OK so I was reading about Wikipedia Freefall in which you start on one topic and by clicking on links within the article, you advance along and see where it takes you.
I thought we could make a game of this. Here's how I see it working. We all start on the same Wikipedia article (link to the initial article should be posted in the thread) then clicking only links within the articles see who can get to the Legion or a specific Legionnaire. You would need to document which links you clicked on and the winner would be the one who arrives with the fewest clicks.
For example: I started with the article for Ghosts. Fron that article I clicked on the link "poltergeist". From that link I clicked on "Poltergeist Movie". Then, in order, "Craig T Nelson", "The Incredibles", "Doom Patrol", "Supergirl", "Legion of Superheroes", and finally reaching "Phantom Girl". That would be 8 clicks.
I see this might be a slow moving game (or a non-starter). So, I propose that each initial article is left for a week and then if there are any entries, the winner will come from them. We all can count, so the winner aka the person with the fewest clicks does not have to wait for confirmation. So, it is important that you list the links you used. Then the winner can propose a new starting article and goal.

Glad you like it. I got from the SUn to Sun Boy in 8 also

I think rather than waiting a week, Eryk can do a new one.
It is interesting to see the route everyone goes.

So, I'm thinking we should go with original plan of leaving it up a week, and if no one beats the seven, we'll give it to Exnihil?
