"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I'm almost certain they would never cut me off. My sister has screwed up worse than me and they never cut her off. Butttt, im a guy, so they might not just threaten. There's always the smallest of chances my dad might decide enough is enough. I don't know.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Okay so the only problem with this is: 1.) My course is going to be anywhere from 2 months to 8 months and i'll be done. So that leaves very little time to actually "date" anyone. Another thing is that i'll be busy pretty much 9 - 5 over week days. Weekends are too hard to predict. 2.) My best bet at getting a good job is in Qatar. Chances of finding a job in the US, as a non-citizen, as a pilot, are very slim. If i do, it's going to be like a $36k job. If i work in Qatar i will start at like $60k tax free. As much as i hate to chase money, i would much rather work in Qatar than in the US. 3.) Since i go to an Aviation school, it's kinda logic that 95% of the people there are guys. 4% are ugly girls (or girls i have no attraction to at least), and 1% is fairly attractive, which means 93% of the guys in that school will be swarming her like flies swarm fresh shit. 4.) The town i study in is small. Everyone there knows that if you have a foreign accent, you're studying aviation. Girls there know that especially. Girls also know that it means you're only going to be there for a short period. So they won't even consider to date you, really. I've spent about 18 months there already and in that entire time i met like 8 or 9 girls in total (by meet i mean went on at least 1 date). The girls who actually date "pilots" there, are usually gold diggers as well, which makes it rally unattractive. So dating in the US isn't a great option either. I agree that dating in Qatar can be a very unattractive option. But truth be told, i know that once i start working here, and i move out, my life will become so much easier because i'll once again have the freedom i have become used to having the past 18 months. If i'm out of the house, regardless of how far i live from my parents, they really have no say over what i do/who i date. Once i'm out of the house it's their play. If they choose to not have a relationship with me then, well it's on their heads. Ultimately i want to keep contact with my parents. They are my parents. I do love them. But, that being said, if they choose to not accept my choices (especially over something so trivial as a skin colour), then i really could not be bothered to see them. I have always "hated" racists. I will not treat them any different just because they are my parents. I have a great relationship with them for the most part, and it's something i don't really want to give up. But if it comes down to that, then i will. Also i forgot to mention this but whether i date in the US or in Qatar, my situation will not change much. While i was there, the only thing close to a decent relationship i had was with a mexican girl. Again, she's not white, so my parents would not have liked that. If things ended up getting serious and i got married to her, etc. I would have been exactly where i am now. Only difference would have been that by that time i would have been living in my own house and i would have had a job. So they would not have any financial hold over me, but they would still give me the "her or us" ultimatum.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Sadly if i could do that, i would. But i'm 100% certain that even if i could that would 100% cause my parents to cut me off no matter what. Also, in the country i live in, it's not legal for me to live with them.

22-Jul-2013 - RuneScape 3!
I'm happy about the quick fixes to some small, yet annoying issues with the release of RS3. Only thing i want fixed now is the XP counter that doesn't stay hidden after you log back in, and the chatbox that messes up while doing certain things.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Russian roulette is usually another. Kinda have to agree with this. I don't think that the role my parents play in this relationship (wow that sounds so stupid to say) is in any way a good contribution to our relationship. Like, it's an enormous strain. It's frustrating, because whenever i do something a bit out of the ordinary (something they would consider to be "disrespectful") they assume it's because of her. Like, i've been living on my own for a year and a half now. I have my own habits and routines. I'm used to picking up my car keys and heading out whenever i feel like it, till whatever time i feel like it. That's the way i lived in the US this past year and a half. But now that i'm back here temporarily i have to live by their rules again. So i need to "ask" before i go out, and i need to be home at a "decent" time. So whenever i come home at like 4am instead of 2am, they blame it on her. They say "Oh, he went to see HER again. She probably MADE him stay out this late." And that is something i REALLY hate about them. I am my own person, and i go home when i want to. On the other hand though, she (as in my girlfriend) sometimes thinks the same way too. If i choose to go home at 12am or 1am, instead of 2am or 3am, she thinks it's because my parents are making me go home that early. It's all turned into a blame game now. I've leaned how to look past this though, because