War Survey...
17 male 1) Do you think video games affect peoples opinion on war?--no, maybe someone that is mentally irregular but not a normal person 2) If your country was attacked, would it make you join the army?--depends on how bad it was, I wouldnt join if Arizona was attacked by a mexican cartel army, if we went to a full scale war then I would eventually join 3) Do you think there will be a World War 3 in your lifetime?--undecided, but I know what world war 4 will be fought with 4) What do you think you could do to prevent war?--on a personal level not that much, move to legalize marijuana would be a move against american mexican border conflict so I guess my answer is make laws that can curb conflict without sacrificing morality. 5) What do you think is the major cause of wars?--greed in varying forms. hope im helpful

PMods - Purpose or Status?
Ive officially decided we are just going to disagree for all eternity lol btw, I was just joking about the amount of quotes on this page just a few things to respond to before I try to redirect this id say darn because I wouldnt really care but there would be that brief flicker of disappointment, its pretty human to have some thought of annoyance if you lose something. If I was that self interested Id go on a twenty hour f bomb spree. There are more mods like this then you think, in fact jagex instructs all mods to use discretion before reporting such as tell someone to stop spamming if its nothing vial etc. Self important speech is a little subjective, but I advise just not letting yourself be bothered I mean its just a person talking on a game. Personally, I try not to report people for anything that isnt bad(I really dont care if someone says suck, and ive never reported someone for saying their age for instance) but Im probably more liberal with reporting then you approve of. oh and, while I cant personally be sure I strongly suspect jagex has some safeguards to prevent modship for report hunting. This system seems to need some added rigor, but I doubt anyone has gotten modship for reporting people that said what country they lived in. since were starting to go in circles just a thought for discussion. what potential would a toggle crown have as an update? It would seem that if a mod could turn off/on his crown it woudl avoid two problems a. a mod that doesnt want to answer questions could talk without being pointed out as a player b. someone claiming to be a mod would instantly have a group of players demanding to see the crown, which would kill that scam pretty quickly Id continue the discussion from before, but lets be honest. We are just going to play back and forth for ever since we are basically disagreeing on a few key points neither of us is going to change their opinion on. edit--jr, any reason you double post so much?

PMods - Purpose or Status?
ima finally kill that quote box :lol: then jagex should work harder to filter their player mod recruits and remove people who were clearly report hunting. Remember, im not defending bad mods, im defending the need for good mods. subjective, find one piece of evidence that I behave in a way that is not like the ideal mod you want other then being "on a high horse" which is a baseless claim. a player mod is the equivilant of a civilian watch service regulated by the police or community, since the cops (jagex) recruit them its incorrect to compare them to pesky neighbors, which I might note is not the type of mods im defending Your not answering me, im not on a high horse because im on a high horse what is your basis for claiming this? Secondly, youve been trying to use smart comments to discredit valid points and flinging personal insults so I have to assume your the one trying to be "clever" the advert bots arent the justification for existence, they are justification for maintaining a player mod community. Creating something (mods) for a given reason doesnt mean when that reason is gone removing them is a good idea. Jagex should look into refining who they have as mods etc. getting rid of all of them would be akin to firing every employee at a factory because one came into work drunk. If you have a splinter you pull it out, you dont cut off your arm I said I would be fine with losing my modship if it helped overall, there is a difference between being a crownless mod and not being a mod. I think removing all symbols of modship is asking for trouble, I dont however object to something more discrete because the crown is there to say "I am a player moderator" not "I am better then you" Everyone can report; however, the prescense of an "cop" has a tendency to deter "crime". There are obviously limits, and noone is suggesting mods acting like martial law is a good idea. So I cant know what I would do unless the situation is imminent? Its a pretty trivial choice in the grand scheme of things, there isnt any moral ambiguity here so no reason to believe I cant answer truthfully. Im not so wrapped up in my modship that I would actually be mortified if I lost it, I may say "darn" but if there is a good reason then at least it had a good result. as stated a million times we both agree that bad mods shoud be dealth with. At worst, if the question is something very trivial I will redirect them to the knowledge base. Whenever a player asks how to make money(im terrible at it btw) I give them a list of some of the more basic methods(green drags, flax, spinning bs, slayer). When players ask how I became a mod I say by obeying the rules and reporting (serious) rule breakers. Even for mods there is a limit on help, Im not going to take a player through an entire quest but I will tell them how to complete the next step or two etc. Finally, my main problem with your line of thought is that in gist your method is a. mods are supposed to be very good people b. some mods arent very good people c. we should remove all mods because they are more harm then good. my method in gist is a. mods are supposed to be very good people b. some mods arent very good people c. we need to work to refine the moderating process because a select few good mods are better for the rs community then no mods.

