So I think I'm going to come back to this game to pass the time while playing poker online, perfect game to do so and I absolutely loved this game when I was a kid. Some questions to send me the right way. Best place to fish/ deposit fish to cook later? best place to mine iron ore and deposit? Where should I lvl combat from lvl 1 to 20-30? Members a must for better areas? What is pking like? Best way to acquire decent amount of money? Any and all tips appreciated!

Why was my post ignored? Prove my point/post wrong then ill agree gay couples should be allowed to be married.

Im guessing its something that happens in a persons life, or slowly over time inner feelings change.
No, that isnt what homosexuality is. I can have a relationship with a man as close or better then one I have with my wife and not have any kind of sexual feeling for him. Being homo is being attracted to the same sex, period. Love is love is love is love. You can have love without being attracted to someone. The only thing that makes someone homosexual is being attracted to the same sex. Anyway you look at it, thats what it boils down to.
Then what of homosexuals who are really young? You might say it is just a "phase" or they want attention, but when that individual continues to be homosexual for the rest of their life, then thats not a slow change. This would suggest they were either born that way or they chose to be that way. For individuals who become homosexual later on in life, one would think that they had been supressing those feelings or they all of sudden realized they had an attraction to the same gender. Again, genetic or choice.
You kind of proved the first part of my point. You're looking at a couple and judging them based solely on their ability to reproduce. If they can't reproduce, then they are not a couple. So then, one should naturally think that marriage is in place inorder for us to reproduce. Forget emotion, that is irrelevant at this point, and marriage becomes defined as a couple's ability to create offspring. There are people who get married and never have children. And besides the tax advantages of such a marriage, those couples get married because they love each other. Homosexual couples feel the same way and it seems wrong to not recognize them as couples or, on a seperate issue, to allow them to get married.
No, you misunderstood me entirely. My point is, lets say im single and have a best guy friend and a best girl friend. and I wanted to date one of them. The determining factor would be who was I attracted to? If i was homo, then I would be attracted to my best guy friend, if not then i would be attracted to my best girl friend. Because I loved them both the same, and had the same kind of relationship with them.
I have a guy friend im closer with and consider my best friend compaired to wife. Does that make me homo cause I love him too? No it doesnt, the only way that would make me homosexual is if i was sexually attracted to him.

You do realize that a woman has a vag and a male a penis. What are they SUPPOSED to be used for other then pleasure? Creating offspring. When you can prove to me 2 men can create off-spring, then Ill be perfectly fine with homosexuals.
A man don't actually make the off spring they just add one of the important ingredients to it. But still you can have sperm donors can't you?
So the same applies to women then?Our point on Earth is to reproduce. Two guys can't reproduce. It is a choice to be homo.Are you dumb or just arrogant? It takes ONE man and ONE woman to make offspring. not TWO men or TWO women.
Do you get it now?
I never said I didn't. I was asking because Yourinator ONLY SAID that for men and nothing about women. I was just asking to see if yourinator was one of those anti gay people but not anti lesbo.
(OH and YES I do know the facts of life thanks).
And sperm donors? I think thats about as dumb as you can get also, since it ISNT your genetic kid.(atleast to one of the couple)You asked for one way and I gave it didn't I? Only AFTER I answered your question you put in clauses.The next time can you please say it all in the same question(including what you would and wouldn't like in the answer so I'll do my best to take that into consideration) not adding extra clauses after a person answers your question.
I take it your against adopting children and a person who has a child from a previous relationship trying to get another partner?
It takes ONE man and ONE woman to make offspringWell not really. I heard a while ago that scientists can make a woman pregnant w/o a any help from a man. But all the children would be female(that's still reproduction isn't it?). (Sorry I can't find any place where I can show you this as in hard evidence but I'll try.)
Ok I guess you need everyting spoon fed to you. Am I against a couple(man and woman) adopting a child because they cant produce their own off-spring naturally? Nope. and somone with a child trying to find another partner....did you pull this one out of left field? Lets stay on topic please.
^^ I guess you missed Ive been talking about how to naturally produce off-spring.
edit: Im not even against 2 gay people adopting a child. Im just proving a point that homosexuality isnt natural and I dont think they should get to marry either. THATS IT.
-
I never said it was a choice. I just said it isnt genetic. You say being homosexual isnt a choice, but what exactly is homosexuality? Its being ATTRACTED to the other sex, thats it. I would rather live a life by myself, then have sexual relations with the same sex even if i was attracted to them. I guess other people dissagree.
If it's not a choice and it's not natural (genetic), what is it? Your point of view is wrong in the bolded sentence. If you were homosexual, then you would feel the same feelings you have now (I'm assuming heterosexual) except they would be towards the same gender. Either that or you don't want to ever have sexual relations as a heterosexual either.
Edit:
Being homo is basically for PLEASURE, since thats all it really means. If thats what people want to do thats fine with me, you shouldnt get the benefits heterosexual couples get, though.I could see where you were going if we lived in a completely utilitarian world with no emotion, but the fact is homosexual couples love each other in the same way heterosexual couples do. Homosexual couples have more than sexual relationships, the same as heterosexuals.

