Check out my Paragon City Emergency Broadcasting System arc, but you'll need a team because it has GMs in the first mish! =) Just an FYI- the Repeat Offenders folks have been marking their mishes with 7662 so you can find them in the search just by entering 7662 in the search field.

Yeah, I need to play with the MA stuff more. I've been still running "normal" content, and want to get a better feel for it. I like that.

BTW could Paragon Studios get Google to set up a MA search engine, just a thought. http://www.masearch.somee.com/ http://cohmissionreview.com/ The former is an ASP thing and runs like a dog (BTW great captcha on this post Meaningful Hussies, sounds like a great SG Name) Here are a couple of MA review sites I found, I’m sure there are more out there.

Once I have mine run through one more group, I'll be publishing it non-DRAFT, too. :-) I agree, the audience ranking is pretty poor. I'd avoid 1s and 2s, probably, but anything higher is a mixed bag. (For the record, I didn't rank any farm mish I ran over a 3.) I'll make a note of your reference here, thanks. I found the Dev’s Choice awards were pretty good, the couple I’ve done.

Just last night I was in the mood to do some good AE missions, so I looked into the content that had multiple 5-star ratings. Silly me! Farms and some of the crappiest arcs I've ever seen in my life were the result. How does this stuff get 5 stars? Friends/SG mates and multiple accounts, most likely. I have encountered good arcs. Almost anything by @Hertz is going to be good. "Sea City" was a terrific arc that had zero plays in the two-weeks of its published existence before I found it. You know, that might be the key. Favoriting architects whose work you like so their new stuff pops up for you when it's available. People sometimes suggest on the forums that all rewards should be removed from MA. Or maybe just leave the Inf' but give nothing else. That'd be an excellent way to make sure very few people ever use it. That’s an interesting article.
