  1. Confront him (school is probably the best bet), but be careful how you do it. Don't approch him like a man on a mission (even if that is what you are). You have to be calm and cool. Don't act like nothing happened, that would just creep him out. Don't be angry, you won't be able to pry information out of him if he becomes passionate and/or defffensive. BE direct and to the point but keep a level head. A simple "Hey man, whats up with deleting blog?" would probably get you started. Please note I rarely talk like that. I am actualy pretty pro (psuedo) proper english. What I gave is a local relaxed dialect left over from the 80's, and very useful in confrontations when you are tryign to keep a situation from escalating (in my experiance). My final advice is don't swear. Make it a semi-casual question, but don't be wishy-washy or hes going to tell you to [bleep] off. If he tells you to piss off anyways, feel free to escalate the situation double time, start raising your voice. If you are bigger than he is and hes being a [puncture], feel free to become physicaly intimidating (this makes it harder for him to think on his feet and thus defend against your querrys). Now, if he's more depressed than angry at you for asking, you have two options. You can pursue the issue yourself if you guys have that kind of relationship (and no you don't always need to be gay for that to happen :roll: ). Otherwise you need to pry into whats going on via other friends (girls are often much more perceptive in this matter, consult them if possible). So to reiterate my point. Do not escalate a situation until your friend escalates it for you.
  2. Just because we percive time does not mean time exists. Time could be an illusion caused by our inability to percive all events simualtaneously, thus we percive them in a chronological order and make decisions on what we have percived thus far. Implications of that idea can include free will being an illusion since all events are allready set in stone, and any intervention (such as time travel) are also pre scripted events. Because we can not observe the world without time, there is no way to know if time is a factual thing, or as stated, merly an illsion caused by our own inadaquecies.
  3. Facism and Democracy are two mutualy exclusive concepts. Democracy, is rule by the people (by majority representation usualy, though in smaller systems more complete representation is possible). A Facist system (ie communist), is a system where you have one ruler with absolute power. You can't have one ruler with absolute power in a system where majority is the rule. What happens when the majoruty disagrees with the dictator? Probably civil war. As I said, the concepts are mutualy exclusive, you can't have both.
  4. I belive the way the system is set up is that any dragon drop could be corrupted or uncorrupted. The system was not supposed to let uncorupted DFH's drop, but since its seems that no distinction is made they drop them anyways. I think they are slow to fix this because part of the drop system needs to be recoded with a patch to try and stop the problem. If it nearly eliminates all DFH drops, they need the bug reports to know if there are still one or two being dropped on occasion so they can make a better patch to solve the problem. I wish they would let them drop so the price can go down and I can hope to own a DFH spomeday thats not in 2010.
  5. Mithril is not a real metal. As far as I know the first use of mithril (first mention in literature) is J.R.R. Tolkien's Lord of the Rings series. In Lord of the Rings, mithril is a silvery metal, harder than tempered steel but much lighter. It looks much the same as silver, but never tarnishes. It was said to be about as workable as copper (which you would think is a contradiction, but I belived this refers to mithril in a state before the dwarves turn it into the metal mithril). Adamant comes from teh greek word adamas (untameable). If you look up teh meaning you get this (or some varriation): adjective 1. utterly unyielding in attitude or opinion in spite of all appeals, urgings, etc. 2. too hard to cut, break, or pierce. noun 3. any impenetrably or unyieldingly hard substance. 4. a legendary stone of impenetrable hardness, formerly sometimes identified with the diamond. To be adamant about something means you are sure of yourself, unyeilding in your opionion, and stubborn. Easily described as 'stead fast'. Something (as opposed to someone) that is adamant would be the noun meaning, essentialy very hard (note that hard and strong not not synonomus. A dimond may be the hardest substance on earth, yet dimond is shattered easily enough). Again. MITHRIL IS NOT A REAL METAL!
  6. I keep spelliing 'the' as 'teh' because my left hand can reach 'e' beofore my right hand gets to 'h'. I try to go back and get them all, it annoys me to. I did get the balance from another game. In all fairness I was tired and should not have used that as balance because SFCIII (starfleet command) seems to treat faster weaker weapons as slightly more powerful. I think statisticly, a weapon going faster with a little over half the maximum damage will average out to do more damage over time because a bad hit gets averaged out by a good hit relatively quickly. If you screw up with a 2h, b axe, or even longsword in pvp combat, you might allow you opponent to get away. If you screw up with a scimitar or a dagger (or whip), the weapon attacks again sooner hopefully rectifying the bad hit (though in my experiance a weapon cycles from good hits to bad then back again). For the 96%, it seemed like a fair value. Almost everyone who uses a d long does so because they hgave not done monlkey madness.
  7. Way back before Jagex abolished customer support, I did send a querry to Jagex about videos of RuneScape and youtube. This was the only question they ever answered too. As long as your video does not promote any rule breaking, show people how to exploit glitches etc, Jagex will not ask youtube to remove them. Your video was taken down for copyright infringment, an issue which Jagex is not worried about.