Animals have gay sex too just for pleasure. Are they doing something wrong too?
The thought of homosexuality turns me off... completely, but I still don't see how it harms you when other people do it.
WOW thank you. I just pointed out my dad is homosexual and me and him still have a great relationship. I just dont think something people do for PLEASURE(as you so kindly pointed it out and worded it like i was trying to)

You do realize that 2 men having intercourse can cause internal problems(health) and have no outcome of it besides pleasure. So I fail to see how being gay is genetic, yet the whole principal behind a man and woman is to create offspring.
Maybe being homosexual is gods way of darwins theory working? You know since 2 men or 2 woman cant produce off-spring, their genetics arent re curculated back into the population.
P.S I have no hate towards homosexuals at all, my dad decided he was homosexual when I was in 7th grade and has been with the same man since. I visit him reguarly and have a good relationship. Do I think he was born gay? nope. Do I think he should be allowed to marry? Nope.
I know plenty of homosexual men and none of them proclaim to have chosen to be gay. It just happens. Whether it is triggered later in life, or it happens at birth, it is not a choice. I have never known a gay person to EVER say it was just an offhand choice. Why would anyone want to choose to be something that ignorant societies shun and limit rights to?

To be fair, I think the action in question is anal sex. Or sex between two males or two females.
I fail to see the difference between being a bi/homosexual and participating in homosexual acts. I'm a heterosexual, which is widely regarded as normal, and if were to participate in heterosexual intercourse, that too would be deemed normal within reason. I can't see the difference just because the action in question is between two people of the same gender.
Simply put, if being a homosexual is OK by them, why isn't participating in homosexual acts? One logically follows the other.
You've not seen the commercials? "CELEBRATE HOMOSEXUALITY" or using characters like spongebob to promote homosexuality in children (we are family organization). And then there's the people that try to promote homosexuality to make money off of it. as said before, despicable.No I haven't, not even during the annual Manchester Pride festival when I was in Manchester this year.

Im 20 and had a kid when i was 19. My wife and I are married. I used to play rs back in 01-04 then quit. Just recently came back. As long as you have your priorities right, playing runescape is fine. Family>bills>runescape.

All this hype, and they couldn't remove the "attack" option for your own teammates? :roll:
Cmon, they were too busy coding the option to lose your armor :roll:
-
Ah I didnt know you were talking about pures. Although my definition of pure, and the one used in todays runescape is probably much different. I completely agree with you on that aspect. The same as the one itemers who are just there to try and make a profit with no risk.

