Endless Random /idgames WAD Adventures
From DoomWiki.org
The Endless Random /idgames WAD Adventures (or ER/iWA for short) are a bi-weekly reviews feature on Doomworld forums started and initially hosted by Endless. Later, the hosting responsibilities were taken by ICID from the ninth edition onward.[1] The feature aims to play different WAD files from the idgames archive arbitrarily selected by the "Random File" option from the database frontend.
At every new challenge, five random files are chosen by the host and encouraged to be played by the participants. Every file played and reviewed enters a voting system of five points per file and a points ranking is involved, with a top ten best reviewers updated every time.

Rules of the challenge
- The participants have to play a random file from /idgames (in early versions of the challenge, 5) and then review it.
- The participants must always provide the name of the file, its author and a link.
- Players are free to play as they see fit, on any skill level, and with any source port, as long as they play the WAD as intended/in working shape.
- Participants must be respectful. Making fun of a map is acceptable, making fun of the mapper is not.
Recommendations for reviews
- Screenshots or videos are recommended.
- Technical commentary is not required, but provides helpful context for reviews.
- Players are encouraged to stick to no more than one WAD per day to avoid burnout.
- Reviews of all formats are valid.
