If it's a lunch break, that's usually an hour? I'd say about 1.5-2 miles would work - that gives you enough time to get there and back if you're running.
On the other hand, for the full-scale version the checkpoint schedule seems to assume that people might move as slowly as a mile an hour.
I'd say answering these questions is part of how you plan the whole thing, personally.
This task is awesome and must be approved.
This would be really nice for me as I can't make it to JTTEOTN London. JTTEOTN2 Norwich anyone?
Why only a mini Journey? Do a full journey! Im sure you can get atleast 70 people who want to chase each other in the night!
That, would, be, awesome.
UK players in the Skype chat seem to like MK at the moment, it's good for everyone!
More then happy to set up one in MK, how long a route are we talking about?
Yup - i'm more thinking of foot-running distance type stuff. Are we takling 4 miles, 10, what?
No idea. I'll swiftly fail if I run no matter what distance!
How long have the others been? (roughly)
Chicago was about seven and a half miles; I think Minneapolis will be just shy of seven.
Of course that's not counting detours to get the bonus checkpoints...
That's fine then - I'm sure I can knock something up in no time :)
Oh, man, you guys. This is gonna have been great.
heh, I love the -OR- amendment...
Do players have to be aware that they are playing?
Oh my god, now I have this beautiful image of a vast international Journey to the End of the Year, allowing all transport except airplanes, with checkpoints scattered across the globe and chasers in helicopters.
The world will never live up to my dreams.
I am in favor of this. Provided, of course, that they are black helicopters.
Of course black helicopters. Black helicopters with red ribbons.
Tokyo is a safe zone.
The previous statement should be repeated with a ridiculous French accent. Perhaps even while wearing a false moustache.
"Mah skuuule, she ess to be konvair-ted."
Try it.
Im seriosuly up for doing this, intercity style.
Anyone else?
I'd be up for it, if you have some concept for how it wouldn't require spending way too much on transportation.
Journey thrives on its low-budget architecture. We'll have to be creative.
...Like, cross-country rollerblading? That could be intriguing, provided crash space could be arranged for the runners. All thousand of them.
In between cities, everyone would complete the 25 mile task!
Hm. Except I think you have to walk that one.
Brouhaha indeed.
I believe this idea may need a lot of drawing board time.
My original thought would be to set it up so that each city has an entrance point, an exit point, and a rest point. The players travel enmasse between cities, or atleast in two masses, chasers and chasees. Possibly via train as that means the original rules are still in order. Public transport and all.
I would also think that it would be wise to make it linked to some sort of charity fundraising.
Sounds like the 1908 around-the-world automobile race. Except that there will have to be 1000 participants instead of 6, and they don't get cars.
Another option which is likely more feasible is that you create a string of journey to the end of the nights where you have a smaller core team.. maybe 30-80 players playing a much LARGER game, moving from city to city, trying to survive.. and then you have players who join the game for that one night.
That way it remains an open thing for people depending on how much they have to dedicate to it. The core team can be sponsored for charity in their event.. and possibly document their journey with cameras etc.
When caught, the core team become professional chasers at the start of each journey. The idea is for the core team to work together to get as many of themselves across the "border" of each city. For everyone else involved it is simply a normal journey to the end of the night..
Sounds far more like we can actually do this..
can this task be re-approved for this era so there can be a JTTEOTN Mo'orea???
OR
does anyone have this task saved up somewhere that they can add me as a collab??
please please please with a cherry on top???
Saved. No plans for it yet, but saved.

Charlie Fish's account: Milton Keynes is creepy. Everything is so neat and regular and big and spacious and just a little bit soulless. It's like a factory for turning people into machines. Frankly, it needed some full-on tasking to brighten it up. ...
Would there be certain parameters for minimum distance?
