Put your pitchforks down about the sudden flood of Wiki Wars games here, unless you want at least one article to be guaranteed to be related to pitchforks.

Welcome to OhBoyAnotherWikiWarsGame™! Because a lot of Wiki War games have been popping up recently, I've decided to create my own. Wiki War games involve players fighting to complete various objectives, let's get into game modes and mechanics.

I hope I don't get something bad, like useless radioactive powers.

Roll to Multitask, seeking new players.
Yeah sorry, someone blew up a street in my state and took the internet down for multiple days with it.
This really happened. 2020 was wild.

So how precisely does Wiki Wars work?

So how precisely does Wiki Wars work?
Basically, all the players are given five random wiki articles, (At first they focused entirely on wikipedia, but then sub-wikis[stuff like TVTropes, Gamepedias, and various Wikias] became a bigger focus) and those articles are used to decide things such as the players items, allied NPCs, bonuses, and abilities.
This game is also using the avatar system which has been used twice before, where your first article is used to decide what/who you are playing as, and is one of the biggest contributors in terms of equipment and abilities.

A lot of actions are decided based on the result of a d10 being rolled, when making an attack against someone else the difference between the two rolls(the attackers and their targets) is used to decide how effective or ineffective the attack is, if the attackers roll is too much lower than the defenders than the defender can make a free counter attack.

This game seems to be using a system similar to random Wikia War where the wikis are chosen from a big, visible list rather than just being mysteriously decided upon. Though this game is taking active suggestions for wikis to pull from where as Wikia War has adding a new wiki to the list as the winners reward.


Speaking of the wiki list 0cra, here's some suggestions
The SCP Foundation: It's basically one big wiki, even being labeled as such in the URL. It even comes with a random SCP button right on the front page to give you a random article(because a good number of the pages are stuff like short stories instead), though there's things such as the GoIs that you might want to look into as well for your searching. Regardless, you'll definitely get some unique results out of this one.

Official Enter the Gungeon Wiki: This will give you a nice supply of simple stuff, as well as some silly, and some particularly powerful. A good wiki for getting lots of creatures, weapons, abilities and items.

Mario Wiki: I'm honestly not sure there's a wiki out there with more articles. There probably is, but still, this one will provide you with a massive amount of different articles, and I guarantee you will be able to use a large majority of them.

So would I be right to assume you didn't like my suggestions then?

Oh, I didn't see them initially.

Everyone who wanted to join and suggest wikis have themselves and their wikis in.

Yeah, I thought that would be the case, since I put a horizontal rule on it to make it look tidy, but then I realized that since I don't have a sig it would just look like it's my sig.
