on it. Three mission arc, please tear it apart for me?

Arc Name: To Aid the Future

Arc ID: 59436

Morality: Nuetral

Creator: @Niteflier

Difficulty Level: Easy to Moderate

Synopsis:

Have you ever wondered who's going to take your place when you retire? How about a chance to teach a few things, (Or gain a few favors) with a few
youngsters?

Estimated Time to Play: 20-30 Min

I'm trying to find a sailor moon fanfic in which Usagi does a reset finding herself all the way back at the beginning of the series...In fact it was a
fairly recent fic at that. When I read it there were only 3-4 chapters...And IIRC it may have been in one of the rec threads here...

I can't recall the title or the author of this one and I recall it being in Fanfiction.net.

Hope this rings a bell....
