Well the log function on Shoddy maybe exciting and a great tool it does not give anyone the near awesomness of a video warstory.
Now for those who dont have a way to record programs here is a link to registered free hypercams, all you have to do is follow the instructions on the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y4xrUAQDgDU.
Then you have a free hypercam 2 thats registered and can begin recording warstory battles.
Nothing's really stopping you from posting a video warstory, so long as it's just not a recorded battle. There always has to be a story. Maybe I'll update the warstory sticky.
