I think she got off easy. I mean with no charges and only a warning. If you think making her cry was bad, compare it to what would have happened if someone that was under Stalin's Soviet Union would have done if a similar threat was made. The government would have wiped her and her family off the face of the planet. And you think making her cry was bad? :|
I wasn't even aware players couldn't make picks. I ran around getting materials to make a friend a mith pick. Then used the mith bar on the anvil, and.......no pick...I don't see any logical reason why you shouldn't be able to make a pick.
Yes, you need the required smithing level to superheat the bar you want. For example, you need 70 smithing to superheat an addy bar, or 85 smithing to superheat a runite bar.
IF the US were to call for an air strike on nuclear facilities Iran would immediately respond by attacking Israel. They have already threatened to do this if they were attacked by the US. This could cause a huge regional war. So the US should be very careful when dealing with this situation. If there is a pre-emptive strike it could get a lot bloodier than Afghanistan and Iraq.
