  1. Only because of VG&C and the private boards I'm allowed into. That's literally the only reason I even use this site. And there is a topic of the GJA and some player, it's on the first page here. In short, a forum mod posted a video showing a ton of bots spamming gold-selling sites. Jagex pulls the video and removes that guy's forum mod status. And they can protect their damn image if they want, but they're doing a really shoddy job of it.
  2. Okay how the [bleep] DO YOU BEAT MOROKAI? Stupid [bleep]ing imba lightning bolt.
  3. If one's brought to court, there's good chances they will see it. Not if they don't have the money period. 99% of civil lawsuits never sees all of the money from it. Case in point, there's the case of that woman who was sued for 2.4M or 2.4B for downloading a bunch of songs. There is no way that company will see that money from that individual in their lifetime, there is absolutely no way. This will be no different, and I would have no idea how they'd quantify "damage" done in any case. What, would each "tree" chopped be worth X cash? It's an arbitrary thing at best. Alternately, they could just settle the matter outside of court, but knowing how these companies have just so much money to throw at the courts, I'm not so sure. Also, I don't even play this game, as I stopped well over four years ago, so how would I know what the abuse report is? What about your TOS argument? Report Abuse has always been in the game. One of the first options to report is for macroing. It's hinted everywhere that bots aren't allowed. Of course they won't see 2.4M or 2.4B - they'll likely see a realistic amount. I wasn't talking about massive sums of money. In any case, I'm just saying that TOSes are in most cases not factored in during any proceedings. They're often so badly written in favor of the company and in most cases they do not extend any protections to the consumer. I'm also aware that Report Abuse is in game now that you've told me. Remember that I haven't played in four years meaning I frankly don't care for it? Literally the only reason I'm posting/bullshitting in this topic is for postcount+. Trying to boost your post count by making stupid arguments really isn't productive. They're "often" this, and "most cases" that. No. You're not talking about any company. Make an effort instead of forming your own conclusions from absolutely no work. I never said you cared for the "Report Abuse" button. But it was regarding your above comments that I brought it up. Do you read the cover of every book before you comment on it? Try harder. As I said, I frankly don't give a shit, and I'm not even trying. Postcount++. Also, using the trollface is stupid. In fact, I'll just humor the last part. Note, your frame of "recent" is different from mine. How they handled runevillage? Yeah, the idiot who spearheaded that should be fired. I wasn't defending what the owner of RV did, but this was so grossly mishandled that almost everything else would be better. The recent case of that one dude who lost fmod status and even quit because of how Jagex handled him posting ONE video? I won't even comment on this because the company as a whole has grossly mishandled a bit too much for me to take them seriously. I feel bad for the dude who lost that status, but frankly the company is a joke. Also how they handled the GJA? I don't even need to comment on how they handled it. Their policy on stuff is to blot it out if they're put in even remotely a negative light, and such it's a very draconian form of censorship. I even have examples of this in video form from 2006. End result? The company is garbage, which may or may not be relevant. And I love how you arbitrarily state that you're not going to be Mr. NiceGuy just because of a small statement in a post I might have made in passing. Yes they can protect their image, but that's besides the point.
  4. Can I break your hands for that? Cut it out, you're self-demonstrating the topic for us.
  5. [spoiler=don't read if you don't want to find out how to become a werewolf]Becoming a werewolf is part of the Companions quests. I also had a Dark Brotherhood assassin coming after me. No idea what I did to cause that. I had a band of thugs with an assassination order chase after me. I was farming a potato field, and accidentally "stole" a shovel. Like two days later it turns out that farmer put a hit on me if the note on their bodies is any indication. Cue me heading back and killing that [bleep] of a farmgirl.
  6. Me: Okay, there's a shortcut that takes me over an icy mountain >roars are heard Me: Eh, moving along Then right out of left field, ice dragon. What do? Why, go my flame atronach and toast him. Fire is 2x super effective against ice, see? I'm just working on the College storyline for now.
  7. Which race did you choose? If you chose High Elf that'd do it.

And on another note, I've read through a lot of recent shit the company is done. They're [bleep]ing garbage and they deserve every bit of bad karma and downfall coming their way.

