A Waja War is a type of user held game, and belongs in the such forum. There are many different types of Waja Wars, but the most commonly found ones are Gen 2 Waja Wars. To participate in a Waja War, be sure to read the rules fully and understand them before you begin. In any Waja War, the person who created the thread will offer up Waja(s) - the number depends on the rules, but usually ranges from around 2-3 Wajas - that follow the rules. Rules usually state that only Wajas of a certain generation can participate. More specific Wars regulate marking strength, color, or amount, and also breed and theme. (For example, a Gen 2 Halloween War would only allow Wajas that are second generation and have a color scheme that goes with the Halloween theme.)
The Basics
The basic routine in a Waja War goes like this - offer, claim, offer, claim. One user offers up Wajas, and another user sees a Waja he or she wants, and claims it. The user that claims then puts up his or her own offers, and the cycle continues. Depending on the rules specific to each War, you may need to update your offers by adding a Waja if no one has claimed anything in a day or two or include a requirement for the next user's offers. When adding, it helps people regulating the war if you post a date and the Wajas you are adding to your original offer.
The Claim
When you see a Waja you want, you can claim it by posting which above Waja you would like to claim. (Ex: "I claim the black and red Bane. Offers up in a moment.") After posting, add images and links to the Wajas you want to offer up. This makes it easier for potential claimers to view their details and for moderators to see that your Wajas are within the rules. Some Wars do not specify that you include linked images for your Wajas, but it is highly recommended. Most Wars encourage you to offer 2 or more Wajas, but again, it can be specific to each War.
Follow Through
After you have posted wanting to claim a Waja, Personal Message (PM) the user that owns the Waja so they know you have claimed. Give the user sometime to send over your Waja, which should appear in your transfers. Be sure to occasionally check back at the Waja War thread to see if anyone has claimed. Update your offers within a day or two, or according to the rules of that specific War. When someone does claim, send the Waja over to them.
Stalling
Stalling a War is the term used when a user offers up Wajas, but none of them are claimed and said user does not offer up any new Wajas. Thus the War is stalled, and no one claims anything. The original poster, moderators of the War, or users who watch the thread will eventually PM the user to ask for an additional Waja to be offered. If there is no response, users will usually offer up 'freebie' Wajas that other users may claim in place of the stalling user's Wajas so that the War gets moving again. In this case, the stalling user does not have to give up any Wajas whilst the users giving freebies get nothing in return from their offers. Stalling should be avoided, and is considered inconsiderate and rude.
