Great name or greatest?
I was considering changing my middle name to Peace. My first name is Warren, so I'd be Warren Peace! Literature humor... :ugeek: . Anyway, I think Batman bin Suparman still beats this failure who changed his name for the lulz.

Barack Obama is the 44th President of the United States
15 pages of posts overnight?!?!?!??! That's gotta be a new record for OT. :shock: Anyway, I fell asleep long before the results were in so I didn't see the speeches. I'll look em up on Youtube later. I'm glad Obama won. He had the support of the international community and had about 2/3 of the electoral votes. Now let's see what happens to the nation in January...

Is God real post your thoughts!
It's funny how Saruman suddenly turns so non-aggressive when warri0r's around :lol: And as the both of you said, there's no way we can have two equal pisitions just because neither one can disprove the other because of the various ways of viewing this. Saruman, maybe I overlooked a post, but what specific religion are you? Just wonderin'.

Pick Up Lines
I'm really bad at pickup lines. I always get something wrong that offends the girl. Like the time when I said "are you an angel or did someone die in here?". Didn't go too well with her. Yeah, I got that from Last Comic Standing. ^Wtf at the above two posters who quotes wongtong. Great minds think alike I guess...

The Offical TIF American Elections thread
Why? because we have to stay up late to see who's elected? I really don't see where you're coming from.

Dragon Full Helm - now a PVP drop (confirmed)
I'm f2p now so I couldn't care less for the price drop on dfh's. However, one must wonder why something wasn't done before. If it's a bug, why not just remove it? No one who gets the most valueble drop in pvp is going to turn it in through a bug report. There's a chance that a mod will read it wrong and ban the reporting player for bug abuse.

DFHs in PvP - A bug... or not?
Hah! I remember a J mod posting about a few inquiries he got about amulets of glory. He stated that glories do not increase rates of anything, completely forgetting the fact that fully charged glories DO increase gems from mining. The rants forum had a blast for all of 10 minutes.

Is God real post your thoughts!
There is some evidence that indeed, all creatures of the world are linked and share a common origin. Like the cycle of ATP and ADP, which provides the energy necessary for all creatures to carry out chemical reactions. So if you're born into wealth, power, or any pleasant living situation, god is to be praised, but if you're born into poverty and struggle, god is NOT to blame? This is where things get murky. Some would agree with you, God is to be praised when you're wealthy, but it's not his fault when you're poor. If you ask me that's pretty ridiculous. Now, I do think it's perfectly fine to praise God if you lead a happy life. However, numerous quotes in the Bible show that your status in this world doesn't matter in the afterlife. God works more on you're life after death than your present status. The Beatitudes show this rather well.

[Please Lock] I ate a piece of glass....
I think quotes from this thread have been siggied the most times since the Testicular Torsion thread. Good times, good times... glass-eating seems to be a meme of OT now. The weirdest thing I've eaten? A quarter. When I was five. I threw it up later and a nickle came out with it :shock:. That memory is reminding me of that south park where Cartmen craps out fake jewellery after eating it... :lol:

What do you look for in a boy/girl?
I like small girls. Not the thin ones that starve themselves, but girls that are naturally small. Not sure why. Also, unlike a lot of guys, I prefer girls with smaller chests and [wagon]. Those rapper girlfriends with gigantic jugs on their front and rear just don't appeal to me. Go ahead, tell me I'm not a real man.

The Offical TIF American Elections thread
I too am watching CNN atm. Cnn's projections seem to show Obama raping Mccain. Virginia seems to be going back to McCain. Bobbington, it's probably because a lot of the news networks and battleground states are towards the east and thus news gets around faster.

The history of your forum/game name.
Wow pryomancer, all this time I've been thinking pyro... Thanks a lot. Now whenever I look at your name I have to get in a 5 minute discussion with myself about the name choice and letter switching. As for my name, Warren is my first name. the 2 and 11 are for my birthday (November 2nd. Last weekend. Happy 15th to me : ). I wanted just Warren as my rs screenname but it was taken. I had the account "Warren" added to my friendlist for a while so that if he ever logged on I could beg for his account. He never logged on :( I really hate when people in rs call me war. My name is not derived from warfare, it is my name. Either call me Warren or Warren211. One kid even made a typo and called me Warner. I yelled at him "do I look like an animaniac to you?!?!". I made the mistake of telling some of the guys of this on Forsakenmage chat and whenever I go in the chat, someone usually says "Hi warner". It grinds my gears to no end. What's funny about my name is that everywhere I go in runescape someone comes up and says "Warren's my last name" or "Warren's my first name" or "Warren's my city name" "Warren's the street I live on". If you want to be an internet stalker, use Warren in your name ;)

Stabbed in the Back...?
I think there's a reason behind him deleting the blog. He wouldn't do that just to piss off a best friend. And if he did, he wouldn't go into reclusion over it unless he's very emotionally unstable. You ought to confront him, but not in an angry way. More like an inquiry. There might be a big reason behind it. Family member died, girlfriend broke up, etc and he wanted to vent it on something. That doesnt make his actions right, but you should get to the bottom of this.