i've had to deal with similar issues because of my sister. So i already know how to get around this. But it's still very frustrating when it happens sometimes. A few days ago my and my parents got into an argument about my girlfriend. My parents told me that they were unhappy that i am dating someone non-white. They told me that it is not they way they raised me. I told them they raised me as a christian, and as long as i live (even though i consider myself agnostic now) i will live my life according to religious morals (to a certain extent at least). I do not believe in God, but i do believe in Good Orderly Direction. And to me that means being colorblind. I do not see color in the sense that white is wonderful and everything else is bad. But that being said, something in me just makes me more attracted to darker skin. I don't know what it is. But ever since the age of 13, when i really started liking girls, i liked girls with a darker skin more. And lately i have almost no attraction to white girls anymore. I still think there are some of them that are insanely hot, but i can't see myself spending my life with one. So i told them that if i was to live my life they way they wanted it, i would end up being single for the rest of my life. Because i am not going to marry a white girl. Simple as that. In some ways i think my parents really think about the things i say now, though. Because shortly after i had this conversation with my parents, i overheard my dad telling my mom the one night that "maybe it is time we start accepting". I don't take things like that too serious though, because i know my dad changes his mood from day to day. But it's still a very fragile topic in our house, and always one i fear to bring up. I'm going away on family vacation in 6 hours. 3 weeks with my sister and parents. I guess sometime during this trip my relationship is going to be brought up. I just hope that when it is brought up, i can talk to them about it in a civil manner. I don't want it to turn out to be a shouting contest. I guess i just want them to understand that i'll always bring a brown girl home. She's either going to be South American brown, or Asian/Middle Eastern brown (meaning Indian/Pakistani/Arabic). They're never going to have a white daughter in-law. So whether or not they accept my current girlfriend isn't going to change the way i choose my next one. Another thing they need to realise is that if they continue to go down their current path, the moment i get a job i'll be out of the house and they won't ever see my again. If they choose to be more accepting, they will continue to see me. I guess basically what i'm getting at is that whether or not you guys think i'm causing myself a lot of inconvenience with this doesn't really make any difference to my situation. Even if i choose to break up with my current girlfriend or not, i'm going to have the same issue down the road. So "you need to decide if this girl is worth the trouble or not" doesn't really work in this case because if i break up with her and start dating someone else, the same thing will happen. So it's more a situation of "you need to decide if you want to lose your parents (possibly), date a while girl and never be happy about it, or stay single for a veeeeeeeeeeeeeery long time".

22-Jul-2013 - RuneScape 3!
I'm kinda surprised how well RS3 works on the 1st day of release. A few things have been annoying me. -Actionbar sometimes stops working, unless i click on it with the mouse. Kind of annoying. -Interfaces completely vanish when you click on the World Map and immediately on something else. World Map doesn't open, but everything else vanishes. -Interfaces get messed up completely when you click on a Diseased Livid.

You know, not everyone is technical enough to build one. Even if you say it's easy some people just aren't meant to touch electronics or parts, or won't touch them. Yep. IMO, if i built a gaming PC it would be a BIG money waste. I'd have to build it 3 times over before i stopped screwing up.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Her financial situation is extremely weird. Her mom works, her dad doesn't. Her mom barely makes enough to pay the bills, so my girlfriend works to help with the bills. Recently her mom took a huge sum of money from my girlfriend to pay for one of her sisters' college. Her dad has no interest in working. Her mom loves her dad too much to divorce him. It's a messy situation. She's unhappy about the situation, but until she get's a better job she can't do anything about it. She can't move out of the house, because renting anything in this country is stupidly overpriced. She's kind of trapped at the moment.