That was mighty awesome of Oreo :shock:...sometime fate throws a curve ball your way when you least expect it. I've had similar losses when testing the sinister forces that doom afking. You're playing Russian Roulette each passing minute of your lack of attention :XD:. Still very sorry to hear about your loss. Its the achievements that really count; not the wealth, items, or clothing.

Once I dreamed that the whole world was frozen around me. Every single living thing was still and silent. I was able to walk, talk, and do anything else I could normally do. I could not figure out why I was not seeing anything moving. I walked miles and miles looking at frozen cars, joggers stuck in place, migrating birds remaining in the same point of sky, etc. I finally stopped in front of one of the frozen people. I tried to touch them and they immediately shattered before me. I got extremely freaked out and started bumping into many people. All of them kept shattering into glass shards and I started crying. I finally saw my mom and dad, I really felt like I needed comfort. When I ran to hug them they shattered as well. When that happened I woke up, jolted upright, and violently kicked my cat by accident (she was sleeping next to my feet). It was a short but incredibly strange dream :-k...

The carefree adventurer fished with glee and all seemed to be at peace with the world...until fate had its cruel way with the boy. Before him poofed a lady in a flowing pink dress, grasping a baguette in her hand, along with many other breaded assortments on a tray. The boy with dumbfounded expression listened closely to the lady's mysterious question. She asked: "Would you like a square sandwich dear adventurer?" The hapless lad was overjoyed at her kind offer since all that fishing was starting to make him grow an appetite. He looked at her tray and finally had a scary realisation. The tray contained sandwiches that all looked alike! Feeling rather nervous and starting to sweat profusely he picked one off the tray. The mysterious sandwich tray bearing woman exclaimed: "I didn't say you could have that!" And struck the poor adventure on the head with her baguette of doom. After a short period of blacking out, the boy regained conciousness and noticed he had teleported to a new more mysterious place...

I find that obnoxious and real misuse of the system there :-k... I was never reported before this quirky story took place... it was just the other day when I was pking with my friends. We were walking around in level 26 wildy and we are not the type to stay silent. We were jokingly yelling around various phrases. I typed in flashing red letters "------>Eat at Joe's<------." A pker comes running towards me and before attacking says "Reported." I asked why and their explanation was "You're not allowed to advertise, noob." My friends blasted him away with mage spells before I was able to begin my pk; they hate obnoxious people :lol:...

Lvl 81 Mining ACHIEVED!!! Achieving Level 81 Mining Screenshot After an 81k xp marathon of swinging my pickaxe to and fro, I have achieved yet another level...81! Its now the time that I lay down my pickaxe and start pulling my bowstring. Upping my level to 40 ranged (for dhide armor), is a necessity right now if I'm going to plan more practice rune mining runs. Many friends have graciously offered their help, so you may see one or two pop up in the pictures of my next trip. I'm going to pour over a few more rune mining guides and see how I can improve my chances. I really appreciate those of you have chimed in and given your recommendations. I've posted a new bank pic, as you can see there are some losses but some gains as well. Got to sell off some of my bars to give myself a bit more insurance for rune mining practice.

7/10 I don't mind the white heart and the purple film strip :...but your other sigs are definitely even more superb.

Congrats on 79 mining, woohoo =D>! There is a very good chance that you might overtake me... Go for the great 8-0 my friend!

Hello all, I was a bit on the sluggish side today and only mustered a 44k xp gain. Not exactly the amount I wanted but at least its still progress. I have developed a new system for my Rimmy mining after looking over some mining maps. There is an ever so convienient general store just 15 seconds away (by running). I actually went wildy pking as a break today with a friend who had not logged on for ages. I actually triumphed in 4 pks :D...but lost the last five (lost a chunk of change to lobs due to that). Going to stockpile ores for the rest of the day to make spare steel wildy sets for my pk breaks with my friend. Anyways, once I hit level 81 mining, I'm planning to train up range to 40 for dhides and try another mock rune run. I will take the advice of you smart posters when it comes to the next mock trip and follow it to a t. I might die more horrible deaths but at least with some more experience on my side this time.

