Yes I know that is a completely noobish question but I be the noob who asked. So can someone tell me what is Genre Wars?

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

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

I really want to start getting these Badge things. And thanks for the advice!

Thanks again!

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!

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

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.
