Legion World Forums LEGION COMPANION Spaceopoly Wikipedia Freefall - Legion Edition

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.

So to start off, go from the Wikipedia article on the Sun and end with Sun Boy.

I got it in eight:
Sun in human culture
Teletubbies
New York City
Time Warner
DC Comics
Adventure Comics
Legion of Super-Heroes
Sun Boy

I got it in six:

1. Solar Diety
2. Titan
3. Titans of Myth (comics)
4. Crisis on Infinite Earths
5. Legion of Super-Heroes
6. Sun Boy

In five:

1. Solar System bodies formerly considered to be planets
2. Titan (moon)
3. Titan in fiction
4. Legion of Super-Heroes
5. Sun Boy

Totally impressed with the wiki abilities of Rocky, Jerry and EDE. When I attempted it earlier, I hit Teletubbies and then gave up.

Fun game, Quiz.

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

Sun
Earth
Yuri Gagarin
James T Kirk
Superhero
Colossal Boy
Legion of Superheroes
Sun Boy.

I think rather than waiting a week, Eryk can do a new one.

It is interesting to see the route everyone goes.

Next:

Hindenberg Disaster to Calamity King .

I got it in seven steps. Can you beat that?

I got it in 9 steps

Boston
Boston in fiction
X-men (film)
Marvel Comics
DC Comics
Paul Levitz
Legion of Superheroes
List of Legion of Superheroes members
Calamity King.

I'll try a different route later.

In eight:

1. Discovery Channel
2. Daytime Emmy Award
3. The CW Television Network
4. Smallville
5. Superboy
6. Legion of Super-Heroes
7. List of Legion of Super-Heroes Members
8. Calamity King

In seven:

1. History of the United States (1918–1945)
2. Steamboat Willie
3. Max Fleischer
4. Superman
5. Legion of Super-Heroes
6. List of Legion of Super-Heroes Members
7. Calamity King

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?

Actually... I don't know if multiple entries are allowed for the same round... but I just got it in six (man, am I wasting time today!)

I don't see why they shouldn't be.

Right on. Then:

1. Newsreel
2. Warner Brothers
3. Superman
4. Legion of Super-Heroes
5. List of Legion of Super-Heroes Members
6. Calamity King

Nice! For the record, my original seven-step sequence was:

1. Adolf Hitler
2. Adolf Hitler in Popular Culture
3. DC Comics
4. Superman
5. Legion of Super-Heroes
6. List of Legion of Super-Heroes Members
7. Calamity King

Six is now the number to beat!

Er... so it looks like it's ex's turn, whenever he wants it!

I'm enjoying reading the steps you take to get there.

Sorry for the hold up. Next Route:

Cult film, Manos: The Hands of Fate to Fatal Five member, Mano.

For some reason I can't use the "url" tag in an address containing parentheses, but the actual page for the latter is: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mano_(comics)


I got it in six steps.

I actually did it this time!

MANOS: THE HANDS OF FATE
MYSTERY SCIENCE THEATRE 3000
LOONEY TUNES
WARNER BROS.
MORTAL KOMBAT VS DC UNIVERSE
DC UNIVERSE
SUPERMAN
SUPERBOY
LEGION of SUPER-HEROES
FATAL 5
MANO


I'm not very good at this, but that was still fun.

First attempt:

1. Worst films ever made
2. Catwoman (film
3. DC Comics
4. Superman
5. [not sure how to score this, but next I had to click "show" on the Legion of Super-Heroes tab at the bottom.]
6. Mano

In Five:
1. San Diego Comic-Con International
2. Paul Levitz
3. Legion of Super-Heroes
4. Fatal Five
5. Mano (comics)

Since Rocky already beat my six, I had:

1. How I Met Your Mother
2. Neil Patrick Harris
3. Justice League
4. Legion of Super-Heroes
5. Legion of Super Heroes (TV series)
6. Mano (comics)

Rocky in the lead with 5.

I have six also

Mano hand of fate
Mystery Science Theater 3000
Batman TV series
Superman
Legion of Superheroes
Fatal Five
Mano

Do we count the first page?

BTW, I did not look at anyones when I did this...and basically got the same as Rocky...

Manos: The Hands of Fate
San Diego Comic-Con International
Curt Swan
Legion of Super Heroes
Fatal Five
Mano (comics)

No.

If you went directly from Warner Bros. to Superman, and directly from Superman to the Legion, you'd be at 7, which isn't bad at all!
