I think it should be recommended that they be civ related, but I bet there are a ton of potentially great stories that would be written if they relaxed on this rule. I mean you could argue almost any story to have some sort of connection to civ anyway. Like your history class story, though I haven'y read it Im sure you could say something along the lines of 'its about a boy in a history class where he is learning about civilization' or something like that.

Actually, I recommended the rule change, if I wanted to I could post my story that came in third in a writing contest and got me $400, but it is through the perspective of a drunk dog. The history class story was basically just a quotation of everything that was said in a 5 minute period of my history class.First Master, Banan-Abbot of the Nana-stary, and Arch-Nan of the Order of the Sacred Banana.

response to question:
You can write non-civ stories (though it has to be someone related or might be considered just spam or stuff that should be in OT) but the civ-related rule is for the contest because it is th official civ stories contest, not the official anything stories contestComment

Ah, welcome back civman

actaully the stories wouldn't belong in the OT, but the Stories/Diplo forum

i'm a new member of the forum, but not new to civ 3, and i am a seasoned veteran of civ 2. i have written before, and what i want to know is can a story be about a fictional game of civ 3, or do u actually have to play it? cos i'd really like to write one about a "perfect" scenario in the civ 3 environment, that i have never actually played. can i do this?
feedback grateful

it can be a story on a game you've played, a game you wish you'd played, a combination of games, or whatever. I think as long as it has something to do with Civ, it's allowed.Comment

MIK Yeah, Believe me when I tell you that it only has to be argueably related to civ... The story I've been writing is pretty much some historical/science fiction that was inspired by the civilization game concept. Its my masterpiece...

Do the stories have to be Civ 3 civilization related? Because I've got future stories (still on Earth with humans) and I've got stories about galactic civilization and such. What about those?Click here if you're having trouble sleeping.
