An incredible journey of epic proportions!

JimmyWhiffler

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!) 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 :)

Can Claw Industries be your official sponser?

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

That sounds like fun! I might try one from the opposite side to the opposite side...if i got that right

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
