All of us with get something with a very obscure application that we will try to take advantage of, but few will succeed.

I'm the only one that voted Deathmatch? Hm.

In.

Hopefully I'll be able to do more in this game than throw bombs around and help cause a riot. :p

Sorry. You should've told me if there was a problem.

I'm In.

Nah it's okay, I was making a joke about how I just hid for pretty much the whole game so far instead of trying to ingratiate myself with the authorities.

Oh! Okay, sorry, was a smidge hard to tell, but that was my bad for assuming. :)

Well, we're out of space for the first match, but there's always room in the waitlist.

Alright, with the players in and the decision made, I'm going to get on with setting up the Episode now. While I do, I should note that I follow a similar method of sheet design to Virtual Mortality(so, roll a d4, that's how many articles you get from the first wiki, the rest are from the second), and also, that I choose my wikis at random from a list, so I'd be interested in suggestions for new additions to said list.

You're on. The map and gamemode have been rolled and things are shaping up to be... interesting. Also, there's a good chance you will not be on the waitlist for long.

Some statistics no one cares about: According to Wikipedia's Statistics page, there are 5,925,613 content pages. That means there's a 1 in almost 6 million chance to get any specific Wikipedia article, not counting the multiple article system + the roll that determines how many articles are from Wikipedia. Granted, a lot of that is stuff that wouldn't be relevant in Wiki Wars.

Now when did I say any articles where guaranteed to be from wikipedia? Wikipedia shows up several times on my wiki list, but it's still only a chance that you get it. Granted however, I feel like I may have made the chance too low.

For reference, not a single player got wikipedia as one of their wikis. I think I'm gonna like, double the number of wikipedias on the list.

Edit: Also, still looking for recommendations for wikis to add to the list.

It's on there already. My list is pretty much all video games really. There's a couple 'general purpose' wikis in there too(TV Tropes, Superpower Wiki, Villains Wiki), and a couple cartoons, but it's mostly videogames.

Yeah, though uh, don't count on ever getting it as a starter wiki, because like, even having as many as two Stand Users in one sheet at the start of the game is stretching it, and that's practically all that would be coming out of it.

Edit: Also, all the articles have now been rolled. It's just a matter of writing up the Intro post for the first Episode. Here's a little teaser of what to suspect, you'll find this Episode to be quite a bit more cooperative than the matches you're used to in these.

Looking forward to the game.

Hey, how about Magic:The Gathering wiki? Do you have that one? If not, it could provide a neat source of avatars and abilities and companions and stuff.

And while I'm suggesting card games, what about YuGiOh? Or Duel Masters, or Bakugan?
