You may be aware that Jon/Composr and I spent our last three Nanos in Hawaii and were MLs there for the previous two. When we left, our Wrimos suggested that Hawaii have a regional war with whatever region we ended up in. So Los Angeles, consider yourself challenged!
Hawaii is a lot smaller in participants than LA, so the war will be judged by average words per participant. A secondary part of the war will be over the percentage of Wrimos who have donated. So far they are beating the pants off us with a 9.28% donation rate!
I hope this will be a fun competition and a good way to keep us all motivated to keep writing! I will be posting a similar thread to this in the Hawaii forum, so feel free to go greet our opponents there.

I must be in an eternal struggle. I have listed that I'm both California:Los Angeles and Hawaii.
At least whatever words I write become neutral :-P
Sounds ironic how the two regions that I'm a part of are at war with each other. Well, you can call me Switzerland :)

We should be. Hawaii needs a better transportation system. He should Governate and annex Hawaii as an extension of the Catalina and Channel Islands :-x
