Bree Giffen Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Hey all. Where is the farthest location that someone in SL has told you they were located in a conversation? The farthest I've talked to someone was from Italy. I even remarked to him , "Wow, you live far away!" There may have been farther conversations but that's the one I recall.

Beth Macbain Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I think this would depend on your starting point, and where the farthest possible place is from you. I found this handy little tool... http://furthestcity.com/ According to that, the farthest place away from me is Perth, Australia. I talk to someone from there regularly. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bree Giffen Posted August 15, 2019 Author Share Posted August 15, 2019 Nice! For me the farthest cities are in Madagascar, Reunion and Mauritius. I can't say I've met SL residents from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sylvia Tamalyn Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Australia is farthest for me as well, and I have spoken to many SL residents from there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lindal Kidd Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Mars and Venus are, at greatest separation, about 209 million miles apart. Since ...and, since I've spoken with men... I claim the title! 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephanie Misfit Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I'm in Tasmania, Australia and the furthest place from me is Newfoundland followed by Spain. I guess the furthest conversations I have had would be Canada and the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maitimo Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 A couple of weeks ago I met someone from New Zealand- from the UK that's the furthest you can get without actually leaving the planet. Next furthest (aside from Australia) would be Hawaii. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KiriLife Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 Being from New Zealand nearly every person I meet in SL is from another Hemisphere, timezones make them a different day to me, and usually the opposite season too. I assume everyone I meet is on the other side of the world, because they usually are 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChinRey Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) Is New Zealand the antipode to the entire rest of the world??? It certainly is to Norway and I do have am SL friend in New Zealand (who hates it when I call him an Aussie ) so that's the farthest geographically. Culturally... well, I have lots of friends in the USA. Americans can be really strange - often strange in a good and interesting way but strange all the same.

Yes this is true for me as well. It is kind of interesting when you ask someone what time it is where they are, and the hour is the same, but the AM or PM is different.

SL/Sansar/OpenSim/etc. I did read once about a US military test development for astronauts, looking at leisure activities while on a long space journey. That would be cool.

It certainly feels that way when you live here. But often that's a very good thing. 3 minutes ago, Sylvia Tamalyn said: I like it when you ask, and the answer is that they are a day ahead of you!

Over the years I've spoken with people all over the world and some I never knew what country they were in. Of course, distance is relative to which direction you go from where you are. LIke Russia for instance, Go east from where I live and it is the farthest, go west and it is much, much closer. Like next door neighbor close.

KanryDrago Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 (edited) board game site I play on however did have an article about someone playing from the international space station which is feasible as board games are not high bandwidth nor latency sensitive. Whether I ever played with him or her no idea as they didnt reveal the site name of the player Edited August 15, 2019 by KanryDrago 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amanda Crisp Posted August 16, 2019 Share Posted August 16, 2019 (edited) Well, I once spoke to someone who seemed “metaphorically” like they might be from Another Planet....does that count? They MUST have been from an alien planet; what they were suggesting was anatomically impossible ........
