War on Terrorisim.....Your Opinion?
I fail to see your point. Remeber how we defeated Japan? That's right, dropped a nuclear bomb on them. So you're saying that in retaliating to terrorists, we are following a predestined path set for America and that the end result should be nuclear as well? You know there's no way in hell that will ever work. Due to extremely stupid blunders in the Bush administration no one has a clue where Bin Laden is, the entire continent of Asia would have to be blown up and that would be apocalyptic. Assuming that you know this, what exactly was your point? Just because we were attacked and have retaliated in the past, we should have a War on Terror? sounds like a stupid reason to me.

What games do you wish you never bought?
Never really made a mistake in any of the games I have bought. But my little brother, he bought Lego Star Wars II for DS, and it's terrible, bad graphics, clunky controls, glitchy, etc. We then went and got the Gamecube version, and it's amazing, I highly recommend it. I myself own a few really bad games, but they are all gifts from people like my grandma who only know big names (i.e. movie-based games).

Harry Potter theme park to come to Universal Studies
Because the only reason that it's being made is for people besides J.K. Rowling to make money off her genius. I like Harry potter, and you can be assured that I will have the last book read before I go to bed the day it is released, but it is just plain overkill that people are trying to take advantage of great ideas and just use them selfishly to make money. As a writer myself who is one day hoping to sell big, I would not personally let anything like this happen to my ideas. On another note, but supporting the whole corporate corruption theme, ever heard of the Pendragon series by DJ MacHale? I personally think they are better than the Harry Potter books but there aren't even any film adaptations of them and the 8th installment was just published. Money-hungry business giants just want more money, and they turn to someone else's ideas that have been massively successful to accomplish their ends.

Harry Potter theme park to come to Universal Studies
I think it would be really cool to walk through the world of Harry Potter, I mean you would recognize places where certain events happened and everything and it would just be really neat. But then, that's not the reason why it's being built. It's just another corporate scheme to make mass money off of the biggest selling books in the modern day, and it really sucks that they do that because as people have shown here it puts people off Harry Potter. So as much as I think it would be cool, I really think it's a bad idea because it just ruins people's appreciation of the books when big shots try to make millions off sad parodies of them.

Ah! The maps are alive! (Live Maps) ~ 182+ Supporters!
Yes but what about if someone goes into Falador and dies, losing all their items? Imagen it: ZOMG, I'm gonna sue Jagex as I lost 25 blue Phats while merchanting in Falador when the Black knights attacked. Gimme my phats! I think the Kingdoms at war should be like minigames where you can come and go! Yea, I don't think it would be an agressive thing at all, but more of a join-a-side thing. Like a minigame, yet on the actual map. You could fight knights in the war without joining a side, but it's be like fighting a normal NPC and you wouldn't be rewarded by the opposite side for killing him as you may be if you had joined and benefited that side. Though I will take a quote from you ;) Offtopic: Wb Veltia :P Yeah, I was always imagining it as a minigame type event, you wouldn't have to fight if you didn't want too and the knights aren't aggressive. But even if they were, remember that it only happens in one world at a time and you don't have to be in that world :wink: If somone was dumb enough to go to the only world with a war going on with 25 phats... they deserve to lose them :shame:

Ah! The maps are alive! (Live Maps) ~ 182+ Supporters!
I really support the kingdoms at war part, I was going to make a suggestion similar myself but then I found this. Here's my take on the kingdoms at war. You know that supposed conflict between the white knights and the black knights? It never goes anywhere. They sit in their resective fortresses and do nothing. The Black Knight's Fortress quest can't really count as a conflict, because for some it has already happened, for others it hasn't yet happened, and some people are doing it right now. There is no sense of history there. So what I suggest is that an announcement be made on the main page that there is an upcoming battle between the black and white knights. It would happen at a different time in different worlds, so no one has to miss out on anything. And the entire thing hinges on player participation. For example, the black knights would march on Falador and begin battle, and players would have to jump in and help defend Falador or help attack it. The only way the battle would end is for some brave and ingeneous players to infiltrate the black knight's fortress and assassinate or take captive their leader, to force the knights to retreat. The battle would continue indefinitley until this is accomplished, and it wouldn't be really obvious that that is what needed to be done either. The players would have to figure it out. And of course, any damage done to the landscape during the battle would remain afterwards as well. For example, maybe the black knights busted out a super-awesome catapult and started pounding Falador's walls. Any holes made would be left there for a while, until they are fixed. Maybe players could help with this also, for some construction experience. Of course, the end result of the battle would of had to be premediated, so that we don't get different results in different worlds. And the brave players who ended the battle would get a mention, perhaps in the Varrock Library? Thank you for reading, and remember that is just a black vs. white knight conflict, and one at that. God War II, anyone? :shock: I support fully :thumbsup:

Stuff you dont want your Real Life freinds to know
I can't believe that was the first reply to this thread... Seriously, Boy Scouts is nothing to be ashamed of whatsoever. And this is coming from a guy who is in a troop with about 4 people that are suspected to be of... wrong sexual orientation... and another 2 maybe 3 that have serious mental problems. That aside, you're learning valuable skills that are going to help you later. Eagle Scout rank has tremendoud benefits. If any of your friends who would think less of you for being in the Boy Scouts were to join the army, for example, you could join too and be a rank higher than them from the start. Just because of your Eagle Scout rank. A scout of any rank is someone to be respected. Okay, that's off my chest. On topic, I don;t really have anything to hide from friends. And if I did, I wouldn't post it here.

Do you think pokemon is stupid?
I think how far they've taken Pokemon is ridiculous, I personally like the original Red, Blue, and Yellow and also Gold and Silver (and Crystal). To me the Gold and Silver was the peak of Pokemon, after that all the new ones and places have just completely destroyed the franchise. I never liked the TV series or card game... Now this thread has inspired me to go back to my prized Silver version and try to wrap it up... 248/252 \

??~~??Most Annoying P2P Quest??~~??
I am 8 quests short of having them all done, and 4 I can't do and the other 4 I'm just too lazy to do or got extremely frustrated. One of those 4 that I can do is Tai Bwo Wannai Trio. Man that quest is annoying. However, I vote Mourning's Ends II for the simple reason that it took an incredibly long time. Oh, and that stupid agility obstacle. I would get a full inventory of lobbies, walk all the way in there, fall 10 times, and tele out. Repeat. Then I finally make it across, and an hour later I have to go across it again! Torture. And for the people voting Rat Catchers, I didn't really find that one very hard. Actually pretty enjoyable, it's unique for a runescape quest. Same with Darkness of Hallowvale, that is one of my all-time favorite quests. It's just cool.

What's the story behind your RS name?
Well, there's this wonderful series of games called Fire Emblem, I'm sure some of you know about them. I had just gotten Fire Emblem 7, known in America as just Fire Emblem because it was the first one to be released here. There's this really awesome character in it and his name is Jaffar... and the highest level a character can reach in FE is 20, so I was set to name my character Jaffar20. But of course, it was taken. So I added a 0. Jaffar200 is my name.

Rune (t) or Rune (g)?
Well when I went back to f2p for a time, I bought Rune(t). I think it looks better, it's easier to look at and still looks pretty cool.
