Heh.. I was once stuck at the Threeways Roadhouse, in the Northern Territory, for 3 days.. just a petrol station and a camping ground in the middle of nowhere, hundreds of kilometres from anywhere, basically.. I was very broke and very hungry by the time I got out of there..
Most games have some sort of paddling-pool-and-water-wings beginning to ease you in: Oolite takes the rather more Darwinian approach of heaving you straight into the ocean, often with a brick or two in your pockets for luck. ~ Disembodied
If you're going to get stuck somewhere, it's far better if it's hot and dry, rather than cold and wet - believe me, I know! The longest 'sticky' for me was several days on a backroad in the badlands of south-eastern Iran. Very hot and very dry, and hardly any passing vehicles - maybe one every couple of hours or so.
I would advise stilts for the quagmires, and camels for the snowy hills
And any survivors, their debts I will certainly pay. There's always a way!
Damn.. sounds like there must be quite a tale behind that little event.. colour me impressed.

It was a Gaelic football team and one of my friends had been in-advisably crass regarding our friends across the Irish sea. That was fun. Then there was the Bournemouth Bike gang and the pool game.
It's a shame the Rift Worlds aren't connected to the core parcel contracts network.
Hi - You know I was having a look at Parcel and Passenger contracts to see if anyone wanted to go or send something over there. Thanks to Norby it suddenly dawned on me yesterday the strategy for getting across the rift. I guess might be handy to pack some extra fuel and a Galactic Hyperdrive just in case
Enjoyed the trip to Articeso. Very nice, pity I hadn't stocked up on Platinum before I left, its 77.0 credits over here!
Had a nice stay in Interstellar space, collected some alien items and took destroyed a Thargoid who was annoying me. Filled up with some fuel at a Battleship, and got out of there quickly.
Now to visit all the places in the area for the explorer's club, and then to figure out how to get back to the mainland!
