So on Wednesday night, Forumwarz Domination: Season 1 ended. Click the link for the final rankings. Congratulations to all the winners!

We’re going to be recording a Forumwarz podcast soon and we’re looking for people to submit questions for us to answer. Please post them in this thread on Flamebate!

As you know, we’re hard at work on Episode 2 right now. There’s still a fair bit to go, but we’ve made a lot of progress and things are really starting to shape up! In Episode 1, after you choose your character you are given a short cinematic introducing that archetype’s storyline. All three classes have a different storyline which continues in Episode 2. We’ve brought back the artists who did the Emo and Troll cinematics, but we’ve lost touch with the Camwhore artist. We are looking for someone who thinks they can imitate the style of the MS-painted camwhore art in all new panels. ...

Our very own BINGEBOT 2015 posted the following important announcement on Flamebate regarding Forumwarz Domination: We’ve been playing domination for 4 months now. And what does that mean? The current season of Domination is ending May 28th! That gives you 3 weeks to get your medals and earn your E-Peen™… WHAAA-? That’s right folks, 3 weeks and then E-Peens™ will be awarded to the top medal winners. All medal counts will be reset and we’ll start a fresh season. It’s safe to say that we’ll be doing this every 4 months to keep things fresh. Also, look forward to “feature week” in the new season, we’ve been discussing them here if you’d like more info. ...

Forumwarz has been reviewed on the Onion’s A.V. Club! It will also be featured in the print version of the paper: At first glance, ForumWarz is just a fantastically offensive satire of the Internet. The interface fits right inside your browser to give you a new browser, crammed with dummied-up Google apps, message boards filled with gibbering morons, and fly-by parodies of technorati like BoingBoing’s Cory Doctorow or supergamer Fatal1ty. It’s an elaborate piss-take on the Web. But ForumWarz’s real accomplishment is in threading an actual story through all the fetishes and so-three-minutes-ago memes. ...

INCIT Updates and Fixes The final results are now displayed much faster The submission count is now listed on screen instead of in the chat box. Submissions are now listed in a random order The random theme in INCIT is now more random. There was a bug that was biasing it towards the “Emo Kid” theme. Removed ugly box on top of the INCIT winners page You can no longer submit weird characters if you prefixed them with valid ones. ...

Introducing INCIT Tonight the big news is we’ve launched a test version of our new mini-game called INCIT. The idea behind the game is pretty simple: you compete with others to create motivational posters in a given theme. Rounds currently last 10 minutes, broken up into Submitting, Voting and Results. In the submitting stage you are given a theme, for example “as an Emo Kid” and a photograph that our mods and admins have painstakingly imported from Flickr. It is then up to you to come up with a creative title and sub-title for the image. ...
