score war not working?

That's likely. You can only start wars against verified users.

I am struggling to get a Score War happening. On the 360 itself, I can't find any way to set up a Score War against someone on my XBL friend list, even though I know he has played the game.
When I go to the FB app and try to search for his gamertag he doesn't show up, either.
How do I challenge an XBL friend to a score war?

That's likely. You can only start wars against verified users.

If that is the issue, the interface should really be smarter about informing the user WHY there is no create/start button. Right now users are just left confused.

That did fix my issue. I called a buddy and once he linked his stuff a blue check mark appeared over his image and then I could challenge him no problem.

I just checked, even if i try people who seem to be verified (with the blue check) it doesnt work. I also tried with Firefox and explorer with no positive result.

I can't get it to work for me at all either. Firefox and Chrome on Windows 7.

I am a verified user, but I didn't reverify in Blitz. Do I need to do that?

[Bront20]

Ok, I redid my verification, and I still can't get the create to show up.

In other news, why is Blitz proposing Score Wars with strangers when there are friends of mine who I was hoping to have a Score War with currently playing Blitz?
