I really like the palm tree one. Darn good work for the method you're using. Keep it up! :D

I've just come back from having quit for well over a year. Um...those in the friends chat know me, but I was never much of a forumite. I think I might try to be this time, though. For those who don't remember me...I dunno. I'm a bit of a diy player, and I'm kinda wacky. That's about all there is to say. :D Oh, and apparently I need to update my avatar. That photo's like four years old. :P

This is for Earthy, who I know for a fact is disappointed at the lack of topless chicks on the thread. [hide=So naughty!][/hide]Ohh yeah. Regarding the whole "topic" thing...doc's got me on steroids right now (anti-inflammatory purposes, not muscle building) and one of the side effects is that my face has swelled up like a balloon. So...no pictures! Bragh!

Are we talking Jurassic Park velociraptors or real velociraptors here? Randall Munroe only ever discusses JP raptors, and I hate to break it to you guys, but real raptors are the size of CHICKENS. They would not be killing anybody. If we're talking about movie dinosaurs, the plan goes as thus: be a white guy or his love interest. Be attractive. Don't do goofy things. Survival is guaranteed. IMPORTANT: must not be the inevitable loser in a love triangle, you will have to sacrifice yourself. All others, i.e. non-whites (me) and whiny, comic relief guys will all die. For the sake of argument, then, I'll assume that we mean real dinosaurs. Firstly, reptiles have teeny tiny brains and cannot comprehend teamwork. The closest that they get to it is when they all rush for the same kill at once. Effective, but easily outwitted by our superior human minds. Secondly, reptiles are cold-blooded. There are actually two factors here, one of which hasn't been brought up. One, reptiles move sluggishly in the cold. They can very easily be outrun. Watch a snake in the desert morning (when it's still 60F or so out) and you'll see what I mean. This is also why you never see reptile species in cold places. A mountain or just plain Canada would be a very good defense. The second factor of cold-bloodedness is hunger. The only reason that we as mammals have to eat daily is to regulate our body temperature. Even large reptiles like crocodiles can go about a month without eating. It makes them riled and easily provoked, but that's not what matters here. The point is that many reptile species don't go actively hunting, they lie in wait for a meal. We don't know that t-rexes would do this as crocodiles do, but it's quite possible. To the actual survival plan, then (U.S. based, more below): grab winter clothing, a machete, a shotgun, a hatchet, every first aid kit that'll fit in a car, a bow with multiple arrows (not for dinosaurs), and a field guide to edible plants. Grab valid U.S. passport just in case of border patrol. Drive north. If and when you're low on gas, steal it while avoiding potentially armed gas station owners. If threatened, explain your plan to them as quickly as possible and offer to let them follow you. Ignore border checkpoints, finding an unguarded, off-road crossing point if necessary. Get into Canadian wilderness. Hunt meat with bow, eat safe plants. Avoid confrontation with wildlife such as competing wolves and defensive caribou. Avoid "civilization" for some time due to increased danger from panic. Find an abandoned house after approximately one year and take it. The biggest danger in this plan is the transition/travel period necessary to get to a safe, cold climate. Success in it is largely a question of personal fighting instinct. If in Australia or New Zealand, I would suggest one get on a boat or a plane and head to the Asian mainland. Not much hope of cold to help you there. In Japan (dino apocalypse would probably start there anyway,) take a BOAT to Hokkaido or the mainland, not the tunnel or bridge systems. They're too risky. (Hokkaido is the northernmost island of Japan and is fairly cold year-round.) Those in S. America, Europe, or Asia should all do the same: head to the nearest polar region or cold mountainous region (i.e., those in India may find it most beneficial to go to the Himalayas rather than Russia...not that they'd all fit.) After several years, perhaps three, seek out other survivors with which own children will be able to breed. NEVER LEAVE COLD ENVIRONMENTS. Abandoned broadcasting equipment may be useful here.

Can I reserve the spot at 7x13, please? If I counted right, that should be the second-to-last row, directly below the crown that's currently in the middle of nowhere.

Second one looks loads better. I wish my hair was like that... my brother's kinda curls like yours, but mine's straight. :\ Chicks dig the type of hair that you have. Earthy, your hair looks great. You've got no reason to be self-hatin'. Hell, if I were out on the prowl, I'd want your hair over bouwzie's. (No offense, bouwzie.)

