The Wikipedia Game
« on: March 22, 2015, 07:17:59 pm »
Welcome! Today we shall journey across the great expanse of Wikipedia!

The rules are simple, the poster above you has to choose a Wikipedia page you have to get to. We will call it the "chosen page". You start off at whatever page is given from the "Random page" button on the main page. From there, you can only use links inside that page to get to the chosen page, so no using the sidebar or search feature!

Describe the journey however you like, something as simple as listing the order of pages you used to get to the chosen page, using screenshots, or even somehow creating an elaborate story detailing the dangers of Wikipedia are all acceptable. Remember to give a chosen page for the next adventurer who is bold enough to face the perilous landscape known as Wikipedia.

I am the first poster, so there is no chosen page I can journey to. :(

Here is the chosen page for the first player: Sparta.
Click the random page button and begin your journey!

Choose another chosen page, for the next forum game player that is extremely bored daring adventurer. It is required to keep the thread alive.

I started with the deep bodied pipefish.

en.wikipedia.org


Which wasn't horrible, it just meant I had to poke through Australia's horrible censorship laws for a while.

en.wikipedia.org




https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Censorship_in_Australia
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_banned_video_games_in_Australia

Fortunately for me, and unfortunately for Australia, pretty much every genre is represented in the ban list.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Role-playing_video_game
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roguelike


I have a little booyah too, though I'm pretty surprised about it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Today%27s_Lonely_Fool
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tracy_Lawrence
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Las_Vegas
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clark_County,_Nevada
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Valley,_Nevada

Up next:

Gone. Cheers guys.
