I don't make such irrational comments. I realise most (in fact all) mods get chosen for their strength of justice and character. However, the point I'm making is that while there are some players that don't know the report button exists, the majority of players are perfectly capable of reporting offences, and leaving confidence with Jagex to deal with the offence. What I'm basically trying to say is why does Jagex need to create (what is effectively) a special heirachy among players? Mods in-game, by their very nature, receive benefits such as priority in trades or more cooperation amongst most players. These are luxuries which most players on RS don't enjoy, and I think this is very wrong. Surely, Jagex should actually be turning to employing staff to deal with the game, instead of creating a special ̮̩̉̉lite of players that, frankly, don't need to be there. I look at a Player Mod and a normal, decent player, and I think what's the difference? Well, not a lot. One can mute, the other can't, that's it. Yet the mod receives far more benefits which, in my opinion are unfair and make the game easier for the mod, for doing a job which the majority of RS could do fine on their own anyway. As far as rule breaking goes, the book should lie with Jagex to deal with it, and not to resort to creating an unfair situation in favour of mods. Why should mods have these luxuries (albeit inadvertently and reluctantly), when they don't do much more to help the overall behaviour of players on the game than I do?

So, unlike past guides, it doesn't include a list of the levels at which they learn moves? Meh, I don't really care all that much anyway, there's plenty of sites (two I could name right now) that give these details anyway...

What makes me laugh is he's made that comment with that avatar going next to it. Do you not listen to Billie Joe Armstrong's lyrics in American Idiot or Wake Me Up When September Ends? Power does not equal victory. Anyone who thinks that is foolish quite frankly. We've heard this power message before with Kennedy, and although I have some respect for him for his involvement in Black Civil Rights, he was wrong and King was right. There is so much more to war than brute force, and I'm sorry to all American Nationalists, but you seem to have a history of making that mistake! As far as I see it, you have two choices - retreat, or die. The choice is yours, but I for one am in favour of bringing the UK troops home, as there's nothing they or the Americans can do there anymore! We made the situation in the first place, yes, but that doesn't give us any right to stay there and make things worse in the process of trying to make things OK. As far as Iraqis are concerned, they want us gone. We should respect their democratic right to request that, and leave.

I agree with the first replier. There's no answer to this question, it relies very much on the person. I personally don't need to be a moderator in order to help people. I help people out of the kindness of my own heart, and report people where I see fit. I don't see how a little silver crown makes me any more capable than a mod for helping on-line gameplay. Therefore, I come to the conclusion that mods aren't really all that needed, as opposed to a more, for lack of a better word, pleasent community. Mods receive recognition they arguably don't deserve, but also they don't really see many benefits in people constantly harrassing them. We've had cases of corruption and the abuse of powers added to this. So can someone please explain to me why we need mods in the first place, when there are plenty of non-mods that do their job just fine?

Actually, the Qu'ran clearly states that the law of the State comes before the law of Islam - something which the media don't like to mention in their biased Islamophobic reports on Sharia Law and Jihad. Also, I think you'll find many followers of supposed 'Jihad' are contradictory to their own cause. Nowhere in the laws of Jihad does it mention anything the occupation (or any international action for that matter) has done. The fact is, most Iraqis want to be exactly that - Iraqis. This has been shown in countless opinion polls and amazingly has never really fluctuated in terms of opinion. What opinion polls have been quite clear on is that they want the occupation to leave so they can solve their own problems out. Whether or that involves a democracy is their option, not the Americans'.

As mentioned in my other post, I think that part of the reason Liverpool lost was because of the timing of the season. Instead of playing UEFA when we're on top form, we play the most important fixtures at the end of the season when we're shattered. Also, Liverpool aren't the best team in England. Fact. So who's to say Chelsea or Man Utd wouldn't have done better if they'd not have had other priorities?

Well StrOwez, that sounds fair. I disagree on one thing though. There are plenty of people in the UK you can't afford clothes, yet the law forbades journalists to film them. However, when it's in a different coutry away from our own, it's seen as acceptable. I just find this attitude wrong... we're all humans quintessentially at the end of the day.

^ Well the obvious counter to that would be it's not about the individual players. Kaka is an example of sheer grace compared to Rooney or Gerrard, but is he a part of a better team?

