Description
Name: SophiaOwner: =WishmasterAlchemist
Gender: XX
Markings: Painted, Brindle, Mane, Horns+Hooves, Horntips
Mutations: Draconian (Membranes)
Previous Contest: Open Wikipedia. Pick a word and, counting how many times you click, click the first link (outside of parentheses and italics) in each successive article until you reach 'Philosophy'. The person who has the longest string by April 18, 23:00 will win this xoal. You only get one shot, so make sure you pick a good word!
- In the event of a tie, a raffle will be done.
EDIT// If your word choice leads into wikitionary, your word is dead and you need to choose a new one. :C
For example, I'll start with 'high-explosive anti-tank warhead' . The first links in the successive articles are: explosive, explosion, volume, quantity, property, logic, reasoning, consciously, subjectivity then philosophy. So my string is 10. My claim would look like this: "Claim: Angel, Word: Highly-Explosive Anti-Tank Warhead, 10".
And go. XD

Nope, sorry. It has to lead to philosophy in order to count for this contest. C:
But congrats on finding one of the 8% that doesn't lead there. C:

Claim: Stanzie
Word: Cheese, 30 or 35 *see note*
(**NOTE:**I got to 30 when I came to the page "Property (Philosophy)" [link] and I'm not sure if that counts. But then, I ran into a SNAFU at "primate" because the first link on that page leads back a page and the first link on that back page leads to primate so it's kind of an endless loop so I just went with the second link on "primate" and only counted one for that.)
(It took me 35, I believe, to get to the plain old Philosophy page. Again, there's still that little snag with "primate" and "prosimian" connecting to each other so not sure if that disqualifies me.)

*I'm mobile, or I would have laid out the string for you. X3
π: 0 β©: 0
I suggest you check your articles again and make sure that you've clicked on the first valid link in each. For cheese I got a string of 7 and didn't get anywhere close to primate. X3

Ah, hmm, you are right then. Not sure where I missed the first link. Sorry!

Claim: Phirros
Word: Vatican Euro Coins
Chain: Vatican Euro coins, Philatelic and Numismatic Office of the Vatican City State, Vatican City, italian, toponyms, typology, systematic, systematick, comparitive (scroll to top), ante, -Γ¦nti, -ΙΛnti, non-rhotic, non, none, Appendix:English pronunciation, International Phonetic Alphabet, (loop through the appendix and the IPA)
So 17->infinity if I include wiktionary stuff
If I stop at toponyms then it's 5
If I go to the first non-wiktionary link it proceeds toooo:
Onomastics, proper names, noun, part of speech, grammar, linguistics, scientific>science, knowledge, facts, proven>proof, sufficient, logic, reasoning, consciously>consciousness, subjectivity, philosophy
Which is 21
So I'll stay with this one

Sorry, I'm going to have to say that the entire string must be in Wikipedia; I was not aware that some entries linked over to wikitionary. You may choose another word if you wish. C:

Okay thank you :'U

I have a question,
Do we pick links from where the article actually starts, or do we have to pick from the italic stuff above the article too (like if an article has sub or other related articles), and do we have to pick links to sounds or words in foreign languages?
I'm not sure if I did this right, but my random word Suranaree school leads me in a circle.
π: 0 β©: 2
Anything outside of parentheses or italics. So your string would be Suranaree School>Nakhon Ratchasima>Thailand>IndoChina>Southeast Asia>subregion>region>astrophysics>astronomy>natural science>science>knowledge>fact>proven>sufficient>logic>reasoning>consciously>subjectivity>philosophy for a count of 19. C:
