Answer 29

\[\huge\color{orange}{Orange~War}\]
A time of chaos and confusion erupts all over the lands of OpenStudy which is blanketed in heavy orange fog. Our web warriors who are led by e.mccormick fight for our valuable SmartScores. They strive for long hours until they win. They bring back our \(\color{goldenrod}{SmartScore}\) and distribute it according to our ranks. After a while the enemies gain courage and steal the \(\color{goldenrod}{SmartScore}\) again. Chaos and confusion erupts all over the land of OpenStudy. Once again the web warriors set out in the orange fog to fight a war. A war blinded in orange and enforced with hope. No matter what happens. We will always fight the \(\color{orange}{Orange~War!}~(Until~it~gets~fixed~completely.)\)

Answer 40

yes i know how to fight against it so i'm a veteran too

Answer 41

@AlexandervonHumboldt2
You claim that you only had one orange war and then you say you're a veteran. That doesn't match.

Answer 42

Um...why's it called "survivor"? Nobody's computer 'dies'. :p

Answer 43

People's hearts die when they can't see their SS.

Answer 44

But not mine. :)

Answer 45

._.

Answer 46

\(Will~ there~ be~ a\) \(\Huge\color{limegreen}{\text{Green War}}\) \(next?\)

Answer 47

Never.

Answer 48

Nope, because the layer beneath everyone's ss is actually the red layer (but it's called orange war). Even when your ss changes color, the red layer is still beneath it.

Answer 49

Answer 50

We will see about it. Except that we may never see the green wars in the first place.
