I am loving it here in Texas, USA (American by birth, Texan by Grace of God :) ). Wonderful weather (well, except for the 45 mph winds we get occasionally), friendly people, great educational system. Government is fine (every administration does things people don't like Weez. I'm sure Conservatives were just as miffed at the government when Clinton was there). Economy is going well except for gas prices, and those are being worked on. I am a patriotic person, not a "weekend warrior" like seemingly millions of people who only get patriotic when it is "fashionable."

Samurai Warriors and the Extreme Legends for that. I believe the best part of that game is the Hideyoshi dance...ah yes... That, and the DW engine is twice as hard when you deal with muskets as opposed to arrows.

Spell name: Blink Mage lv to use: 92 Runes: 25 smoke, 25 dust, 25 laws What it does: Creates a double image of your character. Opponent now has a 50% chance of completely missing you. why you would want to have it added: Why not?! It would add some evilness.

didnt jagex say that when obsidian came out it was better then rune ? No, they compared it to the granite shield. Compare an obsidian shield to a rune kite. The only way in which obsidian is better is in ranged bonus and the strength bonus. Statwise, it is still inferior.

I don't think so. Players decide the intrinsic value of those items. Obsidian is weaker than rune, so rune protects over it. An argument could be made about how the scimitar protects over whip, but that is another topic. You have to strategize. Always be prepared to die.

There are maps to popular tradings spots like Varrock West Bank and Falador Park. Believe it or not, those are not disorganized ramblings. I can go to a certain point to sell or buy a certain item. Also, what's with the magic trees and fishermen? That would make those skills much too easy. The farther large concentrations are from banks, the better. The island should stick to the merchanting place.

Wrong, he is sitting on a stool.

Either: "Hey guys! Look what I can do!" or "Goodnight! See you in the morning!"

I like the idea. Anything that could boost the smithing industry is fine by me! It might even bring back market wars.

They now have barrows gloves, the Dark Gloves.

The story is actually about Richard Merriman (who if I am right goes on to be the captain of the Enterprise-B). I know the Kobayashi Maru is not exactly original, but this version of it is :). If you guys want to create the characters to use, I'll be happy to make them! The only character going on in the storyline is Rick, so go wild!

Sure, it's an easy quest, but with a good storyline for us Zaros nuts. Besides, I don't think they would release a master quest two weeks after the hardest quest in the game.

Because, you know, quests are soooooo hard when you use a guide that tells you what you need, how to use it, and just what is around the corner.

Just a note, if you guys want me to update this and make it a continuing story, I don't mind.

Post one above mine. Monks are underpowered, I know. THey aren't really a class of attack. Yes, the spear is used withing a melee range. As in getting up close and personal with your enemy. Thats what I call melee. And it its better against mage then range, it screws with the triangle, which is the basis of pvp combat. The amazing range protection is on the actual warrior armor. Not the Lancer. and not every game has a triangle. Look at guild wars, multiple classes. Its more like a 6-pointed shape.

I'll go whenever the Lord calls for me, so no.

I loved that show.

Gah, how can I forget Star Trek. Watched the first 4 series...Enterprise did not draw me in. The battles in the last two seasons of Deep Space Nine are listed as the most expensive episodes of TV history.

