    Here is an interesting scenario to check out. The Vietnam war is cool.

      Isn't The Fight for Freedom Chris's story?

        Indeed, it is. I guess Paddy gave such an introduction to it in the nominations thread, that DC thought it couldn't be anybody's but his.

          Well, I fixed it as much as I can- apologies to Chrisius... I can't fix it in the poll itself
          -
          unscratchedfoot- why object to it? there's also a finals round in which people can only vote for one...

            No sweat DC
            A proud member of the "Apolyton Story Writers Guild".There are many great stories at the Civ 3 stories forum, do yourself a favour and visit the forum. Lose yourself in one of many epic tales and be inspired to write yourself, as I was.

                  I vote on the merits and I like everyone here.

                    Okay,. just so you know in advance, I'm going to extend the finals round (the next round) to ten days just to ensure that the event gets publicised. DanQ has agreed to post an issue on it.

                      And also, just so you know- I may not be able to start the finals round until next sunday- but believe me- the publicity will be MUCH better... Dan has agreed to do a news item

                        Well congrats to the 4 who are moving on!

                        And Good luck!

                        The next round vote will stay open for 14 days so that everyone has a chance to read (since Dan is putting out a news item for it, I figure that the new readers need more time to read/vote)
