In “iStart a Fan War,” Carly and the gang are invited to host a panel at WebiCon, but the session is derailed when they are put on the spot by die-hard fans who demand to know whether Freddie is dating Carly or Sam and the “Creddie” and “Seddie” sides break out into an all-out fanboy riot.
Meanwhile, Spencer earns the adoration of fellow WebiCon attendees when he arrives impeccably costumed as an avatar from his favorite medieval-themed online video game.
However, Spencer’s euphoria is cut short when he comes face-to-face with his online nemesis, Aspartamay (Black).
Surrounded by an army of costumed WebiCon devotees, the two competitors launch a fan war like none other featuring their most impressive “wizard powers” and most biting lyrical warfare in the form of an operatic battle opus.

Additionally, beginning Monday, Nov. 15, iCarly.com will feature a brand-new game, “Tower of Defense,” inspired by the fictional online video game World of Warlords featured in the movie. In “Tower of Defense,” players must protect their fort from being pillaged by barbarians.
