Hey guys! From what I hear, you guys are some of the best signature makers, so i thought I'd drop my request here for you all to consider. I'm looking for a signature (obviously) with one of my favorite bands being the theme. What I'd prefer is to have a similar signature to this photo: As you can see, its to big, but similar photo background and the same font-style/wording would be perfect and preferred! If someone does it for me, I will give you the required recognition. Thank you to anyone who decides to do it! Hold fast, Nate (69 Nine)

Thank you for the input! That may be a good description of what it is. I enjoying reading stream-of-conscious type writing (Joyce being the first author to come to mind), but I am in no way even close to something along those lines (yet). Ah, I understand, and you're totally correct. In my newest addition, I tried to work on that some (let me know what you think). Well, I'm glad you enjoyed it, the more input, the better. :) Update-ish: Added a more personal writing section (don't read it if you're going to flame), feel free to critique the writing style if you wish. I also added another of my recent writings, its on the shorter end and probably not that good, but I wrote it in under 15 minutes (I'm timing myself to see what I can do in certain lengths of time). Let me know what you guys think!

As the title says, I'm new to photography, and am no where near being extremely dedicated to it. I, however, do enjoy doing it, so here's one of my recent panoramic photos. I'll upload more pictures later on as well, probably. For those of you who are curious: this was taken in Charlottesville, VA. Hold fast, Nate (69 Nine)

I don't understand how someone could do combat all day long. It'd kill me. Hell, it kills me to do it for more than 30 minutes (I'm significantly dreading getting 70 all combat stats). Good luck on your goals!

Working on some Mining today, hoping to get 50 by the end of the day, more of a casual day to be honest. Still working on flipping (and enjoying it tremendously). Gonna try out some new items/techniques this afternoon (^^). EDIT: Edited some of the goals section (will continue to do so throughout the afternoon). EDIT2: Got 50 Mining, done with that for today, gonna do some more Firemaking (hopefully will get 75 or higher) while continuing to flip items.

Currently, I'm flipping 15k Chaos Runes and making ~60-80k per flip. They're on the cheaper side, so is it better to do Yews or such, or stay with the 'smaller', but larger bulk, items?

Yeah, it feels longer and like the game components have changed so much that initially it seemed SO different, but as you said, it's essentially the same. I started flipping. And over the past day I made ~1.1M. Hehehe. What do you guys flip usually? And what styles do you guys use? I want to gain new styles, etc. and try stuff out. Post below. :) P.S. Curious: do you guys know of any good Merchanting/Flipping clans? Names, please?

Well this is pointless. Mods, please close.

Go away.

Hi.

An Update: Well made some money this morning. My current cash wealth is somewhere in the 900k range, which makes me happy. I'm currently just messing around with GE flipping and working on personal techniques and such. I'm actually really enjoying it, I may make a cash goal (via flipping) eventually. We shall see. If you guys have any flipping techniques or items you enjoy using to flip, just give me a hollar! I'm always up for learning new areas. I'm not gonna do much training today due to being busy with soccer practices and friends, but I'm gonna see how much wealth I can flip, wish me luck! EDIT: Did some Firemaking this evening as well, got a level so far, might get one or two more before going to sleep (hoping for 80 by the end of the week; along with 80 RC'ing). Also an update on my flipping: I think in total today, I've profitted just over 1.1M. My current bank worth is somewhere around 1.5M if I calculated things correctly. Sunny days.

Well, I work at a pizzeria, and as a result, the first couple of weeks working there I ended up cutting back on eating (that's what happens when you're around food all the time), and my stomach shrunk. So even if I ate more, I'd have to spread it out, cause I can only eat small portions without getting stuffed anyways. And I'm looking to lose weight, whilst still gaining muscle and toning my body (and staying nutritionally healthy).

I'm a sexy piece of land, though. Aye. Well guess what... Neat, huh? Now to start working on getting teh monies.

