Follow me if you can!

The goal of the contest is to make it from Vault 13 (the starting location in Fallout) to Vault 101 (the starting location in Fallout 3) in seven clicks or less. Simply navigate from the Vault 13 article to the Vault 101 one by clicking on article links within the wiki's articles about the Fallout world and games.

On your way to Vault 101, you also need to visit at least one location from each Fallout game (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3), not counting Vault 13 and Vault 101. Other articles on your route do not have to be locations, but you can only use each article once. Every location that appears in more than one game counts for only one of them. Categories, templates and other special pages don't count.
In short

Can you make it from Vault 13 to Vault 101 in 7 clicks or less (not counting Vault 13 as a "click")?

* Visit one location from each game (Fallout, Fallout 2, Fallout 3) on the way
* Send your route (list of articles), your name and country of residence to events@wikia.com with the subject Fallout 3

Prizes

* Prizes to be awarded, sponsored by Bethesda Softworks and Wikia will include:
o Five (5) Copies of Fallout 3
o Four (4) Official Fallout 3 T-shirts

Rules and regulations

* The contest runs from October 27 to November 3, 2008.

* Official rules and legal mumbo jumbo can be found here.

Discuss!

Are there going to be pages you can't use? Because the timeline is kinda cheating. And I see you already thought of the military base, Ausir :P --Macros 11:07, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

All articles can be used. You can't use templates, special pages, etc. But every article can only be used once. Ausir 11:12, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

What if someone edits an article to make a shortcut? --Macros 11:17, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, if that edit doesn't make sense in that article or is a stretch, I'll remove it and it won't be allowed. If it does, I think it's OK. Ausir 11:41, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

I am sceptical about any edit caused by contest purposes. Including yours - Ausir (my PC is to weak to instal F3 there :)).--dotz 14:14, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Well, I'm not taking part in the contest myself. Ausir 14:25, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Does a game overview article (i.e. fallout 1, 2 or 3) count as a special page?

No, they count as regular articles and can be used as part of your route. Ausir 23:59, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Cheers

Does the Capital Wasteland count as a location or a general area?

Anything that is in a "Fallout 3 places", "Fallout 2 places" etc. category counts. Ausir 00:21, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

It says int the legalese that you need to include the following w/ your emailed entry: 0) Email subject line "Fallout 3: Across the Wastes" 1) Name 2) Address 3) Phone number

This is a bit more than what's listed on the contest page: http://fallout.wikia.com/wiki/Across_the_Wastes

Just wanted to make sure it's clear. Thanks -- PK

You'll just have to supply the rest of the info only if you are picked as one of the winners. Ausir 01:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Do Vault 13/101 count as Fallout 1/3 locations? or do you mean 'in addition to'?

Yes, there has to be one location from each game in addition to V13/101. Ausir 02:41, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

2 questions, can i get the prizes if i live in the uk? and can i use vault 101 twice? Orio11

Yes and no, respectively. Ausir 12:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank you Orio11 12:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

If your an idiot and sent the wrong info (e.g. didn't put you name or country of residence) first time round can you resend?

My question: Since Categories like Fallout 2 places can be used, can Category:Vaults be used? -- (Middle Man 15:31, 28 October 2008 (UTC))

You can't use categories at all in your route, only articles within these categories. Ausir 15:50, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Does Vault 101 count as a click as well? Elektr0 18:32, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Yes. Ausir 18:34, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! I got it now. Elektr0 19:04, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
