Hands Across Robloxia 2 was a mass protest campaign against unemployment held on May 3, 1987, in which an estimated 3.277 million Robloxians held hands in a Robloxian chain along a straight line across Robloxia. Organized by forty churches, the event was based on and named after Hands Across Robloxia which held a similar event across Robloxia.
Planning
Hands Across Robloxia 2
Upon confirmation of Hands Across Robloxia receiving a sequel, 6,554,000 Robloxian participants donated R$4,000 each to reserve their place in line. It looked like Hands Across Robloxia 2 was ready to go... until one Robloxian found out that if they made a Robloxian chain along a straight line across Robloxia, it would cover a distance of 9,150 miles. (For the sake of comparison, the west-east distance of the North Bloxmerican continent is 9,784.8 miles). The Robloxian told this to the planner, and he hired computer scientists to find a straight line of distance 9,150 miles on Robloxia that would meet his constraints:
- No crossing international borders
- No crossing oceans/seas
However, under his constraints, there was no straight line to be found. So, the planner had to cut down on the number of Robloxians involved by half and refund their donations. However, the remaining Robloxians had to pay an extra R$4,000 to make up for the refunded donations. Most Robloxians did so with relative ease.
The computer scientists then made a straight line that fitted his constraints and found that the straight line would bisect the city of Mad City and Amazeman City, all of which would become the starting cities as well as the two ends.
Soon after, a map of the chain surfaced in mailboxes belonging to the Robloxians who have paid the lump R$8,000 required to secure their position in the chain. The chain's west end starts south of Miablox and ends south of Amaxon. Robloxians were encouraged to drive to the nearest one of the four points (West End, Mad City, Amazeman City, and East End) and insert themselves in.
Eventually, the chain was completed. R$7.8645 billion was donated to charity after the processing cost of R$18.3805 billion that was involved.
Reaction
President Pal Hair saw the chain and decided to focus the rest of his campaign on finding ways to increase employment in Robloxia.
