While playing Runescape...
I rarely speak to other players in game unless I have to. I usually only chat with my friends but PM is always on, so if someone absolutely needs to talk to me they can always add me.

Cheating in Runescape and the Bigger Picture
Everybody lies. It doesn't mean you'll be an irresponsible adult.

Drinking/Drugs
I have some friends that do a good amount of 2CD and they love it. I'm not sure how similar that is to 2CB but take it for what it's worth. They say it's an x/shrooms combo.

What are you listening to right now!?
Only a month left until this drops, I am so pumped.

Drinking/Drugs
I'd been around people who had got drunk throughout my whole childhood, mostly close relatives at Christmas or New Year's time, so I had some fair idea of what 'the limit' was even if I hadn't experienced it personally myself, and I knew in general what adults did when they arrived at that point. By comparison, one of my few experiences with people who've taken cannabis is being called out by one of my friends to the park because one of her friends during a session had smashed his head on a rock after losing balance, and was so off on drugs he couldn't actually feel the pain from a pretty wide gash on his skull that was literally pouring blood. Oh, by the way... did they know their limits? Nope, because when I tried persuading them to take him to hospital since I had no first aid equipment on me and there wasn't much I could do anyway, they told me they shouldn't because the police would be on to him. Is this safe use of cannabis? My other experience with a cannabis user was my housemate and his two friends starting a racist assault on two of my other housemates whilst under influence (admittedly with copious amounts of alcohol also), in which they smashed the door of one housemate through and ripped up several religious texts, including one of their Korans, then turned to the other housemate's room and threatened to knock the door through and--I exaggerate not--kill him. He ended up being charged for racist assault, fined the bill by our landlord, and thrown out of university. And no, strangely enough, my parents didn't smoke ganja round the Christmas tree. I'm not suggesting all cannabis users are like that, but when that's my experience of cannabis users, is it really any surprise I've taken the option not to go anywhere near the stuff? See, those are the kind of things that one frequently misinterpreted study in The Lancet doesn't account for. I saw plenty of people drunk before I ever had a taste of liquor, but when I first got drunk it was a lot different than I thought it would be. You expected certain things, but you had absolutely know way of knowing how they would affect you until you tried it--it's different for every person. If you use cannabis it should be in a very controlled environment (preferably a basement with dim lighting) until you are comfortable with yourself to go out in public. Most importantly, it should be with people you trust, the same goes for drinking. It sounds like the stupidity of your friends is what got them hurt and in trouble, not cannabis or alcohol. While I admittedly smoke and drink a lot, I will never let either affect my relationships, my studies, or my family and I don't support copious and irresponsible use of either. Like I said, you should experiment with small amounts before you try to get "high as a kite" and it should be with people you trust, not at some random party where you get too [bleep]ed up to function. I understand your hesitancy towards cannabis and I know that for some people cannabis just doesn't fit them, and that's okay, but don't let a handful of people's irresponsible use turn you away from it.

Drinking/Drugs
You didn't know the effects of drinking before you tried it either, that's a poor excuse for non-drug use. I'm not purporting that you must try drugs because you've tried alcohol--which by the way is a drug and anyone who convinces himself otherwise is delusional--but I know my limits with cannabis and I know my limits with alcohol and both drugs can be used safely.

Drinking/Drugs
Not really, you can brew your own beer extremely easily. I'm not sure on making hard alcohol, but it doesn't seem overly complex. Growing cannabis is extremely tricky (not from experience). If you go into the process with the "just need some seeds and some soil" mindset, you're going to get crappy ditchweed that will just give you a headache and a dry mouth. I don't want to take this any further as discussing illegal substances is a fine line in the first place, I just wanted to make a point.

Drinking/Drugs
Everyone has their vices and to me it doesn't matter what you pick. I drink heavily and smoke heavily too, those are my vices. I quit cigarettes about a month back and it's the best thing I've ever done.

Project Gun Runner and Operation Fast and Furious
I don't think you can ever say one organization is responsible for them getting guns when gun laws are so loose. I gave you the benefit of the doubt the last time because I enjoy debating, but this is the worst attempt of a troll I have ever seen in my life. Disagreeing = trolling? You act like it's such a travesty, but I don't see you getting angry at the fact that it's so easy for gun runners to get guns legally in the states in the first place. Because that debate is not for this topic and if it gets brought up, this topic will turn into the same gun control debate we've had at least once a year since I've been here.

Today...
There used to be a Fruitopia (90's much?) machine at our hockey rink that if you put in two single bills and pushed the Strawberry Passion Awareness button, it would spit out 4 bottles every time. It was so awesome. I found out today that the research project for my Medieval Europe class was pushed back two more weeks...only after I did half of it thinking it was due tomorrow. Oh well, I guess I'll only have half a project to do in a couple weeks. Sweet.

The Best Albums of All time
Deadwing over Fear of a Blank Planet? I don't know about that one, but you've got a nice little list and I haven't heard of a lot of these bands, so mission accomplished :thumbup:

Live Concerts
I saw Queens when they opened for Rage in 2007 (Rage's third show since breaking up) and they were AWESOME. I still swear they were way louder than Rage was. I loved their show and I'd see them again in a heartbeat.

If they were tradable...
What is this? Read it yourself. Magad, this is so awful I will not even bother to explain why this is so terribad of a statement. Clues would be, in my opinion, ~10-20% cheaper than their average loot is worth. Yeah I see the problem. I meant that if people are buying large quantities of Clue Scrolls (and inherently solving more Clue Scrolls), the ability to receive more rewards will go up in the long run, which will drive up the price of the Clue Scroll. Statistics isn't my forte, sorry for the confusion.

Tip.It Times - 3rd April 2011
As the editor of this week's articles, this qualifies as a mistake on my behalf, but as one of the people that hasn't trained Herblore on BXP Weekend (or trained it in years) I assumed Stormage was correct. I tend to edit the writing style/grammar/structure of the article more-so than the topic of the articles--perhaps that's an improvement I can make in the future. Thanks for your input!

This is not the first time this topic has been discussed and I'm sure RSC wasn't the first site to have that discussion either.

If they were tradable...
Lol. Barraging for crimsons cost around 4k each, or 2k each with Brobes. Hence that sort of price. Obviously far cheaper via fiends. But then factor in the time taken to gather them, rather than purely the cost in supplies. 4k each is not unreasonable at all. And I also found your clue scroll piricings amusing. 1m for a hard? You are playing a different game my friend. 100k tops. While I don't think Hard Clue Scrolls are worth 1m, I also don't think they're worth a mere 100k. Although the likelihood of receiving rewards that are worth significant amounts of money is low, you have to remember people would be buying large quantities of Clue Scrolls which would increase their odds of receiving rare rewards over time. I'd put the price somewhere around 500k. But, at the same time, you'd assume, if Clue Scrolls were made tradeable, that Jagex would also decrease the drop rate in order to compensate for drop-hunters. There are too many "what-ifs" in order to get a truly accurate price, but I definitely think they're worth more than 100k.

75 Albums you should own, Tip.It version
I'll probably make an addendum to mine sometime this summer. I've got a drum instructor that has given me loads of great music and I've gone down a few musical avenues myself that I hadn't considered at the time of my first list. Should be interesting.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Maybe that's what hell is, the entire rest of eternity spent in [bleep]ing Bruges----Favorite line from that movie, I loved it.
