Procedures
The random selection of pages must be performed by someone other than the player, that is, either an impartial overseer (i.e. referee) or an opponent. Of note, the latter option tends to breed a fun competitiveness between players, where one player tries to pick the most “random” (read: tangential) wiki-links for his/her opponent.A close tally must be kept of the number of clicks used by a player; all selections must be accounted for. Whoever has the fewest clicks wins. The browser history can be used to determine number of articles / clicks.A round in the Wiki Game can be played at one computer terminal, where players take turns, or at multiple computers simultaneously. In the latter option, a “session” begins immediately after everyone loads their randomized Starting Page and ends when the last person returns to his/her Homing Page. NOTE: It is from our experience that rounds with a session consisting of several people require both referees and cooperation between opponents to make sure all are treated fairly.After each round, the history folder of the web browser needs to be purged.The game can also be played by seeing who can get to the designated page first, regardless of the number of clicks.
