Subject: Wiki Chain [2]
Posted by: trident
Date: Mar 23 24
This game is based on the game known as Six Degrees of Wikipedia. Here's how you play the single question version:
1. We start with a prompt such as "apple pie." An author writes up a single question about apple pie and submits it to the queue.
2. The author then looks at the Wikipedia page for apple pie and finds a link to another page. This new page will now be the topic for the next single question. The author who wrote the single question for apple pie will post the new topic on this thread. You should try to make the new topic somewhat removed from the topic before. Instead of picking "tart" or "apple" from the page, try something like "Geoffrey Chaucer," who indeed makes an appearance as a link on the apple pie Wiki page.
3. Another author writes a question about the new topic (Chaucer) and submits it to the queue. The author who posts a topic may not write a question about that topic. Someone else has to write the question for the topic you posted. In other words, you can't write two questions in a row.
4. The game continues on and on. If two players write a question at the same time and post a new topic around the same time, the player who posted first will be the official chain.

The first topic to start off is: Jupiter (planet) An author should write a question about the planet Jupiter, then go to the Wikipedia page and find a link on it. Then post the new topic here! Reply #1. Mar 23 24, 6:25 PM |
