Hey I need an excuse to not leave my room for the next hour or so, if anyone wants to do an impromptu audio confessional I'm sitting in the MS Discord voice channel

[Xalxe]

My DMs are also open for confessionals

[racefan12]

I don't think he means that kind of confessional

[Silverclaw]

I don't know, he very well could!

Challenge code words are out via PM, please let me know if you didn't receive one. Just over six hours left to get your list in!

[D3f3nd3r]

About to post the challenge but I wanted to clarify that

you may not send quotes of conversations you have with players or with me to other players

. Paraphrasing is okay but direct-quoting more than a few words is not.

Challenge 1: The Wiki Game

Let’s get started with a challenge! Your first challenge is a classic that I ran the last time I modded an anonymous game on here, the Wiki Game! The game can be practiced at your own free will at this link: http://www.thewikigame.com/ (or, I suppose, by randomly generating Wikipedia pages). However, the challenge will not require use of that website. When you choose to begin, you will submit a Google Form that will keep track of your time and link you to the actual challenge.

When you get there, you’ll see three pairs of Wikipedia pages. Using only Wikipedia links found on each page, you must find a way to navigate from the starting page to the ending page. To submit, you will list all of the pages in the path for each pair, in order, in the Google Form, stopping the clock. Either the physical links or the full titles of the pages can be given. Whoever completes the most chains correctly in the fastest time (regardless of the length of the chains) will win the challenge, and will get the first chance to save another player. From there, players will be ranked by number of correct chains and then time to submit.

Use of Wikipedia is obviously encouraged (and you’re free to take notes either on a computer or on paper), however no other outside resources are allowed. Based on results the last time I ran this challenge, I would not expect this to take longer than an hour.

EXAMPLE: If the pages you need to connect are Stephen Colbert and Ural Mountains, a chain could be:
Stephen Colbert
Washington, D.C.
United States
Russian Empire
Ural Mountains

Since this is the first round, you’ll have 48 hours ((expired on 2021-04-25 20:00:00)) to begin the challenge. You will start the clock by completing this form. Please let me know if you have any questions or issues!

hmm, I sense mod collusion!

Linking to wikipedia before this challenge.

[D3f3nd3r]

As long as you can get to the list of lists of lists from somewhere else (or that's the start for one of the prompts) then that's fair game!

[D3f3nd3r]

I’ve been asked so uh, feel free to talk about the challenge in general but don’t discuss the actual pages in the challenge or anything like that.

[MURDERCAT]

How are people feeling about their first challenge performance?

[Noraa]

How are people feeling about their first challenge performance?

uh. bad. but super happy its over and stuff

[xofelf]

Well.... the practice thing having a time limit made me feel very bad. Actually doing the challenge was a breeze in comparison. Which probably means bad, it's bad.

[Noraa]

I was exactly the opposite lol. With the timer, I was like AHA excuse to fail. Without the timer was like T.T NOE EXCUSE LEFT

[Cephrir]

i think i probably did ok which is probably good considering i don't talk to anyone ^^

[NotAJumbleOfNumbers]

ugh i feel horrible about my performance

[MURDERCAT]

I feel I did middling for the record, kind of unsure where the bar will be but I expect to be near it
