Wikipedia Search Game

Game play

This is a game that you play with other members using Wikipedia Articles and Links from those Articles...

The object of the game is to find a way to get from one article, to a specific article that is apparently unrelated

For example...
To get to taco to grid, you would have to link: Tacos to, San Antonio to, Texas to, The National Basketball Association (NBA) to, Fifth Avenue to, Grid Plan to, Grid

Judging
Judging will be done ONLY by the Assigned Judges of the Game. Each Players responding post to the Challenge will be counted and double checked (to make sure the links are actually linked together). Once done, one of the Judges will announce the winner...

Assigned Judges

1. Lobster (Game Creator)
2. Mizuio Ken (Game Moderator)
3. Husky (Game Moderator)

The Winners
Whoever has the least amount of links (If you are playing competitively) would be the winner for the challenge...

The Winner would receive one point for the Leaderboard and will also be able to pick the next two articles for the Next Challenge.

thats why I am asking. I probably shoulda asked in forum questions though.

This actually seems pretty fun and shouldn't be spam infested like other games.

 

[skullkidd]

There's a snag - everyone could do changes to an article and insert new links and noone would notice I guess.
