NaNoWriMo Week Three: Monster Mash

I confess, I'm having a hard time with this update. What can I say? Seattle is a juggernaut. It's kind of embarrassing; I'm not used to having a home team that wins. And yet, the Hydroponic Ducks are blowing the competition out of the water. What precisely is the proper etiquette for a beatdown?

As of this writing, the Word Count Scoreboard looks like so:
1. Seattle, Washington: 33,567,417
2. Los Angeles, California: 27,867,290
3. Germany, Europe: 26,704,975
4. London, England: 24,139,001
5. New York City, New York: 23,919,028

In our battle with Atlanta, Seattle continues to trounce A-Town, with an average word-count of 16,279 per Duck. The Atlanta Pandas trail at 14,057 each, giving Seattle a comfortable lead of 2,222. Seattle's still leading in donations, as well, pulling in about $2,500 over New York City's donors.

Of course, there are 11 days left in November, plenty of time for L.A. to catch up. In theory. It's possible, is all I'm saying. Los Angeles currently has 4,067 WriMos active and homed. Surely, they can produce more words than 3,319 Ducks? All those screenwriters? Oh. Um. Nevermind. [Ed.: See, this is where our terrible weather pays off! Enjoy the beach, losers!]
