I personally would Withdraw the cash. Sure, if you left it in your coffers, you would still gain resources until the cash ran out, but since your Approval rating would deteriorate over time, you wouldn't be getting the most bang for your buck.

I miss my N64. Majora's Mask ftw.

I'm more of a cat person, but out of the two dogs my family has had, I really loved Cherokee, our black lab. I miss her. :(

If you did a little back-reading, you'd know what my stance is... [hide=Page 79] [/hide] I clearly don't think being straight is something someone can choose.

Horrific overpopulation... GET OVER IT. :roll: *cough* Your argument fails. If you do your research, and plan your meals carefully, you shouldn't have to worry about it. Actually, I weigh more now than I did before becoming a vegetarian. You can always opt for organic eggs, laid by free-range chickens. :thumbup: They're fed a natural diet, and live a peaceful life.

I actually have three bosses (our General Manager, and two Senior Assistant Managers above me.) Our GM and one of our SAMs are really cool. Our GM is really nice, and although he is mostly reserved, and just sits there and observes things, he's pretty cool once you start talking to him. Our one SAM is awesome, really. She's the reason that I wanted to become a manager in the first place. She always treats the employees fairly, and takes on a somewhat mother/big sister role. She also has great parties at her house, and lets me sleep there when I'm in, er, no condition to drive :thumbsup: The other SAM... that's a different story. She is... uh... not very nice, let's say.

Probably just Zelda: OoT. I'm also pretty close on Zelda: Twilight Princess - maybe 95% of extras found.

Perhaps I misunderstood your meaning, then. I didn't mean to imply that I equate eating meat to owning bombs. To me, I read your statement as "They're dead already, so we may as well eat them." And I personally don't really agree with that logic. I don't care how it died. If it's an animal, I won't eat it. To me, the method of killing the animal is irrelevant. If you asked me what I thought about boiling a chicken while it's still alive, versus instantly killing a cow by puncturing it's skull with a metal rod (I really don't mean to be graphic... I just don't know how to describe it, really) I would obviously take the method of the cow slaughter. It is instantanious. However, I wouldn'y call either of the methods "humane."

For me, no. Although I did watch this... uh, interesting TV program that aired on the BBC network about a British man who calls himself a vegetarian, yet has no qualms about eating roadkill :? It was actually a pretty interesting show to watch. However, for me, I don't really mind much how the animal died... I would prefer not to eat it either way.

: No problem!

The fact that the animals will die regardless is somewhat irrelevant in my eyes. I don't need to eat them, just because they died... that's like saying, "Well, people are still going to make bombs... so we may as well buy em!" No - even if something is happening, you don't have to partake in it if you choose not to. And I can only speak for myself when I say this: I don't believe there is a "humane" way to kill an animal. You're still taking an animal's life when you get down to it.

For Mith, I've always used the Lumby swamps spot. It's a bit of a walk to Draynor or Zanaris to bank, but alas! There's also quite a few Coal rocks, so I always mine those while waiting for the Mith to respawn.

It's no different than arguing whether being gay is "right or wrong," as this topic is prompting. This whole topic is somewhat silly, IMO, but as long as it's up, I don't see why people can't feel free to discuss all sides to the topic.

Even if you write it out once more it still won't be true. I'm still 100% confused... are you saying being gay IS a choice, or is NOT a choice?

To clarify my earlier comment: I wasn't implying that "homosexuality isn't an option." I was meaning to imply that it isn't a choice someone makes. It just... is. 0% of straight people wake up one day and say, "I think I'll like the opposite sex today." It's no different for gay people. Sorry for any confusion!