First off, this story is not about Runescape. It's based on Star Trek. _______________________________________________________________ "Stardate 89043.6. Captain Merriman, U.S.S. Exeter reporting." Rick paused. Captain Merriman, he thought. He liked the ring of it. "We are on standard patrol of the Neutral Zone between the Federation and the Klingon Empire. Aside from minor astronaumical dust storms and the odd comet, we have had a rather boring..." "Captain!," shouted Lieutenant Commander Parker, the communications officer. "Captain, I am recieving a signal on the emergency frequency!" "Where is it coming from?" Rick replied. This was surely it... "Localizing the signal, Captain. Its coming from sector G-7, heading 046 mark 210...from inside the Neutral Zone." The other officers looked startled at the reply. Commander Bates looked up from her position at the science console. Lieutenant Forester and Lieutenant T'pring managed a grimace before concentrating on the navigation and helm displays. "Confirm Commander, you say that it was coming from the Neutral Zone?" Rick was worried, his friends had told him he would not like this test. "Yes, sir. The vessel is a frigate called the Kobayashi Maru" was the reply. "On speakers. This is Captain Richard Merriman of the starship Exeter, we have intercepted your distress signal." The voice was barely audible over the static: "Starship Exeter, this is the Kobayashi Maru. We are an Alterian freighter destined to Vulcan but we were struck by a proximity mine...*crackle*...-ife support failing Exeter. Can you help us?!" The signal was overridden by static and the signal cut off abruptly. "Captain, I have lost the signal. It appears to be jammed at the source." Rick settled into his command chair and scratched his chin. "Computer, data on Kobayashi Maru." "Working: Kobayashi Maru is an Alterian freighter. Crew of 23 carrying 412 refugees out of the Neutral Zone." was the instant reply. A schematic was displayed on the screen. "400 people...Damn..." Rick muttered under his breath. "Helm, set course for the Kobayashi Maru, full impulse power." Helmsman T'pring turned from the console. Her typical Vulcan raised eyebrow glared at him. "Captain, may I remind you could happen if a starship enters the Zone." "No need, Lieutenant. I am fully aware of the treaty stipulations. You have your orders." "Aye, sir." She punched in the coordinates and the ship lurched forward. A few warnings were set off when the ship entered forbidded territory, but were shut off. ... Two hours later, the Kobayashi Maru was onscreen, plasma bursting from her innards. "Drop shields and prepare to beam aboard the survivors." "Captain!" Commander Bates had jumped from her station. "We have three Klingon Warbirds moving on an intercept course!" "Status of evacuation of the freighter?" Merriman asked. "We still have 281 passengers to go, sir." "Commander Parker, inform the Klingons that we are on a rescue mission!" Rick started to tremble. Three Warbirds against his Miranda Class Starship? The ship had been designed with scientific missions in mind... "They are jamming all transmissions, si..." A brilliant flash lit up the bridge. The Kobayashi Maru was no more. "First Klingon cruiser has fired sir! The other two are locking photon torpedos on us!" Rick was losing it. "Shields up! Divert power to the aft torpedo bays and phaser banks. T'Pring, get us the hell out of here!" The world seemed to rip apart. Half of the bridge crew were thrown from thier stations. He looked down to see T'Pring halfway across the bridge with blood pouring from her head. "Direct Hit on our engine section, sir!" "All weapons offline! We've lost the warp drive and photon control!" "Damage reports coming in, sir!" "Casualty reports from all over the ship!" Rick looked over to Parker, who was nursing a wound. The ship rocked again, the damage lessened due to the shields having managed to be raised. "Lieutenant Commander, send a message bouis to Starfleet informing them of the situation." The ship rocked again, the starboard turbolift burst into flames. "The ship can't take much more of this sir!" cried the first officer as she stood to grab the plasma fire extinguisher off of the wall. Bates grunted in pain as the console exploded from behind her, killing her instantly. Captain Richard Merriman looked around him at the corpses of his bridge staff. The room was starting to go ablaze. He was about to cry. He depressed the ship's communciation button. A boatswain's whistle was heard throughout the whip. "All hands, this is the Captain. All hands abandon ship, repeat, all hands abandon ship." The ship's evacuation klaxon went off. The fires extinguished themself. The dark red lights of the bridge went off and white floodlights brilliantly lit up the room. At the front of the bridge, the room cracked in two, and began to open. "All right, thats it. Shut off that damned noise!" shouted the figure who stepped through the smoke. Bates picked herself up and moved across the bridge to help Parker from under the false beam that had fallen on him. Across the room, T'Pring got up and wiped the blood off of her face. All the officers and crew left the room through the opening except for two. "Hello, Admiral." stated Ensign Richard Merriman, Starfleet Cadet. "Not so much, Ensign. The Klingons do not take prisoners." replied Admiral James Tiberius Kirk. "I'm afraid you may have to retake the test, Ensign. I must admit that the simulation computer was cruel today and did not even give you a chance." Cleaning crews moved in to repaint the room and mop up the ash and fake blood. "I am sorry, sir. I seem to have failed." was Rick's curt repsonse. "Not true, Ensign. The Kobayashi Maru test is impossible to win. It is not to judge how you handle your ship or crew, but to see how you respond to a no-win scenario. You didn't even stand a chance this time around. I'm willing to lay my career on the fact that any real Captain in your position would be a dead man by now..." replied the veteran. "But sir, surely it will reflect poorly on my service record for taking the test more than once?" queried a worried Ensign. "Not so, Richard." Kirk said, "I myself took the test three times. Now, report to the debriefing room. Good luck with your next run." "Yes sir, Admiral." Rick smiled. He stepped over the threshhold of the simulation room and began his walk down the hall. Kirk smiled. He had watched hundreds of Cadets who had either died as a hero or cried like a child at the conclusion of the test. Captain Spock stepped through the door. "Admiral, the next test will be commanded by Lieutenant Saavik, who I have sponsored through the Academy." Jim almost laughed. "A Vulcan Captain, you say? Well, let us not dissapoint her. We shall test her on the Enterprise model. The two walked out of the chamber to the control room, ready to wreck another simulation room...and the nerves of a new cadet. ____________________________________________________________ So tell me what you think?

So anyone who disagrees with you is homosexual? It's called tastes, bud. Also, some of us base attractiveness on personalities and intelligence in additition to sexual appeal. And to be perfectly honest, she is so skinny she has the sex appeal of a medical skeleton.

No matter what you mean by it, you have to think of what other people think about it before you say it.

Some of us would say that it is great, because it would raise prices on the barrows armor and keep them hard to get. I don't want to see uber-inflation like runite. Two years ago runite armor was a big deal...now its barely anything.

What? Lancer armor is weak to ranged. And monks will only have limited offensive prayers. And the spear's attack range is one square, sans the special attack. And it would not be hard to get 3 bars in there.

Good question. Manascape for the win!

M*A*S*H, Walker, Father Dowling Mysteries, Remington Steele, and a new favorite: The Office. Although The Office should not count since it is basically M*A*S*H set in the modern workplace.