Thanks for the touching words there Shahdie! Sorry we're all apart are we? Hmm Me Confused! :uhh: Forgot to space out words there heh...but my point is basically we derive from the same race of beings. Its due to social stupidity that we choose to seperate ourselves from one another. yes yes we all have the right to express ourselves blah de blah, guess what, I have the right to tell somebody they're an [wagon] if they irritate me. I could give the slightest about social groupings, but if somebody comes in to my place of work and decides to be grumpy, moody and ill mannered (3 things In my experience occur in "emos") then I'm damned if i'm going to help them out - I won't even give people their change until they say thank you. Too right too right!! Exactly what I was thinking. Lady Shahdie unfortunately we don't live in a world full of pink fairies and we need tor realise in reality that its the case. I guess you have lost the concept of what being humane to each other really means. We do not need pink fairies to act mature and not stereotype now do we? I hate this whole cynical approach to things. The reason why our world is so stereotypical is the fact that we accept it (just as you did in your post). Sorry man, but I rather vouch for a better world than let my expectations of our race fall so low =;...

I'd love to train with you...just don't have p2p access is all. If you ever visit f2p worlds and locations, I have no problem dropping by to train with you or keep you motivated. You got to remember that there is no time limit for this goal. It is an arduous journey for those who have a life and other commitments besides RuneScape. Just keep at it at a steady pace, one powermining session at a time. Do not neglect real life engagements just to achieve this goal faster. I personally take the weekends off and devoid myself from RuneScape time. Stay strong buddy, you will make it!

My, my its a small world :lol:! Yes I'd love to be of help...

I'm actually sick of stereotypes. I do not believe in labelling people emo, goth, preppy, nerd, jock, or whatever other nonsense grouping society has come up with. Someone who is depressed, is depressed for many other reasons; not for being apart of an imaginary group. Maybe that person has suffered trauma, lost someone close, has been physically/emotionally abused, etc. I do not label someone emo for being depressed, being dramatic, wearing a certain style of clothing, etc. Really people in this thread need to grow up and quit the stereotypes. All of us are vastly different individuals. Sneering at each other only makes me lose hope in the human race (which we all are part of by the way). Because honestly, we all have those moments of feeling like we do not belong... So we all sadly resort to seperating ourselves farther and farther way from each other. Again let me repeat, we all are part of the human race.

Purchasing an anti-dragon shield for 10k...please no one sympathize about this, I was not scammed, I offered that amount :lol:! Ah the newbie days, so idyllic...

Ah another day of powermining passes and draws to a close. It was quite a productive day, I gained around 70k mining xp, was aiming for 100k but fatigue got the best of me. I actually ventured into the Chasm Mine today or what others know as the infamous Scorpion Pits (hears the sighs of relief from countless fellow powerminers). I already miss my beloved Rimmington :XD: (hears the shocked gasps from countless fellow powerminers)...the day was as follows: Unlike the quiet seclude of Rimmington, the Pits are a chatter and buzz of activity. The desert winds carry the echos of "free rune pic plzzzzz," "mining lvl???," and "someone save me from the scorps!!!" The only good news was that my eyes were relieved of a day without having to follow my little 3d sprite back and forth on the screen. Unfortunately after 30 minutes I resorted to turning Public Chat off. This was due to a few unpleasant conversations. Many of couse being the colorful exchanges with the local beggars but the worst being with the non-believers, the haters, and the just plain jealous. The non-believers were those who scoffed at my level, which I just tell them to easily check hiscores (immediately after checking they give the ever original "my main has 99 ____"). The haters were those who would yell "noob go mine addy," which some could actually mine it themselves already. Lastly, the just plain jealous were those who were any where from one combat level higher than me to twenty, angered by the fact that a lower level than themselves possessed somewhat of a better mining than they did. Competition wise the atmosphere between powerminers was magnified by the popularity of the spot (meaning that very few would understand the world was taken but many would rudely barge in and cause themselves and myself to barely gain any xp with the 30-50% success rate at gaining a rock). All in all I think I still will spend most of my powermining sessions at Rimmington. Not only is there a nice tranquility and emptyness about the spot but I seem to have a grown a liking to the place. For those of you who are regular Pit miners, you have my absolute respect for your patience and integrity! Though I'm rather on the patient side, I have a fear of being easily irritated with the tension of the Pits. I rather be at my best "Lady Shahdie" at all times :thumbsup:...

