PolarBearBlue commented on PolarBearBlue's blog entry in The Adventures of the Captain of the Naabe BrigadeI barely have 270k. Plus I like FOG enough to play to 650. I'm cheap.

5+ Years Absent and I May of Caved In...
Welcome back. And yeah, I got hacked too. It sucks when you leave, come back to play and everything is gone. They even changed my password... But I hope you have fun and get your money (and mask) back.

Time to go into overdrive
In real life... Outcomes for the Midterm [hide=]Statistics on the Distribution of Scores on the Midterm Statistic Score on Midterm [out of 90] Mean 72.0 Median 74.5 Standard Deviation 10.2 Maximum 86 90th Percentile 83 75th Percentile 80 25th Percentile 65 10th Percentile 57 Tentative Grades Based Solely on the Midterm Score Grade >= 80 As 68 79 Bs 55 67 Cs < 55 lesser grades[/hide] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! So this Monday I had a Money and Banking midterm. I was pretty sure I did really good. But then I checked my grades and test statistics this morning and found I have a tentative B in the class. This is not good. I made my work load light so I could bust out As this quarter, a finally get a 4.0 quarter GPA. But with this B staring me in the face I have to ace my final to get an A-. How did I let this happen?! I had been paying attention in class. We reviewed with our TA and I knew 90% of the stuff we reviewed. And since this class is actually interesting to me, I honestly felt like I was learning, and thus I didn't need to do heavy studying for the midterm. I must have not studied enough. I should have spent more than 2 days studying. Hmm... or maybe it was that last chapter I didn't study well enough. Some of the multiple choice question did throw me off. I kept getting confused about moral hazard and adverse selection. So I know I probably got 3 out of the 30 multiple choice question wrong. Or more... While I'm happy I'm passing, I have to now go in to overdrive mode. I need that A-. My GPA depends on it. My life depends on it! Damnit! It's enough Macroeconomics is boring, but now I have to study 10x for Money and Banking. Well, at least I like this class. In Runescape... [hide=][/hide] FOG went a little better today. I developed a tactic to help me get more charges and last longer thanks to the FOG guild in the AOW. However, it's really starting to bug me when my opponents quit on me. 1669 to 0 charges doesn't mean I'm awesome. It means my opponent got upset and bailed after calling me all types of names (noob would have been a complement). Actually, I guess that does make me better. But still, the games aren't fun anymore if you quit! Stop quitting. Man (or woman) up and play the damn game and try. [hide=][/hide] In other news I got 64 runecrafting before my computer decided to lag on me. Pity. And I was get 30 - 39, maybe 40 FPS since the new update (45 - 50 on lightly populated places in Runespan and 50 anywhere else not FOG, GOP, or the likes). Now I can only turn out 1 - 9 FPS, with 9 being lucky. Guess that means it's time to rest.

I'm gonna sound like an idiot when I post this. But can you guys explain how you are able to tell what your FPS is?

Practice makes perfect. And Frederick Douglass.
In Runescape... [hide=] [/hide] Today I was suppose to get swordfish glove after getting those levels and fish until I caught 1000 swordfish. But the problem was, I never really had the tokens to actually buy the gloves. So my plan was to play enough FOG rounds to buy them. Now, I'm no FOG MVP, but I win most of my games, if not for my FOG, then for my combat skills. But today I got really frustrated. In short, I probably played 7 or 8 matches, and lost 3 of them. 2 because my opponent was better, and one because I got kicked out and it got flagged as a forfeiture. And of the games I did win, it was by a margin of 1120 to 720 charges, or something similar. I hardly got above 1200 charges, and I felt as if my skill level suck. At 52 magic I could hardly hybrid and had to hope my bind kept them still long enough to attack. So needless to say, I didn't get my gloves. I got 100 more tokens to go. Which mean it's gonna be long way until I get a rune berserker shield. So I'm taking a break from combat. I'll be doing 10 FOG match each time I start my journey and if I do well, I should earn at least 50 tokens. That way when I do get everything I want, I'll have a reserve of tokens to fall back on. And I'll use this time to train magic. Hybrid, here I come. But for now, I do have a FOG shopping list of things I'd like to get. 750 tokens total. I got a long way to go. Swordfish Gloves D'hide Coif Rune Berserker Shield Rune Gauntlets So until I get 200 token for the fishing gloves, I'm gonna runecraft. I actually did do some runecrafting today. When Runespan first opened up I flocked to the site and went for lvl 39 to 50 in a breeze. It was so easy. Today I got 13 more lvls and made it to 63. [hide=][/hide] I took to the second biggest island I could access on the middle floor, and I basically camped. Most of the time I wasn't paying too much attention; sort of, by reading Frederick Douglass slave narrative. Who knew the general store in Runescape actually sold these books? Other times I was alert I was racing with a clan member to see who can get lvls faster. I am proud to say I am ahead of him. I also got pulled in by 2 random events. While they are nice I really wanted to see the Demon Drill Sargent again. I thought I had a good chance too, since everyone else was getting a visit from him. Instead, I got pull in by the quiz master, and was thrown into Evil Bob's jail. [hide=][/hide] When I finally hit 63, I decided I would retire for the night. All that hard work wears you out. But before that, I went to the Runecrafting Guild and played 3 rounds in GOP. Tokens are much easier to get here, even when you lose! So I'll likely buy blue Runecrafting robes after obtaining 4000 tokens. And I already have 1075! In real life... I read half of the FD slave narrative I am suppose to be reading in class. I'll likely finish the rest tomorrow after class or Karate, or by Monday. It's actually short compared to others so it shouldn't take me long. And it's not a bad read. I reads better than some and is a bit entertaining. Okay, that's the wrong word to use. Um...educational. Yeah, educational. It's very different from Harriet Jacobs "Incidents in the Life of a Slave Girl". I just hope I read enough tonight for the class discussion tomorrow. I hat reading and I'm kinda lazy... However, I will decrease my playing time since I have a midterm next Thursday. In Macroeconomics... Woe is me...

