Playing a lot less now. Getting my PPL which takes up~10 hours of my day, each day but Sunday :|

He's ignorant in the sense that he ties one police man's ignorance to the whole country. It's like me meeting one stupid person in America and saying "OMG lol America is full of dumb people." If you get what i mean.

A friend of mine in Qatar had this FB status. Don't know why it annoyed me, but it just did. He seemed pretty okay with it, why can't you? :razz: I don't know if it's his ignorance or the police man's ignorance that makes me unable to be okay with it. :|

Having the Control Column in my hands and saying "I have Control" :D Then i know it's time for business. Also a week or two ago i got home late one night and my mom and dad had fallen asleep on the couch. They were lying on each other like a 18 year old couple would. It made me happy to know that after 25 years of being married they still have the same love they had for each other 25 years back. It really made me smile.

Hmmm that Mustang. Makes me miss my old one :( There's one almost exactly like the one in your picture parked outside the operations room every day. Gorgeous car.

Only reason my wardrobe is so small is because i was only allowed to take 23kg with me when i came to America :\

At the moment i have 6 different jeans, 5x School uniform, 2x "school" shoes, few T-shirts, 2x Vans Sneakers, 3x Hoodies 2x Sweater. That's really about is :|

I opened the 37 i had 2 days ago. If this happens, imma be MAD.

Did my first landing today :D Was pretty intense. Hands have to be all over, eyes have to be all over. Really intense actually. But it ended pretty well. Also did my first calls to Ground and Tower. Not as hard as i thought it would be. All in all a good day :D

I wasn't just flying in the plane, i was piloting the plane :D Well, i only did a few things here and there, the basics. Getting a feel for the controls. The instructor pretty much did the rest. It was pretty scary. We're using a C-172 which gets tossed around by the wind easily, so you feel pretty sick. I'm not exactly excited about the Stall training and Spiral Descent. I've heard people actually throw up because of it, but it should be fun.

First flight was goooooooood :thumbup:

And another 9 hour school-day. First PPL exam tomorrow, then my first flight afterwards. Life's good.

Second day at Aviation school. It was an intense day for sure. 11 Hours at school with few breaks. God, i love being busy again. Really getting excited about something. I'll have my first flight in 2 days. Omg i'm really excited.

i'm just going by what a lot of the media/fans are saying. Take it at bitterness. I don't give two shits, really.

After ~18 hours of traveling, i'm finally at the Hotel. I'm not even sure how much i traveled today because i passed through so many different timezones. My body is confoosed now. AA has some of the worst Business Class i have ever seen. I won't be wasting money on Business class next time i fly AA.

Meh, there's no honour winning a world cup against a C-grade team. This world cup pretty much turned into the biggest joke in rugby history.

Leaving for the US in a few hours. More nervous than i should be, but this is really my last shot. I can't screw this up. If i don't manage to stick to this and see it through i'll be forced to get some dead-end job, so no pressure... New country, new people, new career. I don't handle "new" too well :| Been pacing up and down the house for the past 2 hours. So nervous i'm finding it really hard to sit still for more than a few moments. I'll be on the go for the next 17 or 18 hours, something like that. On top of that i'll have a really busy Monday, 3rd medical test on Tuesday (same on i've done twice now). My parents gave me my birthday presets a bit early, which kind of sucks because it really doesn't feel the same even though i'm not really a gift/birthday person. I think the thought of spending my 21st without my family is just a bit depressing though. Oh well, here's to a new life.

Well done! :thumbup:

Awesome that's great. Thanks!

Kind of want to try doing this myself but i'm not sure how i should drop. Fish One > Drop One > Click Ovl > Click Fish Spot > Repeat?

Doesn't matter how slow the account creation is, it's still going to happen by the masses. And i didn't exactly mean a "random" like we have in RS already. If you look at the pit, you are not forced to do it, like random events. Your attention is merely drawn by a text in the chatbox and an arrow above the head of an NPC. Whether or not you want to do the event is totally up to you. This kind of activity gives you the option of either going on with your routine, or doing the D&D. Now what i am suggesting is to take this exact innovation and apply this at popular botting sights, but with a twist. Like i explained before, you will now be forced to do the D&D. If you do not do it within x-amount of time your account will be logged out and you will be required to refresh your browser or what have you. Now i'm not sure how bots react when it is pulled into a random event, but i am fairly certain that they can do it easily but only because it is a forced random and the "bot" recognizes it. If you create a random event that requires you to talk to an NPC to start it, it might be a different story. I'm not sure how easily a bot-maker can adjust to something like that though. EDIT: There's always something else that can be done. Instead of being pulled into a random by the Sandwitch Lady, you could be pulled into a large room. A message could instruct you to "Talk to X-NPC for further instructions" and upon talking to whomever you were supposed to, lets say Leo the Gravedigger, you will be teleported to the graveyard to continue the random. Again, i'm not sure how easily that could be coded around.

I think D&D's like "The Pit" could potentially be a great way of stopping bots, if you take it one step further. "Force" players to participate in the D&D, and if the player does not, the player get's auto-logged. Upon being auto-logged you will be required to reload/refresh your page and re-log. This would stop the bot from working until it is logged back in. As i understand it, most bot's (if not all) stop with system updates because that can't reload the page and log back in until it is manually done. This will basically function as a system update, which would log out the bot until manually logged back in. Although the biggest problem is not players botting skills for the sake of gaining levels but rather botting an NPS for gaining GP, i'm sure that with some thinking you could come up with a D&D at bot-hotspots (such as Frosts and Aviansies). After killing a random amount of X-NPC you will be required to do a small random for a small exp reward (similar Exp reward as that of Shattered Hearts or The Pit). It does not have to be an Exp reward though. It could be any type of small reward. The idea here is not to reward the player, but rather break the routine and distract the player. The Pit is a great example of what could be used. It's not an automatic random, but rather something that requires you to walk to an NCP, click through a conversation and do a random mini-game. It can easily be skipped if you want to, but with an update such as i suggest you will be faced with the option of either doing the D&D or having to reload your page. I know nothing about coding, so i have no idea if this is even possible or if it could be easily fixed by bot-makers.

Yes, i agree wit what you say. But that is also why i said that they will learn from their mistakes. What i mean by "frosts might not have changed a lot" i meant in terms of being bottable. Jagex will need to find a balance somewhere, and it's going to take a few attempts to get it right.
