  1. So what happens to people with max cash and 100 statuettes?
  2. looks to me like a "smack the efficiency clown with the rubber chicken of reality" event to me drunkscape = faster than golvkellius
  3. Here's what I thought when you got neck drop (only watch first 6 secs)
  4. The only difference is that, pre-07, jagex didn't baby everyone, so it was legitimate to have questions/concerns. Now if you still can't figure something out, with all the guides/help forums/ridiculously brain-numbing tutorials, it's understandable that you should be harassed.
  5. Yes, a profit is ALMOST guaranteed for one game. But in the long term, the SLIGHT chance of losing, which has an impact exponentially stronger than the impact of every little win, the results still even out to 0 net profit. Seriously, this is one of those arguments where I'm positive I'm not wrong. Just wikipedia the Martingale System.
  6. It's a gambling fallacy that this style of betting (called the "Martingale" system) is actually profitable. Basically, if you have 1.5m to play with, you will get to play 4 games until you lose all of your money. So that gives you a 15/16 chance of making 100k and a 1/16 chance (LLLL, all at 1/2) of losing 1.5m. So, on average, you will win 15 times (1.5m total) and lose once (-1.5m). Interesting. Though, say you've got 10 billion gp. If you restrict yourself from using only 100m, this could work. In the rare case that you happen to lose the 100m, just keep doubling it, and after a few more games, you should have gained it back. Nope, same thing. You always have a chance of losing ALL of your money that is exactly proportionate to the expected payoff for all of the small wins you will make. No matter how you try to break it up, the only way to make money in a 1/2 chance game is to get above-average luck.

  8. thankfully monoliths dont spawn zombie axe throwers. i see one of those 133 zombie axe throwers and im out
  9. Hehe I just went and watched iodio's vids after that. I remember I made 5101k in 2 hours some day in late october 2006... I had never seen that much before, and I had spent all of my money on a whip previously
  10. Reds are bought out again (unanswered offers of 100m risings + cash for 1, 200m cash + ge for 2 with free trade), and greens aren't going for masks + cash anymore.
  11. I guess I can only hope for blue to crash so I can take advantage of the panickers and get myself an upgrade. Doubtful, though.
  12. Had to have been bots. Any real person would have flamed the OP like mad for ruining their 1-click cycle while trying to be all vigilante bot-catcher.
  13. A common trend is that a lot of people view the crash as a chance to upgrade their hats to higher ones. But what happens when you get to the higher hats? Do people want to sell their whites in GE to try to snipe a blue? Probably not.
  14. Or people will realize it's all panic, partyhats will rise again, and everyone who panic sold will be screwed. Personally, I have no temptation to sell my white.
  15. Lol ya, I did one last night that was ALL scanners, and I got an armadyl page. I'm thinking the rewards are junkier than level 3 clues. And LOL, for some reason that made me picture some 15 year old nerd pumping his fist, while sitting alone in his room, saying "Yes, zinger!"
  16. We really can't know. Corp is the only non-instanced place I know of (other than bh/pvp worlds) in which you don't get a gravestone, so this could be an exception to the instant dropping rule.
  17. My white is better than yours And I'm not really sure where he was going with this... If he's referring to what I think he is, I've never referred to it as a human ****** before.
  18. If you find monster defence to be a problem, make a bloodrager and some sundering strike scrolls. They significantly lower defence - very useful on bosses.
  19. Kwimbob That sounds great. You start getting free longswords 1 tier below top tier for any complexity, and those are good. But yeah, if you get top tier, that'd be great (I have a katagon long locked in, myself). :shock: i havent seen you in years. I would bind a surgebox for ammo and the highest 2h sword you can equip
  20. All useful items and skills put to 99 only costs around 1b. So what to do with the rest?
  21. I think too many people have the mindset that they can sell their p hat now and buy back after they crash. This could cause some panic later on. We can only wait and see, but I'm going to hold onto mine. RSOF discontinued forums are having the same confusion:
  22. The way it looks right now, you'd have to get lucky to sell yellow and be even luckier to buy a green. If you don't play much anymore, I wouldn't risk getting stuck in a bad situation, such as being able to sell the yellow, not being able to buy the green, and having partyhats rise again on you.
