Display name change?
Hi, Dragonbeard... Welcome to Tip.It Forums! :) I should add the note that if you ignore someone, you can also see there what their previous name was for about 30 days, after which the old display name is no longer visible. It works on both sides of the fence, annoyingly enough. (Although for me, it helps with not unignoring some idiots from years in my past.) :geek: ~D. V. "Works for both, not just one or the other..." Devnull (p.s.: LOL, Obtaurian beat me to it...)

Tip.it's Miscellaneous Patch Notes for July
Just in case you didn't know, they made the Lum River Canoe Network available to F2P within the last few months. It has been a great help to my moving around RuneScape. However, having the Canoe sink after every single trip (and therefore having to spend the time to make a new one every time -- sure, we get exp for making another, but sometimes spending that time can be a nuisance) instead of being able to make paddles to enhance it and/or instead of being able to pick it up and take it with me has been a real pain sometimes. Put simply, adding these things regarding the Canoe would allow players the minor choices between spending time and just being able to move fast. The paddles came to mind as a partial after-thought, sort of as something to give the Canoe a chance of not sinking so that the player could then choose to pick it up. (Also, I figured the thing about paddles could also satisfy Jagex's concerns about game balance, just in-case the exp loss wasn't enough.) :geek: No, I don't think something like this would be too much at all. As I understand it, they already do animations for things like the Mine Carts. Further, I've already seen them do stuff with the (now non-existent) GnomeCopters, as well as things like Slippery Ice and some elements of Random Events. So I think it would not be that hard for Jagex to switch from a very lame moving-icon-on-a-map transition to an actual animation of travel with the player character and a Canoe. That, and I'm sure I saw something at some point which depicted an actual travel animation, but I can't remember where I saw it. :-k Yeah, I was the one who suggested about the Blurite. You'll also notice I do a good job of bullet-pointing my lists. ;) So far, so good... Maybe one or two more things from my list I would have made a definite to aim at Jagex, but I understand we're trying to keep this list to the miscellaneous stuff. (Personally, I would love to hammer them for every single mistake they've made since I began playing RuneScape, but that's just me!) :shades: ~D. V. "And there's my thoughts regarding the Canoes..." Devnull (p.s.: Sorry for the insane wall of text!)

Tip.it's Miscellaneous Patch Notes for July
How about... Enable the ability to pick up your Canoe and carry it with you. Enable the ability to watch as your character travels in a Canoe. Enable the ability to make paddles to help your Canoe not sink when it reaches the other end. Make all chairs in the RuneScape OverWorld that don't have NPC's already on them into Locations where people can sit. ...which would all be awesome things to have in RuneScape? :thumbsup: ~D. V.

Providing this doesn't include any bots or banned people that should never have been counted, then....... AWESOME!!! :thumbsup: I'm surprised Tip.It was able to get this large finally. Nice job! :shades: Now, I hate to ruin the moment... But, when are you going to put a news posting up on the main website about it?!?!? :huh: ~D. V. "Cool, but..." Devnull

New Sticky in Rants.
Unluckily, now you need to get Tripsis, Peter, and/or another Admin to go fix that Poll that's also a Global Announcement. Right now, things are way off of their true context, and that's totally screwed up what was in need of handling here. :ohnoes: BTW, this is why it's bad for gamers to get drunk. Put simply, [bleep] happens. <_< ~Mr. D. V. "Whoops, much?" Devnull

'HYT' and what happened here?!
Usually people wear skillcapes because they give better bonuses and just plain look better. Oh, don't worry folks. ;) ... You'll most definitely find me wearing that Team-39 cape on F2P worlds. :shades: ... Well, if you can find me, seeing as I have this way (Damnit!) of unintentionally dodging everyone. :unsure: ... Strangely though, if I want to find someone, they won't dodge me because I somehow ninja in on them. :ph34r: Until I see you... HYT! HYT! HYT! ~D. V. "Knowing my luck, we'll accidentally collide.

New Sticky in Rants.
<*Continues the chant...*> We need a Sub-Forum! We need a Sub-Forum! We need a Sub-Forum! We need a Sub-Forum! We need a Sub-Forum! :angry: And you'd be right in thinking that such doesn't work that well here. :thumbsup: <*points back at their own reasoning on making a Sub-Forum for this stuff*> And there's why. :ugeek: (Off-Topic: Das, when/why did you decide to stop being an Admin? :-s ...) ~D.

