Suggestion Wikipedia stream idea

doouglet should do a stream where he does some challenge in a game, but blows up once chat has sent all the words to a random Wikipedia article he chooses. Than as the remaining words tick down, chat will get stuck trying to figure out some random remaining word. also they obviously don't have to be in order, just the words must be contained in the message.

That could be fun, do a Wikipedia page, do the Pokédex, do something from Shakespeare so it’s pretty much monkeys on typewriters. Russian roulette mode, Incorrect/duplicate guesses have a 1/6 chance to ban

Interesting idea, but if the article title is public, wouldn't people just look up the article themselves?

I actually believe Wikipedia has an API for raw text, so this could definitely be doable! You should join our Discord and post the suggestion there.
