Another day of helping out (and trying to avoid stepping on other impers’ toes). The lack of organization with these forges, nearly made me want to go over the host. Accidentally imping things that require WS (like a carving knife) instead of BS (a leather knife), is getting on my nerves.
Still, I worked with what I got. Once again there came a time where I had nothing blacksmithing related to do. Wanted to help with Carp, but I needed my carving knife imped (can’t do it myself because it uses WS).
Decided to go semi-AFK near the priest area, watching Youtube videos. A few hours later, the Combat tab starts flashing. Turn around and I’m seeing a goblin king being killed by a guy who’s also semi-AFK. Wow, goblins are pathetic. They’re like the anti-troll.
Something else happened. Heard that familiar sound of lots of things being carved at the same time. ‘Nugget’ (baby chickens) are back, as well as Beefalopes. No sign of a GM, though.
A few hours after dinnertime, a cart race takes shape. Of course I jump for it, knowing I missed out of Enki’s horse race (that I knew I wouldn’t have a chance to win a spot for
it). It took awhile until there were five racers (for the five carts).
It got funny one time, with people suggesting that we head all the way to Whitefay or Greymead dragging these things.. LMAO, no! It would take 2-3 hours to get there, and be extremely risky due to mobs! Fucking hell that was funny, though. Glad it wasn’t serious.

The countdown started, I’m panicking because I wasn’t told to drag the cart. As the counter hits 1, I finally try and getting a permission issue. The racers start pulling ahead of me as I yell “Wait!!” to them.
It took 10 minutes until we finally figured out what was causing this odd issue. Turned out you have to friend the race starter in order to drag the cart. OK, Wurm. 😛
The race restarted, and I smacked my X key to autorun the second the race starter said “GO!!” ..And even though I was in the lead, I lost the race. Because you were supposed to go around the road directional token.. instead of keep going towards Summerholt.
Oh well. Went back to the forge and got back to work imping. That was definitely different for an activity, and it does raise the final vote of this place.
Night came, and things got slightly awkward. Jackjones (the host of this event) was imping items on the same forge as I was. Noticed the forge was low on fuel, and also noticed I no longer had access to the BSB that I used last night to refuel it. Jack claimed he doesn’t have perms to check, just like he doesn’t have perms to rename the forges.
…Who’s really running the show, when I hear this? Not having perms, as the host?? Wtf? This almost reminds me of my first Glasshollow impalong, where it was a real mess of permissions when allowing anyone to help.
Thankfully when he logged for the night, I had perms again. So it was a simple perimeter issue. Also, there’s more activity than there was last night. But since it’s the weekend, it’s to be expected.
Tomorrow is my final full day here at the NEXALong, before B2 and I head WSW towards the LunaLong. And I have a plan I just thought of in order to see (if any), their closing ceremony.
Take B2’s stuff and have DH get to the LunaLong. Once the NEXALong is officially over on the 11th, I can have B2 suicide and spawn him in Lormere. There I can pick him up and give him his stuff back.
I hope the plan works. In theory, it should (as it worked for Tulsi). But… you know Wurm. It loves to throw an overlooked Wogic wrench into my plans (aka the bison not eating a grass tile that a bush/tree is on). Such as, a champ mob in the town that B2 spawns near.
Always possible! Still remember that champ spider the first time I visited Tap Dance.
