Ok, well this will work better if you are talking to the person in the chat or an instant messenger program.

But record your results here! If you wish, you can come in here and say a time you wish to do the war, and see if anyone online at the time will take you up on it (eg. Start at 10 past the hour and go to half past the hour?).

Ok, allow me to explain about word wars.

They are very simple... You need to have two or more people, you decided a time frame (15, 20 minutes, an hour, whatever you want) and you give your starting word counts, write for the same time, and then compare word counts... Whoever gets the most wins... But it is more about adding words to your novel... Nanoers will know Word Wars well... They help to make you write, even if you are uninspired!

I usually find 15 or 20 minutes to be most productive...

Anyway, post your starting counts, finishing counts and what you got in the war... And also who you warred with... The chatroom is a great place to do these!

Trin and I warred for about 1/2 an hour... it was a very confusing war! It was Trin, Pommie and I, and then Pommie had to go after 2 minutes, having added 31 words... And then Trin and I got a little confused as to whether we were continuing, and then we were, and then we weren't... and yeah...
