Snowball Fight

A war is a large, organized snowball fight between two or more opposing parties. During a war, penguins take sides with the group of their choosing, usually by changing colors and/or clothing, and throw snowballs at the opposing groups. These wars usually happen in the Dojo on the server Mammoth.

Some notable examples can be found here.

Variations and Gimmicks
Many variants also appear during the war, such as having a group "princess" or "prince", who is often pretending to be trapped. For example, at one war, a "princess" was trapped in fictional quicksand and had to be rescued by saying a "spell", which in reality, was more like a password. Other times there are "spies" that change their clothing to match an opposing group, then sneak into that group to pick up "information" about that team.
