The character I played it with wasn't quite as on-point as @cranebump's, but here's who I used:

This is a fun arc, start to finish. FWIW, I don't think the "Ocelot rule" really applies here when it's made clear at the start that your character is of a certain...archetype. BTW, the moment it went from being merely great to one of my all-time favorites was this: Perfect. :)

Maybe I like catching up with my BFF Ms. Liberty. You ever think of that? Seriously, though. Most of the time I just pop into the Excelsior Teleportation Zone to train, because I already have it macro'd for quick movement between zones. But sometimes it's nice to go back to Atlas Park, just because.

Dance for me, volunteers who keep this game running at no charge! Dance!

The only problem, which I realized only recently, is that Statesman was never the trainer in AP. It was always Ms. Liberty, wasn't it? So making him the trainer in Echo:AP doesn't really fit the known history. And that's part of why I'm not all that invested in Statesman—my toons never really interacted with him (except for saving his butt in the original Maria Jenkins arc).

Can you imagine what the final mission would have been like, if that PUG managed to get that far? (There's no way they managed to get that far.) Really, they did @Snarky a favor by showing their incompetence before he wasted any more time with them.

Had you read the thread, you might have seen that someone posted a link to that very AMA. https://forums.homecomingservers.com/topic/54934-do-you-want-statesman-to-return/#findComment-692180

Come to think of it—there are a lot of statues around. And they're all remarkably clean. Are there no pigeons at all in Paragon City?

I’d rather have Back Alley Brawler where Ms. Liberty is standing. Doesn’t seem fair that he’s relegated to a far corner (a…back alley?) of AP while she’s in both AP and IP. But Statesman should be in Echo:AP, at the least.

There are a lot of great story ideas in this thread. Anyone want to write them up in AE? @Darmian? @cranebump? @Ankylosaur? ("Are you crazy? I'm way too busy!" messages incoming in 3...2...1...)

Exhibit #1 that the forum "reputation" statistic doesn't mean what it says it means:

I figured it was something like that. When in doubt, assume AE limitations.

I just played this (great arc, BTW), and had trouble with that too. That room with the platforms confuses the heck out of NPCs, I think. Also:

You might find this thread useful:

I was finally able to get this toon (whose name I had on one of the Live servers) his name without a period or dash in it:
