The Forum Race

Notes before playing

• This may be by far the hardest forum game made on the EE forums. It requires it's time and concentration.

• This game is not new, it's an old game based on another game: The Wiki Race. Try playing it before this one.

The Forum Race
This game consists in that you will have a start topic, and you will have to reach another topic specified, without using any search tools (excluding Ctrl + F) and since this is a forum, looking for forum links in profiles and signatures is not allowed. Links must be from posts content.

Here's an example:

Start: http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=29412
Goal: http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=27393

The player who wants to play will then have to start searching for links on "posts" from the start topic that will redirect him to another topics or posts until he/she reaches his/her goal, and will upload his progress to paste services like pastebin.com or paste.ubuntu.com to show people how he/she got to the goal.

Here's an example of how to submit your results:

▼Start / Goal

Start: http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=29412
Goal: http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=27393

http://paste.ubuntu.com/12131018/

Start: - Here you will write the start topic for the next poster -
Goal: - Here you will write the goal for the next poster -

Make sure that both the start and goal are the initial posts (the topics).
Also, if possible, include the page numbers for the topics with a lot of posts, where you can locate the posts that redirect to your goal, so they can be checked easily.

So here the game starts:
Start: http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=26232
Goal: http://forums.everybodyedits.com/viewtopic.php?id=15100

NOTE: When making the new start/goal for the next poster, make sure it requires at least 1 topic between the start and goal for the goal to be reached (it can not be direct start-to-goal).

Re: The Forum Race

This is very tempting to write a script to just map out the forum hyperlinks
Notable holes in this game are the user post list and forum post list... but okey gg
will play sometime

Re: The Forum Race

The Forum Race is back!

So I decided to open this game for those who are interested.

I've updated the rules so that new players can understand how to play, in an easier way.

Please read the notes at the top of the initial post before playing, since this is not a common forum game.

The start and goal are located at the initial post too, before you ask where they are.

That's exactly why I added those important notes at the top.

They clearly say that the game requires it's time and concentration. It is not a common game.
