Jehosaphat

1) was this necessary? Nope. Just nerfing mummies, perhaps, but I see it in a similar light to the way I see certain recent piracy issues. To put it simply, if there's a problem with people doing too much of something you don't want them to, the solution isn't to just try and make them stop; it's to have them want to stop. Make training things like RC more amusing, and I'm not talking about more little once-per-week things. Give people a reason to not hoard effigies, instead of just making it impossible. 2) are effigies in the spirit of the game? In my opinion? Yes. They work well, reduce grinding at high levels, and get players to work together (whenever the stupid time limit is up). 3) do you agree with the way jagex implemented their nerf? As usual, no. See the response to #1 if you really want to know more.

Between sessions, John mines up some iron.

Nobody reads stickied threads because nobody puts anything there for them to read because people think that if they put it in the designated sticky, nobody will care to read it. It's a catch-22. It'd be appreciated if you'd at least put a post in the appropriate thread, though.

Intersession: John works on his little shack in the woods, making storage crevasses and getting a better ceiling and whatnot.

Yeah, I'll take that. And an inventory check would be much appreciated.

Can I have mine be Concentrated Potions, giving me better chances to create compound potions such as the pfp ones that took me like an hour and a half? Also, will you be showing us our inventories, stats, and such? I know mine would kind of be a pain to write out because I'm carrying around like a bazillion items, but it'd be helpful in case I missed anything.

During the inter-session, John goes gathering in the wilds around Lightgate.

A shame.

I'm just going to chill and watch you guys cuddle. Maybe take a video camera so I can sell the video on the Internet.

THIS IS EZK'S STORY TIME http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MstyFwhLy4

What is all this I don't even EDIT: As for Ezk's story time, I have no idea what you should do. Really.

Man, look at all those clam shells. That is just... a lot of clam shells. Really. I have no intention whatsoever of doing anything evil with those. At all. And Archi, you forgot to note the potions I made to store for later. And the shovel.

Intersession action: John waits for the blindness to wear off. Once it does, he goes a-gathering again.

That looks pretty good. And I hate to do this, but can I have your list of John's inventory/skills again? I lost the other one to a computer derp.

The one thing I have to say is: that is a ton of stats. Are you going to expect us to keep track of them, or will you be doing that? Other than that, I'm eager to play. Tomorrow, I'm probably free most of the time that I'm not asleep. EDIT: Oh right, gotta pick a weapon. Shortsword, I guess.

I lol'd And I'm not going to discuss relationship stuff, as I am still generally avoiding that area.

Not too impressed with this, honestly. I'm not entirely sure why. But I guess if it means that there will be more good updates (not ones like, say, the homepage redesign), I'm ok with it. Especially since I think I'm still paying the pre-08 prices.

John will spend the evening collecting herbs, mushrooms, bugs, and leaves.

I am entirely unsure if I will be able to come tomorrow, as I have some fairly major events occurring.

Character Name: John Erikson Alias: Ze Doktor Weapon of Choice: Shovel Starter Skills (if I'm allowed to take any, since I couldn't find a complete summary): Potion-and/or-Poison-making (depending if these fall under the same category), Healing Magic Description: Pale man in his 20s, black hair, brown eyes, slight Spanish accent. Wears a white robe with various bloodstains everywhere. Of course, I didn't get a chance to actually play because I showed up late, and I won't be able to play actually until next Saturday (or earlier if the sessions run incredibly late).

Sounds good, Archi, I'll probably play once I'm entirely sure that my schedule isn't copmletely insane.

I want to be either a spriggan or a gnome. Something tiny. And, of course, assassin and illusionist. Knock them out or distract them, then involuntarily perforate several major organs.

yes yes yes yes a thousand times yes I have dibs on being the spriggan that knocks people out with magic then stabs them in the back for MASSIVE DAMAGE.

I'm up for anything but Hegemony, as that tends to be a time-eater.

Vain vein vane. Yet another example of the language that brought you bear (n), bear (v), and bare. And buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo etc.
