2nd article: I don't think partyhats should be lendable. In my entire playing time from 2004 to 2007, I never once wore a partyhat, even with free trade. I had multiple friends with hats, but very few people ever lent out their hats, even to best friends, and if they did, it was with extreme caution. I still remember it as clear as day when jimmyd17 got his green partyhat scammed by a friend, pretty much sending him off of RS forever. Since the implementation of item lending, anybody can get a partyhat for a few thousand coins just by bumming around in world 2. Because of this, wearing a partyhat is no longer what it used to be, and owning one has much less power than it used to have. I would certainly lose out in the ability to get rid of junk every night before going to bed, but a change would restore the *ZING* in seeing a partyhat.
