Title: An incredible journey of epic proportions!
Post by: JimmyWhiffler on March 06, 2012, 10:57:53 pm
Recently I have been favouring single-player survival over the SMP server, mainly for a bit of peace and quiet since the server got really popular! :P However, I have been thinking of ways to try and get back into going onto SMP some more. Inspired partly by the "Far Lands or Bust" channel on YouTube, (why not check it out here! (http://www.youtube.com/user/kurtjmac?ob=0&feature=results_main)) I am now planning to walk the entirety of the SMP world from the southwest corner here: http://smp.opticraft.net/map/#/-3096/64/3447/-4/0/0 to somewhere up in the northeast, perhaps this column here http://smp.opticraft.net/map/#/3083/64/-2527/-1/0/0

I intend to start with absolutely nothing in my inventory and with no armour on.
The other parameters I think I should stick to are: not using any boats, and also not sleeping!
I will post updates of where I am in this thread and also put in the odd picture if I see anything particularly cool on my travels! ;)

If you have any other ideas on what rules I should stick to etc. please just say below :D

P.S. I just realised I would have to walk all the way from my /home to the southwest corner to even start! XD  So if anyone would be willing to somehow teleport me there in the first place I would be very much obliged. :S

P.P.S If you think this should be in offtopic or something then move it at will :)

If they can fund a private jet (or teleportation device) to take me to my starting point then certainly! :P

Sure, but you have to leave a wool banner for Claw Industries at each end (We will supply the wool) :P

Lol I tried from East town to south east. Wasn't easy at all
If you want, try /warp jubgle1/2/3, it will bring you to the south east of the border.

Well I might meet you in the middle somewhere then! :P

Also, there is still a bit of a problem getting to where I wanted to start in the far southwest corner ("bottom" of the live map).  I wanted to begin there because from that point the land is fairly continuous, no vast oceans in the way!  If anyone has anyone ideas at all on how to get there I would very much appreciate it! :D

How old are you?

I am 13, but, as stated by tabooti, my grammar makes me seem much older than what I actually am

Can you get on Opticraft.net for at least an hour a week?

Yeah, sure. Why not? I can go on it for 2 and a half hours a day if I wish  :P

What timezone do you live in?

I live in Melbourne, Australia, so my UCT is +10

Have you ever been banned from opticraft.net? *If so please post a link to your ban apeal, or include why you were banned (That being what the mod/admin said, and NOT your justification for it)*

No, and I don't want to be banned. Ever. Period.

Do you agree to abide by all Stettin's  policies?*

OK, so I have officially started!!!  I have decided to start from the spawn then head East/Southeast and finally end up in the jungle region!  Then I plan to go all the way to the end of the map in the far far far far east!  (The weird sticky out bit on the live map :D)

I am at this VERY moment in the SMP server, pressing W :P 

Anyway, pray to Notch for me that I won't die in the first 5 minutes! 

ONWARD!!!

He was "one" of the first. And he wasn't the first there, but he was the first to realise it wasn't India or w/e.
Notice the America and Americo.

I believe its Copernicus.

However, correct me if i am wrong. :P
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Perhaps you'll name him Gulliver (after the character from the book Gulliver's Travels). I say this because Gulliver was a traveler, and since you are taking a journey it seems suitable. Of course, it's your dog so you can decide his name :P.