I'm a vegetarian. \ I stopped eating meat roughly... three-and-a-half years ago. It was a personal decision I made one night, and I've stuck to it ever since. For me personally, I choose to abstain from eating meat based on the issues surrounding animal rights, and animal cruelty. I understand that even if I don't eat meat, the American meat industry will continue to thrive - choosing to not buy a package of hamburger meat will in no way prevent future cows from being slaughtered. But it gives me a good feeling inside, knowing that my dollar isn't supporting what I believe to be a cruel industry. Along with this, there are plenty of other reasons why I believe electing a vegetarian diet (and I can only speak the opinions of a vegetarian, as I have no idea what a vegan lifestyle is like...) is healthier for our planet. When I first stopped eating meat, it was just "because," and I "didn't want to eat animals." I soon discovered that there's a lot more to being a vegetarian than just not eating meat. So I started to do my research, and even based my senior project around it (which essentially took my entire senior year of high school to complete - so I did plenty of research.) The meat industry is quite harmful to our planet. Two crucial problems surrounding the industry are pollution, and deforestation/desertification. Pollution is pretty self-explanitory: huge amounts of fossil fuel are wasted to power the industry; vast amounts of methane gas is released each year due to all of the livestock's waste, in addition to all of the greenhouse gases created by burning fossil fuels; and in some cases, a few select companies have simply dumped their toxic waste directly into bodies of water, polluting the water supply, and killing additional animals. I don't think I need to explain what deforestation implies... Desertification is somewhat self-explanitory: by continually using an area of land to grow feed for livestock, the nutrients in the soil are eventually used up. The land literally becomes a desert. It normally can't be re-used to grow more food, and since the soil becomes so hard, you have issues involving water run-off. Instead of absorbing into the soil, the polluted water runs into nearby rivers and streams, which travel to larger bodies of water, etc., and end up contaminating them further. On top of all this, when you get right down to it, more people can be fed using the corn and feed used to feed the livestock. It takes a huge amount of food to feed a single cow - if you simply used this corn/wheat/etc. to feed people directly, you could feed a lot more. - - - I don't mean to ramble on about details... Now I'll try to remember a few things people have said that has [bleep]ed my interest... People seem to be continually mentioning the fact that mankind was "made to eat meat." This point doesn't really matter to most vegetarians I know, myself included. The beauty of being an omnivorous species lies within the fact that we can eat either/or. And as far as the "god made animals to be eaten" comment goes... I... well, I can't really supply any rebuttle. I don't believe in god, but if I did, I would agree that he also gave us free-will, and the ability to choose what we put into our bodies. I don't have to eat an animal, simply because it was created by some higher-being. Also, while it is true that the inclusion of meat in a diet can provide healthy benefits, it also has negetive side-effects. All of the pesticides used to grow livestock feed, and all of the hormones injected into the animals themselves to "plump them up," are forever inside the meat. You injest these right along with the rest of the animal, and they pollute your body. There is also the issue surrounding the fat-content of most meats - some of which are quite high. Brain worms? I've never even heard this brought up before in a discussion surrounding vegetarianism. No vegetarian I've spoken to has ever been concerned with brain worms... No additional comment. To Wongtong's comment: I sincerely hope that most vegetarians have the decency to not force their views on anyone else. As a vegetarian myself, I have no problem saying that I really don't care if you eat meat. I choose not to. This doesn't mean that everyone else is wrong or bad. This just means that meat-eaters are different than me, as I am different from them. Eat on!! As mentioned by a few people earlier, there seems to be concern surrounding the topic of strength and muscle-mass. While it's true that, if done incorrectly, a vegetarian diet can be harmful, I would never go as far as to say that all vegetarians are weak. I've always been a slender person, even before I became a vegetarian. That being said, I'm just as strong today as I was when I was still eating meat - I have had no changes in my strength level. (Nice to meet you, RussianFed55!) - - - This is all I have for now - I'm giving my fingers a break. As I seem to be the only vegetarian posting in the topic, feel free to ask questions if you have them :D

Well, it's a good thing no one chooses to be homosexual then! :twss:

