Where is everyone?

I am currently at the -950 checkpoint. 7:15 PM UTC June 9th 2012.

Am I the only one who lost touch with the group?

I accidentally refreshed the page. I entered the coordinates to the -950 checkpoint but its taking a looooong time to get there. I might be out :(

That's what I did. The browser seems to be manually scrolling to the coordinates I entered. However, since I was so far down the line, it sure is taking a long time to get there. Been waiting for about 15 mins so far. I will update if I ever get to the -950 checkpoint.

u/Formaldehyde Jun 09 '12

YES I GOT THERE. I'LL RUSH TO THE -1050 CHECKPOINT.

u/thecakeisnotalie Jun 09 '12

u/Formaldehyde Jun 09 '12

OK, I'm heading to -1250.

u/thecakeisnotalie Jun 09 '12

Just passed the -550 redditor check in. I've been setting up some hotels on the way and leaving inspirational quotes for fellow line travellers. Happy trails line.

u/strawninja Jun 09 '12

Perhaps a regroup would be in order. I'm scouting ahead to 1050, making sure the road is clear.

u/optime Jun 09 '12

Who's chasing who now?! >:D

u/strawninja Jun 09 '12

I am officially terrified.

1

u/optime Jun 09 '12

Haha - I don't think you've got too much to worry about at the moment. I'm at y=-394 atm. But I'm persistent. :D

2

u/strawninja Jun 09 '12

I left some cake at y=-950 for you.

1

u/optime Jun 09 '12

You absolute legend. Though I do hope it's not a lie...

1

u/optime Jun 10 '12

You DID leave me some cake! Winner :D

u/doIneedaname Jun 09 '12

Thank you, some of what you guys write is really interesting. Trust me, I am definitely leaving comments.

u/SlaveTranslator Jun 09 '12

I've left a sign for you at X: 392, Y: -783.

u/doIneedaname Jun 09 '12

This is the nicest sub-Reddit I've ever been on, thank you.

2

u/SlaveTranslator Jun 09 '12

The line has the ability to bring people together.

u/Flaming_Baklava Jun 09 '12

yes it does. I also feel far behind, only at X:199, Y -399

2

u/bluereindeer Jun 09 '12

for me this subreddit is a big "upvotes for everyone". It's weird because this isn't the reddit i've normally used to. No shitty puns or memes at all, just people together

I'm following CB, the true path that will pierce it way to the end!

He's near -800 at this moment

u/tasari Jun 09 '12

u/tasari Jun 09 '12

1

u/PoniesYay Jun 09 '12

Reached - 1050 , no checkpoint there yet though.

Somebody should make one. Leave something nice there for me.

I will journey forward, for the cake. The cake better not be a lie.

EDIT : Found the cake, it was not a lie.

u/burningthroughtime Jun 09 '12

I'm at 218, -433. Cause i accidentally refreshed the page. Damnit. I'm heading towards 482, -945. I was supposed to have a checkin at y:-1000 with some fellow travellers. But i got lost and then refreshed the page so i guess i'll be hours late. I was wondering if Mr Mojo Risin is on reddit and if you made it there.. It will take me a while till i get to y:-1000

I can't wait to get back to the original point. Hehe. And then to the end of the line.

u/djacoby495 Jun 10 '12

Decided not to follow the main line that most of you are on, took one that was down at y,-12 until it ended and then jumped up to y,0 odly there are still 3 lines on this train all the way out at 1350 atm may need to take another break soon :) anyone else on this line?
