UPDATE, MARCH 1ST: Server's back up
Short version:

- Enjoy the intro. You don't even need an account to start (although you won't get that far without one.)
- If you sign up, post your username in the thread to get invited to Fruit Fucker (you can also send me a TubMail begging for an invite but it might take a bit longer).

What the hell is this?
Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the Internet. In fact, Forumwarz is the Internet...in game form.
Magical dragon-faeries? Flaxen-hair'd elflords? Dank scary dungeons, reminiscent of Grandpa's basement? Kids' stuff. In Forumwarz, you can pwn trolls in ridiculous web forums...buy hacked warez from shady Russian websites...or upgrade your skills with breast implants, malt liquor and antidepressants.
Assume the role of one of three Internet personas: Camwhore, Troll or Emo Kid, each with their own special attacks, abilities and personalities.
Play in story mode and pwn your way through a dense world of mystery, intrigue and Internet idiocy. Or test your skillz against others in various player-versus-player challenges.
It's kinda hard to explain. Easier to just give it a test drive...you don't even need to sign up! Click here to play right away!
Uhh... sorry?
Imagine an online web-based RPG based on all the memes you've learned through spending
way too much time on the Internet. Rather than being a human/elf/gnome, you're a Camwhore, a Troll or an Emo. Instead of battling goblins, you troll forum threads. Instead of life, XP and mana, you have Ego, Cred and Sexiness/Douchebaggery/Tears. It's also got a great conversation/dialog system reminiscent of classic adventure games (or the new Sam and Max games, if you're into those.) Mix with a healthy dose of NSFW and tounge-in-cheek, wrap it in one of the slickest web UIs I've ever seen in my life, and you've got Forumwarz.
OK, sounds interesting... what do I do to play?
Just go to
www.forumwarz.com and click the Start Playing button. You don't even need to sign up for an account to play the intro, although you will need one to progress through the game.
Is there any kind of Penny Arcade clan?
Sure thing. We're
the Fruit Fuckers.. For fastest access, post a request in the thread and we'll get you hooked up (you can also send me a request but it might take longer.)
Any other information about the game?
There's a pretty great
interview with one of the creators that explains some of the influences and development process. You can also check out the in-game
wiki,
forums and
blog if you want.
I dunno...
I thought it sounded kinda dopey too. But seriously, go to the site, play through the intro and see if you're not intrigued enough to sign up for an account; it's one of the slickest and most convincing sign-up experiences I've ever seen, and I'm having a fun time so far.
I go by Ag
entMunroe, if anyone wants to look me up. Good luck trolling the internets...

man what
It's been a long day. Fixed now.
(ParadoxControl is my user name, originality also for the win!)
My user name is redhalo.
I haven't created one yet.
Name suggestions?
EDIT: I re-watched Dodgeball recently and for some reason Purple Cobras comes to mind. Other suggestions are welcome.
Seems interesting so far. It has that kind of annoying Carlos Mencia-ish sense of humor, though.
I think everything changes; I went with a Camwhore and I get this:
I get to look at boobies all the time as I post bra pics, so it's not all bad.

Everyone who's posted has been invited.
I'm imaginative right?
(I'm mad at limited battles per day)
And I really am considering spending real money on getting those cheats. Screw only being able to to 4 forums a day!
I did. I can't click on shit, nothing does anything and nothing pops up.
Hmm...make sure you have javascript turned on, I guess. I'm playing in Firefox fine.
It is turned on. I want to know what I'm supposed to do at this point. Am I supposed to search for something specific? Click something three times? What?
Fuck, it won't even let me register so I can ask them what the fuck is wrong. That's fucking retarded.
If you have any wacky extensions or config changes in Firefox, that's probably the problem. You could try it in a different browser to see what happens.
If you still have problems, the contact form is at http://www.forumwarz.com/contact, and it doesn't require a registration.
Are you using the latest version of firefox?
edit: holy shit that was fast
I did remove all of my extensions and still nothing. I turned off the popup blocker. Nothing. Fuck this, it's not worth my time.
SageinaRage: I can search, and that's as far as I get.
*clicky*
..."Bash Keyboard With Helmet."
I'm sold. Basil hooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Fruit Fuckers represent, I'm all yours.
Dunno what to tell you then, the intro works fine in Safari, IE7 and FF2 for me.
Plz to be inviting VelsperTheCat? Emo Kids need love too...or something.
edit:: Whoops, except for Velsper, apparently.
So awesome. I am in the game and already in the klan under the name I got during Tube's last name changes, vegeta_666. Level 3 camwhore go!