Michael Crichton is (*cries* was) my favorite sci-fi author. Jurassic Park is one of my top-10 favorite books of all time. I read it at least once every two months or so, followed by The Lost World. I highly suggest reading his memoir Travels. It's an account of his earlier medical training, his world-wide travels, and some interesting reading on his look into the "supernatural" side of life (seeing auras, meditation, etc.) - - - Teen fantasy-fiction is my favorite stuff to read, although I will literally read anything and everything. My book collection spans the spectrum: from books written for eight year olds, up to some pretty heavy, adult-geared novels. I threw together a Top-10 Favorite Books list a few months ago... I'll go find it and include it. (It reallllly stunk to only pick ten!) [hide=Top-10 Favorite Books]10. Interview with the Vampire by ANNE RICE - This book is amazing! It was the first book that I ever read about vampires, and every single new vampire book I read I find myself comparing it to "Interview." The entire "Vampire Chronicles" series is amazing, and I only narrowed it down to this book, simply because it's the first in the series. Please read it if you haven't already, and DON'T come to it with images of Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise in your head gag. (But do read Queen of the Damned with images of the movie in your head, because it is just a great movie to make fun of they adapted the book so ew. I can't type any more.) 9. The Blade Itself by JOE ABERCROMBIE - I first read this book for the first time quite recently (within the year) but it already found it's way onto my list! Once you read the book, you might find it odd to see me refer to it as "beautiful," but it really is one of the greatest fantasy books I've ever read (and that's ALL I read!) It contains everything that I think a great action book should: drama, amazing characters -- horribly cynical characters at that -- epic battles, magic, and a unique setting (among other things.) Besides, the characters drop the f-bomb like no other, and it makes me giggle just thinking about it. Oh, Nine-fingers..! (Please immediately read, and then go buy the sequel, "Before They Are Hanged." And you should probably just pre-order the third installment, "Last Argument of Kings." NOW.) 8. A Density of Souls by CHRISTOPHER RICE - It's no wonder why this book is so amazing: it's written by Anne Rice's son! Now, Chris Rice is NOT his mother, and their writing styles are on opposite ends of the spectrum. (So if you're not a fan of Anne Rice, don't come to this expecting it to be like her stuff.) This is the first of four books that he has written, and it's my favorite out of the four! This book is about murder and sex and relationships and glorious, glorious things, and it is so terribly dark (I think) that it affected what types of books I like to read! This was one of the first "real," non-fantasy books that I read. 7. The Thief Lord by CORNELIA FUNKE - This book makes me go "aww." But not really. Well, yes it does. It's an amazing tale of two boys who, upon a visit to Venice, decide to run away from their aunt and uncle (their parents died, and they're under their care.) In the twisting alleys of the city, they encounter a "gang" of other cast- and runaways hiding out in an abandoned movie theater. The group is led by a masked figure called the Thief Lord, a young boy whose ultimate dream is to become grown-up. That's the BASIC gist of the tale, without giving away the juicy twists. This book, while it was no doubt intended for people around age twelve (*sigh*) was an easy pick for my list! Please go read it. (you'll find it in the children's section at Barnes and Nobles) 6. First Test by TAMORA PIERCE - To clarify, this book is the first of the "Protector of the Small" quartet. The quartet as a whole is my second favorite by Tamora Pierce (see 4 for my favorite quartet.) Quick rundown to get the back story: it's recently been decreed that girls are now allowed to step up to the plate in trying to become knights of the realm. Pierce's most famous character, Alanna, was the first girl to achieve the rank of Knight. Since that day, no other girl has taken the challenge. Enter Keladry of Mindalen - Kel isn't like other girls: instead of sewing and housekeeping, she wants to become a fighting knight! Many trials follow Kel on her journey, and she easily became one of my favorite Tamora Pierce characters! Poor description of a book, I guess but you should just read it 5. Book of Shadows by CATE TIERNAN - YAY. That's the first thing I think of when I see this book on my shelf. The second is "Enya," but that's a long story in itself This book is the first in Cate Tiernan's "Sweep" series. (I highly recommend reading the entire series - it's only 15 books long, at