Okay, I forgot to mention...the ring itself is silver, with a diamond in the middle. That's why only the side jewels (sapphires) have any color to them. Dirty fingernail? Oh, I see. That scab on his finger. Aheh. I'll go fix that. Ummm, okay, until I get that fixed, just pretend the scab isn't there and make comments. :

Okay, so I got hold of a better-quality camera, a guy with bigger hands, and I tried to incorporate most of the suggestions given me. I came out with a sepia and a B&W version of Wedding Picture Take 3 (Take 2 was even worse than Take 1, so I didn't even bother posting it.) The images are significantly bigger than before, so I'm just posting thumbnails that you can follow to the images themselves. B&W: Sepia: Better?

Fighting the black knight near the Wizard's Tower with NO food (I was level 20-something-ish at the time), and then running straight towards the black wizards when I was at 2 hp left. #-o I had something I really was ticked at losing, but I don't remember what it was now. Oh, and making my rubies into rings, instead of waiting until I hit lvl 50 crafting--which is my goal anyway--to craft them into amulets. I misread the Crafting Guide and thought they would give more XP. Again, #-o

I was discussing gaming with my friends in the university cafeteria, and I found out two of them played! They don't hardly get on anymore...one of them particularly because he's in the US Air Force now. :

There are other games with similar camera options who still have blue skies with heavenly bodies in them... On-topic: The wind ruffles flags and standards, but never anyone's capes.

It hurts my eyes... I mean, it's good work, but it still hurts my eyes... :shock:

Good point. Primary language for the win! Well, Elvish being one of the primary languages. The other being the Language of Men (aka English).

I concur. My dad was looking over my shoulder at the parodies when I started reading this thread, and he thought "Falador City" was a parody of "Suffragate City." I had to browse through this whole blessed thing before I found it was actually "Paradise City." Real titles are good.

Hey, cool, I'm not the only one who can't leave a bone unburied! (There's a pun in there somewhere...I think I'll pass it up.) My fav thing is to train Magic, with Fire Strike. Black Knights or Moss Giants in Varrock Sewers, because there's rocks or barricades behind which I can safely mage. I probably could do better, but I have a Fire Staff, and I'm reluctant to use runes I can't RC myself just for training. (I'm F2P.) I also ALWAYS craft my own runes when I run out, so that leads to RC by necessity. Right now I'm training primarily Crafting, but also Smithing and Mining by mining silver and crafting tiaras. Any gems I find get made into amulets.

Well, I don't know about the frequency of bans, but I do know one thing. Generally, people--anywhere, everywhere--think the rules are for everyone except for them, and will not let themselves be proven wrong. Read the newspapers any day of the week, and you'll see what I mean. Logically, why shouldn't this mindset extend into the RPGs people play?

I did know that CS Lewis and Tolkien were tight. You know, now that you say that, I remember reading somewhere Lewis himself talking about the influence Tolkien had on his work. I'm not sure where that was...I'll have to go back through my resources and find it. Again, too, I know more about Lewis than Tolkien, so maybe there's somewhere Tolkien talks about Lewis' influence on him. It makes sense, though, that the Dynamic Duo would influence each other. Ok, consider my submission withdrawn.

I'm probably going to get myself into trouble here, but I decided to join in the song-destroying fun. NONE of the links to Bubsa's mp3s on the front page work for me, so I can't hear him. I guess he's still moving them. Still genius, though, and I can't help but pen a few things myself. (Besides, I'm helping keep the topic bumped up, right? :-w ) I got beat to "Beverly Hills," but here's my version, for what it's worth. *2 cents clinks onto table* Members' World I didn't join when it was still Classic My slayer xp's still at none I can't inspect a farming patch and all my friends are level 3's I didn't go to Adrougne High levels never looked at me Why should they? I ain't nobody Got no gp in my bank slots Members' world (obby, obby) That's where I want to be Playing in members' world Members' world (obby, obby) Rolling like Uloveme Playing in members' world Look at all those members there They're all so decked-out and rich When they go into the Wilderness They get to raise their PK count I wanna play a game like that I wanna be just like a player mod Take a screenshot in Falador 'Cause I'm the next Zezima (Chorus) The truth is I don't stand a chance It's something you gotta pay for And I'm too poor Yes, I am I'm just a nooby Free-To-Play And I will always be that way I might as well enjoy World 1 And watch the members play (Chorus) Members' world

So does that mean Six Degrees to Tolkien would be a valid game to play for the fantasy genre? :wink: (For those of you who don't get it, it's a reference to the game Six Degrees to Kevin Bacon. The premise of the game is you can name any movie or movie star, and in six steps, or under, you can connect it back to Kevin Bacon. Example: Eddie Murphy. Eddie Murphy was the voice of Donkey in Shrek. John Lithgow was the voice of Lord Farquaad in Shrek. John Lithgow was in Footloose. And guess who starred in Footloose? Kevin Bacon!) Seriously though, I would submit that CS Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia do not trace back to Tolkien. I don't remember who wrote which first, but I can't see anything in the Chronicles that go back to Middle-Earth.

Interestingly enough, the first thing I got was "Did you mean Ceilidh?" Guess I've been spelling it wrong all this time. 1. A link to some pictures of bands at celidahs. (A "celidah" is actually a Scottish dance party.) 2. My profile on a forum for a webcomic I read. (I use the same username for a few other forums I'm on. Not the same password, though. : ) 3. Link to a post I made on above-mentioned forum. 4. Photo gallery of some family's trip to Scotland. 5. Sublink of above. A lot of other links about various and sundry celidahs. I did some more hunting and found out something interesting. As I said above, I always thought a celidah was simply a Scottish dance party. I found a message board though, discussing a newborn girl named Celidah. The general consensus on the board was that "Celidah" was a poor name choice for the kid, since a celidah actually is (a) like naming the kid "Disco" or "Dance Party", and (B) a celidah is not just a party, it's a party with free-flowing drinks. One poster remarked that naming a girl "Celidah" is like naming her "Kegger." If that's true, then all I have to say is #-o . Too late to change my own online alias now, but I guess that strikes that name off my list of future baby girl names.

Sweeeeet. I was wondering how the distance between the string's starting/ending points between the pictures was going to be resolved. Looks pretty cool put together.
