Gentleben Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 With the latest update adding a Streetpass map (for most people) I decided that I wanted to use my free UK and European coach travel pass to visit people in other countries and colour in my map/earn more Streetpasses. Most visits will be done on a fleeting basis (with a super fast turnaround time to save on stuff like hotel costs and other expenses) I'm planning to complete this epic task over the course of 2012, and will be starting with two locations which I feel are within easy reach. (Northern Ireland and Wales) If you would be prepared to meet (I think Nando and Darksnowman are already up for it) then leave your details below. Bear in mind bigger cities work best, since coach connections don't tend to visit the small places.
Captain Falcon Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 I wonder if there is an accomplishment for getting someone from every region. I also wonder if anybody would ever legitimately achieve if it there is. I guess it depends how they split the regions but given the US is broken into states (I have someone from Virginia somehow), I dare say it would probably take some travelling.
Gentleben Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 There are a number of accomplishments that relate to meeting Miis from other Regions and countries. The ones in Bold I've already earned. 16 Met a Mii Character from a total of 2 different regions 17 Met a Mii Character from a total of 3 different regions 18 Met a Mii Character from a total of 5 different regions 19 Met a Mii Character from a total of 10 different regions 20 Met a Mii Character from a total of 20 different regions 21 ??? 22 ??? 23 Met a Mii Character from every Region in your country 24 Met a Mii Character from a total of two different countries 25 Met a Mii Character from a total of three different counries 26 Met a Mii Character from a total of three different countires 27 Met a Mii Character from a total of five different countires 28 ??? I was also thinking visiting an Airport on a busy day, might net me a couple of Miis from other Countires.
Adthegreat Posted December 22, 2011 Posted December 22, 2011 Perhaps a silly question, but where do I see this map?
Gentleben Posted December 22, 2011 Author Posted December 22, 2011 Perhaps a silly question, but where do I see this map? If you can't see it in your Streetpass plaza between the setting/and accomplishments, it likely means it not supported in Switzerland sadly.
Mandalore Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 Props for wanting to fill out the map legitimately. I've seen a few lame people who want to cheat it, which spoils it for everyone else they StreetPass. You can get a Welsh StreetPass off me if you like, although to be honest you're bound to get at least a few by just walking around Cardiff city centre on a busy weekend.
Adthegreat Posted December 23, 2011 Posted December 23, 2011 If you can't see it in your Streetpass plaza between the setting/and accomplishments, it likely means it not supported in Switzerland sadly. That's a shame It doesn't seem like something that would have any reason to region exclusive. On the contrary, since the more countries the better for filling the maps.
Gentleben Posted January 29, 2012 Author Posted January 29, 2012 (edited) Success! (Partly) Met both @darksnowman and @/Nando/ but for some reason Greg and me couldn't streetpass eacg other. Very frustrating! Did get a few other streetpasses while in Belfast, and toured the city on the hop on/off style tour buses-bloody freezing on the top deck. Managed to secure another pink pieces also at coach station. Really tiring journey overall, but fun was had. Next stop Wales. Edited January 29, 2012 by Gentleben
darksnowman Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 You know that ninja dude we Streetpassed, did you start a new puzzle off him? He had a few on the go that I haven't started yet. Thanks for dropping over - it was good to get my first Streetpass hit for a different region.
Rummy Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Free UK and European travel pass? That sounds pretty epic! Also totes think you should come to The N-E 2012 Summer Meetup, that might get you some regions? Probably not actually, but it's gonna be bloody fun!

Really tiring journey overall, but fun was had. Next stop Wales. Good to see you had a good trip, Steve/Darksnowman sent me a text the day before if I'd join ye but the journey was too much on short notice, an unlanned 5 -6 hour drive wasn't appealing. If I had been up near Dublin at my sisters or cousins I would have tried make the trip as it would have only been 2.5 hours, haha. I would have liked to have joined on that Belfast tour though, I only briefly passed through/near Belfast on my home from the Causeway few weeks ago at night, would have been nice to see it properly... maybe some other time You know that ninja dude we Streetpassed, did you start a new puzzle off him? He had a few on the go that I haven't started yet. Thanks for dropping over - it was good to get my first Streetpass hit for a different region. Well techically that would have been me.... just NoE apparently forgot where they put Ireland's map
darksnowman Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 Gentleben is potentially returning to visit the Giants Causeway in the "summer" so if your wife is up for it Mokong, a massive N.I. N-E Streetpassathon could happen... with lvl 2 Mii's! Well techically that would have been me.... just NoE apparently forgot where they put Ireland's map I was gonna say that but I didn't want to rub your mapless nose in it.

(to fully complete my UK map) and also an trip to Heathrow in two weeks time, then I'm looking towards some parts of the Netherlands, which are also possible with the same sort of turn around time.
Jimbob Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I snagged someone from Japan the other day, just from walking around in Cardiff
nekunando Posted February 1, 2012 Posted February 1, 2012 Success! (Partly) Met both @darksnowman and @/Nando/ but for some reason Greg and me couldn't streetpass eacg other. Very frustrating! ..and I haven't had a StreetPass since There must be something wrong with my 3DS as it didn't even work with Stevo this evening I've sent Nintendo an email about it..
Gentleben Posted February 1, 2012 Author Posted February 1, 2012 ..and I haven't had a StreetPass since There must be something wrong with my 3DS as it didn't even work with Stevo this evening I've sent Nintendo an email about it.. Have to look for silver lining, at least your still under warranty.
nekunando Posted February 2, 2012 Posted February 2, 2012 My StreetPass now seems to be working again, thankfully.. but this doesn't really help us last Saturday
Gentleben Posted February 2, 2012 Author Posted February 2, 2012 My StreetPass now seems to be working again, thankfully.. but this doesn't really help us last Saturday Weird, but glad it's all back to normal.