Battlerifel's P2P Blog! Members Stuff! 2400+ Total
Thanks! It's actually fun to get a new way to train! I entirely understand where you are coming from! :grin: Honestly, I trained a lot just by playing Fist of Guthix games. When I was much lower Magic level, I would kill a bunch of Lesser Demons for melee exp and then use the Death, Chaos, and Fire runes I got from them to train. I'd just use an air staff then. Mymost recent levels have come from High Alching certain things that I can make a very small profit on. (Think less than 10 gp haha) Also I've done a lot of Superheating for my Smithing levels, so Magic went up some with that. Well I did good last night! And into today! And hopefully continuing on tonight as well! Level 58 Runecrafting!!!!! W00t!!!!! no pic... Level 59 Runecrafting!!!!! W00t!!!!! no pic... Level 60 Rnecrafting!!!!! W00t!!!!! I think I'll stay until at least level 65 Runecrafting. If not, then it's back to Dungeoneering I guess! Please Post!!!!! FOG... I love and hate it. I love it for the fun and rewards and I'm not too bad at it, but I hate it because those damn super ranger and mage kick my ass. Plus it's sooo hard to get tokens even when you win. Oh well, since I need 650 for the d'hide coif, rune bshield, and swordfish gloves this would be the perfect time to do mage before going back to combat... Good job on the 60 RC. I made 60 too, but now it starting to become a little grind. Keep it up dude.

Current levels and current goal. And not paying attention in class.
PolarBearBlue commented on PolarBearBlue's blog entry in The Adventures of the Captain of the Naabe Brigade1) macroeconomics itself is interesting to a degree. But my professors class is not 2) Thanks. I think it looks good too. I love wearing it. 3) I know. Runespan is indeed awesome. That's how I got my 50 in RC now.

PolarBearBlue commented on PolarBearBlue's blog entry in The Adventures of the Captain of the Naabe BrigadeThanks. It still gets to me sometimes but I'm just happy to have had great-grandmother in my life. As for the hi-scores, I'm a bit sad. I used to be boss. But that was 3 years ago. Times have changed. I got clan members riding up my combat lvl tail only after playing for a year. One guy even asked "Wait, demon ash didn't used to count for prayer? How old is your account?!"

Re-introducting myself!
I failed the first time, because I really did a poor job of keeping stuff organized. So I got mad and started a new one. Got a taste of members and was like "Holy sh*t". But I could not deal with getting to lvl 69 fishing again, or any of my past lvls. So I tried to get my account back and got it. The hackers cleaned me out. But it's okay. With the stock marke-- er, GE they way it is, I can make gp. By the way, I love you siggy. And I used to follow your blog before college took over.

Current levels and current goal. And not paying attention in class.
I'm suppose to be playing attention in my Intermediate Macroeconomics class. But, it's whack. Like really. I mean, had I read the chapter before hand, I might know what's going on. So it's of no ones fault but my own. But this guy is pretty boring to me. And his notes are like 20 years old. They aren't even formatted well in the Word documents he's writing them in. But lucky for me, the class isn't intellectually hard. All I have to do is read the chapter and review his notes again to do the homework. And as long as I study, I'll do fine. But seriously. This class sucks. In any event, here's the stats I promised you guys. As you can see, not impressive. But since I don't have to go to 40+ wilderness to fight Greater Demons anymore, I plan on starting with combat. I'll try for 99 Defense first. Oh and I almost got 72 Constitution (?), so I'll get Combat lvl 88 after 72 Defense. However, because I insist on gathering my own food, it's likely I'll hit a higher fishing and cooking before then. I have about 200 lobsters left so I'll train combat until they are gone, then head over to FoG to get swordfish gloves. I should probably get a shield to. But it's the wilderness. I'm honestly to scared to bring anything else too valuable. I have an irrational fear of the wilderness.

