But what if they're both drunk? I believe the law heavily favors the female in cases like that, seeing as its pretty difficult to rape a male. I'm sure if you knocked them out, forced them with a weapon, or physically overpowered them then you could make the case that he was raped. In all other cases, its going to be ruled in favor of the female though.

I lag more in the new Taverly than I do in many areas in Skyrim with many of the high detail settings :twss: Same. Even though maxing skyrim right to the max actually does cause my GPU to stutter the frame rate, I would still get less pauses on Skyrim (at ultra), and they'd be shorter, then I am getting in RuneScape right now. Once I get moving RS is okay, though its as of yesterday trying to move now causes me to lose about 5 entire frames, before they drop below 20. And full screen is now unplayable for me. It just pauses (and its not a network latency issue, I checked), and then totally tanks the frame rate into the gutter (down to about 6 while moving, 30 while standing still though). It's like the game has run out of memory and the pauses are while the computer scrambles to clear enough space in Java's (very limited) memory to get the relevant data in. *Wanders off to get a 64 bit version of Java and figure out how to tell it to use more memory*

I like the lamps. I have no objection to getting a short a random every once in a while, with my favourite being the classroom because of the superior xp reward. The list of randoms I don't like though, is probably a lot larger than the ones I do. My go die in a hole list: -Maze -Leo -Mime -Molly Ones I would rather not have: -Evil Bobs prison -Evil Bobs island -Pinball Ones I actually like: -Class Room -Sandwich Lady -Pillory -Hive assembly -Cert Brothers -Abyssal Plane Malfunction -Pheasant killing -Locked chest on an island I guess its about a 50/50 actually. Anyway, classroom aside, all the randoms I actually like have one thing in common. They can all be completed in under 15 seconds.

It seems to be increasingly common in modern law that even though in many cases people do not actually own the online property, it can still be stolen in the eyes of the law, because someone other than the rightful owner has still taken it from you. It must be a very interesting legal case though. Anyway, I saw this as I was reading the news last night. I'm a bit surprised that assault wasn't on there, but it was an appeal, and the appeal was probably only for the theft charge, so I imagine the youth was already sentenced for the assault part years ago. It's not often that the news makes me smile, but this was one of those times.

From personal experience, if drinking at 15 turned you into an [wagon], then drinking that same drink years later will still turn you into an [wagon].

I'd have to say I agree with the point that Mr. Freeman seems to be trying to make up there in that video. I have never been able to understand how dedicating an entire month to, essentially pointing out how different one ethnicity is could possibly be conducive to eliminating racism. I always get the feeling that its more meant for people of African descent then it is for the 'white' people. A month where they learn about their own culture. But doesn't that just promote that they are different even more? We are fighting racism by shouting "Look! Look at how different we are!"?

The flasks have me intrigued. If I can find a way to get the crafting level without blowing the bank or spending too much time on it, it might make a nice side project for me to pad my bank. It's a significant training prospect though, since that will demand me more than double my current crafting xp. This will be an intriguing problem for me to solve. The kiln looks neat, and I will be interested to see the documentation on it once someone beats it. Since even making a proper attempt against Jad is not of interest to me at the moment, for previous outlined problems with going through all the waves that serve to do nothing but waste my time and my supplies (I'd rather skip right to jad, at normal stats, and face it without being allowed anything in my inventory, just my equip screen). The kiln would seem to be taking boss fighting to the next level, which is quite frankly well beyond my interests or levels, and far beyond the ability of my bank to fund. I do however look forward to the quest, as I always do, and I consider the prospect of being rewarded for completing is ASAP to be appealing, though it seems a bit unfair that I should be rewarded because I happen to have the skills on hand and the good fortune to be playing the game right now. We're I not yet a player, or on hiatus this month, I think I'd be fairly pissed off at missing a chance like that. It's not fair. But since I am on the winning side of this small injustice, I won't waste too much of my time protesting it. I have bigger fish to fry as they say. I am dissapointed that there is no mention of continued graphical improvements to the armors, though I don't think they were mentioned last month either, so there is hope yet. I do hope they are already developed though, and we aren't going to have to sit around waiting while they model the remaining armors in their spare time. So yeah. A quest, a cosmetic update which may or may not happen, an area upgrade I'll enjoy whenever I have the relevant slayer task, and some crafting training which if successful, will turn into a daily chore, and what I expect will be a token event on par with thanks giving. Maybe I am just getting hard to please in my old age :lol: Oh, and no mention of that fix to repair the performance issues that the bot nuke inflicted on us, and by all accounts, the Taverly update has made it even worse (I'm showing reduced performance on my computer with no increase in demand on the system). Good job :thumbsup:

