That's the way to do it, nice one Jagex! =D>

Too fat to adopt-A new species of faceplants
The authorities made a good call on this one. You can't have a parent who is so obese he can't look after his children properly, let alone himself.

When will you end it all?
Either: 1. If I get tired of Runescape. 2. If something more important is taking up my time. But I'll probably never say 'I'll never go back' because there will always be something interesting to do later and more important things come and go.

Stealing Creation Rant
The most frustrating problem is the overpowered daggers, and the equivalent armour which doesn't protect against them at all. It would be so much better if the melee weapons were actually balanced. I've never had a problem with the familiars at the kiln, though. Sure, I get the 'too big' message, but the window doesn't close for me.

Weak Passwords Must Be Changed - 09-January-2009
It's a good idea, and it's a bit weird that they haven't done this earlier. Ah well, better late than never. Only thing is that nowadays, hackers don't guess or bruteforce passwords, they use keyloggers. Then again, there's no harm in doing this. And don't even think of trying to guess my password.

An epiphany that needs disproving
Well, you'd be getting closer and closer to energy, which is again infinitely dividable. Unless you have an infinitely powerful creator which can produce something which is infinitely dividable. Ok, but what about the creator itself? Is that not infinitely dividable? Surely that had to be created? By whom? Another creator? You can go on (pun intended) infinitely. You have to conclude that there has to be a method of something creating itself. So, why can't the universe create itself and cut out a creator entirely?

Oscar Grant (police brutality)
That would have turned out so much better if the police officer had a taser instead of a gun. Even if it was too brutal, the guy would have probably survived.

Do you sit strangely?
No, unless I'm sitting at my computer, when I have legs crossed on the desk to the left of the computer, leaning on the right arm rest. Bonus points if my cat is asleep on my legs.

Fix Edgeville furnace
I think the energy barrier idea is best. :)

Clan Chatting with J-Mods
The only way it would work would be an invitation only system, and then again, you'd get the immature ones spamming J-mods to give them one. It's good in theory but I just don't think it can work in reality, uh, which ever one that is.

Lifetime Subscriptions?
Of the account? That's not too much of a commitment, the average player who would buy it would last for about 4 years, I'd say. Runescape will last a lot longer than 4 years into the future. I think it's a good idea, but it will be very difficult to balance the price. One wrong move and suddenly everybody's got discount lifetime membership and Jagex's potential profits go down the drain. It's probably too dangerous for them to try.

Jan. 7 Poll Clues! Sailing Skill [NEW] Exploration Skill
Sarcasm on the Internet is like winking on the phone. That's what's happened.

Minigames Revisited: Part I: CastleWars
How about this, to fix the ranger/mage problem: You cannot see the arrows other rangers have fired on the ground, but you can see and pick up your own. Whenever you respawn, you get all of your unbroken arrows back. The same is for runes, but some are lost along the way, in an identical system to arrows breaking. The rate of breaking depends on the level spell you use, higher spells break runes more.

Catch-22,Deffered Appeals.
A.)My parents are Jewish,for one.I certainly did not mean that. :wall: B.)Jew(s) is not censored. Yeah, that's what I was think dark, I find it strange that Jagex wants our offenses to pile up before we have to appeal them, it could give us an unneeded sence of security that we could appeal these offenses,when they could be denied. A) I don't think Jagex cares about your ancestry or your true intentions. Rule 1 is about typing something that can be interpreted as offensive, not actually meaning it. B) If you're right, it's just because Jew is not offensive in itself, it's the sentence put together which is offensive. You kinda should have been more careful. It's a bit of a weird system, and it would be much better if you could put them on some kind of low-priority appeal.

Jan. 7 Poll Clues! Sailing Skill [NEW] Exploration Skill
:? I probably would, it's just a commonly used expression. OP, you're going to have to better than that if you're going to convince many people that Jagex are thinking of a Sailing Skill. :|

The White Crayon
It's for non-white paper or blending with other Crayons, I suppose. It's also for the shiny factor. :D

Bullying and Your Views
Bullying sucks, fact. But there is no justification in physically retaliating, and it's preferable if you don't verbally retaliate either. In all schools, popularity is the currency, and bullying is a way to obtain it from others.
-
The End?
The '5 years' statement was a minimum, worst case scenario. Since the game is experiencing far from a worst case scenario, Jagex won't abandon the game any time soon. They can't right now, it's such a uniquely formatted game that there's probably nobody else who could run it properly.

Who is your favorite Tipiter?
Ahh, nobody likes me. :cry: Ah well, screw it. My top 5 is (in no particular order): Lenin Trapical Reb Ginger Goddess But everybody else is awesome anyway, it's everyone which makes a community. Hippy BS, I know. :)

Tip.It Times: Jan 4, 2009 (New Style!)
I loved the articles, especially 'The Joy of a Quest', but I'd like to make a point about the 'Backseat History' article. Jagex is not being unintentionally sloppy with their history, they often provide alternate viewpoints on the same historical event with contradicting pieces of information. This is exactly how many real-life events are recorded too. Jagex certainly doesn't intend to tell the whole truth (or sometimes any of it) in every single bit of dialogue; that just wouldn't be proper history. For example, it's intentional that the priest at Lumbridge claims that Saradomin created the world and all that is in it, followed by claims elsewhere that Guthix created and filled the world. Finally, in Meeting History, it's told that some Elder Gods created the world and Guthix filled it. This is not sloppy, it's just History.

demanding change to the rs death system!!!!!!
Three most valuable, not three most expensive. Value and price are two different things, especially in Runescape. Yep, that's why I say it's misleading, but even then, every tradable item has quite a few prices, so 'most expensive' is a bit misleading too.

New Dr. Who announced
I wonder what this new guy is going to be like. He's not exactly the most handsome incarnation, but if Moffat say's he's the perfect person for the job, I'll take his word until the start of next season. I wonder who his companion will be?

Global warming - Do you mind it?
Global Warming isn't all that it's cracked up to be. It will not destroy the world, and it will not destroy humanity. But, we are going to run out of fossil fuels, and I believe this to be much more important crisis to deal with, so we're going to have to 'go green' anyway.

The best science?
My order: Chemistry Mathematics Physics Biology Although I'm studying the top three for A level, because they're so important to each other. I think Chemistry is the most fascinating because it's both a fun challenge (like Mathematics) and you're messing around with the stuff of the universe (like Physics). Explosions, too. Physics is third because it's so hard, and I think Biology is tedious compared to the others.
