WWN Grand Battle

WWN Grand Battle was a non-canon Grand Battle, hosted on Wars World News Boards, the forums of a fansite of the turn-based strategy series Advance Wars. It was created by Dragon Fogel, who was inspired by the original The Grand Battle, in which he had entered himself. The idea was well received among the Wars World News (abbreviated WWN) community and thus the roster of the usual eight participants was quickly filled. But even though enthousiasm and morale were high at the start, it didn't last quite as long as was intended. At February 23, 2010, the first WWN Grand Battle was discontinued due to multiple players dropping out in the first round. In response, Dragon Fogel hosted a second edition of the WWN Grand Battle: WWN Grand Battle II, which is still active to date.

Supporting Characters
The MC - WWN Grand Battle's orchestrator, or at least assumed so. The MC not only provided the contestants with all the information they needed to know, but also entertained the audience present in the arena that the battlefields were superimposed upon.

Bloom Lensflare - A shemale human cyborg controlled by Narts. This character was rejected for participation initially. Narts responded to that by writing a non-canon story about the exploits of Bloom around the setting of this Grand Battle.

Jugger - A robot sentry guarding the laboratory in the first arena. Its name and behaviour were a reference to an IRC bot of the same name, which in itself was named after a CO from Advance Wars: Dual Strike.

Round 1: The Empty Battlefield
Dead Character: Chase Andrews Thompson Jr.

This round's setting was modeled after the final mission of Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising. However, all of the soldiers and other people present had been mysteriously removed, leaving a desolate, blasted battlefield littered with warfare equipment. A noteable feature in this area was the Deathray, a highly powerful laser cannon. All eight characters were placed quite some distance apart from both the Deathray and each other. The battlefield's size proved to be a huge issue during the game, as the players' writings caused it to inflate to gigantic proportions, encompassing cities, highways, laboratory complexes, gigantic cannons and even a subway system. All of this additionally written-in material was a major factor for the game's discontinuation, since it caused all characters to essentially get lost in exploring the arena instead of battling each other.

Chase Andrews Thompson Jr. was elected to die during this round, largely attributed to monkymeet's continued inactivity that culminated in her dropping out of the game. The entire Grand Battle was discontinued before Chase was actually written out, however.
