Introduction
This is a fun and simple game. It's in the Sandbox — feel free to join in! It's a good place to practice making links to articles and find interesting pages to edit on Wikipedia.
How to play
Simply, the game involves adding a single word to the list that is related to the previous one. Edit the main game or branch section, add a word, enclose it in brackets, update the word count, and save the page.
By way of example, a game might start off with: cat
. Then, the next person might add cat, dog
. And after a few more rounds, we might get cat, dog, pet, animal, forest, tree, …
Avoid repeating words, and keep the links tasteful! Please use only blue links when associating. Piped links are acceptable in certain circumstances, such as when a word may have many ambiguities, like [[Queen (band)|Queen]]
. Clearly, as the game develops, one gets a pretty long list! If you're stuck for ideas, link to the last word in the list and add the first link that appears on that page as the next link. Thus "Sebastian Junger" would be followed by "January 17", and "Latin" by "Indo-European language".
In the spirit of the game, please type only one word consecutively. Then another person can respond to your word, and the game continues!
Rules
In game, as usual, it is a must to update the word count each time you add a word. The official limit for the main game is 555 words. Please note that this word limit must not be raised.
Every 100th word may be made into a branch. However, there cannot be any sub-branches and therefore the total number of Branches possible in this game are 5-6. Branches may contain up to 100 words maximum and 35 minimum.
For the previous games, see this link, in which the starting word was Plain-tailed Warbler and the ending word was John Baird with branches Breakfast at Tiffany's, The Black Keys, Me'shell Ndegéocello, Checkers speech, and Bill Cosby.
This is Game #23, starting with the word "Ellmau". It was selected by Special:Random.