'HYT' and what happened here?!
You're doing it wrong. :-w You can thank Jagex and their excluding F2P from the Veteran Cape for that. Been having trouble getting myself to log onto RuneScape currently. I'll probably be on in the near future, but definitely not before I've exhausted my brain on Funorb.com's "Steel Sentinels" game. -.- Ohhhhhh yeah. :thumbsup: ~D. V. "And they wonder why they can't find me... Sorry, LOL..." Devnull

Very odd freezing problem with friends computer
Guydabest, I just noticed that the PSU is only 500W... There is a small chance that it is too small for the Graphics Card, combined with everything else in the system. You might wish to upgrade that to at least a 700W, if not bigger, which would get around any freezing caused by lack of power. :? Which reminds me, is this computer you're trying to fix currently protected by a UPS? :huh: ~D. V. "That PSU looks too small to me..." Devnull

Funny Short Phrase Game (Updated 2011-05-05)
There we go... Thread updated. BTW, I think this is called the removal of... "Knot More" ...because I just cut the length down by 60%. Heh, I even broke the phrase out of the sentence. :P ~D. V. "Fix'd!" Devnull

Funny Short Phrase Game (Updated 2011-05-05)
I'll definitely have to reduce it to 2 pages (40 posts @ 20/page) ... There seems to be a limit on how many ways we can easily come up with here to make a good pun of a single item. Heck, my brain is twisting just to think of something. :unsure: BTW ... "One knot, or two?" ~D. V. "You're right, our brains will get stuck if I don't fix it." Devnull

OMGWTFBBQ u killd dino ):
They had better go back and check both their math and statistical handling, then. I've noticed an effect on the exp due to non-killed (even if non-aggressive) foes. :geek: ~D. V. "Yeah, I know it sounds nuts..." Devnull

OMGWTFBBQ u killd dino ):
For everyone's knowledge, I've actually checked this down in Daemonheim's depths while Dungeoneering in the past. Very sadly, you do happen to lose Dungeoneering exp if you ignore the Dinos, so make sure you kill them. You'll be extremely glad that you spent the ~30 seconds max to do so. Anyone telling you that you lose exp by killing them has been clouded by this idiotic myth and is lying! :shame: ~Mr. D. V. "You now know the truth from this Dungeoneer's brain... Don't ever forget it!" Devnull

Funny Short Phrase Game (Updated 2011-05-05)
Okay, come on... Do I really have to pull out the dictionary and put a proper definition to a word? :blink: ... You're making me feel a gigantic case of... "More Knots to a headache..." My head might as well implode as this rate. That, or I'm gonna have to time it so I end up picking a far better word for the next 100 posts. Or I'm gonna have to change the rules just slightly to accommodate this issue that you've all done a nice job of showing the hellbent hole in. Unless, perhaps, you can tell me why my rule set is fine as-is? :wall: ~D. V. "Augh, no!!! My head!!!" Devnull (p.s.: BTW, I'll leave it to you to figure out if I'm firing off a ton of sarcasm or not. :P ...)

Funny Short Phrase Game (Updated 2011-05-05)
Seeing as I'll play my own game... "Potential tied up in Knots!" ...which basically states what this game is like. I'll fully and completely admit, this game is a bit more intellectually-inclined in its' design, which is something I hadn't fully realized while typing it up. However, it isn't going to get to be very funny until it has had plenty of time to mature, and gotten through its' first 300 (at least this number is my minimum guess) posts. So stick around and stay tuned, because I'm sure there's more to happen once people actually read and take their best shot at joining into this game. :thumbsup: BTW, this post basically shows and example, which includes myself following my rules on this game. It meets all the (in my opinion, reasonably designed, as I did try to keep this as simple as possible and still leave room for crazy people) requirements, and shows plenty of room for people to leave their thoughts. Heck, now I'm waiting for the LOLCats and such to show up. :lol: ~D. V. "It really ain't that hard to get into the groove!" Devnull

Auto-joining guest clan chat
I'll support this. It is far too useful, and in too many ways. I'm surprised that Jagex didn't already implement this feature in-game. Rhetorically speaking, what were they thinking? :huh: ~D. V. "It should have been there..." Devnull

Too expensive for their own good. (No wonder the pirates run amok. The Media Companies charge too [bleep] much.) BTW, somebody come play the game I built already! And for your next word: RuneScape ~D. V. "Enjoy the monkey wrench!" Devnull
