The name of this Subgame is “Wikirace #1”. It has a Stake of 4 Points.

To play this game, a player must find the shortest path between a random article on Wikipedia, and the “Nomic” article. A path is defined as the number of article links that must be clicked to take the user from the starting article to the target article. (The clicked links must be in the body of the article, and cannot include a page starting with “Special:” or “Category:”. Players must not edit links into articles used in their path, during the Subgame, nor encourage other people to add those links.)

The game has three phases; Signup, Declaration and Reveal. Each phase must last at least 24 hours, and begins or ends whenever Kevan announces in comments to this post that the phase has begun or ended.

• During the Signup phase, any Player may join the Subgame. (Players who join after the Signup phase are inelegible to win.)
• At the start of the Declaration phase, Kevan shall select a random Wikipedia article and announce it in the comments. During the Declaration phase, any Player who has joined the game may post the length of their Wikirace path from this article to the target article, as a comment.
• During the Reveal phase, any Player who posted the length of their Wikirace path may post a list of the articles that make up a path of that length from the starting article to the target article, so long as this does not duplicate an earlier list of articles posted by another Player.

When the Reveal phase ends, the Player with the shortest valid Wikirace path (excluding those who failed to post a path length, or who broke any other rules of the Subgame) is the winner of that Subgame. If this would mean that more than one Player is the winner, the Player who joined the game earliest is instead the winner. (The GM is considered to have joined the game after all other Players.)
