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

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

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

Repaired magazine. Chocolate Egg. ~D. V. "From Sticky To Sweet..." Devnull

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

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 ...)

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

Cooking a bread loaf. :P (Yes, another one for RS...) Knot :twisted: ~D. V. "Heh heh ... Next!" Devnull (p.s.: You all really should come check my game out... It's loaded with so much potential that's going to waste because of a lack of players.)

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

Since we're bent out on the note of it, guess what I got when I used the starting phrase "Hot RuneScape"... ... which left me wondering, "Did Google's server get hot under its' collar?", seeing as I haven't been doing any searching that would result in this. I wonder if it got affected by the wedding in the UK... :-k ~D. V. "Damnit, Google, you blew it again!!!" Devnull (p.s.: Studio17, you might find the "Crop" feature on your photo software useful...)

Alright, first generic question for you... Have you got all the dust out of your laptop? If it's overheating, it will slow down to prevent a total burnout. ~D. V. "Dust... the bane of computers anywhere..." Devnull

THE FUNNY SHORT PHRASE GAME! (Last Updated: May 5th, 2011 - Overly long lengths changed down to suitable levels.) Introduction: So, it finally came to be up to me to launch off a forum game. It took me a few, going through strange and bizarre possibilities, trying to figure out what would work. Then it finally hit me as I was plastering myself with pun after pun, "Why not base a game on a 'key word' that people have to use? And how about making it into a short phrase?", which I found very quickly that I liked, and thought the rest of you might like as well... Honestly, I'm hoping this game will be self-sustaining, even when I'm away. So, up next are the rather simple rules of what I hope will turn out to be a fine game for everyone here on the forums... Rules: For every 5 2 pages (in other words, 100 40 posts, in-case you're not using the "20 per page" setting) of this thread, there will be a "key word" that you must use as part of a short phrase that you'll then think up and post. When you post your short phrase with its' included "key word", your choice of words MUST be family-friendly, and also must be within the limits of Tip.It Forum Rules. (Failure to follow this rule WILL result in a report and a moderator's edit. I am greatly encouraging reports to the Tip.It Forum Admins in the event that someone wants to get dirty with their word choices. This is to be kept a CLEAN forum game, so foul words are off-limits!!!) Failure to use the "key word" in your short phrase will result in being open to being utterly stomped in some weird manner by someone else in the thread, who will do that in the same post that they get to think up their short phrase on. Short phrases that are posted must have enough space around them to make them fully visible to everyone else, as to avoid confusion during posting to the thread. At the end of every 5th 2nd page (100th 40th post), a new word is to be picked by the person posting at that time, which will then be used for the next 5 2 pages (100 40 posts)... Each new word that is chosen MUST be family-friendly, and also must be within the limits of Tip.It Forum Rules. (Failure to follow this rule WILL result in a report and a moderator's edit. I am greatly encouraging reports to the Tip.It Forum Admins in the event that someone wants to get dirty with their word choices. This is to be kept a CLEAN forum game, so foul words are off-limits!!!) Should a person posting at a 5th 2nd page (100th 40th post) end line fail to pick a next word to continue the game with, they are also open to being utterly stomped, and it is up to the person stomping them to pick the next word. (Obviously, failing to stomp someone and then pick the next word will result in your own being open to getting stomped, so don't forget to pick that next word!) No user's chosen posted phrase may be the same exact phrase as a previous user's chosen phrase, for any given single "Key word"... (Should any post be found to use the same chosen phrase, thereby repeating one that has already been used, the person who duplicated the previous poster's phrase is open to being stomped. Again, stomp them, post your phrase, and move on!) Now, our first word for this thread is going to be... "Knot" ...since it is what I was thinking of at the time I thought of this game... :P Examples(which, obviously, you may not use yourself because I'm using them up right now) ... "Knot funny!" "Oh no, Knot again!" (Yes, HitchHiker's Guide pun there...) "One Knot, or another..." And that's it, folks! With eight simple rules, I leave it to you now to bring hilarity to this thread! :lol: ~D. V. "I have the feeling this thread is going to end up taking on a taste of 'Monty Python' in where it goes..." Devnull

Alright, nevermind everyone... It unstuck after clearing the cache. Perplexing, however, because my "re-check on every page load" setting on this browser should have caused a reload of the image already. :-k I also noticed after the image loaded that it actually came directly from the forums. I thought all of these had been moved to the CDN? Ah well, must have been the internet preventing me from originally getting the image before and so my browser got stuck due to it. :( ~D. V. "Lock this thread, I apparently hit a bump in the internet pipe..." Devnull (p.s.: I've requested a thread lock...)

