Right now we're stuck with it. Options are (a) never use that line of dialog; (b) use it when you want the player to "overhear" stuff they probably shouldn't. But mostly (a) for me.

Yep, I have that accounted for, albeit in passing dialog from Cleo. My main issue is I can't see where Marauder himself would be responsible for it.

And I'm actually surprised that the major players in Praetoria, the Praetors and so on, don't have a level 25 version in the AE since the majority of true Gold side play is 1 to 20 (Plus FW/NW of course and that's another issue too!) Having them would have made this a lot easier!

We could take it that she has Washington fingered as a fall guy for a while and that the player's involvement was simply coincidental. She was always skating on thin ice doing what she was doing and would have needed SOME sort of escape route if she wanted to maintain her public status. Anyway, it is what it is. And Mission 4 and 5 were swapped so that the canon narrative worked better! Initially I thought a throwdown with TRN would be a good finale, but it didn't fit the timeline, or the initial peek behind the scenes. That Mission 4 fight is odd though. It's possible to just win it fast, but even a little raise in the difficulty and TRN is a monster.

And there's one other PRACTICAL reason why Cleopatra is perfect for this once you accept her survival is canon. So what could be done was done.

But: However: Anyway. On to plotting the final trilogy. Who knows, might even cross reference Spirals in it!

Welp, I cannot help it if you don't like her! She's actually less annoying to me than Voodoo lady whatsherface in First Ward.

ROFL. Except that:

Well, from my reading of canon, when you do the New Praetorians arc and rescue Marauder, Thanks for grabbing the typos! Getting them now while I have connection. Mind you, the "finale" of this story sort of takes place in the So...yeah.

It can be an issue. I sometimes give allies with a dedicated Rez to extend their usefulness. Players running off and leaving them behind is their problem!

And next on the agenda is the final Gold Side trilogy, Responsibility Loyalist. Which will arrive when it arrives 😛

Right right. I see you, @TerroirNoir2.

With the invasion of Praetoria by Primal Earth forces imminent, Odysseus is attempting to wrap up loose ends for the Resistance. Dominatrix's machinations continue and could affect the War's outcome. [A Praetorian Crusader SFMA prior to the Praetorian war.][Assumes a Resistance outcome for "No Man's Lady".] Arc id: 57197. If there's any typos or whatnot can people let me know because I've been writing this on a tiny laptop while away and using a phone hotspot. So it got a bit fiddly!

Feel free! Not my wheelhouse, LOL.

Well, I'm sure not all the villains we meet along the way are eating popcorn and watching reality TV. Though who knows WHAT Reality TV in COH would be like!

Another bump for something well worth a bump. I don't know how many times I have used the wiki but it's a LOT.

Master of Dr Q = Do the entire thing without travel powers. (ROFL)

This would be nice. I have no idea of how fragile the code is but something like if this happens then boot up Arc 77 immediately. With Arc 77 not visible on the console normally. Then again, how on earth would you vote on an arc if it slides across arcs.

It just keeps on going, doesn't it? Thanks for all the plays!

Hmm, perhaps an option for MMS (who mostly use this) where Group Fly is very definitely PETS ONLY. Otherwise, sorry. It's not nearly as annoying as some other things, looking at you, Fold Space, and unlike Fold Space you can obviously do the Null thing, and it's on you to do it, not the player with Group Fly.

Yay for the Wiki and all the graft @Michiyo puts in for us!

And of course I've been influenced by @cranebump's AEs! How could I not be. And @Ankylosaur too. (Not to mention plenty of others) Plenty of times when you play another writer's AEs you see things and think "how the hell did they manage that?" or "I didn't even know that was IN the AE", never mind the story telling style. We all learn from each other.

You were lucky! When I was testing this the Olympian Guard spawned up across the street on the other side of the map and I did NOT make it to the exit before I was shot out of the sky!

Agreed. I would like there to be a museum of heroes/whatever COV side would be called (or Praet for that matter) that had statues/plaques to say Statesman or Psyche or Galaxy Girl, Dauntless, Night Fox, Atlas in there, with some local blurb. Ideally some of the lesser known ones since the big ones have big statues and so on. It seems odd that there isn't one. (Then again, there's no damn fire stations either!)

I think there should be at least a museum of some kind, a bit like the one depicted in the MCU with Cap's WW2 adventures. As for our lost players and so on? Well, memorial NPCs are there for some. I dunno.