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I'm not saying "abandon all hope"; I'm saying that assuming I am correct, act accordingly. This means don't make stupid decisions, compromises, or sacrifices which will eventually have been in vain. If you want to get married, get a prenup. If you want to move in together, don't co-own anything. If you want to stay with her for a very long time, make a list of things which you will and will not compromise on, ever, because you know deep down that doing so would be a mistake. Prioritizing a relationship over everything else in your life (especially your own happiness) never works out well. Whether you like it or not, this special girl of yours is completely replaceable (and IMO temporary). The same cannot be said for your parents. Makes me wonder if they've ever cheated on each other :P Glad to see you've planned financially in that aspect. Do you plan on getting a prenup? Have you looked into how alimony works in your area? Are you ok with going without sex for months at a time if your wife doesn't feel like it? Are you ok with not being able to see other women under such circumstances? What are you going to do if your wife starts getting fat and grumpy? To be honest i am 100% certain my mom would never, and could never cheat on my dad. My dad though, i can't say. I've seen him cry over my mom before, and he's fought for her a lot. But he's been on a lot of business trips throughout his life, so i guess i won't ever really know. And yeah, me and her actually said that one day if we do get married, we will get a prenub. I suggested it the one day, she was pissed at me for a week because "i'm already setting a non-existing marriage up for failure" but then she realized that it's not really a big deal. I'm not sure how to answer the "no sex for a long time" question. But right now i guess you could say our sex-life is healthy. We both have a healthy appetite. Can't say how that will change in the future. I'm not sure how i would feel about going without sex for a while. My girlfriend is already grumpy, so can't really say i would do much about that. As for her getting fat... she's extremely weight conscious. I don't think she'd ever really get "fat". If she did, i guess i'll have to deal with it then. And... i know she is replaceable. We actually spoke about this the other day. I told her that she's not the prettiest girl in the world, and she's by a long shot not the most perfect girl in the world for me either. I'd be lying to her if i told her she was either of those. But the reason i want her over anyone i have ever met is exactly because she's not perfect for me. We teach each other a lot of things. Her taste in music and movies differs so much from mine, but over this past week i've seen movies that are absolutely brilliant because i watched them with her. I would have never even considered watching them on my own. We have gone to places i would never have thought of going, but ended up loving. Nothing will ever be perfect, and we are probably as far away from perfect as you would ever get, but we just work well together. Like i've said, the only problem is my parents. I do not approve of how they want to control who i love. Whether it's with her, or someone else. Sooner or later i'm going to walk that road, and i'd much rather it be now and not 10 years from now. I just don't know how...

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Look, the situation with my parents is something that has bothered me for the past 4 years. The only way i could ever make them approve of any of my relationships is if i come home with a white girl. Sadly, i am not as attracted to white girls as i am to "darker" girls. That is just my personal preference, and a preference they do not agree with. So, ultimately, i'm going to end up with the same issue i have now. Whether it's now, or 10 years down the line, i'm going to have the same problem. Sooner or later i'm going to get the "her or us" ultimatum from them, it might just be with a different girl. But i WILL end up in the exact same position. It's something me and my sister has struggled with for a very long time now (she is dating an arabic guy, and they don't approve of him either). My girlfriend isn't angry that i spend more time with my parents than i do with her, because i actually spend a lot more time with her than i do with them. What she's angry about, is that fact that i give in to them as easily as i do, and always at the most inconvenient of times. I would go over to her house, pick her up, and we would make our way out. We would be out for dinner, waiting for our food to arrive, and i would get a call from one of my parents saying they need me home NOW, with some bullshit excuse. I'd argue with them, over the phone, for a few minutes. This would lead to the same speech as always (kick you out of the house, cut you off, etc.) and to avoid any further flames, i would give in and go home to take care of the drama. The drama would be extremely stupid and lengthy, and i would end up spending 1 - 2 hours at home fighting with them. After this i'm pretty much not in any sort of mood to go out. My girlfriend would get angry at this. She told me the other day that if the issues i got called home for were actually reasons and not excuses, she wouldn't have a care in the world. But the fact that i know they're calling me home for bullshit, but i still decide to go anyway...well that's what annoys her. Especially since she knows my dad has invested way too much money in me and my flying course to cut me off right now. I do think you are right about her having to accept the situation existing. That's something i wish too. I've told her a few times that the situation only exists because i still live in their house. As soon as i move out, which will more than likely be the day i finish my course, things will change because i won't have to rely on them for survival any more. I think she understands this, but is frustrated that it's taking so long. I am too, in all honesty, but i guess i deal with it a bit better than she does?