  8. Zammorack is the god of chaos. Saradomin is the god of wisdom, and Guthix is th egod of nature and balance (the first two represent 2 things each, I forget what teh other things are). Armandyl has been proposed to be the god of law and order, adn zaros, well no one really knows.
  9. As long as ScapeRune goes and the maze stays (its the only random that consistantly gives a large profit) I am happy. Actualy Molly needs to go too and Hyde can stay so I can make free 4 dose potions while hunting.
  10. Actualy 1,016 kg is grater than a tonne (1,000 kg) and definatly more than a ton (907.2 kg). For future referance, a kg is about 2.2 lb. And a tonne is often called a 'metric tonne' and is equal to a 'long ton', the imperial equivalent.
  11. Balance is achived at about 70% damage with double the ROF. Teh scimmy is more than 70% of the longsword damage (its 90%) so it does not need double speed to be more effective. I would say at its ROF, it is significantly stronger than the long sword. It has some penalties to accuracy though, so at the end of the day the weapons are actualy about equal. from experiance, the scimmitar is better, probably explaining why 96% of RS players choose the scim over long sword.

    I hate training range. I ahte watching steel arrows from magic shortbows penatrate my dragon chainbody and legs like a hot wire through butter. I hate how we can magicly loose more than 2 arrows per minute from a longbow (5 is really pushing it for a short bow too). Then you get a cross bow. In runescape we one hand a weapon that to reload reqires you to use you feet to keep teh end on the ground while you use two hands to pull the string back. Granted I don't expect the rangers to have to deal with realistic ROF weapons, that'd be insane. But I do not like it when people with range levels bellow my defense level can penatrate full dragon using magic bows and less doing damage at such a pace an ancient mage would be hard pressed to keep up. When a melee person would rather take on an ancient mage in CW rather than a same leveled archer, its pretty sad.
  13. I'd be happy if I got furniture. All I get is various pices of rune armour.
  14. Since you bring up the coper + tin = bronze I feel compelled to point out another: Iron + Coal (Carbon) = Steel (a crude form by modern standards where a steel alloy may have many other metals such as zinc, tin, chromium and others in addition to carbon). There is no zinc in the game but a brass necklace does exist (which would be copper and zinc). Red, green, and blue are the primary colours (of light). Green is often considered a nutral colour because it is in the middel of the visible spectrum being neither a warm colour (red, orange, yellow), or a cool colour (blue, indigo, violet). Red is accosiated with evil. Blue is often considered reds opposite, and is a cool and calm colour anyways. In this way the colours represent their respective gods. Zaros is purple, the true colour of rayalty and power (arguable). You will note I said RGB are the light primary colours. These are not to be confused with the primary pigment colours (often said to be red, blue and yellow) which are cyan, magenta, and yellow (incidently they are the secondary colours of light). After such things as gravity, light, and the copper alloy, there is not alot of science left in the game. There is the blast furnace, named after a real device (a blast furnace allows the creation of steel alloys, it does not allow less carbon to be used). Thats about all I can think of.
  15. I will do clues like many people here, even if I don't expect anything from them. I fall victem to teh 'possible reward' outweighs the neigh on immpossibility of getting said reward. This is the reason I don't ever go to casinos. If I can't bear to drop that clue in a virtual game, what are the chances I can pry myself off a slot machine. Short of Texas Hold 'em, which I happen to be resonably good at, I would lose alot of money gambling and be just as mad about it as I am when I get bad clue rewards. I don't even get firelighters anymore which while worthless, are very entertaining and have useful applications at parties. I actualy do clues for the (high stress) relif I get from skilling. By high stress I mean I can't kill a revenant until Jagex gives me the ability to copy myself and outnumber the revs 3 to 1. I could go for rareer drops (though 1 in 1000 is fretty damn rare, and yes that is about the average fro my last 5 level 3 clues from ankous, all without killing more than 100 of any other creature).
  16. I stopped doing level 3 when I realised that if I didn't sell the items I had to buy to complete the clue (which I didn't always do because often needed the item again for future clues), the rewards didn't cover the cost (tele runes, item for uri, etc.) of finishing. Whether I can sell the items and make a small proffit is irrelevant. If the cost of items needed to complete a clue is less than the proffit gained from selling the reward, theres an issue and a waste time. I still do level 2's since I actualy have higher proffit margins on these clues. Level 2's are much shorter, so I can sometimes make more money off a level 2 than I could (via other methods) in the time it takes to complete. For level 3's, I have never had higher proffit from clue (cost of uri items not even considered) than proffit I could have made form other methods in the time it takes ot complete the clue.
  17. Once it makes it to your stomach you should be fine. My dad once ate a tab of a pop can on accident. A quick look at a reactivity series shows that HCl (Hydrochloric Acid) can't dissolve alluminum (Al being more reactive than H). Once in the stomach, there aren't any big muccels doing work so things can drift through without tearring things. All this continues right up to the end where I would advise if you feel a sharp pain, don't contract because the sphincter under concious control (and the unconcious one) are both conected to quite strong muccels. Chances are though, the glass with be encased in something more normal by then and you won't even notice it. And I don't think theres much hope of stomach acid dissolving glass. Stomach acid is not all that strong. Now if the glass is bigger than your but hole (ie cant fit through a hole that size in any direction without touching sides) theres an issue. Skin there is not strong so it will cut.