While a skiller at heart, I would not say that there is a dislike for pkers, instead a dislike the attitude that many pkers have. I have worked hard for my levels, and earned every bit of cash I have ever had. When I see those that mindlessly click on monsters to increase their combat stats, I am disappointed. Anyone can do that and yet many pkers feel as though they deserve what they earn from a kill. Honestly I fail to see the allure that killing a balanced character with a pure has in that to me there is no challenge. When I recently went from 80 cooking to 99 with a 2m profit, it was engaging and held a challenge. Then there are those that have spent hours leveling just 2 or 3 combat stats who gank people for ther hard earned cash?
The upside is I never 'had' to go into the Wilderness. As a result pkers have had little effect on me. I do not sell pots that i make, I do not buy ores for smithing, I do not buy seconds for herblore or summoning so in a sense I am an independant player that has little effect on the community in game as far as material usage/provision(outside the game i try to be as helpful as I can though).
With the inclusion of BH and Clan Wars we see a bit of pking as it should be. Pking should be for the pleasure of being able to outplay another player much like Guild Wars or World of Warcraft, not motivated by drops. Unfortunately Runescape is not really built for personalized combat (kind of the reason runescape and skilling are more of my attempt at relaxing) but the recent additions are giving to pking what I have wanted all along, the opportunity to kill another player for the joy of being able to do so, no strings attached.
Sorry man but thats about the dumbest thing i have ever heard. You are dissapointed at people "mindlessly clicking" to level up their combat stats. What exactly where you doing when mining/smithing/ doing any skill..?
And gank people for their hard earned cash? People knew what they were getting into going into the wild. People know what they are getting into when going into BH, and people will know what they are getting into in the new PVP worlds. So if they cant afford to lose that hard earned cash, then dont risk it. Thats the whole fun of pking is risk vs reward. the adreline of knowing you can lose your items, but also know you have a chance of beating someone and getting their items, and also bragging rights.
Pking with no risk or reward(which is what you would like) is dull and boring. Completely takes the excitement out of it.
-
Skillers and PK'ers are similar, but are slightly comparable to two races or cultures. They have the same capabilities, yet do things different in certain ways. Which led to separation, which led to "Why don't you train attack", "Why don't you train WC'ing", which eventually led to a big'ole bandwagon.
Haha, sounds about right to me. Although I do think jagex is partly to blame for the seperation too.
-
Ok, im a skiller of sorts but i don't hate pkers, infact i'm an ex pker myself. Skillers never realised untill pkin was gone how much of a skilling market is targeted at pvp. Bring back pvp and you bring back the hate but you also bring back a proper working economy.
Exactly, most skillers dont get that. When and if PVP comes back, prices of all foods,armor,potions etc WILL go up, maybe by a lot.

I thought it would be a interesting topic to discuss. I started playing rs in feb/march of 2001. It was back when you could pk anywhere in runescape +/- 3 levels of yourself(i think it was). The community itself was MUCH smaller and everyone basically knew everyone. It was all about pking and a race to highest levels. If you attacked someone you would get a skull and would lose all items, if you didnt have one you would keep 3 best items.
There wasnt a big seperation in the whole community. You didnt have "skillers" who hated on the pkers, and vice versa. Why is it such a big deal now a days? Why do skillers hate people who liked to pk and put them down, and vice versa? When did the community actually change like this? And was some of it due to jagex themselves?
-
What I think alot of mature scapers fail to realise is that most of the "oMG THiS uPDaTe SuXoR!!!!" comes from the same group of people that used Pking as a quick and easy way of makingmoney. That is why the rants all include the fact that there are no drops from killing people. They do not care about pking in the sense that they care about being able to fight other players, they care about manipulating a system to get something for nothing.
I am a skiller and could really care less about PvP (or combat at all for that matter) but Jagex cannot aim to please a group that misrepresents what they really want, a free lunch.
As to the items lost on death... yeah no idea what that is about unless it was Jagex's attempt at fulfilling those ranters misrepresented desires of seeing a lootpile again.
Wow someone has a skewwed view on things. You must be a semi new runescape player too. The people that are complaining about not getting drops arent complaining about just that. The whole point is why lose something for nothing? If you have a chance to lose something, you should have a chance to gain something also.
-
Yes a good update. I just dont get the option of losing armor on death. Who is going to use that?

Very nicely explained except one major and gigantic fault in your work.
The runescape classical combat formula never ever included mage or range.
In RSC only attack str def hp and prayer effected your combat.
It wasn't until RS2 that your combat could base itself on mage range or melee
No. Mage and range count in combat formulas if they are much higher than your other stats. Otherwise if you had a character with level 10s on all melees and 99 magic, it would be extremely low level, which would be dumb since the 99 magic (or range) would be extremely powerful.
It does NOW
I'm talking about his runescape classic formula though.
In runescape classic mage and range DID NOT count in combat level and it was wholey possible to have lvl 3 with 99 mage and/or 99 range
One of the big hyped features of RS2 was the fact that combat now included mage and range within your level
Dude you have no idea what you are talking about... Mage affected your combat in RSC. Where do you think the term pures came from? People would not train any magic and have their hp way above their combat level.

Just came back from around a 4-5 year quit... Started playing in 01. My ingame name is danightsword. Im just looking for some nice people to talk to ingame and hopefully make some friends. Msg me ingame or post here if you want!

So I'm almost 50 fishing right now. I want to fish about 1500 salmon/trout 1500 lobs, then 1500 tuna and then cook all. What is best way to lvl cooking 1-30 besides quest? I hate questing lol.