PMods - Purpose or Status?
[hide=] Most are not all. You actually state to know that mods are honourable players? Where is the honour in being a snitch? You repeat yourself endlessly because you cannot fathom what has been said. Maybe you've been used to your own opinion not being questioned in game. No suprise there then. You've already admitted theres a lesser need. Theres also an issue with mods doing it for status. What more do I need or is it so difficult to admit that the system isn't great and many of you mods are not as perfect as you think you are. Shock horror did I say that??? You love these analogy's. Since none can even begin to be compared to RS they are pretty useless. Do you really think you're that important that you believe your own hype? If they went mods would not be missed, except by those in desperation for their status. I know this hurts but your self importance would not get by the 'new selection process'. I would rather see the rough diamonds with some form of common sense govern the players if it had to stay. Not they types we get. Now don't forget the other points, including the status symbol. Come on now, don't get all selective on me. Hatred of mods? Maybe a little harsh. I prefer to look at it that I'm not one of your backside kissing followers who actually looks at the system and thinks 'Somethings not right here'. Your lack of attention to every single detail makes you blind to the points you just don't want to deal with. Doing this I debate every point you make. You just get offended by it because I pull you apart on your points. I don't need to look smart as you make it easy by digging your own hole. I've addressed things fully and argued my points as can be read through this post. Wasn't it you that went on for 3 or 4 posts about an analogy that no-one cared about. Of course I use your words to disprove or argue against. Thats what DEBATE is. Or is this offensive because you're not getting all your own way. I have taken all the points and attacks from you or others players and addressed those. If you cannot handle this then leave this debate. If you can then swallow your pride, climb down from your modship throne, grow up and debate some more. [/hide] where is the honor in letting players break rules? Snitching is reporting players for every single possible offense, as I already said I and a good bit of mods dont do this because it hurts the community we are trying to improve/sustain. Every one of your arguments is repeating that mods arent needed because we dont have item scammers anymore and Im the repetitive one? That is certaintly interesting its actually a good analogy, clearly police men are more important to the world, the fact I have to clarify that makes me question your ability to reason. Just because they are not direct relations does not mean the basis of the analogy is invalid. If two things had to be exact then the only fair analogy for modship would be modship, thats clearly useless because saying the ocean looks like the ocean is not a helpful description. What high horse exactly? The one where I acknowledge there are problems with moderator status or the one where I do wish they would make some small improvements and possibly make the mod crown less bold? If mods would be missed is a horribly subjective hypothetical, I doubt there would be a riot demanding them back, but over time the amount of advert bots etc. would slowly increase which most players dont want to happen. If jagex had a way to prevent all rulebreaking remotely I would be perfectly happy with removing p mods because they wouldnt have a purpose. As long as player mods have a beneficial purpose(s) to the runescape community I see no reason to remove them based upon your whims. Im not really interested in your opinion on if I deserve modship, and frankly if they refined the process and all the p mods were perfect Id be fine losing my status if it came to that. Im interested in the future or runescape, not inflating my ego through a few silver pixels next to a word. I disagree with you about the removal of all modship symbols, so why would I possibly list it under things I agree with you on? We could spend hours debating how much you dislike mods, its evident your not just concerned with the game, you clearly have some dislike of mods that shows through your tone. Yes, I clearly have a dislike of people that think overcompensating for small flaws is going to help, I am not trying to hide that. Ive addressed all points of your argument, you can say I havent but the fact is I have. Address how removing mods would help the runescape community since your capable of answering everything, Id prefer to keep rule breakers held down instead of giving them a new life by removing mods just because some of them arent great. Im not interested in my own ego or status, as said before if they could remove all rule breaking without mods Id be happy to lose that crown. If they could do more good by cutting down on mods to ensure quality Id gladly accept that if it means I keep my status or not. edit--the need for some symbol is there to prevent false mod claims, some players will get scammed whatever and I agree it becomes their own fault at some point. If we keep some mod symbol(silver bar or whatever) it allows experienced players to help less experienced players by telling them what a mod looks like, and it ensures that anything said under the guise of modship is "fact checked".

this makes no sense........
a vasectomy isnt a treatment for cancer, they dont remove your "parts" they just tie tubes so you cant impregnate anyone. on topic people that have more kids then they can support is such bs, if you can support 5 kids then I think your going overboard but hey at least they wont starve. Octo mom was such an idiot, and honestly I hope they take those kids away from her for their own good. To be blunt, being a single mother is acceptable(probably should be avoided as a general rule) having a bunch of kids is acceptable, not having a lot of money is acceptabe. However, being a single mother with a bunch of kids you cant pay for is bs

Oh darn I cant talk to my slayer master when drops appear
You get the slayer xp when the monsters health hits 0 before the drops. Im ranting that kills should be that way also because its annoying to wait for monsters with long death emotes. dagganoths in chaos tunnels dont give xp when they hit 0, its when they fall and disappear(personal experience)

Assisting suicide?
I prefer the build a giant funeral pyre and burn myself method personally. That aside, what is the legal reason for not allowing assisted suicide? Not referring to pressuring someone as that should be illegal I mean like helping an elderly person that wants to die inject whatever into their arm.