I write for fun. That's the bottom line. I'm not all that great at it and I have a ton to learn, so please, give me suggestions, tell me what you like and what you don't like, but DO NOT flame. Thank you! 1. Hatred. It’s strange; I have never felt such hate for anything in the world. But this beast. This wretched animal. Staring at me from the darkness. It’s blind, pale-grey eyes locked on to me as I sit on a bed sized, water-smoothen rock, a stone throw across the silent, deathly-grey creek. My heart just overflows with contempt, far beyond what I have ever felt. Not even a feeling of murder or destruction. Just pure hatred. Its worming, malnourished head, slightly swaying back in forth atop a long, serpent-like neck as it continues to peer through the slight fog at me, sniffing ever so slightly, tasting the air -- my skin, my scent, my breath. What’s strange is I don’t remember how I got here. Sitting alone, as the ashen clouds drift lazily through the sky, in some unknown forest by a seemingly dead creek, sinking silence. But the beast, it seems to be all that my memories entail, intoxicating. Its eyes remind me of nothing, yet everything: as if my past eternity has been consumed, or better yet filled with silence. But the scariest thought is, underneath the hate -- and disgust. I think I have loved this disgraceful creature. Whether this affection was past, present, or consumed in my future, my memories do not aid me. Flashes of lightning, exploding the surrounding: clamoring soundlessly. The beast cringes at the sudden lighting of the silence, a rumbling thunder from far off predicting the beginnings of acid. Coiling its head over its sharply boned back. Another crash of sight and sound. He writhes in the suffocating senses. Within moments, she’s gone. It’s intoxication seeping away with each breath. Gone. A gurgle of water of stones begins to come back to my ears. A single drop of rain hits my nose, startling me to reality; memories fading fast, faster than the flash of a smile or the blink of an eye. Silence. Darkness. My eyes open. A warm body, cotton covers, the patter of rain on the roof, my book resting lovingly on my chest; the light dimly lighting a single wall of my room. The hatred, love, silence, grey, the rain, the creek. Seeping away. 2. I thought the dreams were over. The breaking, crashing, silent, throbbing, whoring dreams. You know, the ones you awake: sweating as if the marathon your mind just ran was actually real. Or the ones where you awake: so cold, so very cold -- checking for the loved one you thought was there, who really wasn’t. Sometimes, I find myself awakening: seeing nothing but seeing everything; not sure whether to move -- paralyzed by a fear of nothing, or maybe just the fear of being awake. Drifting to silence. I fall, down, stagnate slumber. A faint reminder of a deep, sinking, heart-corrupting hatred slashes faster than lightning through my mind. The ash continues to drift by on the lifeless, gray waters. Gray. The color, yes, color: overtaking every other color, actually, accentuating all colors, yet binding them to It's will; intoxicating the eyes, enveloping all other colors. Nothing more than air enters my lugs, yet I feel like I’m literally drowning: sucking in each breath, as if the last hit was nowhere near satisfying enough. Whether the fact that I’m barely breathing is because of my inability to actually move or the fact that the Gray is swallowing everything -- I do not know. My lungs press hard against my heart, pushing the weight up, higher, higher. Through my esophagus, my neck, my eyes, to my brain. Clouding, filling, inhaling my thoughts. Evolving. Everything becomes a Gray silence. I’m not sure if I’m actually thinking or just dead. Drop. Gray. Ceiling. I actually can grasp a memory of the heaviness. The heavy heart. Seconds, the pillow. And into deep slumber, I take my dive. 3. Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhale. Think. Think clearly. Breathe. Look. Four. Three. Four. Two, one. I try to distinguish what’s actually hand and what’s finger. My eyes blur, enclosing and encumbered. Masks, gas, masks. They drift through the trees -- over the ash -- staring, peering, terrorizing the landscape. Their eyes peering through perfectly circular goggles into the utterly dark, yet luminously pale evening sky. Ha. Vultures; no masks. They eat the sky. The horizon consumed by their dark eyes. Their haunting feasting, tearing eyes. The potent, poisonous, intoxicating gas irresistible, corrupting, destroying the world as it spins just slightly atilt. Fog falls. A flash of distant, terrible memory, ash, gray, hatred, darkness, her. The beast, its eyes, no, its wretched, sweet scent. Sniffing. A crown, blood. A demasking of what’s nature. While still naturally hidden to I, Love broke the nature, removing what was mine. From one, through one. Clean. Rescue, no, Love. Forgiveness? 