I can show you examples of fishing competitions that didn't happen because Enki showed up and used his magic to distract everyone. The schedule for games has been pretty rough all week because things happen, overrun, or get delayed all the time... and it's fine, it's the nature of a community event ran and organised to be fun instead of totally inflexible. A lot of people have really enjoyed the GM antics this week, spawning mobs and bringing a lot of unique combat fun for a lot of people. If you don't enjoy that then I suggest you organise your own impalong with a strict schedule and no GMs allowed. I'm sure it would be popular. But seriously... the organisers have put a colossal amount of work into running this event. Sure, not everything goes to plan all the time, but what matters is how much work they've done and how extremely hard they've tried. Overall, it has been a huge success, with nearly a hundred people in local at peak time on most days. And yet you're here flaming on the forums because a fishing event didn't happen exactly on schedule in a community event that's free to attend? Embarrassing edit: wait were those replies satire? It's genuinely hard to tell lmao edi2: confirmed a few posts below... this isn't satire... Edited July 25, 2022 by Docterchese not sure if satire 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 24, 2022 There was plenty of fun events at the impalong. Fabricant was running deal or no deal. Then there was wurmian lawn darts, fish slapping competitions, cupcake pushing, chess and checkers matches, just to make a few. And yes some gms made some appearances and spawned some baddies for us all to try to survive. It was a lot of fun and it’s always great to see the community come together and help each other. I can’t wait for next year! 15 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2022 Timing couldn't be worse for me (ban school summer break 🤓). Still managed tot introduce my 11yo to a Wurm impalong. We played a chess game and he won 😳. Ofc after he went to bed I had to rematch and win for my journal goal lol. In the few hours of my stay I have seen (GM spawned cute chicks and devilish beasts) and smelled (Fabs cheesy DonD) all the wonders of Wurm people coming together. Thx to Virusmd and all the great staff and the glorious impers and priests to bring such joy to us many. *Bows* 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 25, 2022 A game of chess so exciting, even the GM wanted to spectate Two GMs spawning mobs in the arena at once = total carnage Fish Slapping! Muffin Mayhem! Drake hide suit drawing at the token, congrats Joshuacalvert! 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 25, 2022 Sorry you could not attend, Finn. Also had only some hours on 3 days, and missed a lot, but was truly great and much fun. Thanks to VirusMD, friendalong team, and GMs for that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Massive thanks to everyone who messaged me via FB,Forums,Discord, Arrow shot thru window, carrier pigeon And to all the people at the impalong for making it and imping it. Totally Gobsmacked.

Posted July 25, 2022 Allright, I also have to leave the event. Served more than 12200 imp actions and raised my BS from 97 to 97.75 and thus way more than I was hoping for. Many thanks to all the nice conversations I had at the event and see you all at the next impalong! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 25, 2022 I had so.much.fun here! Such good company, truly hilarious conversations and made several new friends. Ath fought and died well in the arena, and helped with imping the burgeoning BS station. Tosca did her healing and drizzles, and made it to 100 faith at the sermon party, WOOT! Won a couple of great items as prizes during the contests and events & here they are nicely settled in their new home: https://flic.kr/s/aHBqjzZtqG Thank you for your hospitality Virus, Goldfinch and the other admins. They do such an amazing job running this event; it just gets better every year. And you better believe if I'm available this time next year, will be there. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 25, 2022 I had so much fun at this event. Despite what someone might be saying, thank you @VirusMDand @Goldfinchfor putting this on and it was an honor to be a Wurm Lord. Impalongs are one of my favorite events in this game and having hosted one myself from the very beginning, they are not easy to put together. So respect out to you two for putting on 5 of them in a row, amazing. As mentioned before, impalongs are meant to be fun not a cash grab or somewhere you can come expecting to win a bunch of really cool prizes. The prizes and donations, just like the impings itself, is all donated out of peoples personal stocks and pockets. The events are also held as a way to win prizes and to keep things going. Back when I first started playing impalongs used to be just standing around imping at forge and talking, but over the years event hosts have been super creative in making games and events. I mean Muffin Maddness!?!?! I have literally never heard of this idea and it was an amazing game that I'm sure had a lot of testing as it went flawless. With all that being said and without jumping into any sort of undesired discussions; thank you again for such an amazing event and I look forward to the 6th Annual Friend-Along!!!! 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