All English league? yeah, sorry for saying that but i don't have enough knowledge to include all european teams Personally I'd say Chelsea and Man Utd are the best teams in Europe anyway. I think that our season is timed wrong, and we play the final stages of UEFA when we're at our most tired, and that showed with all three English teams in the last four. Also, given the state of Italian football, AC Milan aren't really looking all that stable, and at the end of the day, you have to stable to be good long-term.

It's not a coincidence, nor special power. You're just more aware of it. You may look at that clock more times than that but the pattern of numbers is insignificant so you don't notice. It's like when it's Friday 13th and something bad happens to you. Well, that bad thing could have happened any other day, and probably has - but you notice it more for the fact that it may have some deeper meaning. Also, look hard enough, you'll find something odd in any set in numbers. Hence that crazy Twin Towers chain email thing I got... most of the maths on it was wrong as well :lol:. Oh, and the one about Tupac coming back after 7 years... (still waiting) :-w

Aside from being quite sexist (the sentance implies you'd have a problem if it was a man), it's quite... pervy. You're saying you don't mind it because you find it attractive, yet anything pass that is a turn-off, and I think this needs a bit more maturity than it just being about people getting turned on by a young female (etc.). My personal view (although I confess I've not really worried about it in my life all too much) is that the question is self-fulfilling: Well, most places such as this are private anyway. I personally know of no public nude beach/camp, although I'm sure they exist somewhere. Therefore, I see this as a private place, and of course it's one's right to do whatever they want (within reason) in private. As for public places such as sports events? No. For the simple reason that some people find it offensive, for whatever reason, and that that event may be being broadcasted live. In fact, I recall an event during the Korean World Cup Qualifier (I think) with England and a streaker ran onto the pitch. The BBC being the stupid planks they are decided to show the streaker being carried off the pitch at 19:00 (before the watershed), and it received loads of complaints. That to me is evidence enough of public support against public nudity. I personally don't have all that much of a problem. Not because I enjoy it, but because I see it as something that everyone has, so how are they different? Just a thought though. Here we are, with some people saying very strongly against public nudity, yet we seem to have no problem seeing a naked poverty-stricken African boy in the news. In fact, it's actually against the law to show a young child in poverty in this country, and obviously illegal to see them naked in any form. A more relevant question to me is 'Why is it seen as unacceptable to see people naked in our own society, but it is acceptable for journalists to film poor naked people overseas?' But in direct answer to the original question, I think you'd have to change a lot of people's perceptions in order to allow public nudity, and I think that would be impossible considering groups such as the Muslim community believe that the body is a gift from Allah and you shouldn't show it to other people. Unless you change a lot of people's attitudes, I don't think the idea of a right to be naked in public is a very practicle idea.

Couldn't agree more. Arsenal v Man Utd will be a real close one to watch in the future, especially as the future looks kinda (excuse the terrible pun) blue for Chelsea with Putin falling out of favour with Mr. Big Bucks himself. The sad fact is Liverpool could be the best team in the future if they focused on their youth programs and went for the league instead of trying to win 18 matches a season in Europe. I'll happily admit as a United fan that Liverpool are the most successful team in English football History - but that's when they focused on building a team around their area. As for the comments about United fans thinking they're the best team in Europe, did you hear our fans walking out of the game at Milan? We admited we'd lost fair and square, as did Chelsea when they lost to Liverpool. We both had other things to worry about - the league and the cup. UEFA would have just been a sweet bonus, but not the aim of our season. And Phil, so so true. Liverpool and Arsenal are miles behind Chelsea and Man Utd as far as I'm concerned. The final table reflects that.

Oh please, both teams were even on the night. Just like two years ago when Liverpool 'beat' Milan. What comes around goes around. They were robbed two years ago in a mighty tight clash - this time it was you. But Liverpool certainly did not deserve to win, lucky goal or no lucky goal. I hope Rafa realises that going for the Champions League exclusively, neglecting the League runs the risk of not actually geting ANY trophies. I'm getting a bit annoyed with Liverpool fans start saying they're the best team in Europe when they can't even be 2nd in their own domestic league!

I don't hate him, but David Cameron

Liverpool... in fact it's actually a debate since I wasn't technically alive for the first 15 mins of my life, but was tranferred to Everton's Alder Hay Hospital where I eventually decided to start breathing. So take your pick - Everton or Liverpool. Having said that, I support United before anyone tries to rip me over what happened on Wednesday. In fact, I was laughing at the TV :lol:

The slots at the back of the two versions are different, as are the two stylus... As for strategy guides... I'd prefer one. I, like many others, play Pok̮̩̉̉mon to compete with other players on NWC. A strategy guide would help with team-building.

