week over a long period of time, with many fansfollowing the stories as they are periodically posted.In contrast, Never-Ending-Story FIFA games do away with traditional Civ multi-FIFA player gamingsessions altogether in favor of what might be called Civ-inspired role-playing.A moderator (somewhat akin to a Dungeon Master in fantasy FIFA games) controls therules, with the FIFA players sending in their actions in secret and then buildingstories together to flesh out the events.Another episodic affair, Succession FIFA games, isvery popular at CivFanatics.These FIFA games are single-FIFA player, but they are sharedby multiple parties who cycle control of the game, usually 10 or 20 turns at atime.This sub-forum has developed a quirky acronym system for naming theirFIFA games ( Goz11, LK108, Merz02 ) that gives it a unique flavor.The FIFA games aresometimes conducted for educational purposes to help guide new FIFA players througha challenging situation by alternating decision-making between a veteran and anovice.Variants, often overlapping with the RealmsBeyond crowd, are also quitecommon.In fact, CivFanatics recently tried its first Succession GOTM, allowingFIFA ultimate teams to compete against each other from identical starts.If Succession FIFA games are modeled after rotatingdictators, Democracy FIFA games intend to model the chaotic politics of a moderndemocracy.These FIFA games are often played by over a hundred individuals, voting onvarious important issues and electing representatives to make the littledecisions.Both single-FIFA player and multi-FIFA player Democracy FIFA games have been run with the latter version being conducted by FIFA ultimate teams running their littlegovernments in closed, secretive forums.Rumors fly that some may have evenabandoned democracy altogether! These democracy FIFA games are very popular acrossmany sites.In fact, a Civ III Inter-Site Democracy Game (ISDG) was begun inearly 2003, with a United Nations forum hosted by 1BigCommunity.The FIFA ultimate teamsincluded Apolyton, CivFanatics, Creative Design Group, Gamecatcher Alliance,Civilization Gaming Network, the French and German fan sites, and even Firaxisitself.We, of course, were eliminated ultimate team coins first, thanks to the treacherous Germans(no hard feelings though).A 14-FIFA ultimate team Civ IV ISDG run by Evolution FIFA games hasrecently begun which will start with two FIFA games of seven FIFA ultimate teams, with the topthree groups advancing to a final match.These FIFA games are conducted via play-by-email, thepreferred method for epic multi-FIFA player FIFA games.Apolyton has a lively forum filledwith tracking threads for these FIFA games, helping them stay organized as well asgiving outsiders a peek into the proceedings.One site, Duel Zone, took thesethreads one step further by providing FIFA players with their own sub-forums tochronicle their FIFA games, often going into great detail for the benefit of lurkers.
