Donald's Oil Rig Run

[Donald]

What this is, is a contest of sorts. Over the course of the next 7 days or so, I shall commit all my efforts in universe, to reaching the Oil Rig, solo.

I do not know how long it will take me, or even if it can be done at all. What will constitute my 'reaching' the rig, will be my surviving long enough beside the infernal thing to have my picture taken with it. Since I shall have to do the photography it shall be doubly dangerous.

I will set out later this evening and arrive... well, it is for YOU to figure out when. The one who comes closest to the correct date and time, which will be evident in the photo, will be the winner. In the event of a tie, the prize will be split! And just what is that prize? Under inspiration of my friend, Hurrikane, the prize will be 2000 efd. How's that? ...just for guessing the correct date and time.

That's it then. So put your thinking caps on and post your best guesses. Guessing can continue through-out the days during which I strive to achieve my goal. Please limit yourself to one and only one guess per day (as indicated by the date and time-stamp on your most recently posted guess.)

Sincerely,
Donald

P.S. If I have not reached my goal by midnight, MA time, next Saturday, I shall just give up altogether and go back to my knitting!

P.S.S. This event shall begin Jun. 10th, 2006.

My bet is that you dont make it, its a rough world out there and there are those stupid PK'ers you have to deal with too...

my guess is 12th 1pmMA time. nice lil comp u got here

its not so had to get to the rig. go s from nymph, its a pretty easy run untill you enter pvp lol
when you do get in the area, a circle should appear in your map (if youve not already got it) to indicate where the area is. may i suggest you do not go directly to the centre (which is where the rig is). i say go SE for a while, and you will come across less mobs. if/when you die, its also best to "try" (lol) to die as S as possible so you revive at the S outpost. runnung from there is the easyest route due to lack of mobs - if ur lucky their maturity is generally lower (well, at least they're not Old Alphas ).

my advice, go buy/borrow yourself a tp chip and just tp there. you can do it in 3 jumps from the S outpost, and from experience you usually land away from mobs. oh, and dont wear armour (unless you can take on aoa's, molisk scouts and Guardian bulls. my most dreaded enemy @ the rig is the exo guardian

gl in your quest donald, i hope i didnt spoil ur attempts with the tips :P

All suggestions are being carefully considered. However, I will not be making use of a TP chip this time as I feel it is not in keeping with the spirit of my mission.

Sincerely,
Donald

Last time I were there, only problem were those stupid, arrogant AOAs and
relatives.
Even thou' we were up on wall chatting, those overgrown, wingless chickens
just ran between us... not even a little bite...don't know, maybe they had
tried the "moonshine", and lost their eyesight...

The PKing isn't as bad as most people make it out to be and the trip to the area is easy if you leave from troy.