It's so mean... we can't watch it over here because Sky (who used to have the rights to Aussie games) lost the rights to Setenta, and we can't see Setanta. :cry:

Firstly, I don't know what a mathematic is. I can however help you with mathematics. My blast on American renaming of the English Dictionary over... I can't understand how Q2 is right, as you haven't taken into consideration the two hours she spent at her Mum's, as mentioned in the question. I'll show you with a simple check: MPH to Sue's = 15, therefore MPH to Mum's = 15-5 = 10 Hours = Miles/MPH Hours to Sue's = 15/15 = 1, Hours to Mum's = 20/10 = 2 Hours Total = 1 + 2 + 2 (the two she spent at her mother's) = 5 She was only supposed to be out for 3, so 5 is wrong Now, I've tried doing this for myself but I keep getting strange answers like 15+5(13)^1/2, which comes very close to three hours, but not quite. So I'm unsure. Either way, I strongly feel the answer 15 is wrong. If it helps, my answers are nearer 35mph than 15mph. Q3 is right, but you've made it much more complex than it needs to be lol: Area needed = 2(5x5) = 50 Side = 50^1/2 Difference between new side and old side = 50^1/2 - 5 = 2.07 feet Then again, if you get the right answer, does it really matter? As for Q1, looks too physics-y for my liking, so I won't even attempt that. But like I said (and if someone wants to show me how Q2 is right, please do PM me) I think the answer of 15mph is wrong. EDIT: Sorry, I didn't see that others had already seen this error. I apologise if it seemed like I ripped off your work.

Played all of them apart from Minish Cap, and the two Oracle games. Even have the limited GC Ocarina of Time Master Quest disk! :)

Not a very pertinant point, but will the stylus be for the normal DS or for Lite?

I hear that Crystal Chronicles was only a Final Fantasy game by its name anyway, and it wasn't near the others in quality (probably because Square Enix and Ninty fell out all those years back). I did watch the game play as well, although I didn't stick around at the time for the plot so I wouldn't really know how it goes. Call me a Nintendo fanboy... as my signature says that was the place that introduced me to the online community, so I guess it's only natural for me to like Nintendo games more than other games. It's what I've ultimately been brought up on. Therefore, I like Pok̮̩̉̉mon. Even at 17, I'm not ashamed to admit that - it's easily one of Nintendo's greatest franchises and I get the feeling sometimes people don't give it a chance for its 'kiddy' label. Having said that, FFVII was voted the best game ever by GameFaqs.com, so I'll shut up now... #-o

Without doubt - Pok̮̩̉̉mon. The new Wi-Fi capabilities make it truly global, and it's a beauty! After that, Tales of Symphonia on the GC. Many would say that's an adventure game... I think it's a slash between the two (there are different 'routes' to the game). I never really liked FF. I played Crystal Chronicles, and watched someone play FF7... I wasn't impressed one bit. It didn't look much better than Skies of Arcadia, and the graphics/gameplay on that were pretty naff. I note very few people have said RS... lol.

Check the main post, this has nothing to do with trading in-game items for real life items. This is about using real life methods of communication (such as a phone, texting or email) in order to negotiate a trade. To clear up your argument, Jagex has no problem with this example, so long as you don't acquire the email adress/phone number through the in-game chat system, or their forums, which is against Rule 13.

Just bouncing around some ideas here, but maybe we could have like monthly (by that I mean four weeks - not a strict month) topics. For example, one month we could dicuuss the economy, then rule breakers, than perhaps Jagex themselves etc. using the format that was suggested by Errdoth earlier on, kinda like this: 1st week) The Editor should write his/her own view in the first week 2nd week) A Guest article highlighting a counter-argument in the next week 3rd week) A debate session using the forums on the Friday evening after (with the best points being put onto the main site) 4th week) Perhaps a pole on the final week, and a few closing words by the Editor? I'm running pretty short on ideas, but maybe someone else could think up some features to fill in the month?

I see nothing wrong with that. In fact, Jagex should allow us to have some kind of contact outside the game. By this, I don't mean letting us give out email addresses or phone numbers (this is peadophiles would get in), but by providing us with an email/PM system on the main site, where we can trade in a less... hectic (for lack of a better word) environment.
