11th January, 2007 Went from 4k to 416k yesterday. Went from 416k to 696k and 6 rune picks and 1 rune scimmy today. Need to make more money on my main! =P

Feel free to add me. I alter my chat settings depending on how chatty i feel. =P riakk, can you explain further? i'm a bit muddled about how it works, and whether an f2p like me can use a ring of recoil. =P

Cool. Thanks in advance. I'm playing my main for a bit for now. =) Make sure you read the rules for item scamming, and make sure you don't do any of those, otherwise the scammers can report you and get you in trouble. I think the main trick here is to cancel trade, and say "sorry, wrong button, pls trade again, i'll accept it" and say "tyvm" at the end of the trade, and make it so that he offered a good price for what you intend to sell for cheaper. So no misleading words saying "selling rune full" when ur selling iron full back to the scammer. Just click trade, and accept and be gone. =) If you don't talk, they can't find you in the busy west bank in Varrock world 3. =P Like they say, the best hacker is the systems admin, as he knows how to get into his own system, and he counters it with measures to keep his system safe. The best scammer, should be one who watches what scammers do, and understand the key essentials about it, and counter it with what is necessary. A key point to notice is that.. a scammer gets really excited and tries to accept trade very quickly when he thinks he's successfully scammed you! So what you need to do is make him think he's scammed you, and follow his lead and accept trade. How not to get in trouble for it all? I'd avoid the rune > iron swap, once or twice when you're lucky is fine, but try to avoid similar tricks that scammers use. Instead of switching to something not worth switching to, you should switch to something say mith or addy, to justify that's what you think the price he offers really pays for. So you don't get in trouble to scamming [see overpriced selling scams in Rule 2]. The rest of it, is to play it by ear. You're pretty much on your own with scammers, and you need to play smart to prevent them from reporting you, they have to make a bad move first, and you need to act smart. Usually a scammer runs for it as soon as he's "got" you, so you just need to stick around and maybe walk into another crowd, and watch him jump off the world with your "goodies". I must stress how important it is that you know the rules, and follow the rules as closely as possible and not give space for them to report you. Otherwise, you'll be vulnerable for reporting and banning. So safety first, everything else after.

You never paid attention to my sig. ;) =P all forgiven =) I spent the whole day on my main today.. just got at a lvl 82 scammer. =P muahahaha! Score 3 for hsifreta, 0 for scammers This wasn't actually a scam, but read along, you'll see what happens. =P I bought 100 str pot (3) at 50k, and decided to change banks and sell for 70k. A lvl 82 member scammer came up to me, and offer 1000k, 200 lobbies and green d top to me, then i accepted (knowing that i'll get 10,004 instead, and did quick maths and decided it was a good deal after all), then he added 5 tuna and changed the cash etc. And we traded =P He's gonna enjoy finding out that he didnt really buy str pot (4) as he thought he bought, otherwise he wouldnt have offered those things for it. =P I think i retailed his things and got around 50k out of it =) So I didn't get scammed, and the scammer goes home disappointed. =O Wooters! PS. Instead of ignoring scammers, I think getting them back for it is a lot more fun! =P It's time they taste the pain that they cause other ppl. On top of which, we get to report. =) And hopefully, its a double sting! PPS. Btw, not so much for hypocracy, as I just adjust my side to fit what he offers, and don't mislead by saying "sell rune full" etc crap, and I don't do this to people who don't scam. I think that's fully justified. =P -- Other updates.. I got a nice deal on a black gild skirt, and i realise that's exactly what I needed for my outfit. I'm going to add my main onto my avatar as well later on when I have time. Black (g) skirt, black chain and black hat looks good, but I think it'll look better if I changed my skin colour to a lighter colour =)

10th January, 2007 Eat that scammers! I met a lvl 70 scammer, who did the 180k > 18004 switch scam, he wanted to buy full rune. I was hanging around, and I realised that something fishy was happening, cuz he kept switching places and buying full rune at 180k when there's a guy at the centre selling at 175k. So I bought one set to test him out. =P And I saw that he did the switch.. =P So i came back around with a noted iron full.. and spam trade him (i didnt say anything about selling full rune).. oh well, i was selling iron full and he offered 18k for it. Score 2 for hsifreta, 0 for scammers I did a similar thing before, when someone was selling rune axe for 10k, he switched to addy axe, and i switched to 1k. =P He accepted quickly, so I did too. =) Let them taste some of their own medicine! I also add them to my list of ppl to stalk when I feel righteous =P I just follow them and do colored text saying "[name] is a scammer, he does the [type] scam, don't trade him" till he leaves the world. =P

I've got this crazy new idea in my head. =P Woodcutting and firemaking! Last night I decided to burn my way up to lvl 60, and start burning yews. =P Thought it'd be funny to burn yews right in front of yew cutters in a busy world. =P 10th January, 2007 Burning Lumby bank down! It's funny how different people react to a blazing bank. =P So here I am at lvl 60 firemaking: So time to chop my way up to 80~85 woodcutting.. muahaha. =P

Go Dusty Go!