4. I can hear it. I can hear it. The anger. Acidic. Corroding the air. With every syllable he says, the air thickens: swimming with emotion. The flashing memories of the creature form in my mind. Comparing -- every word, every motion of the hands, every pin-pointing glare -- to it, she: him. His eyes begin to transform into those lifeless, blind grey orbs of silence. His head, morphing into the serpentine monstrosity, and flailing like a tension cord being cut. In a single shuttering glimpse, her entire form changed -- the beast. I don’t waste a single moment; my legs move in quick retreat faster than my brain has time to react: to even utter a terror-filled scream. My mind becomes numb with the senses; the pleasure begins to flood back through the memories. Fleeing. Why? Why has he returned? I melt into the fire. Sobering. Sleeping. [hide=More Personal-styled Writing] 1. She’s more than I deserve. ‘cause quite frankly, I deserve no more than an eternity burning and sinking in a bowel of fire and wrath. You know, the future is the most uncertain thing. So why worry focus on it or what it entails? The present moment tips and dives into and upon eternity; and the past is a glassy sea turned to petrified silence: unmoving and fading. I know, there will come a time with no more tears; and then love, no, it won’t break our hearts. I get so pulled down by things, so easily. And only when I really focus on what I should be focusing on do I really see, my life, my thoughts, my actions, her, clearly, no fuzzy mists. “When my heart was grieved and my spirit embittered, I was senseless and ignorant; I was a brute beast before you. Yet I am always with you; you hold me by my right hand. You guide me with your counsel, and afterward you will take me into glory. Whom have I in heaven but you? And earth has nothing I desire besides you. My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” (Psalm 73:21-26) Lord, may MY heart ever be focused on You. So, I may learn to even scrape upon the surface of the ocean that is Your Love for us, Your Children; and ultimately reflecting that unbelievable bliss, which is Your Love, upon those who matter to me beyond what I can even describe. Shalom. 2. Thinking is just so hard when you can’t breathe. I just don’t even know what to think anymore. Is it true that all good things must be fought for in order to stay that way? Love always perseveres. Only when both truly love, right? The nightmares of lost-trust. Haunting. I can’t seem to sleep these days, myriads of shadows twisting my mind: my dreams. I forgive because He first forgave. I love because He first loved. So I must trust. I must hope. I must protect. I must persevere. No matter the trial. No matter the cost. His Word should be enough, and even more so: she’s worth it. O, my gracious Father, my King, my Savior. I am weak. I am tired. Dismiss my fears, thanksgiving-fill me with peace. For I cannot fight the oppressive darkness that is my selfishness, my idolatry: my sin. I am not alone. Shalom. 3. The subtle drop of moisture. A tear. Experts say that tears chemically help sadness and depression. But what for those whose hearts are so gone beyond that a tear can’t be spilt. What if the ever-full cup is always empty? Not allowing a single drop to spill over? I sit in a comfortable, warm bed, with tea in my hands and a cat by my side. And a good book. And emptiness. And emptiness. He, she, it stares over my shoulder: looking in onto the passage I am reading, whispering a copy of every word I ingest, O the Irony of it all. Breathing down my neck, the spine-standing, yet clenching on because without the emptiness, there’s nothing (which in itself is something). So to push. To understand. To hope. I. I just don’t. I just don’t understand. Sinking into my heart, into the stone, the cold. Giving all is the beginning of understanding. Maybe? I give You all my heart. The cold, metallic case that it is. I cannot carry it; the weight of it, my strength fails me. “So let us know, let us press on to know the Lord. His going forth is as certain as the dawn; and He will come to us like the rain, like the spring rain watering the earth.” [/hide] I just write what comes to me, so yes, some of my stuff is influenced by my religious beliefs, be tolerant as you wish, its appreciated. I hope you guys enjoy what I have to offer (and this list will grow as time goes on). Hold fast, Nate (69 Nine)