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Okay so basically you're saying that there's a "chance", however big or small it may be, that everything you're saying will in fact one day become my reality. You believe that it's more probable for it to happen rather than a "happily-ever-after". Therefor i should abandon all hope now, before it's too late? Assuming that this is correct, aren't you telling me to run away from something just because it MIGHT not turn out the way i hope? Heck, then i might as well quit school now and become a hobo, because my career also MIGHT not turn out the way i have it all planned in my head. Also, my parents ([bleep]ed up as they are), have been married for almost 28 years now. I know very well that 4-5 nights a week, when they go to bed, i should stay clear of their bedroom door for an hour or two to avoid nightmares. It's been 28 years and they're more active than me and my girlfriend are at the moment. My dad is an accountant. He's more than provided for his family. Okay, we're only two children. No big deal. But even if we were 7 children we would still be able to afford our current lifestyle. I plan on being a pilot, in the middle east. 10 years from now, assuming all goes well, i'll have a ~$250k salary in a tax free country. Pretty sure that's more than enough to provide a middle-class lifestyle. I'm not saying i'm going to have 5 kids, as i said it's just a number. But even if i did have 5 kids, i think i'd do alright (again, assuming things go according to my 10-year plan). Many variables come into play no matter how you choose to look at it (from a mono or poly point of view). There will always be that one mono couple that dies at the age of 90 while having sex. And there will always be that one poly couple that dies at the age of 70 of a stoke induced by a rage-full argument. And i think you totally missed my OP. I think you missed the plot. I was not asking for reassurance on anything. Instead, i was asking for advice on how to approach my parents, and by doing so "re-assure" my girlfriend that i'm not their pet, nor do i want to be their pet. As that, at the moment, is the only thing that really concerns me in our relationship (that being my parents' drama). That is why, in my OP, i said this is more of a parental/girlfriend advice post.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
She's never asked me to do anything for her. She's always offered to pay her share of everything when we go out. In fact, in the beginning she always insisted to do so. She's one of the few girls i know of that's done this. Even to this day she will still always offer to pay for her half, even if i take her somewhere outside of her price range. I'd hardly say she craves a lavish lifestyle, and it would be funny if she did because i don't have a single penny to my name till i'm 25/married (which she actually doesn't know of). Point i was trying to make is that she's really the only girl i've even known that's made me feel like i really WANT to do something special for her. Not because i'll get sex out of it, but because her reaction to a surprise dinner or me bringing her some macaroons (her favorite thing on earth) when i go see her makes me strangely...happy.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
1.) Same can be said for any relationship, whether it be mono or poly. And the suffering is because of my parents. The only moments i feel any slight happiness is when i spend time with her, wherever it may be. Also i don't see any of this as a sacrifice. Me telling my parents to stop being ignorant [bleep]s is in no way a sacrifice. 2.) She's a high maintenance girl. She loves being spoiled. She loves it when i do special things for her, because it makes feel like a princess. That is what she always tells me. She wants to be treated like a princess. What girl doesn't? 3,4,5.) How do i go about marrying 5 different women and have 1 kid with each of them? Even if i do not marry them, please explain a scenario where i could be in a relationship (functional) with 5 women (all of them being 100% for the idea) and have kids with all of them while still being able to maintain a 5-9 job, 5 house mortgages (or at least half of 5 mortgages, as their home would be as much theirs as mine if i raise my kid in it), and still have enough time to spend an equal amount of time with each of those (at least) 5 kids. 6.) I take this as an insult. You're saying that every person who chooses to stay monogamous is socially programmed. That is a stupid statement. 7.) Once again, you're implying that a monogamous relationship in the long term is not achievable in today's world. I'm not faulting for your unrealistic disbelief in a " Disney fantasy happily-ever-after story", but i am faulting you for not believing that it is realistic and achievable. It still happens every day, in these modern times. And it's still going to happen for many more centuries. I cannot even begin to understand why you think monogamy is such an insane fantasy. I am really getting the feeling that you have either been really hurt by a girl and now choose to be "hard" on mono, or you're a lot more talk than actual show Either way, you need not give any further "advice" on relationships, as your advice does not apply to me. Actually, it's rather frustrating reading through your dribble.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
