Dev's Choice Is Back!

I notice the new Dev's Choice arcs appear on page 2, sorted between the arcs that are both Dev's Choice + Hall of Fame and the arcs that are just Hall of Fame. IDK how feasible this is but I think it would be best if the newly crowned arcs appeared at the very top of the AE list.

 

I have at least some conflict of interest here since I am reasonably friendly with Darmian, the author of the most recent pair of winning arcs.

Homecoming Wiki  - please use it (because it reflects the game in 2020 not 2012) and edit it (because there is lots to do)

Things to do in City of Heroes, sorted by level.   Things to do in City of Villains, sorted by level.   Things only Incarnates can do in City of X.

Why were you kicked from your cross-alignment team? A guide.   A starting alignment flowchart  Travel power opinions

Get rid of the sidekick level malus and the 5-level exemplar power grace.

Looking for SFMA content over multiple arcs? Search for the following under "cranebump." LONG FORM: Ordinary People [3 parts] Investigation of a series of thefts leads you deep into a vengeful plot that threatens all of Paragon City. Will you and Kings Row's "ordinary" heroes be able to stop it? Leviathan [5 parts] The  assassination of a local politician with national aspirations sets off a media frenzy among everyone's favorite reactionary network, NewsAnon. Among their targets? You. Mobius [5 Parts]:  Visions of past, present, and possibility collide, as you and the Autumn Wards unravel the mystery of the 7-year time gap. The Cage Series [3 parts]: The Iron Widow is back! Or...is she? Your vigilante philosophy is put to the test in this tale of shifting loyalties and outright deceit.  The Bleed [3 parts]: Your investigation of arcane fissures in IP leads you to uncover a 100-year old secret shrouded in magic, blood, and betrayal. Noble Mettle [2 parts]: A Sky Raider raid on the Paragon Commodities Commission turns from simple kidnapping to a complicated scheme involving mercenaries, "Communists," economics, and chemistry. Fallout (in progress). One Shots:  Of Guns and Asa Ronan; The Tenuous State of Grace; Garden of the Will; Gravity; The Book of Bond's; The Lost Girls; Injustice Systems; Wednesday’s Wyverns; Of ‘Dine and Men; Dark Legacy; Shadow and Silver, The Re-education of Westin Phipps, Potter's Field

All 3 of these deserve nominations:

My 4-star on Arc #2 is being snippy due to last mish of the arc (which is essential as a lead in for Arc #3 [trying not to spoiler it]). They're all 5-star arcs.:-)

Then may I suggest my own Leviathan series (5 parts), as well as the Port Oakes Task Force (2 parts). If you want to go back in time to when I first tried doing this stuff, you can try Ordinary People (3 parts). [end shameless plug]

I submit these arcs for nomination:

  • On the Claw-Tipped Wings of Betrayal #43524 by @JiroIto
  • Hero Corps: Artifact Smuggling #43497 by @PresidentDSG
  • The Fallen Heroes Part 1 #12733 @Sparks McGee

While I'm flattered, Artifact Smuggling was built just to be a SG storyline starter thing, which is why it doesn't even have an ending or explanation... How'd you even find it...?
