We just got the zombies then. We were planning to bring them to the spawn all the way from north.

The first resting place we found was KobaltFire's house. We had a lot of fun playing around with the zombies there.
Then Bobcat went up the ladder in the chimney and the two zombies that followed died :(

I forgot to take more pictures, but we got it from that house all the way to area 51 and were planning to take the subway towards cove hub. But then Bobcat put the zombie in a cart and pushed it off. It disappeared :(
(strangely, refinedcode was in the area when the zombie disappeared, and the cart had stopped by itself?)

Anyway, the challenge is to get a zombie from the north warp to the spawn tower in one piece. No rules except no cheating. You must proof with a screenshot that you got the zombie in the tower. First person to make it gets eternal fame.

[EDIT] As tiggerplux said mobs disappear after 5 minutes, the challenge is now to get as far as possible. Take regular screenshots and make sure to get the last know coördinates. Post your the farthest you get.

We later tried it again with not 1 , but 2 spiders.
We figured it would be easier since they don't burn in daylight. We still had to babysit the little creeps during such time, dice they would go all over the place. I got some snapshots, but I'm on my iPod right now. I couldnt get them all the way to spawn, cus I had to get off.
A zombie or skelky is harder cus u gotta find shelter for them in time for sunrise. Assault, Bobcatfish( or boobcat as we called him) and I were
On a team. The zombie was attracted to bobcat
So he had to babysit the darn thing. We went to the subway cus we were sick if finding half-decent shelters to protect the zombie .
 
Well, if that is the case, just try to go the farthest with a mob. Send a pic and coord. For proof.
 
I made it about 5/8 of the way, but then I had to go and eat dinner, so bobcat continued.
And screwed up.
Bobcat made it 3/4 of the total length, and got the zombie killed.

Remember that different mobs are more difficult to get to follow you safely. Here is my list from easiest to hardest, mobs that follow you.

Creeper- survive daylight. Always follow you. Don't let to close or it ll blow up and die. This means you must always be moving.

Spiders- survive daylight, can climb walls, but go passive in the day, and stop following you, thus, you have to baby sit them , or keep in cage , until night fall. This can loose you valuable time , for they will despawn eventually.

Zombies-don't survive daylight. Their pretty easy to transport other than the fact that you MUST find a shelter before sunrise, or it will die instantly. This might be ridiculously easy or insanely hard. U can just make one, but it might count as greifing to other people. Best option is to find a long tunnel or anything that is sheltered from the sun. Finding a sheltered route takes planning.The subway is the best example of a good path to take, as long as there is an easy garanteed zombie safe entrance/exit for it.

Skeleton- can't survive daylight, since they are supposed to attack from a distance, dice they attack with arrows only , I don't know if they will follow you or not. If they always take distance, but follow you still, it would be hard getting them into a shelter.
 
Mobs don't despawn after 5 minutes, otherwise I wouldn't have gotten nearly halfway...
 
Not after 5 min , of course. But Eventially they will despawn , so it might be little short of impossible to get to the spawn with a zombie. Or anything u have to wait for night to come. Cus day is longer than night.
 
Success, took seemingly forever to get a zombie there from the outlands. I thought I'd planned a good route but I ended up mistiming it and having to wait out 2 day cycles under trees etc. Btw under the interstate makes for a great shade!

You are the first to accomplish the zombie challenge! If you want to do it again, try to do it with multiple mobs, maybe a creeper or spider in there too. You sir, heve won a cookie. Now how much do they cost nowadays.
 
Congratz, Yennage! Didn't actually think anyone else would try the challenge, but you did! :D

Anyway, how about a more difficult challenge? From the North gate to the East gate, but you have to take a screenshot at Akimotokun's Pyramid, Cove Center, Area 51 (hint, do the previous two via subway), in front of the apogee logo (from the interstate), at kkairo, at refined's Spleef arena, at the colosseum, at the monopoly board, at the Rural regional center and last but not least at the house near east gate and at east gate itself. Goodluck!
 
It's probably almost impossible for you to get a creeper to spawn. Get to close to it and it'll just despawn, so you'll have to be constantly moving although that shouldnt be too hard as they dont burn in the daylight like zombies and skeletons.
 
To get to Rural's center you'll have to swim quite a while from anywhere.
Then swim again to get to the board.
No shelter in the water.
