Iron Architect!
While out sweeping the streets one night, your mission scanner emits a loud "BEEP!" You take it out of your pocket, and see the following message hover in front of you, its blue glow reflecting across your face and the nearby buildings:Greetings, Hero! It is I, The CEO of Architect Entertainment! You have been selected to take part in a great task.
I am seeking the most creative and fast-thinking individuals in Paragon City and the Rogue Isles for a very special project: The Iron Architect program.
Participants in the program will be given a secret theme upon which they will have 24 hours to create a story arc in the architect. These arcs will be judged by a panel of eight Supers based on the following criteria:
Creativity
Use of the theme
Playability/Fun
The winner shall win The People's ovation and fame forever! (or until the next Iron Architect Challenge)
If you are interested, come to your local Architect Entertainment building on the evening of Friday June 12, 2009 (7pm EST) and search for the mission "The CEO's Instructions".
The message flickers out, and you once again resume your patrol.
More Details
This idea is still very much in the works (it just came to me in the shower this morning).
However, there are a few things I know I'll need. The first of which are interested would-be Iron Architects to step up to the challenge, and a group of eight players who will be available next Sunday, June 14 to judge the arcs. In the interest of keeping things reasonable for the judges (and since I have no idea how well-received this will be), I'd like to limit the first round's arcs to three missions at most, so we have time to get through them all.
Despite the pomp and flamboyance of The CEO, judging is just for fun, and not meant to be elitist or really say "so-and-so is a better MA author than you". I'm just looking for another fun way to see peoples' creative juices flow.
PLEASE NOTE!: So that judges can bring their favorite toons, Iron Architect judging will be conducted in the RWZ Architect Building on the Test Server. As such, Iron Arcs must be published on Test. You are more than welcome (and in fact encouraged) to also post your missions to the Live servers, so that anyone can play them as part of their regular gameplay experience.
If you are interested in Judging, please reply in the comments with your Character's name, level, and AT. (Since this is in RWZ, judge's characters must be level 35+)
If you are interested in creating an Iron Arc, please reply in the comments as well with your Iron Architect title (e.g. "Iron Architect Crazy Idea" - Xany)
Judging Panel:
1) xany - Soviet Spectre, 50 SS/WP Brute
2) crantz - Benedict Jones, 50 Sonic/Fire Blaster; or Riley Grimm, 50 Emp/Rad Defender

Hopefully you folks are as jazzed about this crazy idea as I am, and we get it to work.
