The ten step Wikiwander thread...
 
Ok, so the rules of this game are fairly simple. You post two words that could be found as page titles on Wikipedia. By going through links in the page text, you have to reach the second one, starting from the first one, in less than ten links.

If that sounds complicated, let me demonstrate with two randomly chosen words...from "Zebra" to "Salvation Army"

Post your journey like this:

Zebra --> Lord Rothschild
Lord Rothschild --> United Kingdom
United Kingdom --> Christianity
Christianity --> Christian Worship
Christian Worship --> Salvation Army

I WIN!

But yeah, that's how you do it :D Post your journey and two new words for the next person. Its that simple :P

Extra rules:

- Don't use the random page button as a link
- you can switch between english and simple english versions to get different links, but no other languages.
- Links on the page only, not "categories" at the foot of the page


Start playing! :D

EDIT: oops, I didn't post any words to start with XD go from "Hollyoaks" to "Happiness"!

It's not a very easy game, trust me. You need to either get 2 words that are related or have no 'ten step'.

I Laugh at your Misfortune! May 8th, 2009 3:38 PM

>.< fine, ignore the ten step rule. But somebody post here, for god's sake, before I die of lonliness.
