WIN.

YOU WILL BE ASSIMILATED

I dislike the idea of removing XP because it can cause weird anomalies (lvl 3's with quest capes for example) anyways back onto your comment. I'm not confident in Jagex's abilities to detect a bot. But Jagex could increase monitoring of botting on an account that is in lockdown I guess. Anyways, it's not like it would be TOO hard to make it impossible for players to bot out of a punishment. So here's a hypothetical thing that Jagex could implement, as a punishment for botting, that would 100% be unbottable. -Introduce a map editor/quest maker to the community that would allow players to create mini-RS worlds and mini quests. -Allow players to upload these quests. -Players can play instanced versions of these player made quests for fun. -Offer an incentive for the player to make these quests (like, good quests get made into real quests or something) -Force players punished for banning to complete X number of these quests. In theory, there should be such an obnoxiously large number, and varied combination of quests that the community could make. That writing a botting program to circumvent the punishment would be more or less impossible. Brute Force Solutions can be > Botting tbh :) As though we don't have enough "weird anomalies" as it is. *cough Bruno the glitcher cough* But I like the quest idea. Or we could force them to drain Dungeoneering resource dungeons of EVERY RESOURCE before they can continue (with no xp for it, ofc). After ~100 floors, they'd be free to throw their bank in the destruction box to try to un-lockdown their account. :twisted:

Idk how much DF I've played today. I know it exceeds 8 hours, though....

My idea: As soon as Jagex detects a bot, they start making the bot LOSE xp instead of gaining it until they log out. Then, next time they log in, their account is "locked down" as Morionic put it; except during lockdown, the xp loss remains the same - if you have to do stuff to earn money to pay off the account, you suffer for it. Makes them less likely to just go back and bot during lockdown.

Last time I saw a caravan, it was on my ice mountain fort after most of my people had gone dehydratedly insane. :thumbup:

Well, my ice cave fort just exploded in a dehydrated terminal hissy fit. Poor buggers. Ah well, time to try again elsewhere. Maybe near a freshwater river this time. And maybe I'll actually remember to bring some mushroom seeds.

All my dwarves starved in my old fort that I had going for a day or so (stupid immigrants fogging all the food). So, I started a new one.... ON AN ICE MOUNTAIN. Time to pray that the ice doesn't melt...

Rocco, tetrahedrite works as copper, if you've found any of that.

Huh. Might try it. On another note, my stonecutter just entered a fey mood and took over a gemcutting shop. This could be interesting.

I'm sitting on 10 z-layers of dirt, sand, mud, and rock. Oh, and the occasional iron-based vein of ore. <.< No flux materials so far.... And what's all this about dwarf therapist?

I currently have a few (somewhat massive) caverns filled with nothing but rocks. And a farm, still, carpenter's shop, mason's shop, jeweler's shop, all that nice stuff. So far, no magma. Edit: I forgot, my 2 miners have hit legendary status. Now if I could find something to get them better pickaxes...

So far, I have lost 3 times at Dwarf Fortress. All within the first two hours.

Theros continues being unconscious.

Theros mutters a few swear words, then passes out.

Theros waits to see what everyone else does.

Theros mutters a few profanities before shooting at the monster some more with his bow (That is, if the monster is still visible. If it's not, he tries to get out.)

Edel, that avatar is TRIPPY. And dang, Dusty beat me to it.

Theros wall-jumps between the corners of the cavern, shooting off arrows from his bow when he gets a chance.

Theros follows Rocco through the crack.

Theros follows Rocco, apologizing mildly about knocking them both into a rancid sewer. (Also, I called it. First dungeon of many.)

Make it up as we go.

(inb4Edel gets mauled by ninja boar) Theros says, "Well, we all gotta die someday!" and jumps into the hole.

Theros goes and asks the guard what he should do.

Theros tries to see what's inside the hole.
