Rares are a problem for the exact reason that jagex stopped having holiday drops, noobs get greedy and pissed off if they don't have any. Personally I've had a white party hat scammed by a friend of over a year, just because he wanted it when he couldn't afford it. I doubt they'll delete rares ever, but it'd be better if they had never been dropped in the first place.

I'd buy every one of my friends a whip, then spend the rest on herblore, smithing, complete my barrows set collection, full drag, 99 mage :) With any left over I'd buy rares.

I think they should add Penguins to the cooking skills. Perhaps with only one fishing spot in a snowy/arctic area. You'd have to net them with a penguin net and cook them on a spit, which could be made by making a fire and then using another set of logs on the fire to make the spit, then using the penguin on the spit fire. They could require something like 85 fishing and 89 cooking. Maybe even add a bait to fish for them like raw anchovies. So you could bring an inventory with the net and 27 anchovies and then net the Penguin hole, each time you catch a penguin one anchovie would disappear.

I'd help you run ores for a few nights if you want. I live in Oregon so we're on the same time zone, and if you dont trust me I understand but seeing how you're active on the forums I could offer you something as collateral, and then if you scam me I destroy your name :) Let me know lol.

How about... "If you're reading this give *insert your name here* back his iPod."
