Give the Champion a tactical bowl of Gumbo. One round, +5 on all actions that overides other bonuses.

I wouldn't really want to give anyone a special advantage, and I believe that any rewards given out should be done so that they make the game more fun for everyone. What if the Champion(s) of each round get to choose the starting location of the next Game? (Remember that if the Game ends with a victory for the Heroes, the whole team is considered to be Champions.)

Woo! Contrary to my expectations throughout the whole game,  I actually won.

So, Nanobones took a dive to dodge and accidentally cracked his skull? A little anticlimactic, but I'll take it.

Put me in the waitlist too!

Canonically, Nanobones was so hyped about murdering you and becoming the Champion that he dove way too deep and disappeared. He likely hit his head on something, drowned, or was swallowed whole by a basking shark.

Game II
Round 1: Cheesetown
Location: Denmark, Wisconsin

What comes to your mind when Wisconsin is mentioned? The mighty cheese industry? The prestigious Green Bay Packers? It's going to be either one or both of those things, because Wisconsin doesn't really have anything else. Certainly not in the sleepy, quiet town of Denmark, which bears no resemblance to the Viking-Kingdom-Turned-Socialist-Drug-Utopia. Denmark, WI, has a population of a little over 2,000, a few roads and buildings, and is identical to the many small towns that are scattered throughout the Mid-west United States.
That changes today.

Today, 10 souls battle for the glory of the Gods, but this time there's a twist; several more are already on their way, ready to jump in as soon as combatants begin to eliminate one another. One of these many contestants will be blessed with a vast array of superhuman abilities, and it will be up to the survivors to stop them. But for now, it's merely a free-for-all as an invisible bell bellows throughout the town, signaling the beginning of the tournament.

Andres steps out of the local fire department donning a Fireproof Suit, stuffed with concealed weapons. A hefty Fire Extinguisher is strapped to the back of his suit. His hair-do puts his luscious golden locks on display and occasionally a green liquid escapes from his maw.
Powder Miner looks down upon the town from a hill, stroking his chin. "This looks like a fine planet to colonize, is it not?" He asks his muscular servant who responds with an affirmative grunt.

Megggas runs through the streets of the town, waving around sugar packets and forceps. "GOD WILL TAKE NO PITY ON YOU SINNERS! ALL OF YOU ARE SINNERS! REPENT OR FACE THE ETERNAL HELLFIRE!" People evacuate the sidewalks to get out of Meggas's way, who dashes through the roads with no regards to traffic. This leads to him getting hit by a pick-up truck going at about 50 miles per hour. Meggas flies across the road and hits the pavement, but instead of lying there hurt or dead, he immediately jumps to his feet, looking no worse than if he had tripped over a rock.

Peradon exits out of an electronics shop decked out like a warrior from a fantasy novel. He jumps around assuming a Kung-Fu stance, ready to pounce on the first combatant he sees. When it's clear that no one has spotted him yet, he gets down on one knee and begins action-rolling away....

Abstract throws away his sandwich wrapper and begins cruising down the street, his leather jacket and jeans combined with his short haircut make it clear that he's a man from a rough place, and he's got the means to take care of business. He mutters to himself, "I will take care of these punks like Vazytiknov took care of the Russian Extra-Stimulus Action Program in the Fall of 2002. Yah."

High Tyrol rides into town on his Horse, removing a Cigar from his mouth and exhaling. "Let's see how many revolutionary scum we can kill today Monsieur," he says to his trusted mount as he takes his Musket out of its holster.

Tomasque stands up on a table in Gun Show, a local restaurant. "Ladies and Gentlemen of America, I promise you that I am the best candidate running for President and I will prove this by winning the Wiki-Warfare Grand Tournament. I will leave my opponents like I left that sonva'bitch in Vietnam who threw a grenade at me...he won't be competing in this, that's for sure, heh heh..." Tomasque exits the restaurant to a round of unsure and awkward applause.

Ukranian Ranger is substituting for a Science Teacher at the Denmark Public High School when the Bell sounds. "That's all for today kids. Read pages 80 through 102 in the textbook tonight. You have a free period until your next class." He briskly walks out; one of the students peeks his head out of the door. "Mr. Ranger, why are you in such a hurry?" Ranger stops for a second and then responds, "I have something to prove. For myself. For science." He grips his metallic right hand and exits the school.

