Gif war

A gif war is a flame war done entirely with images. Although JPEGs and PNGs are allowed, GIF is preferable because it allows animation. A gif war can be executed using regular images or image macros.

There are only two ways to end a gif war:

1. One of the sides concedes that he has been pwned.
2. Fifty Hitler Post

Note: This entry is filed under Drama-generating techniques, but it really is a Drama-escalating technique.

The Game

It took time to find a picture of a dead penguin, but it was worth it to further the campaign of a gif war.

Soon after the coining of the phrase "gif war" (believed to be coined by jameth), the game appeared. Here are the rules for the gifwars community, which is dedicated to the gif war game:

1. One of the moderators posts a picture (only a few people can post entries).
2. You reply to the post with a picture that "beats" that picture. Examples:
   1. A picture of a fat chick beats a picture of a malnourished child.
   2. A picture of a Stairmaster 2000 beats the picture of the fat chick.
   3. A picture of a bucket of water beats a picture of a forest fire.
   4. A picture of someone peeing in a river beats the picture of the bucket of water.
   5. A picture of a dead penguin beats a picture of a live penguin.
   6. Et cetera.
3. Even though this community is called GIF Wars, the pictures do not have to be GIFs. They can be anything.
4. A GIF War will go on as long as it has to.
5. If someone posts something like Chuck Norris or any other old, unfunny meme they're to be immediately b&.
