A Shadow begins to cast from the North...
Pretty sure the Dark Update will have nothing to do with summoning. Well...at least not player summoning. A certain 5-letter deity we have all been freaking out over might just be summoned back into our dimension.

A Shadow begins to cast from the North...
I can see the picture, but I admittedly hotlinked it. That might be causing the trouble. And the quote was written by me, of course! I can almost guarantee that the Dark Update will be the Second God War judging by dialogs in certain quests and minigames.

A Shadow begins to cast from the North...
Come my friends, come and hear the words of woe. A shadow is falling over Gielenor. A dark shadow. Deep in your inner self, you can feel them. The souls of the lost... Some say you even possess a magical artifact that allows you to see them. You see them walk, to the North. An old adversary enlists the aide of the souls. They say that you have found a way to walk and talk with the Lost. It will be of use in these dark times. As you go about your business, you never know what the magic will show you. You have seen the Enemy's General, you have seen his followers. You have witnessed his birthing grounds, you have awakened his Children. You have taken Their Blade. In the Darkness of Woe, you have met Them. The Children fear you not, that is your advantage. But They are powerful. You have seen Them flee from one another. Fleeing...to the North. My brave adventurer, the Planets are soon to align. The Armies are gathering in the North. The land of half light and ice. The last time the Dark Ritual was performed, Elves ruled all of the land. Now see what remains of that great civilization! But this time, a new group will be attending the Ritual. Will they assist, or will they further inflame the wrath of the Dark Lord? My friend, we are coming upon a dark time in the history of Geilenor. With the armies of Order and the undead army of Chaos vying over the Lum, and the followers of Darkness and Chaos gathering in the North, are we heading to a new Age? A Second God War? From Barihawk: This is discussion on the dark update discussed briefly in the Behind the Scenes. Some may find that phase one of this very frightening update has occurred this week.

10 Products you didn't know were made by Coke or Pepsi
You forgot that PepsiCo makes Dr. Pepper in every state except for Texas, in which Dr. Pepper Corp and PepsiCo are partners.

Married couples must have kids within 3 years
Heck, when I get married, I don't want kids until a few years after so I can get a nice financial foundation down. I've said it a million times, I would be happy to let homosexuals get married in trade for further bans on abortion. :P

Giuliani: Don't Be Conned
Then he took off the Superman cape and handed it to the firefighters, right? All Giuliani did was stare out the window and go on Saturday Night Live.

Global Warming
The 'mr stuck in iraq just wants to feel special' is a flame made just for the sake of flaming (only mild appropriate intelligent flaming is allowed). He's made the same name-calling on two topics now.

Cut the personal attacks or you will have a nice chat with site administration. Please keep personal matters in PM, don't bring them out into the public eye.

Giuliani: Don't Be Conned
If that's the case, this country is going to Hell in a handbasket. If people misunderstand the Party system so much... ...ugh. Sadly, if you are right, we are up for four years of awfulness. Geez, if we get Hillary maybe even a nifty war (with two nuclear parties! Israel and Pakistan!).
-
Giuliani: Don't Be Conned
That statement would make sense if it were something like 72-1-27 in the Senate. But it's 50-1-49. (the independant votes liberal) Hardly a major upset. Let us not forget that congress will change again in two years. If people vote purely on partisan reasons, we will have a bad 4 years. It doesn't matter who gets elected (except for Hillary), whoever sits in the chair is going to continue that war until Iraq stabilizes. Anyone who says otherwise is lying. If the Democrats pull the US out of Iraq right now, we'd be looking at the entire region erupting into a big war.

Giuliani: Don't Be Conned
You realize that none of the prospective Republican candidates are anything like Bush? Also, Hillary is practically pre-nominating herself. If she loses the Caucus and decides to run independant, the Republicans have a huge chance of winning. Let's see...strong GOP with fresh blood Candidates...or fragmented split ole' Democrats. If the Democrats want to win, they are going to need some serious restructuring. And Guiliani doesn't stand a snowball's chance in Hell of getting elected to the GOP. My money's on Powell or this new guy from Colorado (name eludes me, but my parents told me to keep an eye on him). John McCain also has a good chance, but ya'll probably hate him because he hates videogames.

Favorite Superbowl Comercial?
Nor the number 2: Magic Fridge! Terry Tate still holds the title, though. They weren't as good as a whole this year. My top 3: 1. GM - Obsessed with Quality 2. Doritos - the one about real life "Bold, Spicy, Crunchy!, etc" 3. Paper Rock Scissors - That one actually made me laugh out loud.

is switching options in dueling considered scamming? well..
If there is armour not allowed, it will only say "Some worn items will be taken off", it doesn't specify what will be removed. Still the first duel screen. If they change something, you have to re-accept it. Don't hit accept until everything is satisfactory.
-
is switching options in dueling considered scamming? well..
Dueling has a confirmation screen just like trading does, that recaps all dueling options. Just like if you get the bait and switch scam, you are at fault here. ALWAYS READ THE SECOND TRADE/DUEL SCREEN! He can't be reported, because you were so blinded about winning 5 million that you were careless! Don't be caught! Be Cautious!

Banned for playing Runescape on Linux?
I have a question for the OT: Without posting the actual message, what exactly does it say you were banned for? Autoing or perhaps... ...Advertising? They don't allow for advertising of any kind, even if the product is free. All they had to go on was the snapshot provided by your reporters. Your reporters were either idiots, or people thinking you were some kind of spam bot. Heck, many of the new autoers even randomly spurt out an ad from time to time via autotyper. Just learn this lesson. When you are among friends, you may speak about windows, linux, etc. Don't say something like that around the random rabble, just stay quiet or talk about celebrities or news or something. For the record: "I am playing Runescape on Linux" could easily be misinterpreted as an ad for Linux.

Iran: Answering the Charges
... I was referring to the President of Iran. But you are right.
-
Iran: Answering the Charges
The thing is, Pault. You are right to say that the President has no power. Pretty much all power over the people is held by the Ayatollah, and he is not too friendly.

5th february - 49 years and a nuclear weapon still lost
Guys, if there was anything the Soviets did right, it was Nuclear control. All missiles stolen were recovered with extreme predujice. The Russians took control seriously. I had to read a book from a Princeton professor about the Collapse of the Soviet Union. There's an entire chapter devoted to the nuclear threat of the collapse (ie it's nonexistance). The book is Armageddon Averted, by Stephen Kotkin. It's used by just about every University level class on the Soviet Union. EDIT: Further proof: If terrorists got their hands on stolen Russian nukes, they would have used them by now. If not detonating them, they would have at least used them for extortion. That has never happened anywhere worldwide.
