Today’s been busy, but there was a slight change in plans. Before a very good Sven Co-op run I did with angry and several of his friends, he told me to go on and found where I want to live, but on my alt. That way we both can take our time doing what we need to do. And I will have a home away from home.
I spent all day yesterday after trying to survey the area, making portable, unfinished things to put in my boat and ship them to the new area. I also gathered up all of the tools I would need over there.
So we left the dock. I in my speedy sailboat passed my alt and got there miles before he did. Once I did, I grabbed some of the tools from my boat and started pruning/picking the sprout of all the trees on the upper tier. When I was nearly finished, my alt finally showed up in my local and went over to found the area.
He was successful in planting the settlement, but we had new money issues to deal with. It seemed he needed 2s and 42c to set up a 5×5 settlement, yet he got by it, and on ’07:15:07 on the day of Awakening in week 4 of the starfall of Fires in the year of 1008.’, The settlement of Oceanside Retreat has just been founded by Beanietwo. It strangely got founded as a Village. I’m guessing homesteads don’t exist anymore. But actually this is good, since I’ll be able to live with my alt.
But why Oceanside Retreat, and not a dumb dragon-related name? I felt the name was perfect for the surroundings. It’s right on the ocean, and it’s a retreat from the hetric that is Wurm.
My alt then set the permissions to allow me, a non-citizen, access to everything he has. This is indeed a risky move, due to the fact some ass could just walk right in and tear everything down. To counteract this, I have to get my alt to remove all of my permissions before I log off. This will secure the village from any assholes. This is just until my alt has his HFC skill at par with Anayy’s. When that happens, is the day I officially move out of Volcano Forest.
Anyway, I’ve been just planning things all over the place. Got the house planned (but not roofed.. yet), and moved at sunken forge all the way up here, which was easier than I thought it would be.
My alt has been offline while I do all of this planning (he needs wood scraps to light the stove to start cooking again).
During the planning, a familiar person pops into my local. I nearly choke when I see it’s Sharpnel, and tell him that I’m Beanie from GV. He got a good laugh from my name though. I asked him when he came here. He said a week ago and looking for a place to live.
I told him to go to angry’s village and he left. Don’t know what happened to him since.
Anayy showed up about three hours later after I told him I saw Sharp, and he asked me if I needed anything. He gave me 25 meals, 24 tar (for our torches), and some assorted crops to be used for the planned farm on the lower tier.
When he left, I wondered if I was doing the right thing by ‘leaving’. But of course I’m going to feel that. Overtime, I’m going to get accustomed to the new village.
Well, I got to end this blog entry. I got alot of work to do here.
