depresins

But is it worth it, for a poor reward and time spent playing a minigame which frankly gets boring after 3 matches against opponents using the same strat? I'd prefer to sell or alch my steel plates.

I'm of mixed feelings. The rewards aren't that decent, I'd be better off keeping the junk and using it to rent or selling it to friends far richer than I.

I've always found "honour" in pking a hilarious topic. These pures choose to have unbalanced characters and create an arbitrary set of rules to prevent them for losing. I will always eat well above halfway, I will always use prayer, I will always freeze players and "farcast". Why wouldn't I press every advantage I've earnt? That being said, I avoid the whole crapstorm and refuse to fight anyone below level 50. It's a waste of time to do it anywhere else. And even there, I teleblock, freeze, "safe" and yes, attempt to run If I'm going to lose.

To Mod Mat K's second comment: [cabbage]. Jagex says every bug that they can't tell who lost what, so I'm going to say either Jagex is lying, or Mat K is lying. I think that it's difficult to go back and check instance by instance. I'm sure they can do it, but it might not be reliable, and it might not be fullproof(for instance, they are able to see how much cash is in the game at certain intervals, and possibly noticed that from xxx to xxx, 350m cash left the game(or 350mish above the average amount that ussually leaves the game)... this is all speculation, as I don't know Jagex's systems, but we have similiar problems at my work. We can go back and find out information about our systems running, however we don't have an actual system in place that monitors the exact data, however monitors something that could be effected by dataloss.. I know for a fact they can find out who lost what, they have pretty detailed account activity logs. (source: extended family member worked there) The reason they say they can't is because it just isn't feasible to check everyones account that claim they lost something to find out they are telling the truth. If they started returning lost items, so many people will claim they lost something in the hope they slip through the cracks and are given something for nothing. A rollback WILL NOT HAPPEN. Remove hundreds of thousands of peoples game playing experience since the update to return something to a few? If you think that makes business sense, you really need to get out in the real world. The only legitimate time frame for a roll back IMO is less than 10 minutes. Anything more and you WILL piss off much more people than were affected by the glitch.

This is another good point. Does anyone have enough institutional memory to say whether this summer's inflation rate is out of line? Not by an unacceptable margin. People are only focusing on one reason for the inflation across the board rather than the multiple causes.

prices have always risen at the beginning of the NA summer and they always crash near the end. It's just a fact of Runescape. I'd say you are reading too much into inflation and PvP artifacts and forgetting a situation thats been around for 7 years.

haha well I'll admit the last thing on my mind was a KBD head, let alone 2! Naturally I had all these dreams of a visage. I think they'll stay just that :) Thanks for posting!

IRL Hi. :) You can call me Lawny. I'm 19 and I'm Australian! I've led a pretty interesting life. I've worked as: A musician. A security guard. A personal trainer/youth worker. A McDonalds manager. I currently make my living playing football. Before I got promoted, I also played basketball. I don't really get spare time. But what I get left, I like playing Steam games, making music and hanging out at the pub. RS My main accounts name is Depresins. Very silly. The story behind it is I was attempting to type Depressingscoobied, but the pc lagged and I was too lazy to change it. I've been playing since mid 01'. No, I will not argue with you, you don't have to believe me. I mainly used to play RS for the social aspect, which explains my low stats. I took about a year off in 07/08 because of work commitments and when I came back, most of the oldies were gone. Now I play for an hour or so whenever I can fit it in. I've never been banned, muted or punished in any way. Feel free to add me in-game, I'm always up for a friendly chat or a debate! Stats As of 2/6/2009: (Picture to come!) Current stats: Goals I currently plan to spend a bit of time farming then get all combat stats 80+. In between farming runs I plan to solo the KBD/Giant Mole/KQ. No, it's not very efficient, but it is fun! Once I have all combat stats 80+, I plan on replacing my fire capes and void ranger set. Drops Here are my drops. Don't expect this to grow fast, as I don't play often! I will include the total value of my slayer tasks rather than each individual drop. [hide=KBD]1) KBD HEADS!, 4 Crimson, Air runes 2) Addy platebody, 4 crimson 3) KBD HEADS! 4 Crimson, fire runes 4) 690 iron arrows, 4 Crimson Yes, I have pictures of the heads. They are 10 minutes apart, because my internet crashed halfway through the 3rd kill and I had to go get more food! I'll upload pictures it once I recharge my internet.[/hide] I'm still working on the blog format, I'll be done soonish!

