And that's why I hate randoms.

The sooner you get there and put the work into it for some of the easiest money you can make in game, the happier you'll be.

(Please don't use the Rants board as a joke/spam board. :P The board exists for players to vent frustration about elements of Runescape and it's community. I'm sure Jagex will do something soon that will have everyone reaching for their keyboards to rant soon enough :) )

I've got Mrs. Robinson playing in my head now.

[spoiler=Moar ROTM spoilers]Sliske is good? I assumed he was out for himself. Also not sure if the TDs or Glacors are summoned so much as bound to that area. "Chaotic Neutral" comes to mind.

Weapons do.

It would never work. He's welsh, I'm human...we're too different.

I don't really see how that's any different than all people being together and having equal chance of getting nothing...or equal chance of getting something and it be essentially worthless. At least with splitting you're increasing people's potential to make more cash which generally equals 'more fun'.

I still have you to thank for letting us know about that and enabling me to get my awesome display name :wub:

Well done Matt :)

I think it's important to use "CS" for these casual MH'ing trips. It helps people feel more involved and get more satisfaction from the trip when they get a coin split. But if you did a series of events, where you did a back-to-back sort of trip, LS would be a wiser choice. Alternately, you could look into splitting up the groups into smaller portions to give higher CS drops, so people get that "awesome loot" experience they hope to have while MH'ing. I don't know. I know of a lot of people who just abuse masses just for LP and don't really get involved, but I know it's no fun to get an 700k split off a 30mil item :s It's a tough call.

How often would you guys say you go to corp and how flexible are you with guests? Is there an approved guest application in a similar way to DGS operates? Or are you focusing more heavily on improving your member core?

He was the one who introduced me to RuneScape way back when, before we were even dating. MMO's aren't really his thing. He has a distinct playing style and is too detail-oriented for the freedoms a game like RS allows you. There have been times I wished he would get members on his noob account so I could do solo larges. :(

It might not seem like it, but it is important. I'm not talking about super in-depth end-game knowledge and experience. But knowing the direction the community is in, knowing the basics of the game we're playing, aware of current events in RS, and so on. Anything beyond that is a gigantic plus, but is largely dependant on the individual's play-style. Siobhana does laid-back cost effective training and knows a lot about that. Leik's a Completionist. Ezkaton, Leik, Ellac, and a few others are brilliant with Dungeoneering and have their ear to the ground for new developments there. Etc etc. I know that if I go in the 200M in all skills thread and I see someone calling another person an idiot, that's clear-cut and any trained moderator will see that. There are some things though that memorizing the rules won't teach you, though. One example: we had a rule for years and years that prohibited users from posting about things obtained via the RS Cache. In most cases, they weren't explaining how to do it or advertising the programs they used. Just simple screenshots that people loved and discussed. And who wouldn't get excited over seeing a new character model for a slayer master? It's tiny things like that which really intrigue the average 'Scaper. Thanks to the pushing of some RuneScape active moderators (in-game and on the forums) the staff decided to finally re-evaluate this dinosaur guideline, check with Jagex to make sure it's not against the rules and forced them to take a public stance. Now they're allowed to be posted. It wouldn't have been possible if those people weren't aware of the community's needs and desires and were simply trained letter-of-the-laws who never really cared about RuneScape. In a less idealistic turn on things, most of the violations we see in a day-to-day basis require some level of current game knowledge to deal with appropriately. 'Dealing with things appropriately' isn't just determining what has to be removed and what doesn't. Like you pointed out correctly, assuming all reports were correct (sadly they aren't) the community can point things like these out faster than a moderator could spot them on their own! But the process is so much more than that. It's not supposed to be simply a naughty-corner experience. It's supposed to be a learning experience. The ideal hope is that after contacting anyone, that the same thing doesn't have to be dealt with again. Simply slapping them with a generic warning copied and pasted from a text pad isn't sufficient. You have to be able to identify what was wrong, explain why it was wrong, and advise them on how they can avoid it for the future. If it's RS related, you can't do that if you don't have at least some basic understanding on how the game works. And to do anything less is a failure on our part as moderators. And as several others before me explained in waaay better detail than I ever could, not everyone is able to be a moderator. To help achieve a higher level of consistency and service--because users are 'king' here--they have to be suitable for the role. Otherwise, it's a very dangerous practice to rely upon users to solely point out to us why things are bad, or where the bad things are.

Ask your ISP or stop seeding your torrents.

I didn't think I'd get anything done on scape, since my boyfriend was over the past two days, but hey! Shocker!

I doubt you're being DDoS'd if the quality of your connection is still that good.

That was a strange abortion of V for Vendetta and Doctor Who

hike your ass there or break an astral tab like everyone else pleb As much as I love the use of plebeian in everyday discussion, with the introduction of the Wicked Hood it lost all reason for maintaining those restrictions...especially considering the Wicked Hood teleport or the Home/Moonclan teleport didn't require the Seal but a teletab did. It was just really horribly inconsistent, both mechanically and lore-wise.

Nope, still don't give a damn. Console master race.

-Eluned has been added to the NPC contact spell. -Wizard Cromperty now has a right-click "Collect" option for claiming daily runes and pure essence. -The Gorilla mask can now be stored in players' Fancy Dress boxes. -The XP reward for performing in The Pit has been increased. -There is now a make-x interface for splitting granite and sandstone. -There is now a warning about when anti-poison is about to wear off. -It is now possible to enter the Crafting guild without an apron with the Hard Falador task set complete. -The Vecna skull now announces when it is recharged. -Beast of burden familiars can now hold untradeable potions/flasks. GOD THERE IS SO MANY GOOD THINGS ABOUT THIS UPDATE. This update deserves a 10/10. There's so many great little things that appeal to everyone even if you can't use the red sandstone thing. There's no reason to hate on this update.

How did you manage that :(

Feel better, Lokie. :(
