Miner Wars Story Rules:

• The story must strictly adhere to the Miner Wars universe described in MW Encyclopedia.
• The story has to be in written in English.
• The length of the story may be a short story (7,500 words max) or a novelette (7,500-17,500 words).
• You must incorporate a reasonable amount of elements from the MW Encyclopedia, such as characters and events depicted therein.
• The general mood and atmosphere of the story should resemble the setting of Miner Wars 2081.
• The story can take part either before or after the great Solar Event of 2070, however, keep in mind that pre-Solar Event and post-Solar Event times are really different (prior to 2070 is a futuristic setting, but not post-apocalyptic!).

Miner Wars Wiki – How to Participate

Anyone can participate in Miner Wars Wiki and add more information – you can add characters, world and historical events and other interesting content. All you have to do is to get accustomed to the Miner Wars universe, (by reading the MW Encyclopedia), and start submitting content to MW Wikipedia. The content on wiki is divided into “official” and “unofficial” submissions. Anyone can add wiki articles as unofficial submissions and from these, our team will pick the ones eligible to become official (therefore, accepted to become a part of Miner Wars universe). The criteria for acceptance as official is, 1) quality of writing, 2) consistency with the rest of the game universe, 3) no collision with our future plans, (ie. you invented a character of your own, however, it is in conflict with the campaign storyline we are in progress of implementing).
