high school sawed-off chainsaw homemade explosive Not that the FBI would ever believe the creepiest people on a forum dedicated to an online video game would ever do something like that.

[spoiler=Big quote] Do i need to know anything about programming to know how stupid they are being to still be working on content the month it goes live? Seriously, take a month off, get so that their a month ahead, then when you say your going to release something its already done. No delays, no complaints, just a smooth running operation. They way they are currently doing this is very poor, and will continue to put themselfs in these situations. They had no problems taking out aspects of the game that was very well liked for the "better of everyone," despite the endless complaints, so take the time to get ahead of schedule for the "better of everyone." Ya, ilm sure the Runescape kids will love having a month of no updates. Grow up, and stop acting like Jagex needs your advice. You belong in RSOF. Because all of the people on tip.it who pretend to be mature would never complain about it. You belong in RSOF yourself. As do I, for responding. And to be honest, tip.it isn't looking that much better than RSOF after last week's "Update Delayed" thread.

No, the dragon hatchet is no better than the rune hatchet, despite requiring a higher woodcutting level to wield and costing about 100 times as much. It was simply created by Jagex to mess with the heads of gullible woodcutters. Nice catch, those nasty brits couldn't fool you.

lol still waiting for eastern lands How about the conclusion of the MotM series? Its only taken them since the beginning of Runescape so far. They ARE delivering EXACTLY what they say. They never said: this month we PROMISE YOU GET ALL THIS YAY! Hence the disclaimer that is needed for people exactly like you. And two days is completely excusable! There are delays in industry ALL THE TIME, and two days is nothing. If you need new content all the freaking time, go play a game called LIFE. Updates EVERY DAY! You're still going to have to deal with broken promises though. So, tough. The content gets a bit dull and the graphics aren't so great for those of us with old graphics cards, but I hear they have weather, bloom lighting, and, AMG, SAILING!!!11spam@

You would have to move to the UK, as they have no offices anywhere else and they've said they prefer to keep all their employees together. If you're really that interested, you could check out Jagex's web site, where I believe they list the types of people they would hire. http://www.jagex.com/careers "Applicants must able to work in the United Kingdom. Proof of eligibility to work in the UK will be required should your application be processed." Click the vacancies tab. On a slightly unrelated note, "IMPORTANT NOTE: Due to the extremely high volume of applications that Jagex receives, we are unable to provide candidates with individual feedback following initial application. If you have not received a response from us within 3 weeks, please assume that your application has been unsuccessful." You better hope the bot that handles job applications is more intelligent than the bot that handles ban appeals.

It's on the Runescape homepage and the Future Updates forum on RSOF.

This confirms that the meerkats in the twitter pic are a reward, and not part of a clue. Should be fun to have new pets, but they definitely need to expand the POH pet house capacity.

Looks like the only change. Does this mean the TT won't be released tomorrow?

Most interesting update this month for me looks like last month's TT update. Should be interesting to have two game updates tomorrow though.

Not far from the village, the trees stand tall and proud, as of yet untouched by the fire. The thick foliage restricts the sunlight, casting an eerie glow over the scene. Long vines cling to the trees, growing up and hanging down in every free space. Thorny bushes and exotic plants sit heavily on the ground, leaving not a single bare patch. The bushes tremble, and the scaly back of a large snake slides through the undergrowth. As it moves, one might even imagine it whispering, "No godmodding, please, Edelweiss", but that would just be one's imagination. It ascends the rough bark of a nearby tree, wrapping its powerful body around the thick trunk, and its yellowish-green scales flash in the dim light. Fifty feet up, it casts a sharp eye around, looking for a stray bird to serve as a midday meal. The snake coils around a branch to wait for its prey. Upon closer examination, that branch appears to be not a part of the tree, but in fact the leg of a human being. The Painted Man stands, naked but for the belt around his waist and the greenish-brown paint covering his body, without flinching from the poisonous reptile. His precarious balance on the branch would be threatened by any unintentional move, but he knows that. Each muscle straining as he expertly mantains his balance, he sniffs the air, trying to identify the smoky smell and the origin of the distant screams. Aware that anyone leaving the village must pass by his perch, the Painted Man decides to remain in the tree. He keeps a watchful eye to the ground below, patiently awaiting the arrival of his prey.

1) You can't learn about writing, or more importantly good writing, from reading your own work. 2) People who work in publishing are interested in reading anyway. They tend to be readers first and foremost and that is what leads them in the world of publishing in almost every case I've come across. People don't get into publishing if they don't read. For the record, I have a degree in Publishing which is why I can comment with a certain amount of authority. well you can't really learn writing. creative writing classes are crap. i'm a writer and a reader but i read more than i write but i think someone can be a good writer just by writing often The best way to learn to write is to just write, and enjoy it. It's hard to enjoy writing if you don't enjoy reading, and reading is pretty much necessary if you want to be able to write well. In the end, however, all one really needs to do to be a writer is write.

Get out now. Trust me on this one. Judging by your post, you seem to have the option to leave legally, and if I were you I would do it ASAP. You are on a plane with no engines and no pilot, and it will slowly spiral downward until you have nowhere left to go. Occasionally, the wind might blow and lift your wings a little, and everything won't seem so bad, but the only real solution is to get your feet on the ground and start walking. Your disagreements will work themselves out with time, but you need to distance yourself to prevent any real damage.

