Having just closed another game that had turned into spam, I'm afraid that we can't allow another one whose entire original purpose was spam to be revived. Tylerelyt, I appreciate your attempt to turn it into a proper game but the history of this one will only encourage more spam. That said, feel free to start a new game with those rules. :)

Uhm... what? :blink: ~D. V. "not getting it" Devnull Just a bit of a joke, with you and Arceus going back and forth for most of a page so I thought I'd jump in there. ;) 1023

It's run by a local church so people pay via donations and if you can't afford the full amount you pay through fundraising. It's really good for low income families, which makes it really popular so you have to line up early to make sure you get in. I was told the people at the front of the line had been there since around 5. I have a good job but am by no means wealthy and his mother doesn't work at all so this is our best chance to send him to camp. If that means getting up hella early on a Saturday then so be it.

Lining up at 6:30am to register my son for summer camp. Dag I'm tired. I am firmly convinced that humans were no meant to get up at 5am.

C-c-c-combo breaker! :P 1019

Don't worry, they'll forgive you. At one point or another we've all been in a relationship that everyone but us knew was a train wreck. ;) Right? Life is much better without a poisonous millstone around your neck. If only dating as an adult wasn't so damn ridiculous. <_< Great, now I need a drink. :lol:

She used to be quite attractive. Less so now. Happens to everyone as they get older. Except me of course, I am ageless like a work of fine art. :P

I don't want to see pictures of Nicki Minaj. <_<

Since Dax brought up Saints Row 2, this is my favourite track from SR4 Who knew SR4 even had radio stations? You never drive anywhere unless forced to by the story. I didn't even know this song was there until I noticed it on the ending credits, at which point I was all like "What? I could have been listening to this all along?".

Good to see you're back D.V. 21831

Welcome! Always good to see another pure F2P blog start up. :D Unfortunately wilderness kills on free servers don't count towards the Wildstalker helmet, but feel free to hit me up in-game if you want to trade Duellist cap kills.

Ah good old mining bots, the bane of my RS existence. May they all be drowned in lava. :lol:

I dunno, I think I prefer the "game is dying" theory to the "we're old and out of touch" one. :P Both sides have merit though. RuneScape has been around for 15 years, so it's only natural that players who have been around for years would eventually leave. Old players leave and take with them the thought that you have to go to fansite forums to get info. After all, that was really the only place to get proper info on the game. Now in comes a new wave of players, some of whom probably weren't even born when the game started, who know only that wiki's are the best place to get information (and when it's often the first search result, how would they know otherwise) so what reason would they have to come to a fansite forum? The game itself seems to still have legs (despite "dying" for last decade) otherwise Jagex would not be spending effort and resources on regular updates or major graphical overhauls like NXT. Perhaps what we need is some way of letting people know we're still here. I mean, we're still an officially approved fansite ([qfc]254-255-304-65216439[/qfc]) maybe there's something we can do to remind people of that.

Just bought season 6 of Archer. Been laughing my ass off. :lol:

Good for you Bonez. My dad was a volunteer firefighter where I grew up, so I know it's a tough gig. Much respect. :thumbup:

BBQ ribs and beers at my best friend's place while the kids run about on the lawn. Spring's officially here. :)

Dan doesn't play as much as he used to, but how many of us do? Life is a harsh mistress. But TFS is still surprisingly active, if not quite as chatty as I remember. Still, get the right starter going and a spirited conversation will quickly follow. |^_^| Okay, I've been promising proper updates since I came back but after finally transferring everything to my laptop and realizing that there's a metric ton of screenshots to go through I have decided to break it all up into (relatively) smaller updates rather than bombard you with a massive one all at once. So without further ado, I give you... Kaida's 4 month 3 year update part 3!: The Battle of Lumbridge part 1, or: I've been gone too damn long! :twss: When we last left off I was working on Smithing, Crafing and Fishing. The Battle of Lumbridge kind of put Smithing on the back burner for the duration, but before it got into full swing I got these: [spoiler='Crafting 71] [spoiler=Crafting 72] Long absent mighty gods Saradomin and Zamorak descended upon the once (relatively) peaceful land of Gielinor with some kind of bug up their collective butts over who was better, stronger, faster and the Battle of Lumbridge was underway as we mere mortals took up arms to fight for our chosen deity. Or to simply get cool rewards. Which ever. :P Personally I sided with Zamorak at first, gaining all the armour pieces except the cape (don't remember why any more, maybe I figured I didn't have enough time to get absolutely everything on both sides) then defected to Saradomin and kept fighting for him for the remainder of the Battle. As regular readers of this blog with know, I'm a long time supporter of Saradomin and it was always my plan to finish the BoL on his side with as many rewards as possible. Once on the battlefield I powered though some fishing to finally get to level 90: [spoiler=Fishing 89] [spoiler=Fishing 90] And somewhere in there I also got 95 Magic (possibly from xp lamps as I can't see myself stopping to train it during the BoL) and apparently Divination was released around this time so I got it to level 5. [spoiler=Magic 95] [spoiler=Divination 5] Now that my Fishing goal had been achieved and Divination was out of the way, I shifted my focus on the battlefield to mining and boy oh boy did that ever pay off! :thumbsup: Mining battlefield tears was fast, easy and best of all semi-afk! F2P really, really needs something like that. I did it for the rest of the event, occasionally jumping worlds to mine sacred metal fragments (we had a hunt chat set up and everything) or killing NPC's for Icyenic weapon overrides...but I'm getting ahead of myself again. I made ridiculous Mining gains during the BoL. Here's where I started: And here's where I finished: :shock: Just over 5M Mining xp in, what, three maybe three and a half months? In F2P? With all the world hopping and chatting and running about doing other stuff to collect as many rewards as I could in between? That's absolutely insane. I'm sure I was hoping to make to an even 20M, but I can't imagine I was anything less than happy with this. Now I'm sure you all noticed that I made other level gains during that time, and I also gained many many rewards for my dedicated service to Saradomin, plus there was even a new quest thrown in there...but this entry has gotten long enough so I think I'm going to leave it here for now. Tune in next time for more thrilling skilling, killing and BoL chilling in part 4 of my mega epic, ultra late update series: "The Battle of Lumbridge part 2" or "Always leave them wanting more" ;)

Coincidentally this very subject came up in my cc last night and it turns out a lot of them are in their 20's as well.

So far, you're all just young'uns. I'm 38, and I know there are many others older than me who still play. I've no idea what kind of age range my clan mates are, but I'm not entirely sure it matters. Having grown up with video games, I've never really considered them "just for kids". Now get off my lawn dagnabbit, I'm trying to nap! :P

Today while working on a pump a full-sized F250 quad cab powerstroke diesel pulled up to the other side and out jumped the tiniest, most petite blonde you ever saw and in the softest, sweetest voice you ever heard proceeded to curse a blue streak that would make a sailor blush when she saw the pump wasn't working. I...I think I'm in love.