I was pretty annoyed by it, seeing as it popped up when I loaded the home page about five minutes after waking up. I'm thinking that most everybody in Hyt who isn't Cry or Kai was probably annoyed by it too, honestly... :roll: Anyway, as soon as I saw this, I was basically thinking what the OP said as a joke. Part of the reason I like RS because I can't stand the invasiveness--and pop culture content--of ads on more popular sites like Myspace. The whole sidebar thing is completely unnecessary, but I'm glad that it's at least not on any page of the website but the front.

For index A: Me, far right. Girlfriend, center; friend, left. Renaissance Faire, by the by. It's about a year old but the best pic I could find of m'self with long hair. [hide=][/hide] For index B: Me looking serious in Forest Park. Same as me av...at the moment, anyway [hide=][/hide] And just for kicks, me looking like an idiot, with short hair. I'm a builder. : [hide=][/hide] Done. Kcdragon8116

Hello me. I always sit and pee at the same time for some reason. I'm a guy. :? If you were raised by a single mom, Maze, I think that makes sense. I know I did that up until I was about 15, then I just stopped for some reason. This is teh awesome. :thumbsup:

I'm glad to see this was worked out without international incident (it would seem). Now, let's just get Clinton to hop a plane over to Iran and talk about the hikers there... :wall:

Such as? All those fetishes are fairly normal, really, except maybe the incest. As long as it's not, like, transpyronecrobestiality. I was with you up until the teacher thing. huh? Transpyronecrobestiality would be...lighting dead transsexual animals on fire? By "the teacher thing," Lenin, you mean as a fetish, or the situation? I didn't specify the ideology thing because I didn't wanna throw the thread off-topic (that seems weird to say in this forum. :? ) Glad somebody agrees with me that they're not all weird, though. :

Eh? EDIT: Oh, wait, unless you meant the above poster...

That isopod thing is almost perfectly identical to a louse (like head lice) except like 2 feet long, isn't it? To be honest, I think they're pretty cool. Wouldn't want a bite from one, but...I dunno. Multi-legged things fascinate me as long as they aren't trying to kill me. I mean, they breathe through their skin! This is a really weird one that I bet no one else shares. My girlfriend is creeped out by beads and jewelry of any kind. Even ceiling fan pull chains can get to her if they're the little beady kind. Never been able to figure that out. I think she associates it with somebody hanging a really, really long spit dangle over your face. Whatever. It means I don't have to buy her jewelry. :thumbsup: Also means she freaks out in Walmart around Mardi Gras time, though... :|

Christ. Though I really really don't understand what's wrong with incest except for the fubar baby reasoning behind it. Agreed. I mean, honestly, I don't think there's anything that would get me to act--not even with like three rubbers, a diaphragm, and whoever it was being on the pill. The whole thing would be way too awkward to reflect on. It theoretically could be remembered well, but realistically not, and shoved down and never mentioned again, so I wouldn't ever do it. But that being said, why is the normal reaction to any thought of that nature always "ugh! that's disgusting!"? I mean, we're talking about people who you know really well and are moderately intimate with--emotionally, not sexually--but doesn't the desire for sexual intimacy follow somewhat naturally? The one thing I really don't get is why it's taboo to think about same-sex incest stuff. Personally, I think the thought of girl/girl incest of basically any pairing that doesn't span more than one generation is HOT. It's not like it's gonna make freak babies, certainly, so...who cares? :? [hide=And now, Dragoon presents...another [specialInterest]list to lighten the seriousness of the previous crap.]Dominatrices, dominatrices, dominatrices, but no cigarette burns. Giving oral almost more than getting it. Being in public places--photo booths, restrooms, maybe right on a park bench if it's the middle of the night.

