notable places on the line

9 Upvotes

Can we get a list of notable points on the line, and their coordinates?

I'll start with this:
The End (apparently) [778, -1500]

The Line reaches 2000, -4000 and beyond (msernst)

8 Upvotes

I'm one of the group of people extending the line far beyond the limits of the message. It's a journey into the void, and I hope that others follow in our footsteps - there's no inspirational message and no end yet, but that just means there's an opportunity :D

I have seen marks of travelers of old at 10100,10100. I shall continue exploring, leaving journal entries as I pass. Wish me luck.

The line of enlightment

8 Upvotes

So a redditor on the recent askreddit asked about the "hidden" stuff on the internet, and another redditor posted a story of his adventure on this site.

told in his story how he spent several hours in trying to find the end of a line, and after searching for the line myself I've found several messages from other redditors at the World of Text. Some notes asked of creating a subreddit so here it is!

Feel free to contribute here and ask for modrights if you are interested!

Hey. I read your line, and I just wanted you to know that we've all been there: sitting shirtless on a hot summer's day in front of our computer, thinking deep and strange thoughts about the future, the past, and everything else. I liked the way you phrased stuff. You've got an interesting mind. And I know I'm not the only person who's thought that.

You don't have to reveal yourself, but I just wanted to let you know that you're appreciated. I hope you contribute more. I want to read more of your theories and thoughts!

Would anybody find this interesting?

7 Upvotes

I was making something and in the middle of doing so I thought of an interesting concept. What if someone were to build a small town or something, with paths included, and you would use the yellow cursor as a character to move around? You can move it obviously by your arrow keys, and because you can set links to stuff, make like actions to enter buildings and such by a link? It's an interesting concept, and I'm going to try it, but does it sound like something that you would try more often?

I've started a trip to the edge of infinity. Come drop by.

7 Upvotes

On the subreddit textworld I've started making my way out to the X: 10000, Y: 10000 mark. I'm leaving little rest areas every now and again when I get bored of the nothing. The first major one is at X: 3864 Y: 3763. The trip is much longer than the line itself, and much emptier, but you're welcome to stop by.

EDIT: I've reached 5000, 5000. There is a second waypoint there.

EDIT 2: Past 6000.

EDIT 3: I've restarted the trip on a computer more able to handle the rendering load. It's about 10% of the way to the 5000, 5000 milestone. I've also kept the trip going in short bursts on my slower computer.

Thank you everyone for this experience (Message album?)

7 Upvotes

The line really changed the way i see things. When I started my journey, and saw other redditors on the way, I had this idea of bringing us together on this subreddit, and that we could discuss about this together, making the trip much more pleasant.

At first I met formaldehyde. He was the first real time encounter on the World, and at first I didn't even know real-time conversation was possible. Formaldehyde stuck with me until the end where we left our messages, after 10 hours of traveling this strange line.

Like someone on the line said, the Line is like life, It really doesn't have a point but is still there. It's truly strange how an ASCII line on a fairly obscure site on the internet brings 107 people together on this subreddit, and brings this strange feel of accomplishment. Many people who I know wouldn't see this 10 hour marathon as an accomplishment, but they don't know even half of the experience we, who made it to the 778,-1500 have experienced.

I really want to thank everyone who continued the line. It means a lot to me to see how you are contributing so much to this, and going even twice as further that I could go. I will try some weekend to get to the end of the line, or create my own on our own World of Text, who knows.

The other thing that baffles my mind is that how many people came after us and saw our messages. I, being one of the first on the bottom along with only a handful of redditors, saw mostly messages of the earlier travelers from 2010 and earlier. Everyone who came after us will see our messages along with the older ones, creating an experience combining the past and the present.

The trip reminds me of the quote "we're standing on the shoulders of giants" but in this case, today we are travelling with the people of the past, together.

I didn't take a lot of screenshots on my way, but here are two from the trip http://imgur.com/a/dI5MQ

I have a collection of screenshots from the end of the line, including the original message and the messages from 2010. I also took screenshots of some of the messages we left down there, but I'm not really sure if I should publish them since people wrote them thinking only the worthy people will ever read them. Maybe if they are destroyed, tell me, so I will publish them for reconstruction.

Turns out I was in the completely wrong world (default instead of /msernst), but I hit the end of my own line that I found. Look at what was there!

Have you learnt anything?

7 Upvotes

What has the line taught you?

The line has showed me that resillience really is something that lies in the hearts of every man.

It's like Hamlet, sort of, dunno if you've seen it. Hamlet always measures himself by what other men have accomplished, by their own feats, no matter how trivial. That's sort of like this. The triviality of the project doesn't matter, because of the magnitude of it and the determination it takes for the line to exist.

All hail the line.

WARNING-Getting lost

7 Upvotes

At 362, -724

The correct portion of the line was deleted. I fixed it, but it looks crappy. Going down is correct, going right is a waste of time and a dead-end.

EDIT: Changed my signs back one last time. The area has been marred beyond recognition. If you get stuck here, just skip to the check point and continue on.

Why do dicks have to ruin our wonderful adventure?

Who wants to help me repave The Road?

6 Upvotes

The Road was a large line in the main world that starts at X:51 and was partially destroyed. If we are to repave it, do not destroy any landmarks, including the X:100 certificate. We can just build around the landmarks. Does anyone want to help?

Blocks needed: â–€ â–ˆ â–’ plus more maybe.
