The Indy Impalong (named the ‘Shrimpalong’ due to Shrimpiie hosting this year) is now ongoing; though, it has been since yesterday (the 18th).
It promises food, games, imping of your items to 70QL, and Enki once again paying a visit of “spreading holiday cheer” with death.
Also, the Impalong for the first time that I can remember, will last through Christmas all the way to New Years Day. Not sure what the reason is, but from what I read, total n00bs are welcome. Yeah, sure. As long as they can stand the tremendous studdering from so many lights, and boats.
Though this’ll be a good test for my new 16GB of RAM. It’s handled Modded Minecraft, but can it handle an Impalong (and make the game playable with two accounts going at once)?
I’ve also planned out what I’m going to do this year. Starting tomorrow (after I deal with a certain something related to Christmas on the MRT), I’ll need to secure the deed and then get to work on 10 more lamps to be imped. When I’m done (before the 23rd), I’ll try to make the parts required to build B2 a new sailboat (as the old one decayed and it doesn’t feel fair to just buy a new one to pretend I didn’t fuck up). I feel I have to build it, to redeem my fuck up. Plus, it’ll raise my ship-building skills. I don’t care if the boat doesn’t get completed before the 23rd (would be nice), because it isn’t the main priority.
As for B2, last year he played an important part in checking to make sure the lamps were being imped (while I stayed outside of FM to work on my Body Strength, thinking I needed it to move my Knarr). This year will be different (due to the location of the Impalong being in my favor.. though that depends on the wind).
On the 23rd of the afternoon, I’ll get the horses and cart ready, get them to my Knarr, and then we’ll head to FM (in the cart, hopefully no tough mobs show up) and feast on the buffet. While there, I’ll look around for any cloth I need for B2’s boat.
Then we’ll head back to my boat, and sail to a canal that will take us to the Eastern shore of Indy and then head south towards Hermit Island. I hope to arrive by the morning of the 24th (or the evening of the 23rd).
Once there… well, we’ll stay there through Christmas Eve and Day. There would be no point of going back to FM (until after Christmas Day). I hope to also squeeze in the Spleef Tourney on the MRT.
Lastly, according to this WurmClock thing, around January 7th(give or take a day), it’ll be Summer again in Wurm. By then I -hope- to get myself to finally do that Freedom Isles tour.
Kind of like a ‘Winter Vacation’ (even though temps IRL are rumored to be warmer than normal by then).
I want this plan to be as stress-free as possible on my person. Giving myself three days to make the lamps is more than enough time to cover for the multiple fails of ‘working the iron lump with the small anvil’.
