Comp Bows
Yeah, I think this should be under the Marketplace forum, as you can post your price checks there. I remember on World 1, about 1 month ago, willow composite bows were selling for approximately 200k each. But this is a F2P world, so their value is higher than it is on a P2P world. Also: that was a month ago. So their current value probably will have decreased slightly, by now.

Scammers and reporting.
^ Yes, you can report someone, even if they log out. BUT: only if you report them within 60 seconds of them committing the scam.

Camo really rare now?
As others have said, a random event will occur at a complete random time, following a completely random sequence of events. However: I only have the camouflage top and pants, still missing the hat. I haven't had that random event in over 6 months, I think. The Mime random event has become more frequent, which can be frustrating...

Anyone here know how to bend a person against their will?
Ambiguity is always good, so, two words: deception and manipulation.

New Rants Forum???
I think this should actually be under Forum Updates & Suggestions, but regardless, here's my view: Yes, the rants forum is too broad, it covers too many topics. Hence, it tends to be overrun by typical complaints (no intention of naming them here). I'm the type of person who loves division in my organisation: folders, tabs, sub-folders, sub-headings. Anything to divide my thoughts and work into clean little separate spaces. Of course, that may simply be my pedantic and perfectionist nature at work, but it helps. However: the introduction of the Debate Club sub-forum was an attempt to separate the formal debate topics from the random small-scale complaints, wasn't it? I don't know. I haven't been on these forums long enough to know. But overall I think that, yes, having two separate sections would come in handy.

Skill You Leveled The Longest Ago?
Magic and runecrafting. I runecraft the basic runes and use them to train magic. So they work hand-in-hand. I haven't trained either in over a year, I think. Or maybe more. Runecrafting is the hardest F2P stat to train, in my opinion, which is why I've neglected the skill. Hmm.

Post all trivial Youtube videos here
To anyone who's interested in Phantom of the Opera [film]: Crew Sing-a-long Point of no Return: French Music of the Night: Italian

What are you listening to right now!?
Belle (fran̮̤̉̉ais) - Beauty and the Beast OST. Yes, I'm a traditional female.

300
It stars Gerard Butler, who I adore for his role as the Phantom, so that's a pro. Regarding some of the above posts, I usually appreciate movies for being movies, not for being adaptations or transformations.

The song with the best intro?
Does this include instrumentals? Overture - Phantom of the Opera. Those descending chords are astounding.

Your Personal Top 10 Movies!
I only have two: Phantom of the Opera (2004) and V for Vendetta. In both films, the male protagonists both have characteristics of the Byronic Hero. And wear masks. Hmm. Coincidental, I suppose. Oh, and the English Patient.

Ps1 games
Yeah, I still have Final Fantasy IX, which I haven't actually finished. As soon as X came out, I started playing that instead, but anywhoo.

What Exercise do YOU do?
I'm doing my final year at school, so I don't have as much free time as I do before. I used to do after-school sport, but that's now been replaced with after-school extension lessons. So, rargh. But, - Mon-Fri afternoon: 30 mins on the elliptical strider exercise thing. Yeah. - Sat/Sun morning: I go for a run around the neighbourhood. - Sun afternoon: play badminton with my dad. Oh, and I walk to school each morning, instead of driving.

High school....
I live in Australia. In my post, I already established the variable at hand here: the differing education systems. In NSW and the ACT, the only methods of entering a university course to your liking is: 1. Achieve the required UAI. 2. Pay the full fee to have the UAI requirement waived slightly. Either way, you still require the UAI. This is Sydney I'm referring to, with particular reference to the universities located in Sydney: USYD, UNSW, UTS, being the three predominant ones (demand > supply of courses, hence the UAI is.. sort of the market-determined 'price'). EDIT: Also, several unversity courses have prerequisites, e.g. a higher level of mathematical knowledge - Mathematics Extension 1 or 2 - which can only be taught at school. High school, to be exact. This information is coming from me first-hand, because I'm at that crucial point where I'll be making these decisions. We've been drilled on the importance of attending school and receiving high marks so we can actually study the university course we'd like.

Procrastination
I procrastinate a lot, too. So I learn to incorporate that into my study. I'll do maths homework for an hour or so, then take a break and play RS or whatsoever, then go back to study, etc. So rather than procrastinating for 2 hours, then start working non-stop for another 5 hours, I balance it out. I get distracted easily, even by the music I'm listening to. So I learn to deal with it, not dismiss it. I think.

A successfull RS player = ?
Determination, persistance, positive thinking. An independent person, who doesn't rely on others.

Where would you be with out tip.it?
I didn't start using tip.it until a couple of months ago, so I wouldn't know. I use tip.it more as a back-up second-reference guide, my own memory being the first. Just as a cross-referencer, I suppose.

Most Disgusting Smells. and favorite smells.
The smell of buttered popcorn. EDIT: and sesame oil.

Whats ur most common random event?
OK, usually the Strange Box random event. More than 90% of the time, my inventory isn't full, hence allowing that random event to occur. It's becoming an annoyance though, due to its frequency and disruptive nature. Rargh.

Ever got anything good from the Mystery box?
An uncut diamond: the luck of the draw. I'm usually self-sufficient when it comes to buying resources, so receiving a free diamond was an added bonus to my day.

The Political Compass
Before I finish the test and post my results: I've always thought of myself as being a right-wing conservative capitalist by nature as I was brought up in such an environment. Also, having studied economics, it's rather obvious to see the effects of the answers I'm choosing... But nonetheless, here we go: (1.0, 0.56). I suppose I was correct in my self-judgement, to some extent. I guess.

when you wake up at nights... ->
Well, I have an analog clock on my bed-side table, so I can't see its face during the night / early morning. If I happen to wake up during the night to go to the bathroom or whatsoever, I'll simply climb back into bed and fall asleep. I'm usually too tired from over-studying and excessive piles of homework to notice anything else around me.

Three Big Questions to Ask Yourself
1. Who are you? I am an individual being made up purely of the mind (reason), the spirit (passion) and the body (physical being). My mind and spirit work interdependently, as does the body with the former two, on a separate level. My actions and reactions are the result of the equilibrating forces of the mind and the spirit, in attaining balance. 2. What are you doing here? I wouldn't have a clue. But since I was given that precious opportunity, there is no other reasonable choice other than to accept it and embrace it wholeheartedly. 3. What is your purpose? To experience an inner journey of the mind, and to become altered, blessed and enlightened. To search for the genii loci; to achieve a higher level of thinking, of being; to gain wisdom through experience, rather than knowledge from facts.