Worst of all is now that my mom knows that i'm the one that got my ex pregnant, she assumes that every time i go out, it's to go have sex. So i know where you're coming from, haha. Its petty. I have learned something. I've learned that i could choose to be with one girl and truly be happy. I could devote myself to her. I could make her my princess. And this is really what i want. Or, i could be with several women, have sex with many different women, but never be committed to one. My dream is to have a family. Children. If i have several partners, i can't have the family i desire. I can't raise kids with from 5 different mothers, all of them living in different houses. It's just not going to be logical. It'll be exhausting. And i'm pretty damn sure that it's going to be extremely hard to find 5 women (5 is just a random number, don't look to deep into it), that will be okay with me having kind with 4 other women, raising all of them at the same time, spending the same amount of time with each and every one of them. Your lifestyle is okay if you choose to not have many kind or if you choose to live like a rockstar, but for the average logical person it's an illogical lifestyle. Meaning, if you want the big house, with a green garden, white picket fence, and 2.5 kinds, your lifestyle is not an option. EDIT: I can also say that my desires are not driven by anything other than myself. I do not take any influence from outside. I do not wish to be monogamous for any reason other than personal choice. I am the jealous type, and if i was to enter a polygamous relationship i would be in a constant fight with one of my partners sleeping with other guys, because i would be jealous. It is not a healthy choice for me, as i have experienced. Some people are able to accept it, other's aren't.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
I've got something that's not only a relationship "issue" but also a parental "issue". Once again, prepare for a lengthy read. Okay so as some of you might know, but most of you probably don't, my parents have never accepted the fact that i was/am dating a non-white girl. They are extremely traditional/conservative (yes, this is a polite way of saying they are racist). I grew up in a very white empowering environment. Not only because of my parents, but because of my school and church. I had no black friends when i was in school. In fact, i had no friends that weren't white. Then when we moved to the middle east and i got exposed to other cultures, most of which were non-white cultures, my eyes started opening. I now find myself a lot more attracted to girls with a darker skin. Anyway, to get back on topic. When i came back home in June, i started hanging out with my ex again, and we started talking about things and everything that happened the past year and a half while we were apart. I guess we both realized that we play a big role in each other's lives. I need her in mine for certain reasons, and she needs me in hers for other reasons. While we are not 100% happy about all the reasons, we accept, compromise and adjust. And each and every day things get better and better. We are both still able to be who we want to be without upsetting the other person, and we are starting to accept (get used too) the small things we didn't like a month and a half ago. I think most of what annoyed both of us of the other persons "bad habits" is that it either came to us as a shock that we're doing it, or it's just something we never really had to think about the other person doing. For example, the fact that she smokes weed now. It's something she used to hate, and she hated it even more when i did it. Now i got annoyed when she smoked, because she used to bash me for the same reason. But now that i have actually had the chance to get used to her smoking, and smoked with her, it doesn't bother me the way it did a few weeks ago. But there's one thing that has always been a big crutch on our relationship - my parents. My parents dislike her. They dislike her not for the fact that she's brown, but for the fact that she's brown and dating me. When i introduced her as my friend a few years ago they had no problem with it, the problem only surfaced when i told them i was dating her. This problem has not gone away yet. Now not long ago i told them that no matter what they say or do, i'll keep on seeing her. The only thing that can break the two of us up, is if we fall out of love/one of us cheats/normal relationship issues. But they will NOT be the reason for it. My dad told me that if i ever got married to her, he probably wouldn't be there for the wedding, and probably wouldn't ever speak to me again after that. I told him that's fine by me. If that's how he wants to handle things, then it's his problem not mine. So after i told them that i guess they realized i was serious about this girl. Even more did they realize this after they found out she had an abortion and i was the father. But this also gave them more reason to hate her. They feel like she corrupted me. Like she is not worthy of me. Now, every time i tell them i'm going out, they look at me