cant wait to see it.... -edit- totally rocks. gives the game a more smooth feel... not so "java graphix", with hard edges, etc, but more smooth feel.

but you guys are missing the whole point. Its been proven that if macroers all go "boom" and leave... the prices for everything would go up... so lets see: you would make more gp: merchanting cutting yews mining coal making runes you name it... but, you would also spend more on everything else. Maybe a few 10's of gp difference here and there, but heck, mostly the same. I think a big reason jagex is taking offence at macroers is simply that they are making real life money off of a game Jagex made, they own rights to, etc. It is illegal to sell the runescape client for say, 5 bucks... why? Jagex owns it. If they wanted to sell the client, then ok, they could. $5 up front fee to play the game. One time fee. But others cant do that. So, can others sell gp for cash? no. Jagex could if they wanted. They truly own all the gp. If you are selling it for real, hard cash, its not only cheating, but also rights-infringement. Plain and simple. While the macroers may not be a massive problem for runescape gp, how would you like it if somebody sold the drawing you made, or the program you wrote, or the music you record without your permition? I think that is the real thing about this. Jagex just says in their rules explanations that its just "to make the game fair". while partly true, its mostly to protect themselves. Its like why stores put in security cameras... they may say its "to keep you safe", but no, the real reason is to catch the theives. Thats my take on this whole thing. I don't really care if you flame me or not, as has happened before. I fully expect that it will happen again. 'Tis what happens when you get a bunch of 12 and 13 yr old kids together. edited for spelling

God. I told myself I'd never do this. I posted in the wrong topic =D> #-o :roll:

Yes, I don't know how I offended you in any way, but i'm sorry. According to you, i'm offending you by not having knowledge of what an eagle scout is? I also previously stated that nobody should take offence because I didn't know something. Anyways, congratulations on becoming an eagle scout. How long did it take you to become one? Not sure what seahawk meant... maybe just a misunderstanding. I didnt take what you said as being rude... Anyways, it took me 4 years from start to finish from joining scouts to eagle... a little bit faster than most. The eagle rank itself took about... I'd say 18 months. Work work work work!

thanks! --- What did I do for the project?? Well, the point of the project is to show leadership... not neccessarily do a big project... but what I did was at the church we meet at, they have an attic area, that needed walls and shelves. The fire marshall kept yelling at the church for breaking fire code. So, I put up (ok, I directed others to put up) 2,000 sqaure feet of wall, and shelves. It took a while... :) But yeah, I look back at what boy scouts has done for me... a lot! Tons of leadership skills. something like 50% of the eagle scouts from my community get up to being CFO or CEO or president or other high possition in a company. I dont really like buisness... I'll go fly instead. But yeah, its pretty impressive. Every astronaut in the Apollo program was required to have been an eagle scout. When joining US marines, air force, navy, or army, you start at a rank 1 or 2 spots higher than normal. All you kids who are 12 or so... up to say 14, scouting is incredible! Yeah, it might be kinda weird in some aspects... but so much of what I have learned has come from being a scout. It also got me interested in a lot of outdoor stuff... rock climbing... mountain biking... backpacking... you name it... I love that kind of stuff now. Anyways, my plug for scouts lol. O:)

beef. Chicken never fills me up... I'll always be hungry a few hours later. But chicken sandwiches pwn burgers. Other than that, beef. 100% Steak is amazing, not chewy if prepared correctly. You can do a lot with it like tacos, burritos, steak, some amazing other stuff. :-)

Well, as of an hour ago, I am offically an Eagle Scout! woot! \ Any replies welcome... flame or congratz as you see fit. :D

stay around afterwards for a freak train/dance!! Uniform is: fish bowl scuba tank preist gowns (any dark color gowns) crab claw desert boots ghost speak ammy last 3 items not a true necessity.... stay around in edgy for it... we'll tele cammy and walk to cwars!

I actually like these "under the hood" updates the most... like the new game system... remember how everybody was about ready to go find Jagex and kill them?? Now look at it. Smoother game play... less lag... all around game. I prefer this stuff compared to a new quest that will keep you busy for a few hours... give you a new stinky weapon... and wow, 3k cooking xp! And, I also understand what they say about working evenings and weekends. My dad does that a lot when something is being updated or is broken... and thats in the airline buisness. He can ground every single airline in the world with one command. But he'd get fired. But to see that Jagex puts this much work into a game really shows that they care. Sure, they care about the money too... but they care about the game also. Otherwise they would not be tweaking something to make things run smoother, they would be adding more fluff. The fluff is what gets them the money. But, if they ignore the fluff for a week, and add/fix base line stuff, I think it shows they care. Thanks Jagex! :3> Anyways, my 2 cents worth. Bash as you please.

yup, that was me. \

well... it went well. Met the governor of georgia... and I think this is the only time I have made 5,000 people cry all at once. :3> Well, too bad it wasnt on any national network. I guess they mostly focused on the ground zero, etc. I'll keep checking foxnews, cnn, etc online. Thanks for the support!!

I'd love to be there. But I'll be here in rl: http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=537699

http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=537699 thats how I'll be remembering 9/11

Ok, first off, my rs name is bagpiperdude. Gives you a hint that I play the bagpipes. Anyways, here in Atlanta, GA, at Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield (for those of you around here), from 6-7 (Eastern Time), there will be a remembrance ceremony for 9/11. A local kiwanis club is setting up 3,000 11-foot US flags, once for each person who died in the attacks. They also did this back in 2003. The flags are set up in a grid. Think of Arlington National Cemetery, but each headstone is an 11-foot flag. It will be much like that. The bagpipe band I play in will be playing there, twice. Once at the beginning, then at the end with amazing grace. I will be playing the solo intro to amazing grace, and then once through at the end after the band finishes. All local tv networks will be running this live, the governor of Georgia will be there, national congressman, etc. 2 years ago, when the kiwanis club did this same exact thing, it was the opening screen on almost every newscast accross the United States. It made national TV on FoxNews, CNN, ABC, and NBC. Now... I am playing a solo, in front of 10,000+ people live, and an estimated 5 million people live on TV. I am nervous as crap. :ohnoes: I'm playing in about 6 hours, and I'm leaving to drive there (30 min drive) in about 3 hours. I'm not sure which national tv networks will be showing this... just wondering if anybody wants to check some major networks around 6 eastern time? I won't be playing the solo until 6:50 or so, but the band will play at 6 for the opening, and again at 6:50 or so for the closing. Just thought I'd let you all know. Still nervous as crap.... :ohnoes: :uhh:

Ok, well... I've decided I'll see what this OoC is... I'll play for fun, not for money like I did before. 8-)
