I know I'm once again revealing my ignorance, but oh, well. I've never been in this forum section before, but I've seen it. My interest has just been sparked, so, what is Genre Wars, and how do I get involved?
^{I've been playing, and it's fun.}

EDIT:

This badge I just got is cool. The description says "Veni, vidi, vici." I looked it up and it's latin for "I came, I saw, I conquered. My question is, what is it for, what'd I do to earn it?

Its a little online strategy game. But its been a long time since I played it.

Try the game out.

Go onto your profile.
Right next to "Groups", there is a tab labeled "Genre Wars".
It is a browser-based game thing. I'm not really sure if people play it any more, but there are bots to keep you amused if you want to try it.

A few people play it, but not many. As for what it is, see the previous two replies.

Sounds fun. Is there anything I would need to download or update to play it?

No, I don't think anything needs to be downloaded. I suck at it so I don't play anymore XD

SikOseph:
It's not very fun. A way to waste time at best.

Actually, I've been playing, and I like it. It is an incredible waste of time, though, you're right.

You have to win 11 battles in a row to get that badge.
Refer to this thread if you wonder how you got/can get a badge.
