That's indeed true, because according to our laws, campaign contributions count as political free speech :v.
And are apparently A Good Thingtm
Also as an addendum: our parties' relationships can best be described as a series of temper tantrums where none of the people involved know what they're actually supposed to be working on. The important thing to remember is that none of it is your party's fault.

The gameplay could use a bit of a spitshine too, it was a bit iffy even then.All of them except Heist :'(
FoG with actual RS3 rewards would be nice. Bit dated now albeit some are still useful.

@ Alg: a lot of it is posturing. I tend to notice these things more because, English not being my 1st language, I think I naturally pay more attention to how things are said. The link of British-isms is a mixture of the accurate and nonsense cliché.
The American one is much the same, a lot of it is because the site's focus is fiction and the clichés themselves are... well, cliché. Writers who should know better still use them even if nobody talks like that anymore, and native speakers tend to take their complete lack of meaning for granted.
I really should look for a better source. Have been thinking about those sorts of cultural differences far too often lately.
not at all out of awareness of my own changing speech patterns -
also pls r8 my c8pe on a scale of puke to vomit
I tried to get every necessary food color in there.
8/10 would paint with those colors. From a colorist perspective the red-violet/yellow-green complementary harmony is rare but rewarding, and although the yellow is a tad loud it pairs nicely with both, with the blue providing the perfect amount of value contrast to oh who am I kidding it blinded me and I can't actually see what I'm supposed to be rating
Still better than a lot of other compers' choices.

MINOR VICTORY ;-;At least there's a loyalty point option, minor as that is
gg it came out right as I went "hm you know what I don't want to buy any other auras, let's buy a few hundred k points worth of emotes. it's not like there's anything else worth buying!"

It would be interesting to see what counts as proper English in America versus Britain. E.g. in America it's common to say "write me" but in the UK (and Australia and other Anglophone countries, I think) that's a grammatical nonsense - you have to put "to" in the middle of the phrase. Although it could be that "write me" doesn't pass for proper English in America and is merely used a lot.

A highly casual overview of some differences. The American half is pretty okay, can't vouch for the rest of the world's (obviously). It's mostly focused on colloquialisms and casual speech, if that's what you're looking for.
Cultural differences are pretty interesting, though the posturing that tends to come with them annoys the hell out of me.

Yeah that makes sense. That's why I don't really think he was interested in being "the best"; he just wanted to make as much money as he could. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
There isn't, but it's not exactly fun to watch. It's a bit understandable to be disappointed if you pay a not-entirely-insignificant sum of money to see a sporting event and it ends up being a farce.

It's very possible to be in favor of free speech while strongly disagreeing with what certain groups actually say, and not wanting to endorse or support them for it. To suggest that using their right to free speech to nonviolently disagree means they "advocate not having freedom of speech" is downright deplorable.
But by all means, keep trying to discredit people that disagree with you as enemies of free speech.

I wonder how many people would do/complete things like chompies and champions if the XP waste mentality wasn't a thing.
They did in the past, probably about as often as they do today. Which is to say, very rarely. I'd almost suggest that the completionist mentality has been a stronger driving force for players throughout the game's life

The sad thing is with Champs Challenege it doesn't sound as if they are making the one change really necessary for it to become actively used - the rarity of scrolls.
They said they wouldn't improve the drop rate cause they're scared trimmed Compers will have a [bleep]fit if they do.
There's a part of me that hopes that trim compers would be completely okay with champion scrolls being less stupid if it means they can actually get rewards out of them.
I mean, yeah 60k/week! That would be awesome if you could realistically get more than one champ scroll per week!

Dungeoneering! It's a minigame right? :P
Can we get it featured anyway if it isn't?

Wait, there's now a request for a museum?
In a house?
Have these kids writing up these ideas ever actually been to a museum or aquarium? Do they not get the size of them is generally as large as one average residential home all on its own?
This is getting ridiculous.
Hey, remember when the quest hall served that purpose? No? Okay then, back to crying about the old stuff being obsolete

I went from 350k->770k livid in like... half a week. at like 18k points an hour.
Now i have to race and finish livid before the bxp weekend so that my comp cape isn't invalidated
Oooooor you could wait until the event and cut the amount of time you have to spend there in half! I won't tell anyone you didn't waste your life there if you won't :-D

Probably more of us left than you'd think. Never mind that games without microtransactions basically aren't a thing anymore.I haven't purchased spins or keys either...but I feel an endangered species in that regard.

I thought divination was actually less tedious than fishing, personally.

So I'm playing Demon's Souls. Probably gonna be Dark Souls sometime in the near future.

Tried that, got early EoC and years worth of patches out of it.Next time Jagex asks for feedback, just give them the opposite of the truth and things will probably work out better

In case that means me, I'm at nottryingatall. Sure some people enjoy the stats, but come on, who are we trying to fool here? The cape, especially trimmed, is a show piece, as are all of the Capes of Distinction. This one requires a lot more work
It's probably the best show piece ever, then, because it does everything that every other cape does. There's such a huge gap between it and the max cape that it's not even funny.
