    Looks really cool. I do have 1 question thought: Can our fiction be on anything SMAC related, or does it have to deal with a specific topic or theme, or time frame?

    'There is a greater darkness than the one we fight. It is the darkness of the soul that has lost its way. The war we fight is not against powers and principalities, it is against chaos and despair. Greater than the death of flesh is the death of hope, the death of dreams. Against this peril we can never surrender. The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.'"

      let me put this on on bold

      There is no specific topic, just anything smac related

      of course remember that you can only use smac/smac-x factions

        Thanks, I just wanted to make sure.

          What language does one have to write in? Must it be english or is it also possible to write in german. (I assume not, but well assuming is not knowing). The rules say nothing about this.

              What is the difference between "Creativity" and "Originality"?

                creativity is one thing, originality is another

                while the two can go together, you can be original and not be as creative, and vice versa

                  since some people have said that they are working on stories, the deadline is extended until May 13, 2001

                    I vote that Edgecrusher or whatever the first respondee was called should get a prize whatever. I think it's a little unfair if he's the only one to reply within the initial deadline and then a flood of fiction pushes him out of the medal places.

                      I agree with SMAC.
                      Which side are we on? We're on the side of the demons, Chief. We are evil men in the gardens of paradise, sent by the forces of death to spread devastation and destruction wherever we go. I'm surprised you didn't know that. --Saul Tigh

                        I guess that's okay with me as well. Which part of the contest is he in? Can I still try and get the prize for Europe?

                          I don't suppose there would be anything wrong with posting your entry on this forum as well would there? Maybe after the judging is done.
