There are a couple of different sorts of word wars. The one taking place mostly on the nanowrimo chat, as described above.
The other one is the regional word wars some places, like the Uk engage in yearly (I don't know if other places do this or if it's just a Uk thing.) Where one region challenge the other regions to a word war spanning the whole month. (With plenty of friendly banter about the other regions progress and so on, lots of fun.) Participants sign up to represent their region and every couple of days, plus at the end of the event a final average word count of the world war participants of a region is calculated. The region with the highest average wins this year's word war.
Currently Cambridge is in the lead of the uk regional world war, the smarmy bastards. :P