Jagex Siezing Youtube Videos?
Jagex uses copyright claims in a lot of videos with controversial runescape material. Like scamming, hacking, private servers, etc. If I'm not mistaken, the fally massacre video is long gone as well due to copyright claims. I'll have to look it up later. Anyway, next time credit Jagex and the songwriter. At the end of the video or in the video description. This particular case seems more like the music copyright more than Jagex.

Could a Facist Democracy work?
I think we've established that a Facist democracy is impossible. But I think the OP is not really referring to democracy (people governing) so much as just giving them rights similar to that of the Constitution. In that case, it would only work if the Facist leader happened to not get too power-hungry. But that kind of person is quite hard to come by. To be put in command of a powerful nation where rebellion is easy for you to destroy, who wouldn't take advantage once in a while? You'd have to take a pretty big gamble to put someone in so much power and hope that they won't abuse it.

An unanswerable question
The world is either time or eternity. Eternity just isnt forever. Eternity is the absence of time, everything happens simultaneously. Time orders things chronologically. No two things can occur in the exact same plate at the exact same instance. In eternity, it can.

13yr old sent home for dressing as jesus
Dressing as just Jesus is ok, but it'as when you make satirical Bible references and religious jokes that it can get offending. And of course, when you go to school as Jesus, there's naturally going to be some Bible satire reaction. I'm a Christian and while I couldn't give a rat's [wagon] what they say about my God, I know there are others who will be offended and it's not really fair for them. I think it's pretty reasonable to ban such costumes, it would otherwise just start controversy when next year a Muhammad or Buddha costume gets to stay. At my school we had two Jesuses. Both were Juniors and had Bible jokes and Jesus jokes surrounding him. It was actually quite humorous because most of our school is Jewish and couldn't give a damn, but I know there are probably some kids who just mask their offense with humor because they don't want to ruin the party.

The mysterious farming poll
It wasn't just because it was negative. The poll was released very soon after farming was released. Really it only reflected the initial reactions of the players. And of course, players at that time were more concerned with it's immediate benefits then long term. It sounded like a stupid boring skill: plant seeds, water em, then wait. Sounded like the stupidest skill on the planet. People failed to realize how useful or easy it was to train: plant seeds, have the farmer watch them, go play castle wars. Not to mention the hard to get herbs could now be homemade. Plus, more updates were released as a partner to farming. Quests, etc. So farming was more than click and grow. But the players seeking immediate benefits didn't find any (there are very few useful things you coould grow under level 30) and so they voted negatively. I'm sure if the pole was retaken now, it wuld have much better results.

Halloween
I went to a friend's house to trick or treat. His neighborhood is full of rich white families with massive houses and 3 door garages they don't use. Those people are loaded, they hand out the big candy bars instead of little packages. One lady gave out taffy apples. My neighborhood? The old ladies give us those mexican and japanese candies that no parent trusts, the families give out leftover candy from last halloween (My family is one of those families : ), and everyone else has their lights off because they hate children. I was so glad to go to my friend's house on Halloween. I scored so much yum.

Why does everyone think governments are evil/out to get us?
I don't see how viewing emails will help anything. Anyone who is going to discuss sich a massive undertaking will certainly use some kind of code. As the nice example soemwhere above says, they're probably not going to flat out say "we're meeting under the bridge at 3 PM to assassinate the president. Bring a gun and a bomb. we are terrorists." What key words would be useful? Terrorist? They'll get all kinds of forewarded news stories about terrorists. Guns/weapons? Hah, I can think of dozens of subjects you can discuss involving guns, none of which include terrorism. Al-Quaida (sp)? Good luck finding an email about al-quaida that's NOT written by a member of the group.

Banned Books
It seems we all have different definitions of the word "ban" here. :-k From what I see, books can be banned in a few ways: 1) Public libraries 2) schools 3) Overly protective and/or conservative parents who are afraid a book written by an author with non-mainstream ideals will ruin their child's stance on politics early on and destroy their lives. And as someone else said, all the bannings will do is encourage interested readers and self-proclaimed rebels to read these books because there's something about the books that makes politicians (and soccer moms) nervous. Books like these are MEANT to give us an inside look on the ideals that were the norm back then but are now highly controversial. This thread is making me anxious to read Orwell because I've never heard of him. GF book ban.

Ranging in PVP using the wilderness ditch
I have to agree with this. If the ditch blocked arrows, we'd just have issues of hit and run meleers who attack mages and rangers and then jump over the ditch. The solution to cowardly rangers? Go deeper in the wild or outside of it so that he has to leave his precious ditch to attack you. And while they still can hit and run while you're chasing them from a distance, you just have to pull them out of their comfort zone.