Re-introducting myself!
Yo! I'm Polarbearblu. I was semi-retired player who only came on during the holiday's after 2009. Then I got some renewed sense and desire to play after I tried to log in and couldn't. I did after 2 attempt and found my account was hack. But it's whatever. Right now, I'm suppose to be playing attention in class but meh... So hi everybody!

Introduction
A long, long, long...time ago, I was a young, hip, and happen Runescape player with a dream. 99 in all F2P skill. Now, I'm college student praying when I graduate I'll get a job. It's been a while since I've came here to blog. I've been semi-retired for about 3 years, only really ever logging in for the holiday events. And man, has RS changed. And so has my life too. But I've come back with a renewed interest in the game and I feel like blogging about it. So, I'll re introduce myself. I'm Meghan. A 21 year old college student living in Chicago but studying Economics in Ohio. I probably have one life goal, and that's to live better than I already do. So for now I'm hoping to graduate within the next year and a half, get a job, and move out of the crap hole my family and I are forced to call a home. But enough about that. In Runescape I'm a 7 years old lvl 87 mostly combat player who love participating holiday events because I love the costumes. I like to skill with the purpose of getting a random event for more costumes and fun emotes and stuff (oh and for get to 99). There isn't much about me really. I play video games, hang with friends, etc. But I'm gonna run down a list a major (or semi-major) life/RS event incase you peeps still remember me and was like "What, were did she go?" Life - Got into college, college started kicking my butt. Started off as an engineering student, but changed my major to Economics at the beginning of this year. - Lost a family member recently to cancer - Got robbed. They took two TVs and about $1000 worth of other stuff. So now my moms looking into moving by the summer or before I go back to school in August. And things may be looking good. I really hope so. Runescape - I am no longer on the hi-score. And everybody and their momma is getting skill/completion capes. Like WTF! - My account got hack and they cleaned me dry. But it's as much as my fault this happened. - Got some lvls with update and such. And I ended up joining a Rev hunting clan. So, this blog is pretty much the same. Well no. I'm really just gonna be blogging about stuff I do in RS and how awesome (or not) my life is. I'm still trying to get to 99 in F2P, but it's likely at one point I'll become a member for a little while. Still, that doesn't mean this blog is gonna be dry and stuff. I'll be having fun, posting rants, and doing crazy stuff. Hmm... I'm thinking I might even start a RS Flash mob. Any who, I'm about to get ready for class. But I'll upload my current lvl and stuff later on.

On being a total badass in his work life, and less of one in Runescape.
I sense the awesome is strong in this one...

I agree. Runespan has updated a skill that was in dire need of it. I sat at 39 runecrafting for 4ish years before really considering training it to play GoP. Then Runespan came and I hit 50 in the first hour I was playing. And it's semi-AFK character makes it easy for me, since college demands some attention from me too. One last question thou, do you suggest training magic in Daemonheim since it's a self contained..."world" that actually allows you to craft chaos runes? Or should you just just cough up the money to train. I'm sitting at 52 magic and I'm trying to get people's opinion.

30-4-2012 The RuneSpan
A Distraction and Diversion that appears randomly in the Runespan, basically the Runespan equivalent of a shooting star. Players can team up to work through its many layers to finally get to the center for XP rewards. Just like you get stardust from stars, you get rune dust from rune spheres which you can trade in later for XP (10xp per dust). So is it safe to assume it's a members only D&D?

I think peeps were asking for this so... http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n95/Polarbearblue/?action=view¤t=RC1.png http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n95/Polarbearblue/?action=view¤t=RC2.png http://s110.photobucket.com/albums/n95/Polarbearblue/?action=view¤t=RC3.png Only members can buy this stuff. On another note, does anyone get randomly logged out of RS while in Runespan? Maybe my computer isn't hardcore enough to stand it.

Very nice. Thou I imagine Dungeoneering on F2P is painful after 50.

O_O! A) I'm jealous you live in such a beautiful place. B) These pictures are very nice C) What camera do you use?

level 30 been playing the game for 14 days
You are never too late to start playing. With that said, I don't know much about clans, but like the guy said before me feel free to add me, and I'll help anyway I can. I don't play as often as I used to, but I got 7 years on me.

Where is Dororan house?
Thanks. I feel really stupid not looking there. But now I know.

Where is Dororan house?
Basically the topic title. I lost my shoes and would like another pair. But I can't seem to find him. I looked west of Varrock, and I'm sure I'm over looking, but I can find his house. Can anyone give me a better location, like what his house is near by (air altar, etc). Thanks.

Marvel = RIP?
True. But Disney is lazy. They aren't going to get in the way of Marvel's movies a lot since they now are making film and have these idea with films we want to see. That is my opinion in the matter as well. I already said Disney probably just wants the profits. But you can never be too certain. Disney wants to be a monopoly. This is a guide/model that help you become one.

I got 70 in all my combat skills. So I'm moving on to mining. But because i still have food in my bank, I'm going to train up strength until I run out. I'm also putting the goal siggys here just so I don't have to do it again. I might move them to them later. Strength 80: 90: Attack 80: 90: Defense 80: 90: Hitpoint 80: 90:
