And you transed them yourself, too. <3: I'll get right on uploading the ones you transed youself, then start on the older ones. Can I make one suggestion? Turning Anti-Aliasing off helps a LOT with making pics transparent, and makes them look better when they're done. I know it sounds backwards - they look better in Runescape with AA on - but it's true. Still, thanks for your ridiculously awesome amounts of help.

Sorry it took so long to check this out; most of the crew had already done this quest. While this is on the surface a very good idea, I'm afraid it's not possible to pickpocket Sandy when you first meet him.

Sign me up for the staff drawing! Like I'm going to say no to a chance for free membership. And bytheby, you're the awesomest tiara-wearing master miner crewbie in the whole wide world. And you have delicious brains.

You are correct. The guide has been updated with the proper name and you have been credited. Thank you. :)

O hai der.

Thank you very much for the gorgeous pictures, mdeo! You're right when you say the ones we had were really outdated. We've added yours and they should be up on the site soon!

The only two points that anyone could object to at all are the ones mentioning 150+ quests and 24 skills, which do require membership that isn't mentioned in the ads. However, I don't think that's any worse than ads for other games, all of which tend to distort the facts a little, even if what they say is literally true. Jagex is only doing what every other advertisement for anything does: accentuate the positive, while downplaying or not mentioning the negative. I have tried membership, and I prefer f2p. Membership was awesome, and yes, I'll probably get it again next summer, but it was so FULL. There was so much to do, it was overwhelming. I imagine at higher and higher levels, it would settle down a bit once you started to plateau, but for someone like me who is perpetually distracted by the shiny, f2p is a lot more my style for large chunks of time.

Wow, way to go Lady!

Currently, mostly empty - and bank space is GLORIOUS. In about a week, I'm going to have to dump all the stuff that's f2p that I only have because they're needed for a bunch of quests and I cba to find a general store every time. WhenI'm f2p, I normally manage to keep ~5 spaces open all the time.

Congratulations! :D

Awesome. Finally a place for Edna Mode.

Thank you so much for thanking us! (Wow, that didn't sound nearly so weird in my head...)

By that I meant the bars and clubs that serve females alcohol free of charge. Ah, alright. I don't go out to bars that often. I had never heard about that. :P I agree on ending that too, then.

There are women who think that women are better than men. It's pointless to deny that, because it's true, and most people have met someone like that. However, not all feminists are like that. Some do believe in true equality, including in the things Zierro pointed out. @ myweaponsg00d, my problem with the way women dress to "attract a man" (and I agree, that isn't completely the fault of men, women have encouraged it too) is that it tends to lead to victim blaming. A woman dresses in attractive clothes and gets raped? Well, obviously she was trying to get a guy to notice her and she must have wanted it. Saying no was just her playing hard to get. Or maybe she was "being a tease" and "leading him on" and so she deserved it, which is complete [cabbage]. on the other hand, male rape also needs to be treated with more seriousness. While female on male rape is rarer than male on female, it does happen and is even more underreported than "normal" rape... because women are considered weaker and most men who are raped by a woman feel that their masculinity has been destroyed because as a man, they should be able to overpower a mere woman.

Same. Even just once a year would be awesome. Sure, you get some more low-level quests, but they're fun and they give f2p something new to do for a little while. (inb4 "F2p doesn't deserve anything new, even for just two weeks!")

I wouldn't call myself an extreme feminist, but I agree. Women should be required to enroll in the draft, and they should also be allowed to serve in infantry units. And as a side note to the military, there should be a much stronger stance against rapes, because currently... Yeah, reporting someone for rape goes very badly for the woman, even worse than in civilian life, and it's no picnic here.

I agree. However, I think that any attempts trying to change the name of the movement would result in a lot of eyerolling and comments to STFU, so... Yeah. Good idea in theory though, and I'm going to start using it. :) I'm sure that there are others who already are. Also, to the person who said that they've seen people trying to change the spelling of women to womyn... ROFL. That's just stupid.

