    Smile The Wikipedia Game!

    Im not a creative guy so this is a simple game.

    I will give out a excerpt from a Wikipedia Article (Which is typically quite detailed and usually hard to understand on certain subjects).

    Then you have to guess what the hell im talking about. Got it?

    You have 2 days. So If today is Tuesday then you've got until Thursday!

    Ok. First One!

    Oh yeah. The FIRST person who guesses correctly get to do the next one.

    I will on occasion blank out a word which contains the word you're looking for.

    Here's an easy one for you, to start of and get the general Idea.

    1. Very Easy


    "In some cases, these chronic infections might be beneficial as they might increase the immune system's response against infection by other pathogens.^ However, in most cases _____ infections in animals cause an immune response that eliminates the infecting _____."



    Ok. There ya go, if you can't work that basic one out then good luck to you. To be in the spirit of the game, don't copy and paste this into google and see what comes up... please don't.

    P.S: Please give this post some love and rep it!

    "Cheese" is very easy. "Bears" is very easy.(SPOILER) "Virus" is not very easy.

    NO. Very Easy should not require specific knowledge of the answer. Not everyone knows about virus', other than "they make me a little ill".

    Good game, though. I'm just saying: for the start, I'd dumb it down a little. Virus, in my eyes, is more of an Easy/Medium difficulty.

    I don't really know all that much about virus' I just used my comprehension skills to fill in the blanks xD

    But yea, I see your point. Very easy probably should be... very easy

    It's just viruses. No apostrophe unless it's possessive (with the exception being "it's" because English is a mental language).

    Agreeing on the point though - sciency sort of stuff is not going to be very easy. Good idea though

    Woops, yeah. My bad. Also, "it's" = it is. "Its" is possessive.

    Huzzah!

    Try this for Very Easy:

    Although most _____ _______ installments are independent stories with various different settings and main characters, they feature common elements that define the franchise. Such recurring elements include plot themes, character names, and game mechanics. Plots center on a group of heroes battling a great evil while exploring the characters' internal struggles and relationships. Character names are often derived from the history, languages, and mythologies of cultures worldwide.

    I almost put Forgotten Realms until I thought a bit longer and realised that it's actually Final Fantasy. I knew I had read that passage before! I can't believe I almost failed at that one. That would have been embarrassing

    That would have been shameful, had you not got it. But you did, so it's OK.

    I would have banished myself from this place had that happened. Here, have an easy one:

    ________ were introduced in the 19th century and now number about one billion worldwide, twice as many as automobiles. They are the principal means of transportation in many regions. They also provide a popular form of recreation, and have been adapted for such uses as children's toys, adult fitness, military and police applications, courier services, and competitive sports.