  10. Indeed, but the point being that they've got almost nothing to gain from this except to stop botting. I'm just thinking of the monetary implications of this, because I'm not 100% sure how much money they'd have to throw at the courts to even "win" this kind of thing. Actually, technically, they could sue for swearing, but there would be exactly zero they could gain other than losing a ton of money and PR. I'd almost expect this case to be thrown out, but I'll just observe for now, because companies like this come across as annoying. Everyone, keep in mind that a Terms of Service is not entirely a legally binding contract. If the Iphone jailbreak case is any indication, the judge actually didn't even consider those terms and threw them out, simply because they're so badly slanted against the consumer and difficult to read and understand for the average person. In any case, if they're really suing, the only thing they could profitably sue for is to cease production of the botting programs. Any attempts to sue for money would be wasted as they'd never see those funds in their lifetime.

    The name implies they're disgusting. Oh, having an assortment of random candies. The really awesome part was that they were 50% off due to it being post-Halloween. Skittles and blow pops are awesome. :D Good Sloppy Joes is [bleep]ing delicious albeit a smidge messy. What are you going on about? Just made some [bleep]in' lasagna.

    Eh, if he was, who cares? I don't know of many things that would warrant a permanent ban from a forum for life. He's probably unbanned if he was banned due to the server reboot.
  13. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJurYPXA_uw&feature=related I'll just leave this here. And someone needs to develop a team scramble plugin asap. Losing a conquest match 290-0 on a 350 ticket match is garbage.

    ...[bleep] that shit. Wurmcoil's almost broken as all hell. "Oh, you killed it, let me make two more wurms at half power, and each one has a power from the original." >__> On this tangent, picked up a playset of Hinterland Harbors and two Drowned Catacombs for $20. Not bad considering each goes for like $6. Haha, I used to play them in Eldrazi Green because I didn't have Primeval Titans and they came out of the blue for most people and I won a lot off them. Now I'm only using one in my Pod deck which I still haven't updated since rotation. What're Wurmcoils used in these days? Some artifact decks and a general card to be annoying with/mana dump. Seriously, it's insane for what it is. 6 of any mana for a 6/6 with lifelink and deathtouch, and killing it just makes two 3/3 wurm tokens, each having one of it's abilities. Nothing else does that for it's cost easily.

  16. Heh, if I had some money I'd cook, but for now there's some pasta I can cook up and maybe throw some alfredo sauce on. Everyone needs to learn to cook for cheap though, it's really not that bad.
  17. I presume you tried grabbing some items next to a dead dragon? *snerk* Yeah, I got those items and got away without dying (wasn't really worth it, my shield is better than the one that was there, and my Drake Sword is MUCH better than the sword there), but I continued on down the path and ran into those damn blue drakes who ripped me apart. As for that "dead" dragon. What the hell? What creature in its right mind would sleep while dangling off the edge of a cliff? I've got to give credit to the creators though. They really did make that dragon look quite dead with it's grey, withered looking flesh. Actually, I do more with that sword than the Drake Sword, seeing how I've got a bunch of points in Faith, and the Drake Sword is just 200 power straight; it doesn't scale. My experience with the dead dragon? Me: Huh, a dead dragon and two items. *grabs first item* Ooh nice sword. *tries to grab second item, dragon wakes up and i'm stuck in the grab animation* Me: OH FU- *claw to the face* As for the drakes, they're weak to lightning damage, so either get some Resin to enchant a basic weapon, or you can go ring both bells (One in the Undead Parish, the other in Blighttown) and find an awesome lightning spear in Sen's Fortress.

    Well, shit, two days off. What do? Starcraft and Magic Children's Card Games?

    That's why other formats exist, like Modern. EDH is fun too. Rotations make sense, that's how you prevent stupid overpowered cards from ruling the game consistently, without resorting to banning things every 6 months. And then there are bannings that make sense. When the top 8 players in a pro-level tournament ALL RUN 4 COPIES OF JACE THE WALLET SCULPTOR... That card was stupidly broken, and not just the effect where it exiles your deck.

    Hah, Magic is where it's really at. True dat. I haven't gotten any of Innistrad yet, though. My standard deck is still Zen-Scars block and I need to make changes Innistrad's a fun block. Basically it's humans, werewolves, vampires, and a few other things thrown in, with a flavor of "coming back from the dead" as a general theme. In any case, I'm still working on a Green/Blue deck revolving around Spllinterfright. Basically a 3-cost creature whose power and toughness is equal to the number of monsters in your graveyard, AND trample? It's all kinds of fun.
