Indeed. If we follow that line of thought, we conclude that Green has ascended to godhood.

Hey I heard there was this great new skill called summoning! Anyways, I think you should have posted this on the AoW.

Shame. Maybe one day you'll lose your Internet connection and you'll have nothing to do but write it lol. Hopefully you don't have a RS simulator :P.

Jebrim, are you planning on ever compiling your knowledge into a guide (or several, as the case will probably be)? It would be very useful stuff. Maybe only appreciated by a fraction of the RS community, but you don't seem to particularly enjoy associating with the rest anyway.

Everyone is microefficient to the extent they think about the inner workings of the game. Some naturally think quite deeply. Some don't really care because they're watching movies at the same time. I'm quite sure a significant minority knew about that particular example or similar ones. I'm also sure Jebrim has more sophisticated tricks he's not writing about because they'd take too long to explain.

Agreed. The effort/exp ratio is horrendous. But it's nearly a separate game in its own right. Closer to general problem solving than the grind RS usually is. I actually think it seems more fun than regular Runescape.

Thank you for that information Jebrim. Most interesting thing I've read on this thread in ages. It's evident you're playing RS on the meta-level (Not that it wasn't obvious before lol). No wonder most of RS doesn't appreciate what you're doing.

I remember people complaining about the miniclip kids. TBH I think the playerbase is more or less the same as it ever was, and it's just us growing older. With the possible exception of early RSC, when everyone knew everyone else (Or so they tell me, I wasn't around then).

Erm.. Wouldn't just killing Jad give you enough xp to get to lvl 5?

I'm still in the game, playing normally.

On the plus side, the countdown banner was very dramatic. Okay, why did they have a countdown banner if they weren't going to update on the dot?

It's time... We'll see what happens.

I want you to cover for him while he's away. Is no one here capable of contacting Langer? I miss his updates...

Another factor might be that Australians are simply willing to pay more than Americans are. A smaller userbase can mean a higher proportion of dedicated players.

2012 will be the year of THE AGEN! Mark my words

I apologize. I should have known better than to be facetious on a forum I don't often post in.

It's certain then. The strongest candidate has said he's not going for all 200mils. Now nothing will stop DRAGONSEANCE!!!!!1111oneone ;)

Also, if each brother has a 1% chance of dropping something, your chances of getting an item (or more) isn't 6*(1/100)=3/50, but rather 1 - (1 - 1/100)^6 = 5.86%.

Sudden rush of low post count people claiming absurdities! Deja vu?

I guess that's a new way to fail.. Is this guy straight from Classic?

I think you have most significant money sources/drains. The rest is just quibbling over tiny fractions that would be swamped by the uncertainty in the much larger sources/drains. The real question is how you're going to determine their magnitudes. I remember some Tip it Times articles on the total amount of gp a few years back. The method used was the same as this thread, but it was just a ballpark estimate, and Runescape has grown and diversified so much that a similar calculation would be a lot more difficult. Does anyone have any ideas on how to accurately estimate these numbers?

Justified or not, it was a retarded move from both a PR perspective and a legal perspective. From this incident and the MMG post, I conclude that my previous "Jagex is incompetent XOR malicious" is a false dichotomy.

So MMG leaves us with two scenarios we can believe in.. 1. He's telling the truth and Jagex actually cares about the future of the game as opposed to short term profits. Jagex is grossly incompetent at predicting the future. A significant number of people (including on these forums) told them that exactly this would happen, but they went on with it. Also, their super bot-detecting systems didn't work. Jagex is grossly incompetent at detecting/removing bots. No elaboration required. Jagex is grossly incompetent at deciding where to spend their money. If they're "spending a fortune" on combating RWT, the results tell me they're doing something very wrong. Jagex is grossly incompetent at consistency. "We hate bots" and permabans are consistent. "We hate bots" is not consistent with "We'll punish a negligible number of bots, and then give them temp bans with some stats rolled back so they can be botted back up". Jagex is grossly incompetent at PR. The existence of this thread attests to this. 2. He's lying through his teeth. Short-term profits are now the priority. They are acting according to the shareholders' wishes (as any company does). Apparently, it's working.

Does he keep track of records? XX perfect laps in a row at YY course?

Not doing the quests I really should I'll get round to doing Prince Ali rescue and the Hero's quest someday.. I hope
