10th Anniversary Event
[And here we are, Wikipedia's 10th Anniversary Event.
When you get to the building, the Grey Area Foundation of the Arts in the San Francisco Bay Area (which should make it easy for all Silicon Valley people), the party is likely to already have started for the Wikipedians. Everybody else can't gain entry until later in the night, but if you tell the staff that you're Wiki's colleagues or that Yelp sent you, they'll show you in. Downstairs, it's all postmodern blank spaces turned into makeshift dance floors, complete with disco lights and DJ music. Upstairs, it's a little bit quieter, the decorations are more austere-looking and more luxurious. This area is reserved for exclusive use by websites, as Jimmy Wales' ego does know that a good number of colleagues Wikipedia is likely to invite would happen to be Silicon Valley giants. You'll find a generous buffet of food that look like there's actually a chef behind them and chairs that are actually comfortable to sit in.
The area also has its own bar, manned by a gruff-looking bartender who won't talk to you about anything other than your order. He also has.....shall we say, an interesting method of mixing the drinks, which tend to result in unexpected effects. So. Basically. You know what to do, right?]
- Go here and generate a number from 1-7.
- See which poison you get.
- Post with your characters or reply to others. Repliers can choose whether you're drinking anything of your own or not.
- Ninja clarification : It works like a usual IC meme. Threadjack/rethread/whatever, it's all cool.
- Feel free to make the effects last beyond the evening! Feel free to make it not!
- The Wikimedia Foundation is not liable for any damage done on your person or immortal soul.

- PROFIT?
1. Personality Flip. Somebody's been watching too much Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde when they came up with this mix. Whatever personality you have, you're the opposite of that now. The extent of which you want to do this is up to you, whether moral cores, preferences, opinions of other people, etc. change or not. It won't be like gaining a double personality, though, just a realization that they've been doing it wrong.
2. Love Potion No.9. See that person in front of you? Yeah. You want to kiss them. Now. Hard. Possibly multiple times. If you try to control yourself, you'll start to feel sick. The longer you go without, the sicker you get. Just be glad it's not designed to kill you or drive you insane. And yes, suppose that someone threadjacks you, you'll want to kiss them too.
3. Paranoia. You can't imagine why you didn't see it before, but the stories are true. ALL OF THEM. They're out there, and they're out to get you. Everybody else is already a victim or on their side. They who? Who cares! You have to tell the first person you see what's going on so you can survive...but wait, what if that person is already on their side? But you need allies! Dilemmas! To tell, or not to tell. What if this party is how they want to get you and everyone else? What if it's too late?
4. Cat. You are now a cat. Or at least, you think you are. Whether you're a deredere purr-and-cuddles cat or a tsuntsun I-claw-you-in-the-face cat is up to you. You'll also want to chase small things and get people to scratch your chin. As a side note, cookies will now function as catnip.
5. Love Potion No.7 AKA the one that actually works. Develop an intense yandere/tsundere love/infatuation on the first person you set your eyes on, and by intense, please refer to 'the force of a thousand suns'. You pick whether yandere or tsundere is more suitable for you. For yanderes, there are sharp implements in the room, such as steak knives.
6. Body Switch. This drink seems to do nothing at first, aside from being absolutely foul. But wait, somebody just pat you on the shoulder? Oops, they shouldn't have done that. Now you're in their body and they're in yours. It wears off when you sleep, although that may take some nights. Punching someone unconscious also works.
7. Alcohol. Congratulations! You managed to hit on the bona fide martini on the menu. Except the bartender is Russian. Enjoy martini with 90% higher alcohol content and being completely, royally pissed drunk. Your inhibitions, if you have any, come off. So will your IQ and common sense. Grammatical loss not required. If you generally try to pierce the heavens with a bottle while drunk, that's fine. If you attempt to grab everybody's ass, that's fine, too. Remember, though, that everything should be dialled up to eleven.
