Posted February 11, 2021 Introducing Wurm's newest event: Meadhalla is a social event taking place on the Last Saturday of February. It will take place at J10 on Release, Southern Freedom Isles. While we're not able to leave the house, we can still get together here! Come along, tell jokes and join in the events. We have: 🍺 Mead 🍺 ♟️ 4 checkers tables ♟️ ❓ Show-and-Tell ❓ 🐦 Pin the pile of rocks on the pheasant 🐦 🍻 More mead 🍻 🧀 Cheesy Puns 🧀 ☠️ Deadly obstacle course ☠️ 🐟 Fish slapfights 🐟 📷 Photobooths 📷 🛢️ So much mead 🛢️ ❗ And more! ❗ "Well what do I need to bring?" Yourself, but also a couple of items for the events, as outlined here: 🧀 Cheesy Puns 🧀: When renaming regular items, there is a limit of 20 characters. Your challenge is thusly: you must make the lowest QL cheese you can manage, and fit a pun into those 20 characters (it doesn't have to be about cheese) to truly have the "worst pun." ❓ Show-and-Tell ❓: While watching Wurm streams, I've noticed sometimes people had unusual items, or items special to them. Bring them along, equip them in your hand (do not drop them) and tell us what makes it so special! Here's your customary timer, it shows the start time but the event will run until the crowds thin out: And some disclaimers: No, this is not an elaborate unique announcement. There are no uniques here, and I have no intent to take one here. None of the events have prizes; this is by design, though there is a little something for completing the deadly obstacle course. Do not drop items you are not willing to lose, I cannot keep track of them. You're likely to get diseased coming here, but that's something the food and drink present should shake off no problem. You enter into the Deadly Obstacle Course of your own will, knowing the consequences can contain (but are not limited to) death. Drink responsibly. 23 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 24, 2021 Just over three days left, I'm so excited I could just fall off my horse. I have just a few questions for our esteemed host: 1) How many entries are we allowed to the pun contest? Seems like it might be pretty cheesy for someone to show up with twenty puns. 2) Will we need to label our cheese in any way? 3) Who does your hair? 4) What is your favorite real life cheese and why is it baby swiss? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Changed my mind here; while there is indeed no prize, there are sanity limits. Secondary is how exhausting it would be to read so many. Primarily, how many cheeses can fit on a table or, worst comes to worst, in a barrel. As such, I will be asking that people only bring one cheese per cheese type. So one cow, one feta, etc. I will reiterate that this is a maximum, with the minimum being 0, so don't feel any pressure to bring more if you only have one. 2) Nope 3) I've seen the same barber since I was a wee lad. I won't reveal who, since that narrows where I live to a high degree, but I look forward to seeing him again when this Covid mess is over. Any times I've gone elsewhere I've found whole new ways to regret it; he's about the only one who seems to understand my curls. 4) You're a monster for making me choose. I recently had some Wensleydale that knocked my socks off combined with crackers. Good camembert too. But the one I cannot quit is some red leister with some caramelized onion chutney. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 24, 2021 I've been dying for more events on Wurm, but looks like I'm working that day. Hope it will still be going in the PM, Eastern time zone :,( 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 24, 2021 I will be there to imp weapons at the mega super sonic boom forge. I've been situated away from the drinking hall so you don't all catch and spread the clap from me, but feel free to come and give me something iron to imp. Still grinding WS in the run up, hoping to hit that 90 so I can take stuff up nice and high 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 27, 2021 @StanleeWhat is the best way to get to your deed if im sailing into the NW corner of release - can i get on the road from the deeds on the coastline or should I take the banana canal to your deed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted February 27, 2021 @Goldfinch, take the Banana canal and then turn south at the first opportunity (if you go by the Dragon HoTa, you went too far). That'll take you to Drowned Priest Lake, where Meadhalla is adjacent to! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 28, 2021 (edited) Phew! Meadhalla is over! My first regret - not taking more screenshots ready for this post. But alas! No, it still wasn't an elaborate unique slaying, the dragon is not real, stop saying it was real! It went well, capping at around 24 characters in local! I truly hope everyone who came enjoyed themselves as much as I did, or more! Only about 2 barrels of mead were drunk! For shame! Guess it'll just taste all the better next year My biggest criticism was that the more Theme-parky "everything is here, do what you want" didn't seem to work so well. People seemed to more enjoy seeing what was going on, which suggests more structure is needed at future events, such as Fabricant's gameshow (which went great!). And, as was inspired by one image, maybe more team games too. "Competitive catapulting" sounds like the worst best thing I could come up with. I love it, and the people who imp my carpentry will hate it. A massive thank you to those who helped me put this together, and those who attended for making it so memorable! Five people survived the gauntlet and claimed a shirt. Two deaths. Not so bad, eh? If anyone else got good screenshots, please post them! Simply punderful Spoiler Also I recommend mead, was a good drink. Edited February 28, 2021 by Stanlee added gauntlet 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted February 28, 2021 Even though the gameshow had the completely wrong setting, I'm glad we still tried it. Many thanks to Shydow, Ulviirala, Gaffer, Bakhita and Stanlee for participating at such short notice. It will return again in the correct format at some point in the future. Maybe. Also +1 to event structure. We need to be told what to do because we don't know how to have fun by ourselves. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
