I don't necessarily disagree with you. That's just how things are, which is why the internet is not for children. It's a lesson that OP needs to learn. That and public chat off.

Try tinypic. *shrug*

you haven't callled?!!!!!!??!?! no homo by the way

Exactly. You catch on quick. You see, on the internet, you're anonymous. Anonymity allows people to do things and say things that they wouldn't normally do or say. I can say whatever I want to you knowing that you cannot do anything to retaliate other than insult me. In the real world, the same does not apply. You cannot walk up to a big black guy and call him a you-know-what because there will almost certainly be extreme repercussions, and no one likes repercussions. Thusly, you're far more likely to encounter malicious behavior over the internet. Luckily for us, however, the internet also allows us to more easily shrug off malicious characters via nifty tools like ignore lists. The same does not apply to the real world. In conclusion, man up.

I'm not a hard worker, so no Hufflepuff for me. I'm not EVIL, so no Slytherin. I'm pretty courageous, so maybe Gryffindor. I'm the thinking type, so maybe Ravenclaw. I'm goin' with Ravenclaw.

I'm astounded at your lack of comprehension, i'll dumb it down just for you. You can be insulted on the internet, you can be insulted in real life. Thats about as simple as i can put it. :) Cool. Thanks for the clarification. Now I'll break it down further -- the internet is a bad place and little kids should not be using the internet if they haven't grown out of their diapers yet and can't handle mean people. There's a huge difference between insulting someone on the internet and insulting someone in the real world. The fact that you don't get that is extraordinarily humorous to me. You really shouldn't be using a computer.

My blog is too cool for school. I'm getting really tired of posting on TIF tbh. I've gotten to the point where I don't even want to argue with people anymore. I just want to tell them they're wrong and move on, 'cause I can't comprehend their stupidity. I'm an elitist efficiency clown, I know, but it's just too bothersome. There's two or three posters that target and attempt to argue with me over every little thing I say. That would be fine except that what they say doesn't make sense, and it's often baseless trolling, blah blah blah. complain complain complain just can't get into the debates these days. too much trouble. too much brain power required. not fun. i mean literally, i see some of the things that people say to Stone, Ancient, Grimy, xpx, etc, and the only response that comes to mind is "lol?," 'cause what they say does not make any sense in the slightest. /rant

EXCUSE ME SIR. I WOULD NOT BE IN HUFFLEPUFF. Ravenclaw ftw. :shades:

Yea, and in real life you have the option of walking away. Doesn't make it any more or less insulting. Or laughing at the fact they are trying to insult you with words. Really, no different. Sorry, but the only response I can come up with is Lol. I'm sorry you have such a hard time on the internet. I really am. Good luck with that. Implying that you have such a hard time in real life? Not sure how you inferred that, but okay. :)

Never underestimate a TIFer.

Excuse me, sir. Hi. I LOVE YOU. That is all.

Sure. 1.) Every stimulus inherently leads to boredom. Boring is the state of being saturated with the same stimulus for extended periods of time. Fun is simply a personal measure of how long you can enjoy the exposure. If you liked the movie Avatar, then watch it again and again continuously for the next 307 days and then tell me how you aren't bored. 2.) I can, but I really have to ask if you want to see that part of him? 3.) I can prove that you can log into runescape and not be involved in competition. I could simply use RS as a chat client. You can't prove the contrary. 1. I addressed that when I mentioned in a previous post that I stop playing Runescape when it becomes boring. It is not, however, inherently boring. There's a big difference. Nice try, though. 2. Why do people keep responding to this question with "are you SURE you want to know?!" Well, yeah, obviously I do, so prove it. 3. Clever response. You and I both know, however, that you're clutching at straws. Prove that actually playing the game is devoid of competition.

I PUT ON MY ROBE AND WIZARD HAT

Yeah me too. With so much dmg soaking possibilities, everything that mattered to elys and divines will all be forgotten. Meh, they will either be increased, or still be the best damage soaking shields by quite a long shot. Of course, they will still have the disadvantage of prayer drain, at least div will. There used to be a great thread on the RSOF that proved mathematically that the divine's prayer drain is negligible. The only difference is a couple extra prayer potions (depending on what you're doing, of course). My guess is that Elysians will be severely affected and Divines will be pretty safe, UNLESS both shields gain further damage reduction, which is possible.

