Very good anti aliasing, however the rosy cheeks overlapping the black border is slightly distracting 9/10

At the bottom of an incredibly deep chasm, locked with multiple puzzles, and guarded by a powerful Balance Elemental with a combat level comparable to the bosses in the God Wars Dungeon...not what I call "just lying around." :roll: Not to start an argument or anything, but compared to what Guthix COULD have done, what he DID do was VERY simple.

Wet the sand, then put it in the sieve! :thumbup: Hmmm Enchanted Dragon Equipment... Corrupt Dragon equipment... No, no, no, SOGGY DRAGON WEAPONS!!! \ Seriously though, the Corrupt Dragon equip idea is a pretty good one... Its possible that the dragon equipment was corrupted when they lost their powerlink to the dragonkin and by using it against the dragonkin, it somehow absorbs their power, maybe? ...It's also possible that both the Corrupt Dragon Equipment and PvP Equipment was just pulled out of JaGEx's [wagon] and has no real back story or history... That's most likely of all ;)

One of my greatest struggles with the whole historical article concept is how do I make it an editorial instead of just a history lecture? This article was my attempt to blend the two together, but apparently they weren't blended well enough. I'm wary of going for a straight historical fact article, but my hybrid history/editorial article and my fully editorial article both didn't go over as well as I'd hoped, so perhaps I should just go for it. I suppose the worst thing that could happen is that I would be lynched by those determined and resourceful enough to track me down, but I'm sure I can avoid that by getting several more firewalls. P.S. criticism is tragically underrated.

If someone liked it, it has succeeded. And I did. So. (I am one of 'you') No, really. I think that you read wrongly. Should I ask why the Lord of the Rings was written? Or the Mists of Avalon? (both great books, 1000 pages each, keeps you busy, too). These were published for our reading pleasure, as many pieces are. The Times is not a tome of learning, and therefore not required to write solid facts only, indeed, it does regularly feature articles meant to convince. This week, that was the article on contruction. But not every text follows only one schedule; while school teaches us text types, experience (and higher grades) teach us that some text may be written to do all types at once. In short: Article one is for pleasure. There is pleasure in learning, too, when used at ease. Article two and three, likewise, but silly. No big deal (bad-writteness-wise). Then on hunter: I believe that is on pleasure again. Empathy makes us feal human, and nice. Then the fourth is left, which is, like the first, a mixture. Now it is not between learning and amusing, but between convincing and amusing. Though it could be learning for those uneducated in the debate. The pleasure is obviously first. As it should, I think. But if you take that view, what is the point of the discussion topic? It may be for our pleasure, but if I did not enjoy it then I have as much right as you to post about it. As for reading "wrongly", do not presume to insult me by suggesting that I don't know those books or have not read them. Or indeed that I am not well aware of the pleasures of learning. If i dislike a book, I will write a bad review in the hope that the next will be better. Thus I do the same when it comes to these forums. On topic of why those books were written, who knows. However, they do follow a sophisticated and well constructed storyline based on the incredible imaginations of their authors. My point is not so much why the articles were written, but why they were written as poorly as they were. I have no doubt that any of the articles (even the ridiculous imp) could have been very interesting and/or enjoyable for me to read if they were better considered before the writing began. I never once said that the times should be fact based only. I merely stated that the times should have a point. By and large this week's articles contained neither facts or a point. "Empathy makes us feel human, and nice." That I have to say is one of the more pointless comments I've ever come across. What kind of "point" would you expect the articles to have? I'm a beginner in this respect; that was only my second article. I don't yet know exactly to what the readers will respond positively. I'm more interested in criticism than compliments at this point, so tell me, how could that article have been better?

Banned because he might play baseball or bocceball

I loved the veiled reference to "a rolling stone gathers no moss" in the pet rock article :P

Just got 87 magic last night \ Edit: Added shots of 77 crafting and 68 runecrafting. Got em a while ago but was too lazy to upload them right away :-#

The spirit that comes out of a burning vyre body is very likely a spirit icyene, however no one can be certain at this point. The actual name of it, if you hold your mouse over it, is "Spectral vyrewatch" and its examine is "A graceful transition of a troubled spirit to a peaceful end."

Proletariat revolution/getting fat on the labor of the workers (translation: 7/10)

This is very interesting, where did you find this? Probably his mind, it makes sence tho. I'm not aware of any definitive proof that the vyrewatch are really corrupted Icyenes, yet the idea seems very likely to me, especially given what rises from the vyrewatch when you burn it.

Its a simple mistake. It's not too much of a stretch to think that the whip would be an obsidian weapon, especially since they both have a red/black color scheme. He might not have had a whip before, and thus couldn't see the exact item name, and if he asked someone on the street, 99% of them will simply say "whip". what about: a guide how to sell a whip,what price to buy(changes every day :wall: ) I can't speak for HIS intentions, but if I asked that question, I'd have meant a relative price, e.g. 2% below median price or whatever. Still he did seem to be a bit too desperate :P

Banned for having a problem with people speaking binary, yet you stared the whole typing really small phase. Hypocrisy! :o

Its an interesting theory but what supports it? Why exactly are the icyene transforming?

When you reach the end of the Ghostly Robes miniquest, you'll find that you're told who the empty lord is; its Zaros. As for the requirement of Mourning's End Pt. 2 for doing While Guthix Sleeps, I can't say for sure why that's there. It could be that, while not directly related to the Elf storyline, While Guthix Sleeps requires an adventurer of the highest caliber, and that means someone who has done that quest. As for the Stone of Jas, it was discovered by a Fremmenik boy in a cave. This was used by the Moonclan (lunar magic users) to create all the runecrafting altars, yet the remainder of the Fremmenik tribes destroyed the altars, believing them to be against Guthix's wishes. So yes the Stone of Jas is the ultimate source of all magic.

Orly? On my clipboard is my recently submitted Times article, but YOU can't see it till Sunday! :twisted: [hide=Ctrl + V]ULTRA SUPER MEGA CLASSIFIED TOP SECRET[/hide]

9/10, its cute :P P.S. I think he might have accidentally rated your sig instead of your avatar #-o

Oh, I've hit a 72 and 68 pjing so far. In welfare gear. What's a level 80 player supposed to do about that? Well a level 80 probably would be miles out of the range of anybody hitting that. One word: pures. No pure can hit that high with AGS. They could hit double 36's with a darkbow

No offense Psycho, but the examine is "Could this have been one of the ancient dragonkin?" Seems like Jagex is hinting... Geez I didn't even notice that! #-o