"If you wish to converse with me, define your terms" -Socrates If you are asking about some semi-invisble misty thing that flies away when one dies, or a sort of "spirit" that goes to paradise at the end of a life, then I would say there is no soul. However, many would say that the soul is simply a metaphorical representation of the "self" - that part of us that we feel makes us individual. Being an atheist, I would say our supposed individuality is a product of our inability to admit that humans are nothing more than animals and our consciousnesses completely cease to exist when we die. For me, the soul is a tool for the poets and the believers. It is a way of expressing one's need to be more than a statistic - a thought, and perhaps a folly, but not an object.

Those aren't flaws. You're telling me you're named after one of the best Stephen King characters evar and the best you can do is "sweaty hands"?

Definitely Man vs Nature. I understand why you would think it was Man vs Self, seeing as these are diseases that are caused by a neglect of oneself, but the important thing is that they are external. A Man vs Self conflict is normally internal, meaning the character is conflicted or has an ugly trait that he/she wishes to overcome. These conflicts are usually resolved with a large decision or a notable change in thought processes.

Exactly! I haven't Pk'ed in years because of the damn lag. But I guess some people have better connection and don't mind it =/ It's to stop RWT. If there were open spaces in the wilderness, getting some ep and then killing a friend or paid accomplice would be much easier. I actually prefer not having a bunch of pures hanging around in the wilderness every time I want to visit, but I do agree that the current risking PvP just isn't that fun. The new worlds are missing the whole 'thrill of the chase' feeling, and everybody there is specifically looking to kill people, whereas the old wilderness had people running through it for all sorts of reasons.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_explosion Those mushroom clouds really happen. I didn't say it doesn't happen, I said it's unlikely you would be able to see it because it happens in a split second, and you would probably be dead. It doesn't dissipate in a split second. It slowly rises into the upper atmosphere and dissipates over a much longer period of time. Not exactly sure how long, but more than a few minutes. Although if I saw a mushroom cloud I wouldn't be concerned about this argument, I'd have to do something awesome. I like the idea of listening to Tool, but I think I'd listen to the song Right In Two, I find it a very fitting song to hear in a situation like this. Only problem is it's 9 minutes long.. [/hide] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FfoQsZa8F1c :o :o :o :o wut Is that slow motion? Ok, you have a convert. If I saw that IRL I would probably just stare at it. Then I'd turn on the TV to see what exactly was blown up, and which Middle Eastern country we were going to invade because of it.

I'm so lazy to train all this high levels. Maybe, you can get me his pass? Disclaimer: Bentomat does not support account sharing or any other forms of rule breaking. The opinions expressed in this post in no way reflect the opinions of anybody at all.

I'm a bit late to the party here, but the reaction on RSOF is just ridiculous. Seriously, what do these kids (and perhaps adults) get fed in the morning that they go about the day feeling so entitled? More importantly, who cares if Jagex needs a few more days to fix the update? It doesn't really matter if one update gets delayed a bit, especially when the reason for this delay is that there was a legitimate problem with the update. Go buy the majority of Jagex's stock, or get an administrative position, and then you can complain. [spoiler=Big quote] Mommy why are these crybabies using straw man arguments? Because they realize there is no mature way to validate their rage at a week delay on a video game, honey. By the way, $90,000 would equate to approximately 18,000 accounts quitting over this, or all of Jagex's world servers exploding simultaneously many times over. I know Geoff Iddison holds a grudge, but I don't think he has access to the kind of explosives you'd need to cause damage on that level. Please clarify the original point then; I don't quite see how that can be viewed as a straw man argument. I used that example because my previous boss was fired for that exact reason-- a simple mistake which cost the company dozens of thousands of dollars. Using "they're only human" is not a strong argument here. I don't understand how employees at Jagex can still have jobs if they consistently keep botching updates. A straw man argument is when the original problem is replaced with a theoretical problem of questionable relativity. The argument can be easily destroyed by pointing out that the substitution is entirely irrelevant, or at least disproportionate. Jagex needed a bit more time for an update, and you're talking about losing $90k and some other ridiculous thing about "withholding our precious updates". Generalizations based on one small isolated event (which was already blown out of proportion to begin with) are always fun to read, but they really have no place in intelligent discussion. Jagex releases updates when it feels updates are ready, and over the years it has consistently managed to release content that the majority of players are satisfied with. The fact of the matter is that it does not "consistently keep botching updates", this is just your own opinion. If this is what you truly believe, I would reccommend that you stop reading RSOF. Oh, and on a more pleasant note, I look forward to seeing what Jagex will do with this new graphics update. Some sort of angelic/demonic wings that extend beyond one square could potentially be quite interesting.

I'm sorry, you all are better in formed on this stuff than I am. It was my belief that explosions outside of movies lasted only a fraction of a second, so if you were within the blast radius you would already be dead.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_explosion Those mushroom clouds really happen. I didn't say it doesn't happen, I said it's unlikely you would be able to see it because it happens in a split second, and you would probably be dead.

It would be hard to find the right time, but if you are with a group of people and find a way to subtly work it into the conversation, mention how you dislike girls with moustaches. Don't make her feel insecure about it, but try to say it in a general way. That way, if next time you see her it's gone, you'll know she's making an effort to be attractive to you. Perhaps you might mention that "There are plenty of women who shave, men aren't the only ones" or something. The important thing is not to seem like a douche while you do it.

XxBong$moka420xX and the likes are everywhere... Are they usually 12-18 and try to act tough? Hate those guys. Crowning example of why the rating on the game's box is to be obeyed... :razz: Tbh anyone who puts XX or iIi or any of that junk in his name needs to go spend some time talking to people irl. Gamers these days just can't be bothered to be creative.
