It's a good idea, especially for people who want to see the item in-world before they take the time and money to make it.

The new Vyrewatch Clothes and the New Mines - Truths
I had one dude saying. "Selling new mage clothes! 120k!" Could I have reported him for item scamming? i've reported piles of people doing just that in w2 recently, it's sad to see how people try and make gold from things they know are blatently rubbish You DO realise that players CAN sell and buy items for prices they chooses? That is NOT a scam. Meh, ran out of memb few days before update..-.- Looks like nice update. They were advertising them as mage clothes, which is lying between the teeth. They don't give any bonuses worth paying for. If they said "selling new Vyrewatch clothes 150k!" than that is fine. But calling them mage robes is a downright lie.

Castle Drakan
Draynor was not a Mahjarrat like Drakan was. And Dessous was a lesser Vampyre. The greater Vampyres seem to be invincible. not noyl that, but draynor was traped in the west. the lands of Saradomin drained his power. he was probally a mahjarrat, but being so close to Saradomin drained him Oh right! Like Lucien was reduced to a level 13. Geez! If such a powerful figure like Lucien was reduced by that much, but Draynor was only reduced to level 60-something, just think how powerful his brother is going to be.

Every time someone says ingame that the reward was crap, I just tell them that all the reward of the quest was in doing it.

instrument skill?
To be honest, one does not get by on charisma, creativity and talent alone when entering the musical world. It actually does take years of "rote practice".

In remembrance of Steve Irwin
Is it even possible to be any more disrespectful of the dead than this? The guy was not stupid, he was quite smart. He didn't have it coming. Few people actually deserve to die. you think he didn't know his job was deadly? Of course he did and he accepted it as a hazzard of doing what he loved. There aren't many people who can say they have a job doing what they'd most rather do than anything in the world. He also showed millions of people pieces of the world they never would have seen if not for him. For that, at least, he deserves a little more respect than this, especially in a RIP topic. I was sad, and I said it was a tradegy. The thing is, many people I have discussed this with and I agree that it was amazing that he made it this far. He has been stung by the world's deadliest snakes, bitten by crocodiles, and done things that would make lesser men cringe. And he has done his share of irresponsible things...like danging his child over a crocodile. Yes, it is sad that one of Earth's greatest adventurers and such a lover of nature has died. However, he made the mistake of agitating another lethal creature and it got the worst of him.

easy way to avoid abyss pkers
It's a nice idea. In the long run, it takes just as long considering that you do not have to recharge your glories. This is very useful for those who are concerned more about convenience rather than runes per hour.

Castle Drakan
But why would they force humans to mine ores that could harm them?

Castle Drakan
Remember that Draken did not build his castle. He came from the depths and stole it from the Icyene Queen. The queen might be related to Dragonkin, but Draken most likely would not. This personally is my favorite story arc.

Castle Drakan
Perhaps Count Draken was the shadowy figure described in the Crumbling Tome who gradually killed the Six Brothers, then corrupted thier souls in death.

Obisdian item scamming
It's pretty simple. WATCH THE FIRST TRADE SCREEN LIKE A HAWK! Preferably like a Barihawk, but that is besides the point. Never believe a trade is as good as it seems, ALWAYS assume that it will end in a scam. They can't switch the items without you noticing because any changes made to the deal have to be approved by you! NEVER hit the first accept button unless you know what you are dealing with. Your accept will turn off if any changes have been made to the deal! You would have to accept again, which means you were in such a rush to make the trade, that you were being stupid to even allow it to proceed to the second screen! It really should not be an issue, and the second screen is only really useful for numbers of items (the number switch). The first screen is the first line of defense.

Void Knights Are Guthix Followers... Or Are They?
According to the various tomes around Runescape, in addition to quests and KB information, Guthix tends to lean towards Zamorak in the first place do to the huge numbers of Saradomin followers and few amount of Zamoraks. After all, he is the god of Balance.

Guilty without charges...
That violates the Constitution in so many ways. This falls heavily under the Miranda decision, since a person is recieving punishment without ever being formally charged for a crime. This has got to be overturned by the Supreme Court. It's bads FAR outweigh it's goods.