Stealing creation axe VS Dragon axe
Id say dragon axe is better overall. If clay axe is earning you 40 minutes of xp in 20 minutes of time it is technically just as good; however, 40 minutes of d axe cutting would be twice as much gp as 20 of clay axe and 20 of sc. Another key thing is that you will lose some efficiency having to switch axes every so often.
-
PMods - Purpose or Status?
agreed, perhaps a silver bar in front of the name(similair to military uniform stripe). If it looked formal it would indicate its purpose but would be less envied since a crown is symbolic in its own right.
-
Assisting suicide?
it does seem they assist in the suicide process to an extent. IMO assisted suicide should be legal but with strict ethical restrictions ie person cant have underage kids have to offer counseling for non terminal patient etc.

PMods - Purpose or Status?
So to clarify, your point is that mods are all egotists because you say so, we arent needed because you dont think theres enough rule breaking, and mods talk just to hear themselves and not be helpful because you say so? Really, you can claim as much as you want its not exactly impressive. I already explained that the need for mods is less then it is at one time because im interested in reality not playing the your wrong because im going to repeat myself game you seem to enjoy. Just because there is a lessened need doesnt mean there isnt a need. There are possibly quite a few mods that are unworthy of it, I already said they should be dealth with. Your trying to say all mods should get thrown out with the bad because you dont like them and its not a logical argument. All police officers arent good we keep the system, all teachers arent good we keep them as a system. Since I know you are going to try and discredit my analogy lets try something as close as possible. Not all people that earn a minor college scholorship are worthy of it, do we stop scholorships? No, because knee jerk overreactions cause a much bigger problem In conclusion, I already addressed that there are bad mods that should be removed from modship. If we remove all mods runescape will lose something that is very beneficial to the overall community. We can throw the baby out with the bathwater or we could actually suggest jagex improve on their selection process. If jagex were to monitor their selection a little better most problems with mods would severly dimish if not disappear entirely. Most of your arguments border on semantics, you can take each sentence of my argument and try to point out some ghost flaw in it or you can actually address what Im saying. Once you start debating actual points instead of just saying mods are egotists you will realize you have very little to stand on. Finally, Ive already conceded what pieces of your original post(s) were correct(ie the occurences of bad mods and that there is less need for them) and I really dont need to hear you ask me to say it again every post. Im interested in actually debating the need of mods not every single detail of your hatred of mods. edit--breaking down the series post just supports the belief you cant debate actual points. You cant address the accuracy of the whole post so you break each line down in a vain attempt to look smart. We have caught on that you cant address a whole theory and at best attack the wording of a sentence or at worst make up a meaning to suit your argument.

can anyone think of some good real weapons that were mostly defensive? The only thing I can think of is the ninja weapon that was a ring on a chain, used to "lasso" sword to disarm.

Study: "White People Avoid Race Topics"
I never got how the other 11 months are white history month, seriously almost every chapter in my ap us history book has at least a section devoted to racial minorities in the us. I mean if your studying american history and it just so happens most of the main figures in the history of a mostly white country are white it really cant be helped. I mean if were going to let that apply isnt every african country being horribly racist by talking more about black people then whites? as always sorry if that came off racist.

have to go to bed soon, ill pick apart that quote when I get the chance (my apologies for the delay) but first thing I noticed 10^119841 would not fill up the entire universe, thats a 1 and 119841 zeros, lets say my 0 takes up a square foot, that is only 119841 square feet wouldnt even cover the earth.

your really good at quoting "sources" out of thin air arent you pure prayer? give me some decent documentation for everything your saying, or im not going to put any stock in it
-
Is God real post your thoughts!
if its so common give me a good source besides, nothing involving universal phenomena is common knowledge except what gravity is e=mc^2 and some other no duh stuff (ie a galaxy is big) edit-- technological advancement is an exponential curve, once a species reaches the point of (my label) tech 2 technology they begin an exponential technology curve while having an irreconcilably altered evolution curve. Your mistaking evolution and technology they are entirely different.
-
Is God real post your thoughts!
want to cite a source pure prayer? I was reading through wikiquote.com einstein stuff and I am amazed. I officially found how to define what I believe. To paraphrase to the best of my abilities, Einstein believed that the pursuit of truth and pursuing an explanation for the universe was the true discovery of god. Just read through his quotes on wikiquote there is some amazing stuff in there.

27th February - Temporary Closure of Bounty Hunter Craters
im wondering what actual updates jagex is going to make banning tt armor is probably going to be one step and would make rwt much slower for anything above 1mil(does anyone see a problem with that?) a new drop system is possible but I dont see jagex doing that as it would cancel the point of bounty hunt im thinking maybe we will get say 5 smaller craters on less worlds. That would make any rwt business keep a lot more trading accounts on hand and raise the chance of getting killed if you kill a non target.