Free bump for a fellow crazed miner :...

Well the story behind my name goes back to my Persian roots. I usually am on the brighter side and start my day with a smile... so I tried to think of a Persian name or word that reflects that. After researching many different names that were both Persian and meant something to do with happiness, I fond Shahdie (which literally meant happiness). Since Rs was a game with knights, chivalry, and fair damsels; I added on the title Lady to make it a little closer to the Arthurian feel of the game. So hence the creation of the name Lady Shahdie (Lady Happiness).

Hey all, back again. No real xp gains since yesterday due to the 4th of July holidays. Instead I spent time with my family and watched some of the local fireworks from our backyard on the hill :. The only update I have to bring to your viewing eyes is this rather controversial new mining update Jagex has implemented. Below is the new mining animation (or what some refer to as the new zombie mining): Lady Shahdie Swinging the Old Pickaxe What was once clean solid strokes are now realistic heavy swings. Though this brings some realism to the mining skill, the animation is a bit on the odd side and causes some technical concerns. Many miners have noted that the animation seems to slow down mining "easy" rocks (such as iron) but is relatively the same for "harder" rocks (such as mith/addy/rune). I cannot say I am extremely happy with this update nor do I enjoy it much, however; it has not seem to terribly affect my powermining. The day in which I achieved level 80 mining was the first day this update was being implemented. It will still take some getting used to and it may even slow down things...but as always, I look at it as just more difficulty added to this exciting challenge :)! 3:22 PM PST Edit: Just hit the 2 Mill mining xp mark! Yay...

Well seems you have plenty of goals to keep you occupied at the moment! Wish you lots of luck. I will try to donate some of my patience to you when it comes to mining :P... *donates 1 mill notes of patience* That should help for now :thumbsup:.

Thanks everybody for the congrats, glad you all found my blog somewhat interesting to read :. I would love to meet any of you in-game sometime! As far as membership ickdeep, if you read the section "Lady Shahdie on RuneScape" in the first introductory post, it explains why. Maybe by the time I achieve 99 I'll be able to obtain it :thumbsup:...and if not, the dream and the accomplishment is what matters to me more.

I am not too fond of this animation either :?...I Had a Deal interestingly broke it down in milliseconds that do exhibit the potential for much longer powermining sessions. I powermined 94k xp today on my way to 80 mining. I did not see a major difference in my xp gain. I spent 3 and a half hours to gain the xp. Before this graphic update xp gains for iron powermining were 30k and up. So ultimately it may have taken me 10-30 minutes longer (considering that the remaining 4k is easy to powermine in a few minutes). Now I do not know if most of the extra time was due to the animation or me mining slower due to the fatigue (which the latter is usually true because by hour 2 I may powermine 26-28k). But I can certainly notice the visible difference, where as before I gained the iron instantly in one clean stroke...I now gain it after a 0.6 second chisel (as I Had a Deal clocked it).

/\ Is finally inconsistent (didn't say inferior scum on final post :P)... < Is somewhat dumbfounded as to where the previous /\ < \/ were going :-s... \/ Is not inferior scum :thumbsup:...

Smart thinking! Bodyguards would certainly help in the wildy. This was just a mock run to gain some experience. Thank you very much for your kind offer to help me on such trips! I certainly would be very obliged :thumbsup:!

Support 100%! This would be an extremely smart update and it would be very kind of Jagex to implement it for us Rs skillers! How I would love not having to endlessly switch back and forth between my inventory & stat screen during powerminining sessions...
