Yeah, some wiki's can be real bad with articles that just don't really work without a whole lot of reimagining(looks frustratedly at Jojo wiki) Seriously, as popular as the series is, the wiki is... very arguable in how 'worth the effort' it really is.

I just switch to another wiki if I feel like I'm having inadequate luck with what I'm getting via random pages.

Also, 3 character sheets are finished - working on the fourth one.

I don't feel this is mine, but I feel like mine is giving you a bit of trouble too. Sorry if that's the case.

I don't know if it would be my sheet, but I could definitely see at least a couple of the wiki's I submitted causing such problems, so I feel the need to apologize just in case.

Also, here's a thing; if you ever feel your results are getting too samey, go into incognito mode, that should help take away the things that bias you toward articles you've had before.

Also please PM me when the game starts, I don't check threads very often these days, at least, until I'm actively posting in it.

Everyone will get PMed with their full sheets and other starting info, sheets will also be posted in the main thread but any info that could be used to gain an unfair advantage (like stuff meant to be secret) will be censored - the actual sheets get PMed.

i did not think things through when I was giving hops a fighter jet article, because then there's the issue of finding an arena large enough for planes to be viable but small enough for things to be reasonable for people on foot

gonna reroll that sheet's third article, after that I'll return to getting an arena

XD Well, I love my sheet. Although I'm not actually familiar with the particular character; oh, well, that's the RNG for you! I knew there was only a slim chance of there being one I knew anyways.

ROUND 1 TURN 0
Battle of Fucking
Arena map

Meanwhile in a pocket dimension, two mysterious figures watch over the small Austrian village...

We have the power to bring people from countless sources of fiction into one dimension, to conjure reality-defying objects on a whim, to control time, and shape individual locations to match fictional ones, but we can't find anywhere to hold yet another interdimensional gladiator battle? What is this?

Could we have any worse luck? We've already went through hundreds of possible things that weren't suitable to bring into some good ol' Wiki Wars, and now we're completely unable to find an arena.

You know what? Screw this, you can host it in Fucking for all I care.

A short period of time later, a ship commander, a swordsman, a marine, a sniper, a president, a viking, a stick figure, and at least 22 various mooks walk into a village, and 7 of them are tasked with retreiving the Fucking Sign. However, there is only one Fucking Sign, so only one person (and any of their allies) are allowed to escape with it. Also, someone moved the Fucking Sign to the center of the town and not near one of the roads where it should be.


OBJECTIVE INFO: The Fucking Sign is currently in the center of the village.

Here's a few Fucking facts:
- Population: A little over 100.
- No, really. See those brown shapes on the map? They are individual houses.
- As of the beginning of this year, it has been renamed Fugging. Considering that it's pronounced the same, I don't know why they even bothered.

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.

Leon Magnus drives down the presumably dirt road on his Harley, south into Fucking, and looks west at the road that joins the one he's on. He spots a large group of mooks on the northwest road, as well as a few unique fighters in the crowd. He orders his giant Scythid to engage with the Boxing Kangaroo, then guns his bike to charge into the middle of the crowd of chieftains, swinging his sword Chaltier forward to take advantage of his mounted momentum.

"Welp, time to get Fucking. Hothead, climb on, Flopsie, get us some recon!"

Climb inside the Goliath, order the Eldari to climb on top while the FlopFlop flies ahead to scout. Begin traveling towards the center of town in my Goliath

Matt Horner commands the Boxing Kangaroo to step up it’s game and defeat the Scythid. Matt Horner then empowers the chieftains with a well timed “Kill him!” Greatly increasing their combat efficiency. Matt Horner then commands the Lava lizard and Protecters to protect him and bravely runs to the center shouting profanities.