I'm quite familiar with dictionaries, thanks. The definition of grinding is static, but what someone considers to be grinding is not. Thus, what is or is not grinding is subjective.

Funny that this thread should pop up in the middle of our other discussion, no? Funny that other people talk here about "grinding", but you refuse to accept that they can have a valid opinion of it, no? :rolleyes: Quote that I said grinding doesn't exist. Rather, I stated that what is defined as grinding is user-relative, depending on a number of factors. Nor did I say that grinding was either bad, or boring. but grinding is not objective. its a definition. You mean 'subjective', and yes it is. I hate agility, but there are a lot of people who love it. What is grinding to me is not grinding to them. Bam, subjectivity.

I rarely grind. The only time I feel like I'm grinding is when I get really close to something that'll provide me with a lot of fun when I get it, like when I went from 89 to 95 prayer. The last few thousand bones seemed to go on forever, but only because I was so anxious to start using turmoil. Herblore is the same thing. I basically just "grind" for benefits.

When strangers are being douchebags its not hard to see how you can be mad, even if you don't personally know them. (I may be one of these douchebags but thats irrelevant here) I disagree. For example, I'm a 137 with near-maxed gear, and people flame me after every single game of FoG that I play. They call me a loser and no-lifer for using a steel titan, they call me a turmoil prod for using turm/soul split, they call me a rich RWT for using decent gear, etc. I beat top FOGers all the time and I always take my chat off private after games so I can see what they say in the lobby. I never said you were mad, just that there is a reason to be mad. If i run around calling every black person i see a... Well you get the idea, they obviously have a reason to be mad. I don't know them, they don't know me, and quite frankly we will probably never meet each other again outside that chance insulting confrontation. But they have every reason to be mad and i wouldn't fault them for it. Difference is that we're talking about Runescape. In Runescape you have the option of shutting your chat off, putting people on your ignore list, or laughing at the fact that they're trying to insult you over a computer. All of these things are effective deterrents to online bullying.

Tell me -- do you READ what other people say about this game, or do you merely run around playing "Me too" to Stonewall's "Big Dog", all day long? Do a search of "boring" on this forum. Look up "boring runescape" on google. Do a search of "boring" on the RSOF. Now, I'm not one to fly in the face of public opinion, but it's better to attempt to acknowledge the general consensus of the community, than to ignore its consequences. You may want to try and justify the game play any way you want, but I know a helluva lot of maxed out players and skillers who will likewise openly admit that the game play does get downright boring at times. Do you really want me to play arm-chair psychologist? It is a game that revolves around skills. There are only two skills (TWO) that involve competition: Hunting and Woodcutting. You can make any variety of money and buy just about any skill and equipment you need -- none of which requires you to compete to another player to obtain them. :rolleyes: I really hate to be the stuck-up elitist snob right now, but this doesn't even warrant a response. I really question whether or not you actually play Runescape. Seeing as how you haven't proven anything, I'd say we're done here. :) Oh, maybe not -- my arguments: 1. I have fun playing Runescape. When Runescape stops being fun, I stop playing -- the same applies to everything else in life. 2. Yes, I do want you to play arm-chair psychologist. If you can accuse him of something, presumably you can back your accusations up with proof. I'll be waiting. 3. Runescape is all about competition. Very few activities in Runescape are devoid of competition or are not related to competing against other players in some way. I literally cannot think of a single activity in Runescape that does not lend itself to competitive game-play in some way.

Excuse me, sir, can you please transfer at least half of your tokens to me? Oh and I like calling you Davey. It's a good name. I wanna play CHESS wit you son.

Can you prove that Runescape is inherently boring? Can you prove that Stonewall is trying to justify or compensate for anything? Can you prove that Runescape does not involve competition? I can prove all of these things to the contrary.

Chaotic staff. Use EEE for specs if you need to.

okay [hide][/hide] I see what you did there. Lol.

hesmadbro so mad