Yeah, my Mining level is only 46 (I am actually planning on getting it 60+ in the near future). So it'd still be relatively slow. I'm 80 Woodcutting however, so I don't know. The only problem, is I have probably all of 30k in cash to use, and I don't think that'd be anywhere near enough money to even turn a slightly decent profit by flipping lobsters/ores/etc. :?

Today's Workout: 2 mile run 15 regular pushups 15 staggered pushups 20 shoulder-band workouts (it's a variation of a P90x workout) Today's Food Consumption: 1 mug of coffee Multiple glasses of water 1 12oz Cherry Coke 1 bowl of beef stroganoff w/ noodles and microwaved raw spinach So that's up to right now what's gone down today. I will update after dinner as well.

Well sup guys. Over the past 3-4 months I've been trying to work on my personal fitness, so I decided I'd may as well begin a topic about it both for support (which results in me working harder) and suggestions (cause I'm probably doing a lot of stupid things stretching, workouts, and nutrition-wise). So here's some info about me: Height: 6' 1.5" I'm almost 6foot-2inches, but not quite. I have broad-ish shoulders, but my lower half is on the thinner side. Weight: 169 lbs My weight varies ALOT, like last night I was 173 lbs, and when I weighed myself this morning I was 167 lbs. For the most part, I usually stay somewhere in the 168-170 lbs range. Just a note on my weight, I have little to no fat on my calves/fore-arms, the majority of my fat is my waist and chest (and a little on my back, but not much). Age: 17 I have a low metabolism for my age (not one of those types who doesn't have to do anything and stays low-body fat); if I don't watch what I eat, I get fat. My goals? Well in general I just want to get to a good point of eating nutritionally in general and just being generally fit. Beyond that, I'd like to get myself in the 4-5% bodyfat index (I think I'm currently in the 13-15%, but not positive about that). I have 3/4 of a six-pack and would like to fully tone that out. I'm unsure of what weight range that would look like or how best to get there (so suggestions would be majorly helpful). For the most part my eating schedule (on the average day): Morning: Coffee (1 or 2 mugs) Multiple glasses of water (usually 2-3 between 8-10 am; I honestly drink water consistently all day long, I just enjoy being hydrated hahaha) Lunch-time: Small portion of food (whatever I'm in the mood for, I usually try to stay away from beefs and the such, but I tend to have to rely on leftovers, so whatever my mom cooks the night before). I usually keep this to one serving, so as to just spike my metabolism until dinner. Dinner-time: Medium portion of food (again I'm sort of stuck with whatever my mother makes for dinner, so the most control I usually have is portion-size and if i add things to my meal, like spinach, etc.). I try to stay away from soda and such for the most part (but on occasion I do drink it). Average day's workout: Minimum 2mile run in the morning (usually takes about 12-14 minutes). Upon returning from my workout I try to do somewhere from 40-90 pushups and 20 elastic-band shoulder workouts. I stretch after each of these workouts (I don't know the names of what stretches I do, but pretty much arms, and then legs). Ok, suggestions, go! Also, I have slight lower-back problems (it hurts every once and a while), so if you guys know of a way to try to work on that (plus I'd just like to work that area out in general, so workout suggestions would also be appreciated). Sincerely, Nate (69 Nine)

Hahaha. Thanks for the help (to the both of you). Regardless of whether the suggestions were P2P or not, they will be helpful later on. Is iron ore a decent money output per hour? Or is it less than 100k/hr? I heard a rumor that oak logs are decent profit/hr as well? Just curious as to what's best out there. Still using Span for RC (currently training it at this exact moment, actually). I'll probably start trying out different money methods after 70 RC'ing (~15minutes until I get 69, so probably starting on money-making tomorrow).

Jagex removed the highscores for non-members. Are you shitting me? Wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. Maybe I shouldn't come back. That's just retarded.

Hello dear Tip.it Community! I have come to greatly enjoy the merchanting style of Flipping and was wondering what the Tip.it Community enjoyed flipping the most in F2P. Thoughts? Also, I'm curious as to what styles of Flipping you guys use/do. Post below! Most of you probably do not know me, and that's ok, I'm just here to relearn and reteach myself this game that is Runescape. I quit in September of 2011, and have only gotten on twice since then (for maybe 5minutes each time). So I'm quite behind on what methods, etc. are most efficient. My current biggest issue is in-game money. I have a entire bank worth of at most 200k. What methods are best for making money when you're only F2P (I am planning on getting P2P in the next month), but currently I need money and am out-of-date to what methods are best. Suggestions? I will add more questions as things come up, thank you to anyone who can/is willing to help! EDIT: I also just noticed that for some odd reason, my skills/stats do not show in the highscores. I know they should because I have at least one 99 stat and many stats that would be in scores normally. Anyone know why mine are missing?

Impressive. Now go get 20m.

Smallish Update: Been working on getting 70 RC'ing most of the morning. Just reached 67, my hope is to have 70 by the end of the day, but we shall see. I really need to get P2P and get my name changed. I think I'm gonna change it to 69 Nine, but you guys feel free to post name suggestions if you wish. Also, upon my return, I am lacking in the finances area (aka RS gp; I think my bank is currently worth maybe 200k haha). So if any of you feel compelled to donate money to me in-game, feel free to PM if I'm online (or just PM in general, I enjoy talking to people). Well, back to Runespan! Hehehe. /grinding. EDIT: Updated my goal's section for a bit. For my non-combat skills, I'm only going to have 5 goals placed; as I complete them, they will be replaced with new goals. I just don't want to overload myself (nor you guys) with tediously large amounts of information. EDIT2: Just got 69 RC'ing. I think I'm gonna take a break for abit, will get 70 later on tonight. I posted a topic in H&A about good F2P money making methods, if you guys (reading) know of any, feel free to post, I'd love to know.

Ohai. That account is banned, and I've essentially given up on it for good. I need to get P2P so I can have a name-change... Silenti Etc is freaking stupid. Haha.

wut is this really Harpy? THE harpy? OMG <3333 I have returned. Though, honestly, still not sure how long I am going to be back for. We shall see. You guys have posted alot since I was last here. Can't be bothered with reading 400 pages of shitty literature.

Well if you go on Zaapfag's blog and look at his listing of 'harpies' I am the Duchy. So, sort of a shout out to all of those who remember me. My God, I've missed you. [bleep]. And you as well.
