all i know is the zombies might be losing now but we will rule the world

I'm guessing just so they can monitor the most popular genre really

An addictive web-based version of rock-paper-scissors, to put it in the lowest possible terms.

And how do you play? And or access it? Cause I dont see anything that looks like a rock-paper-scissors type game.

Well, go to the genre wars tab in your profile page. It should have something to help you get set up. By rock-paper-scissors, I meant each type of unit is good against one or two other units.
I suppose that kind of kills my comparison, but you should get the idea.

Besides having a major brain ache I think I get it. :)

A boring strategy browser game that has you control a genre army that no one plays.

Everyone has different opinions man. Some could be addicted some may not like it.

By that I think he meant that the number of people actually playing it has dropped significantly since its inception.
Still worth checking out for a bit, though.

Yeah I get ya man.

I think I'll start playing this, sounds more intresting now.

genre wars is pretty weird but the least escapist could do is make it a little better :/

Its like... hmm... a... uh...

A browser based turn based strategy role playing battle game?

It was on the escapist as a web game with stupidly high hype and the ability to turn people into hypocrites.

The game managed that by getting people who normally didn't buy into the idiocy of pirates vs ninjas vs robots vs etc to pick sides.

It then died after like two weeks.

In its defense, I preferred it to March Mayhem what was just fucking stupid.

I thought the same thing about a lot of the content on this website, but I'm happy to say that serendipity is an almost daily occurence here, right to the point where I want to become a regular Escapist contributor and BY GAWD I WILL BE!

Not really, since the outcome is very predictable, especially when fighting bots.

Hm the announcement is now over two months old so I'm not sure if it's still a priority. I wouldn't call two months "soon"...

Good attitude lad. I am not a big fan of Genre Wars. I just wanted the ten badge thing.

Ah, but that's now.
Back when I wrote that, I was hooked.
And the bots are a more recent addition.
