There's your problem.

Unless there's something I'm missing, how are you not going to get scammed here?

How much faster do slayer monsters respawn now?

lol baby trolls look like pikmin

What a great example of how not to be a man in a relationship (and life in general...) Lying, and then paying $500 to help cover up the lie, all to impress a stranger, and to keep your girlfriend interested (who's probably cheating on him anyways) Somebody slap some sense into this guy! lol Kinda sad knowing that this kind of behavior is not uncommon among most men in the modern world :( :wall:

Terminate the friendship/relationship. It'll make you stronger in the long run. You can always "restart" it after a few/several months when the feelings have subsided on both sides. Tested extensively.

Why would you use a skill cape... use a God cape instead. Magic attack bonus important. Prayer bonus is more important-- he's only 52 prayer. It's all about finding a balance between defense, prayer, and offense in the caves. Prayer > offense > defense in his case.

A close friend of mine was having a bad day at the arena. He challenged me to stake, first for 7M. I won. Then 14M. I won again >_> But I felt really guilty having won money at my friend's expense, so I gave him the 14M back. He was at 8 losses in a row at this point too :\ He asked me if I wanted to do a 50M stake. I told him I'd feel bad winning that much off of him, but he assured me he wouldn't really care. Considering I don't really care about my GP either since everything I'd like to own costs hundreds of millions of GP, I agreed to stake him. It's a good thing that both of us understand that your cash pile and bank aren't correlated with your enjoyment of RS :D Time to let this money sit in my bank for a while and grow some cobwebs till I can figure out what to do w/ it >_> (he wouldn't let me give it back to him haha)

dat martingale

Is there anything special about the new armor?

You should be........ INDIFFERENT AND CAREFREE :P

Like I said, the enjoyment comes from the process of things. It's like playing an MMORPG-- the pleasure and enjoyment come from the journey to your goals, not actually obtaining the goals. Just think of it as living a life of constant pleasure/enjoyment, without any worries. It's an awesome life to have :D Apparently I've been playing MMO's wrong my whole life :razz: Again-- like I said in my blog, most people never stop to think of why they do the things they do. They want things that they don't have, with the assumption that obtaining such things will make them happy. Even if they do get what they want, not only do such things fail to make people happy in the long run; they also cause massive amounts of stress/sadness/anger/frustration/etc when they don't get what they want. Hence, the importance of not caring if whether or not you get what you want and finding pleasure and happiness through alternative means.

I wish they'd make another caves challenge similar to back in 2005 when only the most skilled players could obtain the cape

[insert my usual insensitive anti-monogamy post here, supplemented with nagging about how this wouldn't be an issue if you weren't monogamous]

I'd have to think about that a little deeper to provide some better insight, but right now I'd say I more or less agree with you. Happiness comes from the process of doing things mostly (and not the outcome). The reason why it's important to prevent negative emotions (by not worrying about the outcome), though, is because negative emotions/stimuli affect you with triple the potency compared to positive emotions. It's not a fair, balanced 1:1 ratio of good-bad... your body makes damn sure that you feel like shit if it senses something bad, while only making you feel mildly happy for sensing something equally-positive.

But if you truly don't care about the outcome, you won't be bothered by whatever hole you may fall in to. People are afraid of being carefree. Part of being carefree means being carefree about being carefree... if that makes sense. Yeah-- that's a good way of putting it too

Isn't that what people are supposed to do? Feel? Care? The happiest people in the world enjoy the process of the things they do; they do not care at all about the outcome. They are carefree and happy. Caring about the outcome is what leads to all kinds of bad things. For example, this thread exists because everybody cares too much about the outcome of their relationships. If every man in the world became carefree and stopped caring about the outcome, there would be no such thing as a "needy guy." The friend-zone wouldn't exist either (or at least, nobody would be bothered by it if it did). Just read this if you want a better explanation; I don't wanna have to type it all out again lol

Why do you think that giving a shit is a good thing?

RPG I don't think you're being very realistic within the context of the situation... When it comes to things like this, Jeff's probably better off ignoring his ex and moving on to better things. It'd be different if there was, say, a 50/50 "success" rate when it came to re-initiating contact with his ex. In which case, your advice would be considered optimistic and fine and dandy. But that's not the case. Obviously there's always exceptions, but it's not very smart to go through life always hoping you're a special snowflake and will luckily be an exception to the rule, particularly if things will only get worse if you "try your luck" and lose.

Ah I knew I was forgetting something I'd heard of in the past. Yeah, I've almost got 500 burned from slayer. I'll probably end up training on those instead of skeletons for defense. Does anybody know if it's better XP to kill vyrelords or vyrewatch? Do any of the items from that quest offer a hidden damage boost or anything when fighting vyres? Or should I wear a fury and void instead of Drakan's medallion and the vyre clothes?

So, last time I trained 94-99 defense was when Pest Control was in its prime, lol. Right now, the current plan was to max out attack, and then max out defense, through a combination of slayer and monkey skeletons. I get about 155-160k XP/hour at the monkey skeletons, at the cost of prayer potions and rapier degradation. Since money isn't necessarily an issue for me, I was wondering if there were any alternative defense-training methods I should look into, such as using ice barrage or chins on defensive on the monkey skeletons or at soul wars or something. Would these be better methods? What would the xp/hour and gp/xp be? Any training spots better than any of the ones I mentioned?

Yes and yes.

There's likely reasoning for that though. and I'm not just talking about event: guy was too whiny for girl. Yup. Women just get bored after the honeymoon period wears off. Men are more or less fine unless their partner starts gaining weight or something.
