Stats Menu too small to create new skills?(Solution image!)
So we can have heat-seeking auto-cannons but we can't have a primitive 15th century arquebus? I am personally expecting firearms from the Eastern update. The Japanese were the first to perfect the matchlock as a weapon of honour, instead of the peasant's tool.

Locked posts to end of forum?
At the OoC boards, we always moved topics. That way, we could reference troublesome users in the future.

Chicken or Beef?
Both. I usually order combination fajitas.

New transmission price?
Transmissions are not cheap. It might total your vehicle. I had a 94 Saturn that I loved dearly, but it racked up over $6000 worth of repairs, and was only worth $3000. I had to sell it for less than $1000, but my dad bought a new car and gave me his old one.

Ideas/thoughts/opinions towards the next Temple Knight Quest
All Temple Knights have orders to kill Col. O'Niall on sight. It is unlikely he would be able to infiltrate them.

What's with construction bots?
Kinda makes me think why they have this rule in place then? If people want to waste there money on it then why not let em? Because Jagex does not have the stable economy other games enjoy. Games like Guild Wars, UO, Lineage and Everquest have economies highly regulated by measures put in place by thier creators. JaGex chose to let Runescape players develop the economy. What if they enacted real-world item trading? People would pay real life money for party hats, and the GP would stagnate! It's all up to the economy, but RS can't handle it. That is why they don't allow real-world item trading.

What's with construction bots?
Nope, it's a legal enterprise, since most of those games allow gold and item trading. JaGex can't sue them because it is impossible to track which company is farming gold from just an IP address. Runescape is one of the few MMO's out there with a no-real item trading policy.

What's with construction bots?
We aren't being racist. Most of the company bots are stationed in China or Taiwan. There are many people in those nations who farm gold in many MMORPGs and sell the money for real life money. They literally make millions of dollars. millions? I doubt millions..I'm sure they can make a decent amount if they spend the time though. http://www.nytimes.com/2005/12/09/techn ... 2e&ei=5090 On further review, that post seems kinda irrelevant, but google the subject. There are hundreds of sites, each with thousands of workers. They make a lot of money.

Opinions on Iran policy-wise
Now that was a well-thought out post. Yes, we can not invade N.Korea or Iran, because unlike Iraq they do not want US troops on thier soil. Saddam did not have the support of his people, but look at what that war has cost us! Imagine marching into a nation where the people are fanatical zealots of the government! N. Korea and Iran are wars that the US does not want to fight. It is all up to the perfew of the diplomats.

PK-er Vs. RC-er A Myth
Trouble is, RCers don't have prayer as the abyss sucks it away every time. And Freshwacka, let them complain. Even PKers hate Abyss PKers.

Prayer Drain has increased. ((Update)) Need Tester!!! @@
I haven't noticed any drain. The only prayer drain I know is in the barrows, otherwise it runs for a pretty long time.

stargate refrence
I still only count the one. However, the underlying reference in the quest is H.P. Lovecraft. From the official forums, can't find the quickcode: On top of that, the fishmonger's name is "Ezekial Lovecraft" The most striking parallel is Dagganoth and Daganoth, personally.

20 September 2006 - Slug Menace - Rough Quest Guide Now Up!!
I don't think it's an SG-1 reference. Col. O'Niall = Colonial Ezekial Lovecraft = writer Howard Lovecraft, who wrote a story about mind-controlling sea slugs in a New England fishing village. Paul has already confessed that Witchhaven is a giant tribute to him.

PK-er Vs. RC-er A Myth
It's fun picking on helpless people only 2 seconds from freedom? Fun is attacking other PKers, or the rune miners that actually have items of worth and are willing to fight back. The guy with the bronze pick is not ready to fight.
-
PK-er Vs. RC-er A Myth
I think what is considered "noobish" is the fact that they just stand there waiting for a 50k drop. And then flame you hardcore if you either survive thier assault or come back and destroy them a few moments later. Anti-abyss pking is fun. Because they can not defend themselves, and cry like children when you take thier precious items.

What Do You Do When Life Gets Tough..?
Be careful with that though. Taking out emotions on a game is still relying on emotions. The trick is forgetting about what causes you stress. Over the weekend, I was writing a 10 page paper and just couldnt work. I turned on the TV and Patton was on. After 5 hours of awesomeness, I was refreshed and able to finish the paper!

What Do You Do When Life Gets Tough..?
I hope on MS Flight Simulator and continue my travels around the world. Always on multiplayer so I can chat aviation with the guys online. Just pick a hobby! Something fun, and not repetitive! Something you truly enjoy doing. Most importantly: Get away from what is causing you the stress! I personally escape anywhere with a movie or even a day trip to Palo Duro Canyon.

How do YOU feel about the Death Penalty
If I became a lawyer, I'd do some charity and make it free for a bit :-w . Seriously, I think they should do something with them rather than letting them sit there rotting away while they stare at the TV. Maybe put them to work like someone suggested? Noble, but charity doesn't pay the bills.
-
How do YOU feel about the Death Penalty
Oh, the expense is easy to figure out. The actual execution is not that expensive, but it's the lawyer costs and such that the State incurs in the prosecution and appeals of those on Death Row. Lethal Injection is cheap, lawyers are what sucks up the money.

What are you talking about? Mind giving us figures?

how old was he?
I started playing soccer when I was 4, it's not that impressive. Unless of course, you meant that he started playing professionally at the age of 14. In which case, that would be impressive, and you really need to say that in your message.

How do YOU feel about the Death Penalty
Search around, there's a 14 page topic on this. I think it was locked, because of the enevitable flaming that it, and most likely this topic, will bring.

Few things about new armor [edit]
+3 more prayer bonus is going to make potions drop? Please. If anything, it will make them more viable and therefore more expensive (I hope).

What monster are you talking about? The quest monsters do not drop anything.