I absolutely hate it when Tip.It can't retrieve your scores info because you haven't gotten into the 1,000,000th spot yet. =P So that's my goal for now, to get into teh hiscores with my noob =P And to get into the remaining hiscores with my main. =P Required lvls: Mining - 52/55 Smithing - 43/45 Firemaking - 31/40 Woodcutting - 38/56 Fishing - 15/54 Cooking - 27/54 Strength - 58/60 Attack - 58/60

Spent a day with my main, I missed combat, so I ranged a bit, and then train a bit of magic and crafting. =) Won't be crafting much with my noob. =P It's one of my lower priority skills for newbino.

Thanks, justin. That helps a lot. Goblin armour, well, as a noob, I kinda pick up everythign that's of value that's on the floor, so I've got 3 armours in my bank. I think that's enough for the quest.

Where do you put your fish after you fish them? Or do you have an atm somewhere there as a member? After i get my newb to mine and smith rune, I'll train my main's combat on lessers, and fish lobbies to do the trick.

Awesome.

Nice.. too bad i'm grounded. Have fun. =)

5th January, 2007 Found a way to get on the comp for a couple of hours.. but mom caught me. =P boohoo~ Current skills: mining - 52 smithing - 42 fishing - 15 cooking - 27 fire making - 31 wood cutting - 38 I got bored of walking all over runescape to sell bits and pcs.. so i've decided to make full iron sets and just keep them in bank and see how many i have whenever.. =P I've been mining 1k ores, smithing it, then back to mining for quite a few k ores, I've lost count. =P 995 ores standing in bank waiting to be smelt.. but it seems, I can only smelt and smith them in a week or something.. not sure when i'll be allowed on again. sigh~*

I find that I have this major attitude problem. =P Let me rephrase that.. I love being nice and helpful, but if you just come out of nowhere and start being mean, you'll find that I can go far nastier and far lower than you, with the advantage of a fuller vocabulary, and more experience at slapping back with a smile. I always get the last word, and it usually end with "Reported. [Name], offensive language. Thanks for playing!" I never swear, and after receiving one offense a while ago, I can easily slander without actually slandering. I hate evil miners who think they can steal everyone's ores, I hate people who call newbs "newbs" rather than extending a hand to help them, I hate scammers, and I hate beggars, because it's so easy to earn you way up, and either way is just annoying and destructive. If you want to be generous, you teach them. Don't just let them lay out their hand, and give them what they want.

Thanks. a bit hard now though. My mom just grounded me from teh computer as school's starting again. =( Won't be able to train as much. This really sucks. It's for the better.

bump =)

i haven't had a chance to see ur flying camel yet. =P

if he goes up 1 lvl, then u get to be the closest one. =P

4th January, 2007 For those of you who know me, I absolutely love trading.. for those of you who don't, well, there you go. =) Started my first shopping spree on my noob, most of the money on my noob are made from smithing iron sets and selling at the shops.. at lvl 42 smithing, that's a lot of iron sold. =P I bought my first 3 cheap rune pieces today.. rune med at 7k, and 2 rune picks at 23k ea. =) wooters! there's my security blanket, and my batteries all charged up again.. off to the mines we go!

That's my cute noob avatar.. so glad it works. =) Now you have a face to remember.. but i'm very cranky these days, there are way too many meanies around the mining site.. ppl just treat my lvl 3 with much less reverence than they do my lvl 72. =P grrr. Other screenshots that I've saved up.. 25th November, 2006 I tripped over an ice warrior.. hurray! It's one funny bug they never fix cuz noone really reports it. 29th December, 2006 My noob at 200 skills! Wooters! 4th January, 2007 Saw 2 golems throwing rocks today.. missed that part of the screenshot, but I've found those rocks pretty amazing.. reaches any spot on the minimap, and makes you run very very far. That's about it for now. =) PS. the tab that I use the most is the friends tab, because I chat a lot, and I tend to forget to click it away before I print screen something, so just as a disclaimer, please don't harass my friends, they have been really good friends, and will always be, so don't harass them. I've known some of them for over 3 years in this game, so yeah.

hehe.. =P i'd be equally happy for donations.. but right now i'm working on mining, and dont really need much donations for mining. =P back from holidays in taiwan, and back with screenshots, news and other things. =) 26th December, 2006 My first mystery man maze! Mucked up totally. =P 27th December 2006: Earthquake in Taiwan took out the Internet... but miraculously, runescape still works! woot! Show's how rich they are =P 28th December, 2006 My friend gave my noob a belated Christmas present.. have a look! ;) 4th January, 2007 Happy New Years, people! A lil late, but better late than never. =P The current stats for my noob are: mining - 49 smithing - 40 fishing - 15 cooking - 27 fire making - 31 wood cutting - 38 Mage lvl on my main went up to 61, att and def both went up to 58 after killing loads, and lvled up on 2 tiny rats in Lumbridge. =P I love maging, but I don't "train" anything on my main, I just play for fun. I think my noob is closer to my phat goal than my main is. =P

didnt quite get that one.

back online. =) hmm.. haven't seen u around these last few days. how's new years?

After 4 more sleep hours mining - 19 smithing - 3 fishing - 15 cooking - 27 fire making - 31 wood cutting - 38 bought a mith axe today.. sure speeds things up. heaps better than bronze. =P since i can't actually wield anymore of my axes, i decided to permanently hold a snow ball in my hand. =P