in a very strange way. They know exactly who i'll be with, and i can see the dislike in their eyes. They try to pretend it's not there, but i can see it. Now the actual problem is this - my girlfriend knows my parents dislike her. And they know my parents would do pretty much anything to keep me from seeing her. They means treating me like a teenager even at the age of 22. They will make up the most absurd reasons to keep me home longer than i need to be, before i can go out. Or they'll make up stupid reasons for me to be home before i really want to be home. If i so much as dare argue with them, or not do as they ask, all hell breaks loose. They are still paying for my education. I have no way of paying for it myself, as it's not exactly a cheap course, and if i had to save up for it myself i would only be able to complete in in 4 or 5 years. So they use that to threaten me. "If you're not home by x-time we're kicking you out of the house and you can pay for your own education." They do this so many times. And i know my dad is stubborn enough to actually follow through with it. So what do i do? I do as they tell me, because i feel like i have no other choice right now. Now this annoys my girlfriend a lot, because she sees this as me being a mamma's boy which it probably is. I try to explain to her the situation, but she doesn't want to understand it. Tonight is a prime example of this. I was planning on buying my mom a gift for her birthday which is soon, and then going to see my girlfriend afterwards. But as i leave the house my dad tells me that i go buy the gift and come straight back home, or he takes away my car keys for the rest of the week. I'm leaving for family holiday with them in 4 days, so i need my car for the rest of the week if i want any sort of chance to see my girlfriend. So i call my girlfriend and tell her what happened. She tells me that i told her this would stop happening, that i wouldn't allow it any more ("this" being my parents controlling me). I tried to explain to her what my thought process was, but i don't know if it really helped. Right now i feel like things between us are going really well, but one thing can still easily pull us apart. And that is my parents. She hates the fact that they control me the way i do, and she thinks i'm not doing enough to stop it. I'm trying my hardest to stop it. I've already broken so many of their rules, i've already done what i could, but my parents are still winning this battle. And it's killing me. I hate every moment i spend in this house because of it, and i fear that if this keeps up much longer she's going to leave me. She told me that it feels like i always choose them over her, which really isn't the case. It's happened a few times, i admit, but most of the times i choose her over them (i just don't tell her that, because usually it's a situation where normal families wouldn't have to choose). I need to find a way to make things a bit more clear, for my parents and for her. I'm pretty sure one big act towards my parents will give them the hint, and that will make her believe that i am serious about telling my parent's to GTFO. This will stop them from trying to control me, and also show her that i don't want them to control me. I'm not sure how much of this makes sense, so feel free to ask if i should clear anything up. Also, my sister told me the other day that my mom talked to her about the abortion. My girlfriend's parents don't know about it. My mom told my sister that she actually wants to send my girlfriend a message over FB telling her that if she does not leave me alone (aka remove herself from my life) she (my mother) would tell my girlfriend's parents about the abortion. I was totally disgusted when i heard this. That my own mother would do something like that (actually i was shocked that it surprised me). Now i know my mom wouldn't do something like this while i'm around, because i would freak out so much. I would tear my family apart. As petty as this sounds, i will ruin my parents. I will get my dad fired from his job, and get them deported from this country if it's the last thing i do. My mom knows this. But i am due to leave back to the US on the 17th of October, and i fear this would be the perfect moment for her to do something like this. I am not sure what i should do about this. I am unsure if i should tell my mom i am aware of what she said to my sister, and tell her that if i ever found out she did what she threatened to do, all hell would break loose. I am so unsure. So much drama over 1 girl. But, guys, she's THE girl. And she knows it. I won't stop fighting for her. Also, after writing this, i realized what a [bleep]ed up family i have. It kind of makes me sad...

Your Ideas Needed!
Well rewards could be pretty fun to play with. Something like reducing the cost of items/their repair. They could go big (and risky) and award an item that upgrades your Chaotics to T85 as an Elite Reward. THis is something i'd love to see. Probably a bit OP though. Increased drop rates for Special Items in a dungeon. Maybe something like extra damage added to your DG weapons. idk.

are these slayer masks worth using daily?
Here's your list: 1. Abyssal Head 2 - 10 Rest of them. As they are all equally useless.

Today...