  18. Theres a guy in my class whom people wanted to dress up as Jesus since he actualy looks like your stereo typical jesus already. A few years ago one guy didn't really dress up, he just made himself a little paper name tag with "God" written on it. For the second guy, before that happened we had been in a public speaking class where we did an exercise where you stand inforont of the class, they give you a topic (anything) and you have to talk about it (making stuff up is allowed and encouraged). Someone asked him to talk about God and he said "Well what can I say about myself...". He was koking of course, but all three incidents could have been offensive. I guess no one dressed up as a devil since thats also a religious figure.
  19. Looks are the first thing I notice sice I usualy see a girl before I hear her. In that department I have a few basic guidelines: - Long hair is best, preferably nothing shorter than shoulder lenth. - Strait hair. Wavy hair also works (alot of girls with strain hair make it wavy on special occasions). - Propertions. I don't want beth size (from Dog the Bounty Hunter) boobs, or an outrageously large [wagon] if its not proportioned to the rest of the body. Not being over weight is key. - Too much makeup is a turnoff for me. I find it makes people look like plastic. Then theres personalyity. Ultimatly more important since it dosen't matter how good you look, if I cant stand your personality things just wont work. - She has to be inteligent. For this I preffer wisdom over knowledge. Basicly good logic and resoning. If we ever get into an argument I do not want to be arguing with the intelectual equivalent of a brick. When we get along, I wan't engaging discussion. We don't need to agree on everything (how boring that would be), but debating neds to make sense. - A sense of humor. I do not mean bathroom humor (thats what family guys for) though its best if they can appreciate it (because I watch family guy). I have been told I have a dry sense of humor, and thats my preferance in other people. - Movies with Gratuitous (excesive) Violence. If I am going to end up watching chick flicks, she can watch movies with action (think "Bad Boys" and "The Transporter") and then other action movies such as Star Wars and the Stargate Series. I can learn to like a chickflick (I hope), she can do the same for me. - The word 'like'. If it gets used in every sentance the relationship is no go. I don't mind teh word when used appropriatly or even in slight excess, but when it crops up one or more times in four of every five sentances theres a problem. - Height. I don't seem to have this problem. I have met precious few girls reently over 6ft tall. Really short is not my preferance, I don't like needing to look down. I think idealy she would be an inch or two shorther than me so 5'10" to 5'11". Then there are some considerations if things go long term: - Religion. I am not overly religious but there are some personal stipulations. I don't actualy care what religion she belongs to (not entirely true, I have some exceptions), as long as I don't need to be part of it. Teh big one is (Roman) Catholic which I flatly refuse to become. You might get me into a Protastant church, but United (Church of Canada) is my religion. There are denominations of christianity which I can't stand for personal resons, the big one being Seventh Day Adventist. Judaism is good so long as we can observe both Juwish and Christian holidays. Other religions can be handled on an individual basis. Athiesim/Agnositicisim are ok so long as it does not infringe om my belifies (my dad attends church about 3 times a year so I go with my mom).
  20. Arrow: Steel Bolt: Long kebbit CB: 95(96?)/103 Range: 53
  21. Money wont buy you happiness, but it will enhance it. Having piles of gold in your bank will not make the game enjoyable, but if you life combat, its going to be more fun wearing full dragon than full rune. So ya, the money will not make you happy, but it can make you happier.
  22. I did a fake pic of that a few years back.
  23. I think we all, TC included, realise it is just for the halloween atmosphere which is traditionaly dark/at night. But this does show nighttime would be possible. Years ago I thought they should this into the game and make monsters more powerful during the night but keep the roads as a safe zone where monsters wont wander unless they are already attacking. I figured a 2 hour rotation would work. You don't want it real time because then some people always play at night and many only play mostly during the day.
  24. I don't think the body/legs are coming from monsters. Someone already pointed out there are precious few monsters who drop those items. They also aren't coming from stores (the guy who gives dragon slayer in edge and the champ guild) because the market price fro rune armour has been cheeper than those stores for over 3 years. I think that most of the bodys are coming from clue scrolls, and many legs too. From my personal experiance, full helms, plate bodys, and platelegs are teh most common rune items from TT. After that you have smithers, who I hear make plenty of platelegs, though I expect a few have enough money from other things that they will smmith platebodys too because it is faster. I think the for the plate body/legs you get from TT>smithing>monster drops I think for the full helm TT>monter drop>smithing For all else monster drop>TT>smithing though that could be TT>monster drop>smithing I didn't put shops in because that would require examining all teh store and GE prices which wont happen right now.
  25. You are right. If not likeing indian girls makes you racist then not loving both genders would make you sexist.