Feminism is one of those things that mean different things to different people. Honestly, I think the type of "feminism" that myweaponsg00d sees on his campus is extremely annoying. The way I like to define my view of feminism is with a quote from Rebecca West that is getting pretty common on bumper stickers: "Feminism is the radical notion that women are people." I don't believe that women are better than men. I don't believe that men are better than women. I think that they're equal and should have equal opportunities as much as possible. If a woman wants to have fifteen kids and stay home and raise them all, more power to her (though I will admit to cringing slightly at the thought of having that many children myself). If a man wants to stay home and tend to the cooking and the cleaning while his wife goes out and works, hey, I'm cool with that too. What I'm not okay with is someone forcing their spouse to stay home and tend to it, whether it's a man or a woman doing the forcing. I'm also not okay with a man doing everything in his power to force his wife to have children when she doesn't want to - depending on the form this forcing takes, it could range from marital rape (which is legal in many parts of the world still), to denying access to birth control and refusing to wear a condom (or sabotaging it), to preventing her from seeking an abortion (and can we not debate this point here, there's another thread for abortion). I think that there are girls who want to go to technical school, but also want to get married someday and have been told their whole life that boys don't like smart girls, so they either don't go to college, or they get a degree in something more "feminine" than engineering. Whether or not boys do like smart girls isn't the issue - it's that girls are told they don't and since they still want to get a man, they supress their own desires, and i think that's wrong, just as it would be wrong to force a girl who loves cooking to go to engineering school. There are as many different kinds of women as there are men - possession of a uterus doesn't untie us any more than possession of a penis unites men. So really, feminism is all about a women's right to choose, and not just in the "pro-choice" abortion sense. It's a women's right to choose as much of her destiny as a man can, whether that destiny is in a kitchen with a couple of kids running around, or in an operating room performing brain surgery.

On the subject of all or none, I take that stance in regards to the law because when the law starts saying that people can't get abortions for such-and-such a reason, then a precedent is set and they can continue to add restrictions until abortion is basically illegal. So while I personally am against it in certain instances and have no problem with it in others (well, not no problem, but unopposed to it at least), I don't think the law should restrict the circumstances I am against.

Ya rly, because stuck-up Christians are the only ones who are pro-life. Anyways, in most situations, the teenage girl [bleep]ed up her own life. Why take it out on the baby? I'd love to see some statistics on the "most situations" part. And why take it out no the baby? Because scientifically speaking, it's not a baby, nor is it a human, it cannot think, survive on its own, communicate or do anything remotely human. Actually, scientifically speaking, it is human. Just check the DNA. Though you're right that it's not a baby. Depending on the time since fertilization it could be any number of things.

What don't you agree with? I'd love to argue back and forth. :) Well, I don't necessarily agree with having an abortion to avoid going through pregnancy. If someone isn't responsible enough to take all the necessary precautions, shouldn't they have to deal with the consequences instead of taking the easiest (by no means is abortion easy, though) route? Of course, it'd be different if you did take all the necessary precautions and something didn't work quite right, or something worse happened to you (such as rape) and you couldn't have prevented becoming pregnant even if you wanted to. I said I was pro-life, but...I guess I'm pro-life + pro-choice. It depends on the situation, I guess. You did, however, raise a good point about how pregnancy can threaten the life of the mother and child. If someone is in that situation, I guess it makes sense to spare the mother and lose the child. So, to summarize: OK to have an abortion: -Rape victim -Took precautions, precautions failed -Serious threat to mother Not OK to have an abortion: -Acted irresponsibly, could have prevented it Of course, maybe everything is different from a woman's perspective, but seeing as I don't have one of those... I can agree with this. Legally, I think it's impossible to enforce "You can only have an abortion if you tried to prevent the pregnancy in the first place" and trying it would lead to a whole mess of trouble, but I do agree that if they were irresponsible, then they deserve everything that comes along with it and hopefully they're able to grow up and either take proper responsibility for the child or put it up for adoption in the hopes things will turn out as well as they did for you. :)
