Assume Nothing

What about for people such as myself, who have a lack of interest in English as a general subject, but greater enthusiasm for critical thinking as a course in itself?

That's just poor typing etiquette. It's good practice to fix your errors as you type - are you really going to spot all your mistakes on a quick re-read? It takes one typo to mess up your resume, and your MS Word won't even tell you: "I will see you, shorty."

It wouldn't necessarily justify the costs to win by a mere 3% (33% as opposed to 30%). That's 10% more 'interest' (not revenue!) in NY over London - is that even sufficient?

Is it possible that simply a change in state and federal law could allow for a new industry to emerge? Specifically, the hemp market; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemp_plastic

I do believe there has been studies confirming causal link between greenhouse gases and the subsequent rise in temperature. The predictions on the time we have to 'fix' everything, however, is a different story.

Banned for lack of evidence.

I detect a false dichotomy. The ideal typing speed is dependent on the person, and the keyboard that they use. For a person like me, typing at approximately 105-110wpm is my 'optimal' whereby it permits no mistakes whilst typing relatively fast.

Thanks for the depression trip. I really needed it.

The majority of the F2P community are grateful for what we've been given. The problem is that now Jagex have taken away something that was always there, and that's a slippery slope. Once the powers that be realize that they can get away with taking things away, no matter how small or large, what's to stop them from taking away more? What would happen to the game if they decide to limit non-members to the Lubridge/Draynor starting area only? I don't think such a large scale operation can be justified, and nor will it benefit JaGex in any way shape or form. Then again, I can't see any valid justification for the removal of f2pers on hiscores either.

I know right! They just keep getting more and more common! If you had half a brain-cycle you'd realise I meant sightings of party hats instead of you being a sarcastic drongo. 2006: You would be lucky to see one person wearing one, when they did it was like Zezima all over again. 2011: You see at least 3 daily and its a case of "yep, w/e" Where has this observation led you? Does this revelation make partyhats less of a status symbol? Does it somehow reduce their sentimental value?

The referenced page that number was gotten from lists 1M+ subscribers and 8.5M+ active accounts. How is it misrepresentation? The question is - are 7.5m active f2pers in support of that very article? Does the views expressed in the article represent the views of the average f2per?

Ironic avatar, don't you think?

I spend too much time reading tip.it forums (OT, Gen Disc, Forum Games, rants), tvtropes, Cracked, talking on mIRC, Msn, Skype, RuneScape, etc. to sleep before 11:00pm. A weird habit seems to be the fact that I don't like turning off the lights for bed - if that makes any difference. The thing that drives me crazy is the fact that I could be completely bloodshot yet I still couldn't manage to sleep. I think it's the fact that my mind races too fast to wind down. Indeed, reading from a textbook does help, though.

I share your pain - I slept at 6:30am and woke up at 11:30am today. The body clock is weird - sometimes waking up early doesn't make you sleep earlier, but rather, the opposite is true. Or instead, it could make you sleep too early, which leads to developing a pattern that makes you a night owl yet again. Life is unfair. Why?!

I think you'd need to. RuneScape Poll Which city do YOU think should host RuneFest 2012? Chicago 18% Los Angeles 18% London 30% New York 33%

[/hide] Absolutely gorgeous! :D <3: He wants to hit that. :shades: I saw this on fatpita, and I couldn't resist;

I guess when the wealth/income disparity can no longer be sustained, then prices are likely to fall for the high-end items. Who knows, this could be purely speculative trading.

She doesn't bite... unless you want her to ;D

They don't have to be - big updates like these have indirect effects on all items. How do you make a steel titan pouch?

This raises the question; What constitutes a 'living' game? Is it the social interaction, or the figures of people playing, or the numbers of those subscribing, or the engagement required to play? Or maybe, could it be an alternate factor that I haven't accounted for? I don't currently hold a position for the argument, since I lack sufficient knowledge regarding it and simply feel somewhat apathetic towards the subject in general. Does it matter whether f2p is allegedly 'dying' or not?

I think the problem with RWT can be addressed. This is not to say that it won't require significant effort/expense on JaGex's part and the community's part to negate the issue.

I don't understand why JaGex didn't choose to address the problem of the scamming, but instead, choose to intervene on the act of dicing itself. Is it not feasible for JaGex to address scamming whilst allowing free trade?

It's a safe assumption that the time and expense necessitated by the weekend event will not be justified by the 'fun' experienced - especially for the relatively poorer younger audiences. I still think it's more likely that JaGex will still choose London for 2012 - they can't bring an impressive HQ to America. Only time will tell, I guess.