Execute/Dumbo exits a clothing store wearing a new fine fur coat; a permanent scowl marking his face as if everything that he could see was going to try and stab him in the back. "Yuri," he says to his subject, an aristocrat in a Thick Woolen Coat, "I believe it's time for me to take a new throne." The Boyar bows, "Of course it is your majesty, and I happily pledge you my services."

"That's some big cheese." Pikorge stares at the main attraction of Denmark, a cheese named 'Steve's Cheese', a 2-and-a-half block of cheese. "Damn. Oh wait, that's the bell. Gotta' go." Pikorge leaves, readying his sword for battle, still thinking about all that cheese. Just sitting there.

"Well! This seems all fine and dandy for enslaving and colonizing. A quaint little place. JAFFA! I want you to shoot anyone besides me who gets too close. I'm going to look for a good stick or something."
Order the Jaffa to shoot anyone who ventures too close, look for something to smack someone with in the immediate vicinity. A stick?

(So I can basically nuke the whole town?  Awesome!  Though, after doing some quick research, it doesn't seem like Denmark, Wisconsin has much "Sin of Lust" going on.  It would probably do more damage if I used it to target a brothel or something, but then I would have to try to get other players to come to the same place.  Oh well, if I use the judgement fire early enough while there are still plenty of targets in town, I might kill somebody.)

"I WARNED YOU!  WHEN YOUR JUDGEMENT COMES, KNOW THAT I WARNED ALL OF YOU!"

Use my exploration skills to find an entrance to the sewer and head down.  Once I'm underground, call the Wrath of God Upon the Sodomites upon the entire town.

If I can't find a way to the sewers and someone tries to kill me, then instead run into heavy traffic to escape my pursuers.

Guess Wikipedia wasn't feeling like vehicular combat this round.
I went through hundreds of random articles, but no boats nor aircraft showed up, not even some car model that was around in the earlier part of the twentieth century. The closest article I got was giving High tyrol a Horse from a Dragoon Colonel.

You can definitely duel wield a Switchblade and a Revolver. However, Switchblades are even thinner than regular knives, so they can not block bullets. Even if a bullet did hit your switchblade, which is very unlikely, the switchblade would most likely break and the bullet would pass through and hit you anyways.
Armed Robbery is not a part of Economics. Maybe you could write a paper on the effects of Robbery on either a macro or micro level for Economics, but actually doing it does not activate your bonus.
You are from Azerbaijan, which is not part of Russia, although it was under the U.S.S.R. and shares a border from Russia. So you are not Russian, but it's close enough that you can keep saying 'Da' over and over, which I'm sure people do in every Post-Soviet country. Or just to be funny. Da, comrade.

Children are my allies and AbstractTraitorHero is stealing from children so they can't afford food so they'll die and I'll avenge their deaths by killing AbstractTraitorHero with my pistol!
You can not just declare someone to be your Ally, the position of Allies is agreed upon by both parties; if you do get any Allies, they will be listed under Assets. Allies at the moment include Powder Miner's Jaffa Servant and Execute's Loyal Boyar Subject.

Perhaps the champion could get the option of choosing any Wikipedia article with at least 10 other Wikipedia links in it.  Then the next time they play, they just get a randomly chosen 5 of those links as their Wikipedia articles.  Just an idea.
I wouldn't really want to give anyone a special advantage, and I believe that any rewards given out should be done so that they make the game more fun for everyone. What if the Champion(s) of each round get to choose the starting location of the next Game? (Remember that if the Game ends with a victory for the Heroes, the whole team is considered to be Champions.)

Ohh I like the idea of some sort of meta mechanic involving links found on a wiki article. Perhaps when you kill someone you can choose one of their pages to absorb a random linked article? Just one example.

A famous wikipedia game is to try to find links from one article to another in the fewest jumps, would be perhaps appropriate to incorperate it if GM believes so, too.

I like the location idea, perhaps it should not be a 1-to-1 choose location, but perhaps narrowing it in some way.