@ Kaida: I would kill for some 40c right now. Thus far this week it's been 115+ constantly. We even hit 120+ a few times. Humidity ranging from 24% - 50%+. Your 40c feels like winter. Spent the last 4 hours at the police station. I was with a friend and my girlfriend at Starbucks. As we got in the car some jackass opened his door just as my girlfriend tried getting in, and it bumped in to her. He did not stop. He still climbed out of the car and continued to mumble something at her. Me and my friend went off. I started yelling at the guy for being a rude prick, my friend decided to take a different route. He pushed the guy into his own car's back seat and started beating him (my friend has severe rage issues). I told him to stop, but i wasn't going to get involved as i know that once he gets in that state of rage he will pretty much take a swing at anyone in his way. He stopped and called the police (he knows half the police force). We went to jail and my girlfriend and friend were taken to different rooms as i sat in the lobby, seeing as i had nothing to do with the matter according to the police. As i sat in the lobby waiting i was kept company by a Sudanese and Moroccan police officer. They assured me that everything was going to be fine but they had to write police reports and my friend might be in trouble for assaulting the other guy. They asked me where i was from, what i was doing in Qatar. I told them about my flying and stuff, and they asked some questions. Had a pretty good conversation with the two of them. They told me to add them on FB. I knew it would be a VERY bad idea so i just told them i didn't have FB but they told me to take their numbers and if i ever need anything i should give them a call. It's weird, but i guess i'm now part of the cool gang that has contacts at the police station? Eventually they let my girlfriend and my friend out, after threatening to make my friend spend a night in jail. He should have, but because he knows too many people there they let him off without as much as a warning. They wanted to send the Indian guy who bumped into my girlfriend on the next plane to India, aka deport him. But we decided to not press any charges. I know this all sounds very over the top, and it really is, but things like touching a woman is taken very seriously in an Arabic country. Was she a Muslim woman he would have been deported no doubt. But anyway, we asked them to let him go and not harm him any more. They said they would have to let his employer know about what happened tonight and chances are pretty much 100% that he's going to lose his job over it because he now has an official criminal warning against his name. I kind of feel bad for the guy. He looked like he was about my age. Wrong place, wrong time. I asked the police officer to treat him nice. I went to McDonalds as well, while they were in the rooms, to get the Indian guy some food because he has to stop eating at 4:25 because that is when they start fasting. They didn't him to eat but i asked them nicely and they allowed him to eat the food. I would not have felt right knowing that because of this shit he missed his last meal before a ~12 day without food. And all of this just because he's Indian. Anyway... i suppose this post is a bit all over the place and rather confusing, but it has been 24 hours since i got some sleep and it was a bit of a crazy day...

Binds @ 120.
Not going to argue with anything, but just some things i'm curious about. Why choose Plate over Sag Body? And why is P2H > Maul? Also, if i choose not to go with Knives, for a second defensive bind would Hood > Platelegs or other way around?

Binds @ 120.
Just curious what the best binds would be at 120. Asking this a bit in advance in case i should be getting something i don't have at the moment, i can bind whatever it is on the way to 120. Right now my binds are: Sag Short, Sag Body, Primal Maul, Blood Neck. I have the following in the pocket: Primal Body, Celestial Body, CC Staff, Primal 2H, Hexhunter. Not sure what else. I was thinking maybe Chaps for LP/Def boost, since mages are still the only thing that really hurt me.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
No that's called learning from your mistakes "it happened, i learned from it, i moved on." Regret is more like "omg i wish i never did that :(((((((((((" and crying about it for years and years to come.

"I want a girlfriend/boyfriend", and other such relationship advice
L that is why you live your life with the "regret nothing" philosophy. I've done many things in my life i am not proud of, things i hate, but i do not regret doing any of them. Regretting something is like denying the true you, and that's not fair to yourself.

Post all RS Screenshots, Videos, and Sounds here!
How was it? I'm yet to try BoE, apparently it's really hard ^^ It's actually REALLY easy. I did it using Bandos/Subj/Armadyl and Chaotics and managed to do it with great ease. The boss fight was actually a bit of a joke. Using Ice Barrage i didn't get hit by him very often, and he never managed to heal himself either. Oh nice haha! Did you do much reading up beforehand? Tactics etc.? Just went in all guns blazing. No real need for a guide. If you've done the Kiln, it's kind of easy to know what combat style to use, and when to use it.
