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

Yay! WORD WAR! One of my favorite challenges!! I would like to be on the scoreboard site please! :D
Atlanta is going down!!

Considering I've already fired a couple sporting jabs at them (i.e. "Remember October '92", and "How 'bout them Thrashers?"), I guess I've pretty much signed myself up for this again this year.

So come on, Toronto, it's time to relive history and "Stop The Chop" again.

Oh. Lookie what I found.

Sign me up for the sideboard please!

Me gusta this word war :3

I definitely want to be on the scoreboard. :)

I would like to be on the scoreboard!

Me too!

Sign me up for the scoreboard! I love me some Word Wars. :D

I like being on the scoreboard. I think I like the micro-competition of climbing the scoreboard ranks more than the macro-competition of the actual war.

Not that I don't want to see Toronto win.

WAR!!!! LOL I REEEEEELY hope I dont have to tell yall to put me up there again this year... and NANALANTA? We comin for you *insert evil laugh*

OKAY OKAY OKAY.

If we're at war with NaNoLanta . . .

Does that mean we get to call it the Word War of Northern Aggression?

Just out of curiousity, is there going to be an over-all ToNaNo word score and over-all NaNoLanta word score widget-picture-thing on the site too? Or will we have to look elsewhere to see that we are kicking their asses word wise?

Sign me up for the scoreboard! This sounds fun.

Scoreboard sounds cool!
Yes please!
(And we are going to win. Because we're just really cool.)

I'd like to be on the scoreboard as well! Sounds like fun!!

I'd like to be on the scoreboard this year!

I still think our mascot should be the Narwhal. Seriously. :D

Errol! THERE you are! Can you really write a novel while also writing all those songs and drawing all those cartoons, yelling at Debs about where the bridge should go, and raising those two superstar daughters of yours, and ... whatever else you do?

Just to let you Toronto folks know what you're up against, I've got my Model M Space Saver keyboard, pimped up as shown in my avatar, ready to go. I bought it for and used it in NaNoWriMo 2009, which I WON.

Beware, Toronto! You're fighting against an animal that Eats, Shoots, and Leaves! Muuuuuuuuuaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!