Hentai but not tentacle stuff for the most part. Bondage wherein the tied-up person has to watch two others right in front of him/her (doesn't matter where I am in there.) Also, I HATE lesbian porn if the main thing they do is toys. It's too impersonal. Um...I'm starting to think I might be an addict...and seriously, I have looked at only three topless pics (all at once) and NOTHING MORE for the past TWO MONTHS. I'm trying to be a good boyfriend, but...god help me, I need an outlet for my fetishes that I can't get until I move out of the house, and that could be six months to a year.[/hide]I am amazed at my ability to creep people out, and not gonna let a good thing go to waste. :thumbsup: EDIT (to avoid double posting): I looked up that teacher I mentioned from before, and she's getting married later this year, so nuts to that idea I suppose. Plus weird ideological differences that I never in a thousand years would have expected. :shock: dude,you need to go and play some videogames to hold you fetishes under control i think...... wait....you just spent all of your cash on porn,didnt you? Who in their right mind spends cash on porn? Rule 34 of the internet. Runescape has been occupying my time pretty well lately, though.

I've never understood why professed Christians care. I mean, really. If some guy and some other guy are having the naked times of their lives in a house in a completely different section of town, what the heck do I care? Now, if I live in an apartment with thin walls and they're next door and the time of their lives is keeping me up at night, I'd be mad, but I'd be just as mad if it were a straight couple in that case. Regarding Christianity, and a bit off-topic, I think that if you just gave a person the ten commandments and never let them set foot inside a church, they'd turn out okay. It's the organization that's flawed, not the base philosophy. But then, this is the way I feel about every organization in human history: the process of changing that which came before you is inherently flawed, and will always work in some corruption which won't get worked out. Militaries, education systems, law, banking, every last one of them.

Weirdest single thing I can think of is an autographed photo of Mr. McFeely from Mr. Rogers' Neighborhood. Got it in about 2006, not long after Rogers himself died I think. :( I've probably got other really weird crap lying around, though. Let's see...a sake cup that's never been used because Shiwachi-sensei was very, very adamant that we not even drink water out of it at the festival...dunno what else. [hide=Thing]The St. Louis Botanical Garden has an awesome Japanese Festival every Labor Day weekend and has for over 50 years. If you're an otaku, it's pretty awesome. Not too far off-center of the continental U.S., either, so it's pretty accessible. Those of you looking for a different and geeky short vacation this year, give it a shot. :thumbsup:[/hide]

Why the eff not? Here it is, the one thing that I'd been thinking was too dorky to even tell RS players: I love Homestar Runner. There. I said it. As for actual bad things...lessee...I have virtually every fetish that doesn't involve causing permanent damage to a person or actual animals. [hide=A list.]Bondage. Light silk rope sometimes, chains sometimes. Leather. Non-American black girls, Asian girls, Mexican girls, basically every race in a different way. Lesbians. Interracial lesbians. Twins. Hot wax. Whips. Riding crops. Spanking. Fur to an extent, especially catgirls. Teachers. Being a teacher and having students. Cowgirls. Schoolgirls. [bleep]. Incest in basically every pairing (or more) you can imagine. Wow, I really can't go on. I honestly think it's easier to just say what isn't a fetish.[/hide]Too much pr0n as a teenager? I have several favorite pornstars (who I won't name here) and my girlfriend would almost literally kill me if she knew. I'm bi when the mood hits me but I hate looking at guys in pr0n. Absolutely despise it. There's a teacher I had in high school that was ~24 when I was 17 (19 now) and I'm seriously thinking about looking her up to try and get a three-way going, even though my gf would probably hear none of it. She was into anime and all kinds of dorky stuff. Tall and leggy, exactly the opposite of my girl. I was put in a psych ward when I was 15 for holding a knife to my mom's throat. I snapped a few times when I was in school and attacked people. Thankfully having a girlfriend has basically eradicated the whole being suicidal thing... I'm attracted to all three of my female cousins and one female aunt. Not step-relatives either, mind you, although since I'm the half-Asian one and everybody else is white maybe that makes it a little better...? :| I seriously hope nobody I know reads this, even counting people I "know" in Fsm's chat. :oops: After looking at it, I feel a bit weirder about having a pic in my avatar...but I couldn't think of anything else to put there...