Opinions on Iran policy-wise
Not irrational. Trying to be funny. Just pointing out that none of this wouldve happened if we didnt make nukes in the first place. If we didn't have nukes, you think anyone else would think they should have them too? - NO! Thats not irrational is it? Actually, it's quite irrational. If Germany had come up with the first atomic weapons, the other remaining powers would scramble to come up with thier own. Same scenario, different players.

Opinions on Iran policy-wise
First, allow me to clarify that in my 9 million dollar per missile figure, the most costly part of dismantling weapons is disposing of the propellant fuel. You could stick your hand in that fuel and come out with a stub, it is so toxic and caustic. It takes a very long and expensive process to neutralize it. Second, to Slayermia. I am glad America is "judging" the world. Because the U.N. is not doing it's job out of fears that oil for it's member nations will rise, or some other bullcrap. Right now, the U.N. is publically making known troop movements in Israel WHILE they happen. They are fair though...they report exactly where Hezzbolah rockets hit AFTER they are already gone. The U.N. is as corrupt a governmental body as they come. They should not be looked up to as saints trying to save the world. They won't act on anything unless it affects them...primarily monetarially like Iraq. And so the U.S. invaded Iraq for oil now? I am pretty sure we would have heard from some source that U.S. Military tankers were flying oil out by the barrel-full. In fact, if we were, gas would not be so costly here. Unless of course the villain Bush is censoring every media organization on Earth :roll:. And I loved the statement about Bush being a puppet of a greater evil. I needed a good laugh today :P. And Kryptic: During World War 2, the U.S. was not the only power-that-be that was developing atomic weapons. Germany, Japan, the Soviets, and England were all conducting heavy-water or atomic research. In fact, Germany was only 2 years away from completion. Who would you rather have come out with it first? And we are working on ridding ourselves of the nukes. The problem as I stated before is cost. Not only are we talking all the missiles, there are fuel centers, atomic artillery shells (over 10,000 of the damned things were made! Then left to rot!), bombs, and other facets of the nuclear program. Even if we did have no national debt or commitments with an infinite budget, it would take decades to dismantle them all since very few people are capable of safely doing it. It is the same problem in other nations like Russia and England, who are also disarming. The problem lies with countries not willing to disarm, like India and Pakistan. It's not just America's problem anymore, it's everybody's problem. And I wish more people shared your opinion so we could be rid of the things forever.

Opinions on Iran policy-wise
By "we", I was referring to the WORLD. There are over a million warheads in the world between the many nuclear nations. Forgive me, that does indeed look a little unclear. And it does indeed cost 9 million US dollars to dismantle a Titan 2 missile. That includes safely disposing of the warhead, cleaning up fuels, etc. Add a few more million to seal up the launch tube or silo, and it is pretty costly. There is more to a nuclear weapon than it's warhead.

Opinions on Iran policy-wise
For the record, the Democrats invented nukes :P. But as I said before, we are not willing in this day and age to nuke our nukes unless the other countries are willing to disarm...which they arent. Not to mention, it costs 9 million dollars to dismantle one nuclear missile and dispose of the radioactive substance safely. Multiply that by the millions of warheads we have, and it is impossible to afford. That is why we can't just destroy our nuclear program, nor can we just throw them all in caves somewhere and forget about them.

So My Views Aren't Right?
Actually, I was referring to microevolution. The sun example was just one in many factors, including diet, climate, etc.
-
Opinions on Iran policy-wise
Because we are trying to disarm the world. It's a process that has been going on for decades. All the powers are gradually reducing and dismantling thier nuclear fleets (especially Russia and the US, who have millions of unnecessary warheads). We feel that allowing a nation to develop nuclear weapons of it's own is counteractive to the world disarmament. And ESPECIALLY if it's a country like Iran that might "lose" a nuclear weapon that might be found by a terrorist organization like Al Queda or Hezzbolah. My bets however is that Israel will be the first hammer to fire.

So My Views Aren't Right?
The Bible does not say it. However, microevolution does account for the different races. Note how a white person who lives in the Carribean for 30 or so years looks much darker than he did before he moved there. Imagine now an entire group of people living as nomads in a desert. They will no doubt become darker over time, correct? All differences in ethnicities result from geographic location. There are no different "races", we are all of the same race. We only spread out across the world with different tongues after the Babel incedent. Note: microevolution =/= Evolution in the sense of natural selection. In fact, it generally flies in the face of it.