about $6.99 a pop. Not too bad.) This book follows the life of Morgan Rowlands, your average high school girl entering her senior year. Then Morgan meets a new student named Cal, and he changes her life forever! When you get down to it, "Sweep" is a series about a group of high school students who study Wicca, and they eventually form their own coven. All of the characters (it switches POV throughout the series) encounter their own hardships, and the relationships between all of them are ever-evolving, dissolving, and re-forming. This series is one of my top three favorite series that I own! (You should have seen me, years ago, trying to hunt down all fifteen books I was in a blood-frenzy! Those damn elusive tomes!) 4. Sandry's Book by TAMORA PIERCE - This was the first book I ever read by Tamora Pierce (my favorite author.) It literally changed my life! This is the first book in her "Circle of Magic" series, and it focuses on four young kids -- Sandry, Briar, Trisana, and Daja -- who each find out that they can harness and use magic. While the title might imply otherwise, the book jumps around from character to character. It's such a great tale, that I can't really describe it too well! It keeps me on the edge of my seat (bed) every time I've read it, even though it is probably my second most-read book/series that I own. I highly, highly recommend reading ANYTHING by Tamora Pierce, and especially this book. 3. Jurassic Park by MICHAEL CRICHTON - I I love this book. I read the book after watching the movie (one of top five favorite movies off all time, coincidently!) so unfortunately whenever I read it, I'm always visualizing Sam Neil, Laura Dern, and Jeff Goldblum. But aside from that fact, it was the first book that I wrote down when creating this list! I have a sick obsession with this book, and whenever I can't choose a new book to read, my usual plan is to just re-read this one! I can't really count how many times I've read it, but I literally don't need to any more I know what happens chapter by chapter, nearly scene by scene If you like dinosaurs, you should read this. And if you don't like dinosaurs, you should read this so you CAN like dinosaurs. Because then you can go out and read "The Lost World" as well. Michael Crichton is one of my top-four favorite authors. 2. Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban by J. K. ROWLING - My favorite Harry Potter book! I could write endless amounts of paragraphs about this book, but I'll spare you the somewhat embarrassingly juicy details (I have a twisted obsession with Remus Lupin -- Moony, where are you?! COME BACK!! *chases after his ghost.*) 1. Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J. K. ROWLING - While this book, in comparison to the other six, is smaller and less exciting (in a way) I still need to pay tribute to it. I bought this book in sixth grade, at the book fair at Wilson Elementary School. My life literally changed forever that day! I went from having a vivid imagination, to becoming a reader. As far as I can remember, this was the first book that I ever bought! It set me on the path to become a lover of fantasy fiction, and it inspired me to start writing my own fantasy fiction. Although there are a gazillion fans of the Harry Potter series, there are still many who don't like it at all. Well, I'm here to defend it, damn it, and to say that it's more than just a book. This book, no, this series defines my child/teenhood, 1999-2007. When I look back at all of the friends I had during those times, especially my pen pals, our relationships were greatly fueled by Harry Potter. So, while it might not be my favorite Harry Potter book of the series, it earns its place as 1 by making me who I am today! (That's the power of the written word, people!)[/hide] Yeah... I'm a nerd.

I would most likely just give mine away. Sure, I really love my character. Serpent_Eye was the first character I ever made when I first started playing the game, and has always been my main through the years. But... if I was willingly quitting the game... I wouldn't really see a point in profiting from it, even if it was allowed. That's like throwing something into your garbage bin, and then making the person who drives the garbage truck pay for it.

Level 3 TT + Revs. Let's just say... I just drop Lvl-3 clues now. Edit: Also, when I first became P2P, I was totally pwnd in the Wilderness in the Edgeville dungeon... Snared and Tele-blocked... I was depressed for a week.

I haven't started that quest yet, but I can point you in the direction of the Tip.It Myths of the White Lands quest guide. Edit: Any maybe crop your screenshot down next time :thumbsup:

If you're desperate, use your Ectophial to teleport to the Ectofunctus, and walk the rest of the way to Canifis.

My brother stumbled upon it.