Sniped. At the GE, you're all sitting ducks. Or...TIFers. Whatever. :

So, I've been wanting for a long time to get in some more boss soloing. I know KBD can be good fun by meself. Thing is, I've never done GWD or DKs even as a group. Take a look down at my stat sig, then hop back up here. Note the <68 sum and the <70 agil. Here's what I'm looking to do: Hopefully, get a quick rundown of how to fight all the major bosses with some trustworthy folks (Certain Hyt chatters, I'm talkin' to you.) Get the cash for all the stuff I don't have that everybody else 100+ seems to have comin' out their bums, like a Gs, a Dfs, Bandos, etc. If I need to get other things out of the way first, like getting certain armors, find out what's the quickest way to get them done. Here's what I've got to work with (or the handicaps to work around, if you like) :oops: : 12 mil cash. Access to TD's, if anyone thinks they'd be a good idea. Full Guthan's. (I'm probably going to be a whiny little [something] if people suggest I risk it on my first trip somewhere, because I luvs it. ) Whip. Iron defender and slightly more than zero Warrior's Guild tickets. Dragon square. (self-sufficiency obsession, got both halves meself -.- ) Quest cape/obsidian cape. Nowhere near a 99, trimmed or no. Fire cape may be do-able. Helm of Neitiz. Enhanced Excal for healing. NO full void anything and no points at the moment. NO Gs, Ss, or Zs. NO Dfs. (that's the first thing I wanna buy) As for armor top and bottom...let's just act like I have nothing, kay? Suggest. So, then: If you think I can pull off some boss group trips to help aid the cash flow, which boss(es) should I go to, what method should I use, and what inventory/equipment will I need? If I should work on getting rune defender, what's the fastest ticket earner at Warrior's Guild without throwing my atk/str/def terribly out of sync? If I should work on summoning for bunyips before trying anything, what's the fastest way to 68 from 63, preferably without losing cash? If I should play PC to work on full Void, which set am I after (range?), and how long can I expect 1000-ish points to take me? If I should get fire cape, what inventory and equipment should I use? (inventory is probably covered, thanks Bacon) How long will it take me at my given levels? If I should need to do several of these things, what's top priority? Lastly, slightly off-topic, what exactly is prayflashing, just flicking on and off fast enough that it doesn't drain? Anyone willing to act as a mentor of sorts would be much appreciated. My private is on whenever I am.

[hide=Teh level!][/hide] :thumbsup:

I hadn't thought of that, but you're right. Brilliant. =D> The money used to buy skills was never part of a trust fund from anybody's rich parents or some random luck (Olly aside ) like winning the lottery. Buying ore with money from selling logs is entirely logical. Thank you for showing me this. :pray:

That's a way I hadn't looked at it before. I thought that the main reason I've never bought levels is because I've never been able to afford the initial investment, but as I said, now I can. Maybe another reason is because I just enjoy the solitude and hard work of self-sufficiency. I dunno. Actually, I only have 38m experience because I have no patience for grinding. I can't do more than five or six loads of anything without--hey, what's that?

After a long discussion about runecrafting with the Tifers of W99 today, I got to thinking about my traditional playing method. I can truly, honestly say that I have never bought a SINGLE level. I have never purchased logs for firemaking or fletching, nor have I bought ores or bars for smithing. Virtually every last ore I have ever smithed, every log I've used up, every fish I've cooked, and every gem, bar of gold, and piece of essence I've crafted has been worked from the raw earth (or code) with my own two hands, my pick, and my axe. I've always just looked at it like this: either I can spend some cash on raw materials, or I could get the materials myself and raise another skill towards 99 at the same time. After all, at some point I'm gonna want 99 mining, fishing, and woodcutting, so why buy what they produce? There have been a few times when I've bought stuff sitting in general stores because it was dumped there by other players. When I say never bought, I essentially mean bought from players by the thousands, as opposed to just the odd ten or eleven. Now, I've often wondered why people like me seem to be so rare. It just seems really obvious to me that as long as my woodcutting/fishing/mining isn't 99, I'll keep on getting my own raw materials. It's become pretty clear to me that with runecrafting, at least, the tediousness of mining all that essence would drive any perfectly sane player to suicide. After today's long chat about raising it up to 91, I started to wonder if buying would really be so terrible, as long as I made a profit. I've honestly never had more than 1m cash in my bank for a constant period of time, up until recently, so it's never really been an option. Now that I've got around 10 mil in cash, I'm thinking about starting to buy runecrafting levels, but just the thought of "buying" a level makes me...honestly, it makes me feel a little immoral. Man, I'm weird. :wall: Does anyone else work this way, or am I of a dying breed?
