In case anyone does want to join a Word War, we've doing them mostly in the AW Crit Circle room in chat (also used for - duh - the Crit Circles). There is more info on how to get to chat in this thread.
For info on how to get to the Crit Circle room, please look at this post. The link is no longer up at the top of AW, but you can get to it through the thread I mention above. Remember though that the Crit Circle room is essentially a work place and as such is non-moderated at this time. Please use the main chat for basic writing discussions and non-writing fun. Hope this helps and hope to see you there!

Just saw this thread today and it made me smile.
I remember, way back when in a different chat room (Forward Motion, FWIW), back in 2001 when this "game" first started during a midnight session between a friend of mine and one of the site admins (now site owner). It still happens there regularly to the point they added a chat room specifically for that purpose. Warring is particularly popular during November's NaNoWriMo. Ah, memories. Carry on, mights word warriors! Go ye forth and kick word butt!

Sorry, 10T, but I learned at FM that word wars don't do me any good. But do enjoy yourselves.
