WORD WAR 2011!
This year, if you've been in chat, you probably already know who our word war competition this year is, so we're not going to make the rest of you wait until the Kick-Off this year!
We'll be completely annihilati-- err, we'll be competing against Atlanta this year.
The rules are a little different from years previous -- it's going to be total word count and total donations -- we're going to have our jars for donations out at every single event, and keep your eyes peeled for some fundraising initiatives! :) If you can't donate monetarily, though, donate some words to our cause! :D
We will be keeping a scoreboard on our site, as in past years, so if you'd like to be included on there so that anyone using the site for our chat can see where you stand -- let us know in this thread!
Also, NaNoLanta has started a smack talk thread! Now, I'm not going to tell you exactly where it is, but we could sorely use some defence over there... or here, for that matter! :D
Questions? Comments? Manatees? Leave them here or get in touch with me! :D
Re: WORD WAR 2011!
I'd like to be on the ToNaNo scoreboard!
I find it's motivational: I like to check in and see who's ahead of me, then write 'til I pass them on the board :D
Re: WORD WAR 2011!
Just a clarification: Everyone writing NaNo this year in our region is automatically signed up!
Now, this doesn't mean we're expecting every single person to hit 50 000 (though that would be awesome!) and we're not going to be disappointed if you don't. But every word you write this year will help us in our efforts against the evil pandas! :D
Re: WORD WAR 2011!
Evil!
Just to echo Drewiepoo here - it is a total war. We're going to go based off the Global Word Count scoreboard. This isn't an average war for highest average word count, so literally *every word counts*.
And y'all will need 'em.
Re: WORD WAR 2011!
Oh, we're SO taking you down!
And in case anyone's wondering: the site-wide wordcount scoreboards and the fundraising scoreboards are two of the features that we're still waiting on after the new site launch, so we won't actually be able to track Toronto/Atlanta's war until then. Should be up soon!
Re: WORD WAR 2011!
Everyone's in? I guess we know what this means... RELEASE THE CRIMMY!!!
Re: WORD WAR 2011!
There are pandas, and then there are /DROPBEARS/. I'm pretty sure they're the latter.
Re: WORD WAR 2011!
Pandas, Dylan. Pandas. Not Koalas. Wow, I'm really churning out Greatest Hits these days...

Reporting for duty!
