sponazgul Posted February 17 Posted February 17 53 minutes ago, ZamuelNow said: For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special, we ran: @Fist of Equals' Allegedly, Your Death (65297). Vigilante justice in a caped crusade! Got some PUG interest despite the competing calls from the seasonal event. Pending on the week, it might be best to plan for one arc if it's running long or the group is running low on time. NEXT TIME... MASS returns to Indomitable to finish the Heart of Words series on March 2. The next one will likely be Excelsior but I need to find out if I'm going to move it forward an hour or only run from 2-3PM. Thanks for running Allegedly, Your Death ! I got some good feedback from the team, which encouraged me to set the minimum level for the missions across the board to 41. Just to clarify, my handle in-game is First of Equals, not Fist of Equals (but people can find the arc easily enough by name or arc number) Thank you again, I was delighted that one of my arcs appeared in the MASS. 1

ZamuelNow Posted February 17 Author Posted February 17 Asked about available times and the first Mission Architect Sunday Special for Excelsior will be Sunday, March 16 at 1-3 PM in the RWZ. This is an hour earlier than when it's run on other servers in order to avoid disrupting the MSR.

ZamuelNow Posted March 2 Author Posted March 2 For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special, we ran: @Valevard's Heart of Words: Conclusion (58415). A pocket dimensional climax of memory! In after arc discussion, was noting that there's a noticeable lack of shorter story based arcs which makes running two for MASS difficult. I'll see just what I manage to find because NEXT TIME... MASS has its first run on Excelsior on March 16. Due to the raid schedule, MASS will be an hour early at 1-3PM Eastern. Also, I believe this is after Daylight Savings Time for the US.

ZamuelNow Posted March 16 Author Posted March 16 Excelsior MASS was canceled. Despite being a large shard, only one person showed up. That person left for the MSR. While I was alerted of an event at 3PM (thus trying to run at an earlier time) if there's also a MSR at 1PM then MASS simply isn't feasible on the shard. I will eventually try again but it'll be a while. Another wrinkle is that the new RWZ AE location, despite how nice it is, can be difficult for some people to find. NEXT TIME... MASS returns to Indomitable on April 6 at the normal 2PM time.

Clave Dark 5 Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Damn that's really sad. Starting to wonder if other shards ARE better to play on to avoid the "number go up" mindlessness, but sadly I usually play during the overnight hours (night shifter), so I can't team on any other shard...

ZamuelNow Posted March 19 Author Posted March 19 As a night shifter, it's not impossible Reunion could work. But every shard has its own culture. What hours, BTW?

Police Woman Posted March 19 Posted March 19 Most weekends I'm tied up in the daytime, but I stopped by the RWZ AE at 330pm Eastern last Sunday; I know it was way past the event time but I was hoping to catch anyone who was still running story arcs. Maybe another time!

ZamuelNow Posted April 6 Author Posted April 6 (edited) For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special, we ran: @PW's Two Tickets to Westerly (#1678). A young couple in peril! While small, Indomitable has remained relatively consistent. Don't know if it's due to people who know me there or if it catches attention since it isn't competing against as much on the shard. We'll see because... NEXT TIME... MASS has its first run on Reunion on April 20.

ZamuelNow Posted April 20 Author Posted April 20 We concluded the first Reunion edition of the Mission Architect Sunday Special! Everyone had fun and just what exciting arcs were run today? @Poltergeist Prince's AE Radios: Paralegal Work for Chris Jenkins (66810). Assorted legal assistance! Small turnout but definitely had big "nice to see something in AE that's not a farm" energy. And there were farmers in Pocket D so coexisting is possible. I wonder if numbers will increase for these on the next loop. NEXT TIME... MASS returns to Indomitable on May 4. 1 1 AE Arcs: Search for @ZamuelNow Dhahabu Kingdom and the Indelible Curse of Hate [60044] and Dhahabu Kingdom and the Unfathomable Nightmare of Sand [61528] Consideration of Knowledge [65341]
ZamuelNow Posted Sunday at 09:17 PM Author Posted Sunday at 09:17 PM (edited) For today's Mission Architect Sunday Special, we ran: @cranebump's Of Guns and Asa Ronan (41018). Villainous crime on the Family's dime! @Darmian's Spirals: Part One (55109). A Resistance mystery goldside! Indomitable went the distance with two beefy arcs. The team also got to provide realtime feedback for the author during play. We also got to see a way of handling contact exit text in a way the whole team can view it. We'll see if any new tips and tricks are revealed because... NEXT TIME... MASS has its first run on Victory on May 18. After Victory, MASS will have completed a rotation of the shards!