Killerred, browser versions shouldn't matter in this situation. And I really don't think the CDN is being picky about browser versions either. This is a matter of just one image failing to come down the internet pipe while all the others are loading from the CDN servers. <.< As for me, I'm going to try exiting my browser and clearing the cache, as well as flushing my TCP/IP DNS Stack. If it doesn't unstick after that, then I'm going to be reasonably sure the problem is either in the CDN or the TIF Server. ~D. V. "I've narrowed out a bunch already..." Devnull

Hello, Tip.It Staff... It looks like another odd problem has knocked on the door of this forum. :( While browsing the Tip.It Forums today, I've been constantly noticing that the button background(s) for "Watch Topic", "Start New Topic", "Add Reply", and "Manage Topic Poll" have all been missing. Further, I've been receiving the following error back from FireFox any time I attempt to directly access the image... File not found Firefox can't find the file at http://forum.tip.it/public/style_images/runetips3/topic_button.png. * Check the file name for capitalization or other typing errors. * Check to see if the file was moved, renamed or deleted. ...which, given the that I think all of these requests are supposed to be getting redirected to forum.public.cdn.tip.it, would mean that a redirect at the Tip.It Forums Server is currently failing. As I mentioned in the title description, I'm currently using the "Tip.It Theme", and have been since the switchover from PhpBB3 to IPB. Not having those four button backgrounds right now is making the forums much harder to use than usual, so could an admin please get this fixed reasonably fast if/when they are able to? :huh: ~D. V. "Such hard to see text! HELP!!!" Devnull

Hmph... as far as I'm concerned, the "HYT!" ain't dead until the last Tip.It'er who knows about it is. So, who's with me for reviving the "HYT!" as a living and growing trend? Who here wants our community's ever-famous greeting to live on? Well, COME ON ALREADY! I'll see you on Worlds 7, 73, 113, 152-155, and a few random others! :thumbsup: ~D. V. "The 'HYT!' ain't dying while this wandering Tip.It'er is around!" Devnull (p.s.: I think I'm haunting World 154 currently... LOL)

Hi, all... I went digging, and found out something rather nasty. Look at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc770416.aspx and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc732503%28WS.10%29.aspx, and you'll notice in the 1st page's info and the 2nd page's comments at the bottom that Microsoft limited the "/t" switch to 600 seconds. That's a short 10 freaking minutes, way too little! Also, as Stragomagus said, you'll need double-quotes around the text comment that you wish to have displayed back at yourself. :geek: So, the best you can do is... shutdown /s /f /t 600 /c "Windows will shutdown in 10 minutes!" ...or... shutdown /s /force /t 600 /c "Windows will shutdown in 10 minutes!" ...which sucks, in my opinion, a lot. Have fun, if you don't find yourself ripping your hair out first. :( ~D. V. "Bloody command-line switches and syntax..." Devnull

*facewall* :wall: ... Not cool to troll, dude. :shame: Are you calling me a troll? Only about acting like you needed directions to Edgeville when you already knew. :P ... I know the rest of this thread is not a troll, so no need to get worked up over that. You might say I was having a little fun trying to joke back, although I'll admit my jokes sometimes need work. ;) ~D. V. "Yes, I got your joke... LOL" Devnull (p.s.: You might want to start a new RuneScape account unless you have one-too-many already, so you can check out a lot of the low-level changes that have happened to the game. Heck, you might find it has a refreshing feel to it.)

(Sorry, needed to reformat to save space...) I always thought that thing maxed out around Wilderness Level 255! Holy [bleep], that takes the possible limits to a whole new maximum! Can anyone else here say "Wilderness Level 2.1 Billion"??? Now I know it's no wonder we had the Falador Massacre, and other various Wilderness-related bugs! :blink: ~D. V. "Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkk!!!" Devnull (p.s.: No trolling was involved in the typing of this post, and it still isn't even as you're reading it. I'm very honestly in shock from seeing the quoted person's post.)

Sir, if I came back from a leave of three years... I wouldn't have members or a glory, I remember where Edgeville is, but I realised for effect it would seem cooler. Don't be the person I once was. Trust me! *facewall* :wall: ... Not cool to troll, dude. :shame: ~D. V. "Ugh..." Devnull

Oh, that's simple! If you're using Ancient Magics, just press your Home Teleport. If you're using Modern Magics, Teleport to Varrock, then head West until you reach Barbarian Village (a.k.a. Gunnarsgrunn) and head North from there until you see those familiar Edgeville buildings. If you're a Lunar Mage with FTP2-CaQ done, you can use the Fairy Ring Network rather easily and put yourself just East of Edgeville, right across the river with the bridge just North of you. |^_^| If you're not a mage, or just don't use it, I don't know what to tell you. :mellow: ~D. V. "Just ask someone for directions!" Devnull
