So I'm going to repeatedly be prodding this wiki until life arrives. I may be a while.

Here's something for the active players: Starting from no items, how fast can you get poison?

These are the rules:
 * You may start from any point on the map, and you can make sure you have full food/water before you start, just make sure you've not got any major amount of skills from coming there. Any items you collected on your trip to your chosen spot must be discarded.
 * No stealing boats. A lot of travel time can be cut by nabbing a catamaran early on, and this challenge would be a lot less interesting if the optimal starting place for any strategy was "on someone's catamaran". Consider any rafts you made to get to your chosen location built by someone else.
 * Start with no skills, other than the shipbuilding/foraging/swimming you acquired while going to your starting spot. Should be self-explanatory.
 * This can be done on any server (testing or production), so long as it is the same version (or almost identical to) the production servers.
 * Do not accept help from anyone. If someone offers you free items or a lift, politely decline (or swear at them and stab them in the face with a stone pickaxe, your choice). If you find a load of discarded items from when a rich player left, don't pick them up. Avoid using scaffolds made by other people where possible.
 * Use common sense. No hacking, no finding loopholes in the other rules, and don't lie about your time.
