It started like any other day, the RuneScape sun was shining bright as ever and I was still wondering when nightfall would occur. After aimlessly waiting for the sun to drop so I could resume my nightly barrows trips I realized, this sun might not ever drop. Just then I had the instinct to go and try my luck in the Al-Kharid Duel Arena. I equipped my dragon dagger(s), my Dragon Amulet, my Gauntlets of Chaos, and my Adamant Boots. After winning and losing 500k back and forth with an unworthy opponent I quickly found myself staking over 1 million per stake. "Oh" I quietly said to myself as I doubled my geepee from 1,900,000GP to 3,800,000. As fast as it happened I was in the duel arena again this time staking all my gold peices. My opponent had got me down to under 10 hp also he was well below 10 hp. "Oh no" I exclaimed to myself as my I got hit for a 3 from my opponent which made my hitpoints drop to 1. "Well there goes all my money" is what i was thinking then bam He hits 0. I realize I have a chance to win my whip attacks my opponent, zero. I scream out loudly as I see his whip come in for the final whip to take my 3.8 million gp, he hits zero. I hit him for a 3 and see his bar completely red, as he falls towards the ground. I scream out for joy as I had never collected as many gold peices as I had now, 7.6 mill. My opponent comes back to me and asks for one more for 7.5 mill. I realize if I am going to be rich I will have to make sacrifises like this, so I accept the stake. We go into the arena bam my first hit is a 19. I feel great, on the phone with my real life friend who also plays RuneScape. I easily defeat my opponent and collect my 7.5 mill. "Wow" I said to myself as I realized I had quickly gone from having just under 2 million gp to having over 15 million. Of course my opponent wants to win HIS gp back and i decided to do one more stake but i tried for 5 million, he declined my stake and walked away. I asked why he declined he said "15 mill or nothing". Realizing 15 million gp IS NOT alot of money i reluctantly accept the stake-duel and to my surprise I win. At this time I am ecstatic, realizing my dream of being rich quickly became reality, he comes up to me with the toughest decision of my life, stake 23 million of HIS gp(which i just won(this was when purple was 23 mill)) for HIS purple party hat. Still on the phone with my friend who is quite rich I ask "Do you think I should stake 23 mill for his purple party hat?" he replies "Do what you think you should" I accept the stake. We are dueling but this one feels different, I hit him 19 he hits me 19, i hit 0, he hits 10, I start to get upset. He gets me below 10 hp while he i still quite high but its my turn to hit. Boom i hit him for 19 and put him well below 10 hp. His whip comes in for what I feel could be final blow and he hits me for a 5, I open my stats and realize I have 1 hp left. I hit him for a 0, then i realize that I lost... but just then, he hits a 0 too. Right now I am going wild realizing this last hit could either make or break me. I hit him for a 3 and he dies. I collect my purple party hat. I leave the duel arena. You think my story is done? This is just the begining. I walk around showing off my new purple party hat and my 29 million gp. 20 minutes before this I had 2 million gp and a whip, now I had enough for full guthans full dharoks, full veracs and a dragon squ. But I wanted more, Joecena09(the person i won this all from) adds me to friends list and tells me to come back and stake yellow party hat, I laugh and tell him im okay and thank-you for the items. About an hour later i decide to check the duel arena again, and who do I see, my opponent, Joecena09. He stakes and puts on the rules we staked prior to this. He puts up 10 mill cash, and i follow and put up 10M. We accept the duel I win easily. Wow now i had 39 million, now I can tell hes getting mad because in less than 10 stake duels i had won over 60 million in items and gold peices. But does he stop there? NO. I continue to stake his sorry bottom until he is cleaned out. What did i win you ask? Well let this pic show u. Realizing now I have well over 100 million in items and geepee, for free. I go around showing off, not knowing that my demise is just beyond the horizon. Later than evening I decide to check out my new favourite spot, the Al-Kharid Duel Arena. Who do I see, lets call him my boss cuz all hes doin is paying me. I again thank him for all the wonderful party hats and the 70 mill gp (i gave alot away i was too happy). He laughs and says "no biggie." All of a sudden a new opponent challenges me to a stake and i click on his name "Drkswrd". I quickly search his stats like any good staker should do and realize he has level 99 magic. I say no magic duels and he agrees and puts up 15 million cash. I accept and win I am getting rich im thinking to myself. I continue to stake sometimes only for 100k(which is nothing now remind you) and even up to 1 million with a care in the world. Then drkswrd comes up to me and says "35 mill" i look and he puts up dragon chain. I put up my 35M and accept the duel. It was well fought but I ended up losing. Realizing i had taken a significant loss of 35 mill but then realizing i just won 15M from him before that i offer him to stake 20M, he agrees and I win. Back where i started. then he wants to do 35M again, i reluctantly agree and lose. Hmm im thinking now i AM down money, so i stake one more time 35M against 35M. I win! Now he is getting frustrated realizing his fortunes could and will most likely become mine. He stakes 4 santas and says 20 mill. Santas wernt even close to 5 mill yet so i put up 10 mill he then puts up 8 santa hats and says 20 mill.. I put to 20M and win. So now i have Green, Yellow, Purple Party Hat, 10 Santa hats, over 70 mill gp cash, green halloween mask(how i somehow won along the way). Realzing i am really rich and i should walk away i decide to leave for a few mins. I log back on drkswrd stakes immeadietly and puts up 4 santa hats, I put up 4 santa hats but i lose the the stake.. I still have 4 santas so i stake them. lose them. Hmm im thinkin hes doin something different. I go into arena with him for 15M he wins again. Now i Know something is up. He puts up dragon chain i put up 35 mill and accept, we stake and he wins. hmm im thinking as i just lost over 100 mill. I go into stake him one more time for the rest of my money another 35M. He wins, but now i realize why. He is getting his friends(Joecena09(the person i cleaned)2000sx, Adam is Hard and one more i cant remember) to enter the duel arena and stand directly on top of him so that when i use my dragon dagger special and try to click on my opponent drkswrd i miss him of course and click on one of his minions, thus not hitting him, thus him beating me. I am so mad right now realizing was just cheated out of well over 150 mill in items and gp. But i still have green yellow and purple party hat, but not for long. I challenge him to stake for my purple, he puts up 23 mill and accepts, I accept and lose. Oh no im thinking only 2 hats, i gotta try to stake once more and i know ill win. I stake yellow party hat he puts up 25 mill. I lose again. Oh no i am really upset now realizing i went from 200 mill(would be 300 mill today with the rare inflation) to just over 30 mill. I challenge him to one more stake for my final hat, he puts up 29 mill and accepts. I lose. Then i stopped playing on my main :D.. that took along time to type i hope i win great story if u read it all true too
