Alright grimy is working swell in terms of cost efficiency but I looked at prayer pots.. if the ranar costs about 11k, and the prayer pot (3) sells for 9.6k... that's spending 1.4k (not counting cost for vial and snapes) for 97xp total. That doesn't sound financially good to me, or is that still relatively good for herblore?

Any specific herbs? I'll keep that in mind, thank you.

Well I've been wanting to get herblore up (I have 59 Herby at the moment) but the question that's been getting in my way: 1. I'm buying all the materials. 2. Just give me methods where I lose the least amount of money 3. Feel free to give me methods from 59-99 since I'll be copy-pasting all the answers into a word document so I won't ever have to ask again. 4. Give any advice as long as it has to do with Herblore. Thanks much! <3:

What would be ways to make the system fair then in a Runescape clan?

Well the obvious positive is giving clanmembers the ability to elect their leaders for a certain amount of time, and than after that time passes, there's another election for the spot. It keeps leadership positions filled with fresh people who actually campaign to win votes to be elected. The obvious negative is that people might only vote for a candidate because the voter likes that candidate (popularity contest) or because that person is a high level. The other incredibly obvious negative would be drama too.. Need any more elaboration? Yeah well I don't see it fit, if you are relating to term based officals like Neltak just stated. I think officals aren't really needed in a clan until some one steps down or can no longer do their job / goes in active / demoted w/e the reasoning is. It should rarely happen and I think the current staff should be able to make some requirements before you allow people to "campaign" for the opening spot. If you allow anyone in the clan to app for this new rank opening then you could potentially choose some one not even qualified, or even a spy. So to answer the OP's questions I'd have to say the negatives out weigh the positives. Usually the clans I've seen have a time requirement or a rank requirement that the person who wants to get elected has to meet.

Spot on about the structure. The type of clan I'm thinking of is like an all around community clan that does stuff like warring, PVM/PVP events, skilling events, etc. Also most clans I see using this structure usually has a figurehead leader that is a permanent seat and when that leader resigns, he/she picks who will become the next figurehead leader and usually this leader appoints the warlords or whatever they're called to lead wars.

I really havn't seen this with fansite clans as much as Runescape Official Forums clans, but do you think the negatives outweigh the positives for clan politics? Such as the clan electing its own officials, and then those officials making the decisions, etc. And while we're at it, what would happen if someone made a clan based off the United States Constitution and government? :blink:

Me too haha!

I hate Bono because just like the Dixie Chicks, he needs to shut up and sing. I like all the other guys in U2 though. They mind their own business - and that is the music. Here's the thing with U2's music though.. There is NO ALBUM I can stand that is by U2. I love plenty of songs by them but can never listen to one album by them all the way through without cringing. I think U2 is a great song band, an even more amazing live band, but when it comes to whole studio albums, they're, as you say, atrocious in regards to just the albums as a whole being boring.

I'll post the rest tomorrow most likely.

No I don't have audio links. :( I'm adding more lyrics as we speak by the way.

I had written a few songs when I was 10 (starting in 2002). None of them were really good, but when I heard "Mammoth" by Interpol in summer 2007, I was so jealous, I stole almost all the lyrics, added some of my own, and that's how my actual start in lyric writing started. For the next year and a half, all my songs were essentially stealing from other famous songs and melting them along with my own lines. The songs that were purely original were indeed crap, until I was in English in December 2008 and I wrote a song. That song was the beginning of my modern lyric writing. Since Dec. 08, I've written probably about 200 songs. As of right now I only have 18 songs, and 3 songs I've been trying to develop. (I'm often my own harshest critic as you can tell that I've only kept 10% of my songs just counting from Dec. 08) At the time of this topic, I've had a writer's block lasting for the better part of the last 3 months. PLEASE post your opinions! A Colour Scene (Like A Supernova) Dec. 08 Where is Somewhere? Feb. 09 Function May 20th, 2009 -Not one of my best, yet it is one of my favorites Satellites May 22nd, 2009 -One of my favorites because of it's simplicity and effectiveness. Have tried to match this song's simplicity many times since but have always failed. Move On June 3, 2009 Stay Young June 14th, 2009 Every Fire Escape July 25, 2009 Diminished September 8, 2009 Out Here (Desert) October 6, 2009 Elements October 8, 2009 The Edge of the World October 12, 2009 -My best song. I had been doing homework all the way up to 5:30 AM in the morning on the 12th, and when I finished I felt like writing a song. This was the first song that I wrote on the computer instead of paper and the only song that I've never had to go back and edit/change. I was dead tired but only took 30 minutes to write it. Damn proud of this one, especially considering the circumstances. The Middle Distance October 16, 2009 -If "Edge of the World" is my best, then this is my favorite. The first verse came from a crap song I wrote on June 3rd 2009, but I liked the first verse enough to where I kept it when I tossed out the song. For the next four months I tried to add a chorus and a second verse but it NEVER happened. Then on October 15, I added the first two lines of the chorus that I had made up on the spot while looking at the song. The next day, the song was finished. This is the first song I've written with plans for background vocals (in parentheses). It's not great but it's the most work I've ever had to put into a song

Found this chapter I wrote like... 6 months ago? This was to be the first chapter to a book I was writing about young Brian Cadence, a wealthy politician, hated by his own nation of Trenaria due to the propaganda of the government spread against his family and other elite families of the semi-autonomous Trenarien region of Revana. The book was to deal with how the government eventually decides to assassinate him and he has to stay one step ahead. This chapter was supposed to lay down some valuable foundations for backstories, especially Tony. I eventually ran out of free time, and right now this is all I managed to write. I have a working idea of what the environment and technology of the world is in my head. It's not at all like Earth. But it's all in my head and if I tried to explain it my head would hurt trying to remember all the stuff I made up for this.

