Interested in combining a game of Civ3 with story writing and NESlike qualities too?

[Metaliturtle]

Well I sure as peaches am!

I'm talking about a Civ3 Diplogame, and I know there are people here just itching to create a team story, one that will feature the skills of every writer, and it will have game saves to coincide with the story so the readers can see what the crap we're writing!

It's a spin-off of PBEM although we could do Online MP if we could get a group together at the same time. Personally I would enjoy this opportunity to play a game of Civ 3 where REAL diplomacy goes down. The idea of a diplogame is NOT beating the other players into submission, it's using awesome strategerie (word borrowed from my president) and diplomacy (diplo... duh ) to create a story that draws readers in.

Didn't I see a thread here about getting more people to come to the stories forum?

Well, You can find stuff out about it here: Civ3 Diplogame?

This promises to be really cool, and I want to see some of you guys playing, it would be interesting to see what kind of nations you guys cook up.

I did a civ story with you a couple of summers ago, turtle. Everyone attacked Italy and you were macedonia and I was persia. It was over in 1 or 2 day cause some other people said like, 'I land half a million soldiers in Italy. Next turn I take over rome."

I don't know man. Trying to ressurect NES's here is like coaxing TootingCommon (spelling might be off a little but just going by the sound of it) from his tomb. Also, I don't know who actually plays civ here. I extremely occasionally fire up my mod for a spin but usually I play Sudden Strike and online chess for tactical challenge.

But all the power to you if you want to. I give you my political support, instead of donating money to kerry to fund his botox and haircut fees.

it's not a NES it's a diplomacy game, it's a story based on a multiplayer civ3 game

We need to gather more players yet, I think right now we just have three, I want to see five people that would be fairly dedicated, then we gotta figure out which versions everyone's running etc.

[unscratchedfoot]

I volunteer to read the story.

[Grandpa Troll]