I'm pretty sure here, you have to say no, or otherwise make a clear-as-day sign that you are not consenting to be allowed to call rape. The other case is if your drunk, your not considered legally capable of consenting. Which means that just about everyone (or at least the males) on my university campus could probably be charged with rape on the grounds that they ahve all slept with someone who was drunk at some point (not sure what the limitations on it are). If she doesn't want to ruin his life on the grounds that she didn't actually say no, then I hope she does the right thing and says that in court, or outright refuses to testify against him and gets the case thrown out. Her parents might have forced her to go to the police, but they can't force her to testify against him. Off to the docotrs again. Two visits left then I won't be going so often. Got up a goodly bit earlier today than I did yesterday too, which is nice. Now if only it would stop raining, and get just a bit colder so that we could get more snow instead, and I might be able to go skiiing this year.

Something I'd like to point out... Jrhairrychest, what I see you as advocating is a retribution based justice system, where substandard health care is part of the retribution (whether that's your line of thought is irrelevant, all that's relevant to my point is the result). This would be in contrast to a rehabilitation based justice system like Norway. Here is an article on Norwegian Justice system. Here is one on one of their prisions, which notes the Recidivisim rate of criminals. According to the article, the recidivisim rate for the US and the UK is around 50 to 60%. A couple years after that prision was built in Norway, they are looking at a recidivisim rate of about 20%. My point is, that counter to intuition, rehabilitating criminals and trying to make them productive members of society seems to work a lot better then throwing them in Jail for as long as possible (the deterrent system). The problem with substandard healthcare is twofold the way I see it. First, your alienating them from the society you want them to integrate into, by making them into second class citizens. Your strait up telling them they are worth less than someone else because of the choices they made, even though I figure there is a pretty good chance those choices were driven by circumstance (this is why poverty leads to a higher crime rate), and I bet that does wonders for any effort to try and turn them into something other than a criminal so that they aren't back in jail in a couple years after being released. The other problem is if you leave them with injuries, especially visible ones, your making it harder for them to integrate into society, even if they are trying. Things like excessive scarring that could have been prevented with better treatment. Even from a money standpoint, if rehabilitation is the goal, then if you succeed in turning them into non criminals, the money saved by not paying for them in jail will almost certainly pay for their medical care.

I never thought about that. Getting a burthrope task if you have none set should be just fine and dandy. It won't count towards your streak, burthrope never does, but the reset is a penatly for having burthrop override your currents task, not from just getting one there. I guess I never thought of that because the first thing I do after finishing a task is get a new one. It's like I always have a task. Guess I have some gargoyles to kill so that I may continue. And if they stretch out the armor updates, and they probably will because [bleep] you all the people waiting, I'm not going to be happy about it. But then, they haven't rolled out the bts yet, so maybe they are going to fire them out over the next two weeks.

The troll is going to solve my excess duplicate pet problem. He's going to be baby penguin (wrong colour) followed by raven (because again, I have a duplicate). I'm not enjoying the preview of the three new armours because I have dragon, and I want it to look that nice RIGHT NOW. Also, when I saw the new armadyl all I could think was Watchmen! It reminds me of the owl dude, especially the helmet. That said, the current armadyl armour is uglier than sin, so its still a pretty vast improvement. I really like the new armours, though I was under the impression they were going to only do bronze-dragon + barrows. But the new leather and robes look really nice, so I'm glad they did that. Apparenlty I can't finish the tutorial because I quite frankly refuse to reset my task streak. I figure they'll fix that in a while somehow, and I'll finish it after that.

