Now that the whole world has started writing the War Hats have been activated. You will notice how your hat has changed from the generic black to a bright, hostile looking green, except Christina's, whose is pink. I don't know what happened there. This means you're in the war. Your wordcounts and donations will be pitched against those of Tallahassee, Florida.
This is where you can fling some good natured competition around and generally show off your amazing wordcount. You know you want to!
If you would also like to give them some competitive taunting here's their thread: http://www.nanowrimo.org/eng/node/3346037 Please don't post in any of their other threads and likewise we'll keep ours occupied too.
There's only one rule: Play nice. No rude, or derogatory trash-talk should occur. This is all in FUN!
Let's show them how we can kick their butts!

Adelaide, prepare to be shown up!
I've got thousands of words of first-class garbage written! And I will bury you with it. You will weep, whether at the sheer volume of my output or its truly horrendous quality is yet to be determined, but weep you shall. And I shall laugh, because your tears are delicious to me.
Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I am very nearly three days ahead of schedule and I plan to keep up this pace all month long. Can you? ;D
Much love,

I'll pump out enough low class garbage to MAKE YOU CRY! (not the word count, the actual writing).

Adelaide: Wrimos in this region have written 928,037 words (7,138 per Wrimo with wordcount)
Tallahassee: Wrimos in this region have written 585,470 words (6,295 per Wrimo with wordcount)
That's a difference of 342,567 (843 per Wrimo with wordcount!) C'mon Adelaide! We can do it!

Well, first of all, it's an honor to have you post in our forum.
Second of all, you must be destroyed. It's nothing personal.
We're not called RAdelaide for nothing, you know.

To the Floridonians my word count is low, my intelligence is lower and I already want to cry looking at what I've written... and, hmm, you know this was meant to be demoralising to your side... yet I find myself demoralised... I'm not sure how this was meant to work...

That's 2,679 more words to add to our awesome Adelaide tally, that is currently higher than Tallahassee! Don't give up just yet SanityBites! Go for a walk, get some inspiration, and kick the writers block out of your head! We can do it!

We've gotta start cranking out those words, people!
Tallahassee has broken into 11k as their average. We're just about to hit 12k. We need to open that gap people! WRITE WRITE WRITE WRITE!

You guys might be ahead with the words, but guess who's second in their category for donations?
That's right. US.
And I don't see an "Adelaide" at number one, so I guess that means we're ahead.
Hmm. Fancy that. :)

HAhahaha...
oh, I'm sorry, you were serious.
I didn't realise donations had anything to do with the word count? Oh that's right - it doesn't. Preeeeety sure Adelaide are still over 500,000 words in front. Donations can come later, when we have time and our word counts are done.
Adelaide FTW!

Donations keep the site alive year after year. That is also very important, because without them, we wouldn't even be HAVING a word war this year.

Actually, more people from Adelaide have donated. While we have a smaller amount, a larger percentage of people have donated. It just means we're generally poorer/stingier XD
