Welcome to Wikipedia Warfare! This is a player versus player quest where your goal is to defeat all other players with the powers, items, skills, and allied NPCs given to you based on randomly selected Wikipedia articles.How does it work?Step 1: You sign up by picking a name and (importantly) a tripcode so I can tell who wants to do what and prevent other players from making you do obviously suicidal actions via impersonation. You should use this when declaring your actions. I know this board has IDs, but using a tripcode will help verify identity if this ends up spanning multiple threads or if you're posting from different devices.Step 2: Once I get enough players, I'll go on Wikipedia and go through random articles until every player gets 5 articles that could have any potential for interesting gameplay situations (aka i'm fudging away random filler articles about literal whos and shit nobody cares about). Afterwards, the game will begin, and you'll all be located somewhere also determined by a suitable random Wikipedia article.You also get a bonus article if you kill or otherwise eliminate another player from the game.Step 3: Players will post their actions in the thread (which can be anything they can reasonably do within approximately 10 seconds), and if there's any possible uncertainty to whatever you're doing, I'll roll a d6 to see how well the action(s) succeed or fail, adding positive or negative modifiers depending on the situation. As a rule of thumb, rolling a 1 is a critical failure, 2 is a regular failure, 3 is a minor success, 4 is a normal success, 5 is a major success, and 6 is an overshoot. In the case of an attack, the target must roll to dodge, which is the same as rolling for an action except if you roll a 3 or below you get some level of injury (and likely death if the attack was sufficiently powerful and/or the dice roll was particularly low), with modifiers applying for factors like distance, armor, weapon type, etc.You can and should also use your action post to describe what any allies you have (whether granted via article or recruited from NPCs) will do.To reward timely posting, actions will be processed in the order they are posted. However, to prevent metagaming, I will give penalties to actions that clearly rely on information that the player character in question wouldn't be able to reasonably know.Step 4: After actions are processed and any happenings as a result of them get tracked, I'll post an update in the thread with an attached image of where everyone is relative to each other and buildings, as well as their current statuses, articles, and inventories, and then ask for your next actions, repeating the cycle of actions and updating until someone wins by killing all other players, or otherwise preventing them from participating in the fight in any meaningful capacity.For a test run I'll start with around 4-5 or so people, maybe more if there's sufficient interest. Also have fun.
>>6281896This seems like it could be interesting
>>6281896First time tripfagging here, hope I do it right
Sounds cool
>>6281896Interested! Hopefully do the trip right
>>6281896Cool concept
>>6281896Bring it.
It's Cookie
>>6281896how di I generate a tripcode?
alright backpeople showed upgive me a moment and I'll generate article loadouts for everyone here>>6282099not particularly important on this board but if you need to tripfag for whatever reason, put ##whatever after your name in the name field (with whatever being some password/passphrase only you know)inputting the same pw will generate the same tripcode anywhere on 4chan, provided you also keep the amount of #s the same
this may take a whilegotta sift through all the literal who sports players you've never heard of and random villages in the middle of nowhere since 8 people signed up I'll have to get 40 articles on stuff that might have any possible competitive value
>>6282141Oof, good luck
>>6282216Yeah don't worry, I'm just gonna pull an all nighter trying to find enough articles on stuff that'll be suitable for a deathmatch game without me having to blatantly asspull connections between articles and what skills/items/allies/etc they grantOn a practical note, I am not gonna have the character limit to fit everyone's status/article lists inside one reply so I'll probably have to split themFortunately, this board has just a 30 second floodcheck for text only posts, and the bump limit is pretty much irrelevant as threads here go into permasage after a few days anyways (and this is a slowboard)So when I'm updating expect me to post several posts in a row before I mention that action submissions are open
updateit has taken over 300 random wikipedia pages of random crap to get the first gun article
updatetrying to find good enough articles has caused me to lose the game by stumbling upon this articlehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Game_(mind_game)i lost the game before I could even start this one
>>6282258Dibs
>>6282258Waiting with interestAlso I was messing around with wikiroulette a bit, rnjesus blessed me with a Fireball https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fireball_(album)
another updateat least 3 people have gotten various venomous or otherwise disease carrying/stinging insects as articlesalso i'm 75% done with assigning articles to people>>6282277stay tuned
found another gun article award
Alright after like 8 hours of both fucking around procrastinating and spamming the random article button to sift through over a thousand articles on random minor politicians, athletes, villages, bugs, and other crap no one cares aboutGonna take a break since I've spent all night getting lost in Wikipedia instead of sleeping (should also mention that my timezone is EST despite my fucked sleep habits aligning with other timezones' nighttimes)At somepoint this evening/night I'll properly start the game and begin accepting actions
>>6282353Good work, QM. It must have been horrible, I tried going through random and it was nothing but random stupid shit like "Obscure Indian Movie" or "Villlage from literally nowhere"
>>6282354What, you don't wanna learn about random ass train stations in Bangladesh?
OP?