Something I wanted to do as a child was attach say 8 in wheels (with proper air filled tired) to a sled, so I could go down hills in the winter. To solve the issue of stopping, I'd probably tie an anchor (have a nice 20 pounder knocking around) to the sled and drop it when I wanted to stop. Of course, the hill I use to go sledding on leads right to the lake, so stopping wouldn't really be an issue anyway. Just ride it right on into the water. I also wanted a zip line leading from the house to the lake. How are the goals going Will?

That does sound like fun, but do you know what would be even better? Take an air mattress (mind you, its going to need to be at least 6-8inch thick), go to a snow covered hill, and ride it down. I've tried it with inner tubes, and aside from the part where they perpetually feel like their going to flip, its loads of fun. On second thought, the tippy feeling can add to the fun.

I thought we discussed this. This is not the staff pow wow bed anymore. But I have a nice place, so I'll set up some air beds in the living room and we can all bounce around there.

4 and counting

Just a point, it actually is a loss if you would have paid for the product had a free option not been available. It's only not a loss in the case where, if obtaining for free was not an option, you would have instead simply gone your entire life without purchasing the product (essentially living without). So it can be win neutral, but it is not automatically so. Unless your trying to argue that a lost sale is not in fact a loss?

Just touching on what DV said, I just learned about the single core problem myself. Apparently, the multi core support is coded and in the game, but its currently disabled until they finish testing it or whatnot. I also don't think their in a hurry, because they feel a lot more limited by memory constraints than processor (probably something to do with the default memory usage cap that Java has). Multicores seem to be able to mitigate it a bit by moving all the java overhead onto the other cores. Here's to hoping they release their announced fix sooner rather than later.

Bad news guys, you need to find a new bed tonight. Maybe one belonging to someone who is single this time? The only time I have ever been able to really enjoy dunge, is when there is nothing else in the game I want to do. I can like RuneScape, or DungeScape, but not both at once.

This has been moved to clan recruitment, where all recruitment oriented threads for clans belong.

Can you be more specific with the kind of trouble your having? People mean a lot of different things when they say lag. Do you mean lag spikes, where you seem to lose connection, real lag where the game consistently takes time to respond, or is the game stuttering, where it pauses briefly every couple of seconds. Since it sounds like, for whatever reason, the system demand is part of the problem, you might try using full screen instead of resizeable. Full screen mode is easier for the computer to deal with and might help you out.

I am now tied for last place with Kim. And apparently I need a bigger bed, because I only have a double right now. And we have another shot at staff only people!

Only if you don't snore.

Interupts awkward conversation on the way to bed.

I want in on this. I'm also joining in the cuddle of love <3

My best guess is that she can't help herself. She realizes that she's hurting you by being distant, and then goes all 'hit' to try and compensate for it. Or she realizes that she is pushing you away, has second thoughts, and tries to get you back. Probably something along those lines. Under the assumption that she really does love you, and I have no reason to believe otherwise, then cutting things off with you (which is pretty much inevitable since I doubt you'll both ever be 'just friends'), or at least really killing the relationship once and for all (if you do try to stick it out and get to the top of 'just friends mountain'), is going to be as hard for her as it is for you. Even if she moves on, that doesn't necessarily kill the feelings she has for you (some people seem to only ever have feelings for one person at a time, but since she admitted to having a crush on you at the same time that she used to have a boyfriend, that would not seem to be the case here). It might eventually be up to you to kill this thing if she can't control herself. And yeah, that does kind of contradict my first sentence up there, but I guess that's what happens when I give it more thoughts. ^This makes more sense^
