You're from australia? But it's 3:30 in the afternoon. The aussies don't show up for hours yet. >.>

Where did you come from Range?

*pulls hand away from 321's pocket* Distract you? What?

Hey look guys! Explosions!

Oh, you know.

I feel left out. >.>

:arrow:

Do it. I dare ya.

Yeah, I went somewhere with that "this is why efficiency people troll more often" thing, but I lost it while I was writing. :3 I have one more thing to say. I didn't realize it when I posted, but the fact that people are taking down their guides when they leave is dumb. Why do you feel the need to deprive the community of that? All you're doing is hurting people who have most likely done nothing to you, because the efficiency crowd either already knows it or is going with you, and the fun crowd has decided not to care about you. So it's just the newbs that are left. Honestly, that's very annoying. And before you make the argument that they'll be outdated - so what? So's Kent's summoning guide, but it's still useful. So's the zombie monkey training guide, but it's still very fast melee training. If you aren't going to update your guides, just write that you aren't at the top and leave them up. Maybe link to the more updated version on your break off forum.

So wait, how do you win this? Is it just survive, or do you have to actively try to take people out? Because what I'd say for strategies is to just avoid being able to be shot until the last few are left and then take them out stealthily. But if you have to take people out that wouldn't work.

I'M NOT GAY! GHRAREAHSDOIHGSOADIGHASLKFHASDIOFUASOIRU! I'M GOING TO [bleep]ING KILL YOU PSYCHO!

Trolling? Who's trolling.

Newb.

Huh. Regardless, you are not , therefore you can't ban me.

If you were going to do so, you would have not asked first. So no. I give no one the power to ban me except .

HEY! GUESS WHAT! You're all going to die next month! And there's nothing you can do about it!

Been a while since I posted in a runescape board. Huh. I have three things to say. Both mostly about the mods. But first, I have to say I only have a vague idea of what happened. First thing to say is this: if I had been around when this happened, I would have been on the efficiency people's side. I know this because I remember a particular person from a few years ago. A couple people really, but I want to focus on one person. Compfreak, who I'm sure a few of you remember, was a very efficiency oriented person. He made this huge post about why the fighter torso was worse than an adamant chain, even if you already had it. If you can't remember, or if you weren't there, he ended up leaving TIF (just for Zybez, not for a whole new forum) because he felt like he was going to be banned. He had a lot of action taken against him, i.e. posts deleted or edited with little explanation, that he felt was unwarranted. I don't think he was ever described as "elitist," or if he was, not as vehemently as some of those banned, but his story seems fairly similiar. Basically what I'm saying is that the efficiency community tends to troll a little more. Again, I was 100% part of that group. And I do troll. All the time. The admins will attest to that. I get away with it because I'm careful about who I troll; as a forum gamer, I pretty much only talk to that group of people who are also forum gamers. So no one reports me or anything. No one cares. But when you post where someone can be offended, it's different. That's when the mods start to care. So it's best not to troll. Especially in the most public section of the forum. I don't feel it, as I don't visit the RS boards ever, but I'm pretty sure this section still gets more traffic than the General Discussion boards. And it gets more traffic from new people, rather than being mostly older people. I know that most of the efficiency community doesn't troll, or at least not purposely. This is the second thing. I'm pretty sure the mods are a little more vigilant towards the efficiency community, because it's been more of a problem in the past. And in a way, I feel that's right. It doesn't mean you should turn a blind eye to other trolling, but...well, it's like car insurance. I'm 17. I get charged more for car insurance. I can't do anything about that. It's just how it is. My age is not as good at driving as those older than me. They're more experienced. But State Farm doesn't just ignore the fact that some 50 year old has gotten in 4 wrecks that totaled his car in the past month. They charge him more than those around him, even though his base is lower. It's similar with the two thought styles on playing. The people who are playing for fun are more relaxed; they aren't here to be the best, they just want to have fun. The efficient path is almost always more hectic. It takes more work to be efficient than to have fun. So the efficient people have more focus on the game. They troll more. (Ok, yeah, I probably could have connected that better. Whatever.) The mods can "charge" more for the efficiency people by watching them closer, but the fun guy who trolls still gets watched more than his fellow fun people. The third thing I have to say involves the comment about a thread with no rules for people to troll in. I have some experience with that. In fact, there's a thread on TIF that's basically that. Or at least it was. It got steadily worse and worse, breaking just a few more rules. Our that was that no one visited the thread except the regulars anyway, and when new people showed up, we basically focused on them, and didn't do any of our rule shenanigans. The admins eventually came in and cracked down. Basically what they said was this. We would do something wrong. A mod would say, "Don't do that" and we'd stop. Until the mod left. Then we'd just keep posting like before. And the admins were right. Now if the proposed threads were made, it would be ok to do that, because there would be no rules, right? It would work, except for the fact that it would do two things. It would first steal a lot of the posting from the other threads. As of today, forum games lost one of the last posters in the threads outside Last One to Post Wins, because no one posted outside that thread. That thread has basically killed off forum games. I don't feel bad; that thread has become everything the other threads were for me. But it did that. The other thing that those threads would do is that they would spill into the other threads. For about a year, I only posted in Last One to Post Wins. I made about 2 posts that I can really remember that weren't in that thread. Each time, my post was the one that started a spam session in whatever thread I posted in. I posted in the April Fool's Day thread last year, and suddenly there were posts galore about stealing the cheese out of my pants. I posted in the Today thread in OT as they were approaching page 1000, and suddenly there's 5 pages of spam from 3 forum gamers that got deleted. Both times I came away unscathed because I didn't participate, but my mere presence started things. It would be the same. So yeah. If stuff here didn't make sense, it's 1 o'clock in the morning. That's why.

I do want to say, however, that you never gave this thread a chance. :3

Like, I'm not trying to drive you away or anything blaze. But honestly, if you're bored with forum games, it's probably easier if you go. There's lost of other forums with this same section. The same threads. Just a different community. Most of us lost interest a while ago. That's what happened.

Nah Blaze. Forum Games died a long time ago.

That's a strange choice of parts. IMO you will get much better value for money if you go with a sandy bridge build. i5 2500s are the same price as i5 760 here, I assume it would be similar wherever you are. Then you could save some money by avoiding the 'specially designed' 1155/1156 ram and sticking to 1333 which will give the same performance, so then you can afford a decent graphics card. Just my 2c anyway. The special RAM thing is just marketing [cabbage], any pair of DDR3 sticks will work on a SB build. But I do agree, if you can get the 2500k for the same price it's a better option. You'll also get a lot more out of a 550 for about 20 more, but if you can't order from newegg, the 450 can handle most games at reduced settings. Not that this is entirely on this topic, but is there a website that sells computer parts? I know nothing of names or numbers, but I figure I may as well look at prices for parts. Today... was boring. Went to work. That's about it <_< Newegg is the generally accepted place to get computer parts.

If we manage to listen to that whole thing, do we get paid? And Jafjeh, I think he knows. No. You get payed if you listen to the hour version. Maybe.

No one cares ever Jimmy.

Discussin' anime huh? I wonder where 321 is.

Went to bed at 12 last night. Just woke up 15 minutes ago. Almost 12 hours of sleep. Feels good man.