I be jealous of some of these songs. But you just inspired me to put my own up, so I can forgive the fact you're better than me! =D>

Top 8 of 2000-2009 Because I couldn't think of 10 albums that I like every song on and can listen all the way through over and over. Amy Macdonald: This is the Life Coldplay: Viva La Vida Editors: In This Light and On this Evening Ian Brown: My Way Mark Knopfler: Sailing to Philadelphia Mutemath: Armistice R.E.M. : Live at the Olympia The Good, the Bad, and the Queen: The Good, the Bad, and the Queen

Ocean Colour Scene: The Riverboat Song (Live at Stirling Castle, 1998)

I felt like I just looked at a load of hogwash even though I saw some bands on there I like.. No Editors?? No Ocean Colour Scene? How did Oasis: Stop Crying Your Heart Out even make that list? Crap, just pure crap.

Toad the Wet Sprocket (good band, bad name)

The 90's. I was born in 92, I remember all the TV and stuff. But by far I loved the music of the 90's more. Now here's the catch, I didn't start listening to 90's music til 2005... But here's the bands that were in the 90's and just kicked [wagon].. R.E.M. Ocean Colour Scene Sarah McLachlan Oasis Elastica Blur I'm going to stop because this list would go on for a very very long time.. But I do not like grunge. Nihilism and self-loathing were never my thing.

Chris Wolstenholme (Muse) Peter Hook (Joy Division, New Order) Adam Clayton (U2) Yes I know that Adam Clayton isn't really a great bassist but I love listening to his bass lines. Even though The Edge writes all the bass lines for him. :shock:

I've never been in any clans besides ones on the drama-filled Runescape Official Forums... and I don't want to name them. People might be watching. Clan #1 I won't be remembered. Winners write the history books, and I failed to overthrow the corrupt leadership through peaceful means. (The clan had a council that could vote on changing things. I led the council along with a friend to vote to remove the leader which we did, but he managed to save face and portray us negatively, and eventually overthrew us by threatening war with a coalition of clans who he was friends with. Clan #2 I founded this clan (which lasted for over a year) and I am remembered for all the things I didn't do. I had been accused of trying to overthrow the clan, trying to change things in the clan without telling anyone, being "sick with ego trip nerd rage power," and being a good for nothing tool. I finally resigned as leader due to the idiocy, immaturity, and general lack of responsibility among the members. What I really did was run a tight ship when I was leader, enforcing rules for everyone with no special treatment, and create most of the systems the clan used til it fell apart. In the twilight years of the clan, the people decided to remove all things I made - forum post styles, history, systems that helped the clan run smoother, etc. Wouldn't change a thing with either of those clans since I've been vindicated through time. Those who remember me from Clan #1 don't see me as the power hungry rebel I was portrayed as, but more as someone who was trying to do what I thought was best for the clan, and those in Clan #2 had a rough time without me as leader, finally just collapsing. Ever since I've stayed out of clans and have no desire to be in one at the moment. Clans are more trouble than good. And yes, I know now what people mean when they say only kids are in the RS forum clans.

This made me laugh and not many things about Runescape can make me laugh. My story is where I made a level 3 girl back in 2006, before the trade limit, just for fun. I asked to be people's BF and got about 50k out of it until I saw this level 98, and said "You need a GF?". He said "Yes! I've been looking for one." Fifteen minutes later, he gave me full black, gold trim. I was shocked. He then told me to start training so I could kill his ex girlfriend in the wilderness. That's when I said "Crap I have to go." Logged out and made sure I never saw him again. It was creepy that he wanted me to kill his in-game ex.. For those of you who say I'm a freak, I was only doing it to test how people who actually do it feel and stuff like that. An experiment. For those of you moralists who said I scammed him, it will make you feel better to know that when I transferred the armor to my main, it got hacked a month later and everything on the account was gone. Karma is a [bleep]. Now on-topic. About two and a half years ago I met a girl on Runescape. We became fast friends and shared all of what happened in our lives. She's the only person I let see the lyrics I write for my songs, and I've even written some with her. About a few months ago, her parents unbanned her from Facebook, and so we added each other. (Yes, she's an actual girl and is my age.) We then started talking on the phone (I found out she lives about 1500 miles away from me). We both enjoy talking to each other about life, what's happening in our lives and the world, and just talking in general. Now I'm not saying she's my girlfriend, because I don't believe that two people can have a real romantic relationship without meeting each other in person, but I consider her one of my best friends. We occasionally joke around and hit on each other, but both of us know that it's not a relationship. It's a friendship. That's just my experience. Now for my general opinion - the asking of BF's/GF's is rather sad because real life relationships are much more fulfilling. I'm not saying you can't develop a healthy, good friendship through Runescape, but you definitely can't have a real romantic relationship over Runescape. Most of the people that do in game relationships are either trying to compensate for something missing in their lives, trying to satisfy some sick fetish, or are heavily into role playing. I normally just ignore it when it happens, unless the person asking is being rude, vulgar, or harassing the person after being told "no" or "stop".