1) Your post was easily interpreted as you inferring you didn't have the extra time to spend in the gym. I pointed out that it is YOUR decision. 2) Your age is irrelevant when it comes to examples from other people. I never told you to or even suggested you give the money to your family. 3a) Your age is irrelevant again. There is nothing wrong with saving for your future at any age. I never expected your yearly wages to cover a deposit on a house, let alone what you would make in a 3 month period. The deposit on this house was roughly $100,000 AUD. Inclusive of fees, tax, etc. That's roughly 50,000 pounds. Please excuse the math if I'm off by much. The reason I could afford it is because I saved money here and there since I was 14. 3b) My insurance also costs me exorbitant amounts, about $4,000 a year, assuming my car doesn't get stolen or damaged. You don't need to preach to me about unfairly high insurance costs for young adults, we all have to deal with it. 3c)Pissing it all away is a figure of speech. Here, it refers to you spending your money going out, drinking, clubbing, partying, doing drugs, etc. As in spending money on piss, a synonym for alcohol. You admitted you did that. 4) Again, we have differing opinions. I'm hardly trying to force mine upon you, as you requested it, then respond in what I perceive to be a negative way. All I've done is attempt to explain myself and respond to your posts, which you requested. I did notice you are from Dublin. In my circles, calling you an American or saying you are acting like one is a derogatory term. Your geographical location doesn't affect the insult. If you wonder why I used what I consider to be a serious insult about your mental state/thought patterns, feel free to PM me and we can discuss it further. I don't take offense to you choosing a differing opinion. I take offense to what I believe are hypocritical/immature actions regarding opinions, even if it's on my behalf. I will drop the subject if you so wish.

Aren't feasible? [cabbage]. Don't think you are doing it tough because you work a normal job with a normal social life. How many other people working 40 hour a week jobs manage to find time for it? How about 50, 60, 70, 80 hour weeks? You CHOOSE to limit your time there, nobody tells you when you can work out but yourself. Every single one of my clients has better gains using simple supplements rather than stacks by subtracting the extra cost and putting that time back into the gym or competitive sport. They can use the money they save for more important things, like their family, which is why that's what I recommend doing. So you spend all your money on drink, smokes, clothes and going out? Why not save up for a car, a house, investments, properties, instead of pissing it all away? Sure, you enjoy doing it, but is it the best long term option? You are explaining to me that you are making what I perceive to be stupid choices in life. I never said you were wrong, I never TOLD you what to do. You ASKED for advice, then you reject it and treat people like crap because you don't agree with it. How very American of you.

I didn't understand it either :P

Modernish history? That's going to bug me all night now...

But as the cliche goes, history is written by the victors, hence the biased education. I like you. You are mature enough to admit things that most people are far too closed minded to realize. I also like how you lay out your statements to make it obvious what is fact and what is opinion. People like you are fantastic to have meaningful discussions with :) As you say Robert, being more affected by a perceived negative act, quite obvious which one in this case, you will undoubtedly feel different about it than somebody who wasn't affected by it. I really respect you concede that other people may have differing opinions that you are unable/find it difficult to understand.

haha sorry man, the italics confuse me! It's so easy to be taken out of context over the internet.

QFT. Hitler was an amazing orator and an effective politician who did great things and vastly improved the life of the average German. Most people are too obsessed with the Holocaust to pay attention to the "good" things he did for Germany.

I find it's kind of typical of the RS community at large. You know, treating others opinions like they are meaningless or "wrong", having a sook when things don't go how they hope they would.

I don't know where "here" is for you. If it's Australia, when did I say it wasn't illegal? If anything, you'd assume because I said it attracts a harsher punishment that it WAS illegal?

1/10. I don't agree with your logic about the circumstances behind it, so I am just rating the drop as it is.

I work 7 days a week. Training 4, game day 1, part time 3. No, that doesn't make 8 days. Monday is very light training in the afternoon, so I work in the mornings. I do find it hard to believe that you have money lying around with nothing better to spend it on, I'm just pointing out the fact that if it costs you say, $130 more for a 3 week supply than just the basics, that's an extra 3 hours a week you could be spending in the gym, which I believe is more beneficial for you. Before I got my supplements for free, that's exactly what I did and it's what I'll go back to doing if I ever get delisted.

Tobacco. Marijuana is an automatic expulsion, and harsher punishments. A ropes course is a physical outdoor activity that requires you to work as a team and "respect" each other to overcome numerous obstacles, generally made of or involving ropes. Things like climbing, moving through holes without touching certain points, etc. 10 days in Australia for external suspensions. It's illegal for them to assign us school on weekends, we need 2 consecutive days break.

Yes, but they'll never enforce that. I can be fined 3000 euro by the law in my school and possibly imprisoned for up to 6 months, law throughout public and private schools in Ireland. The fact that they even called the police is extremely strict, in my school it's a choice of 20 euro fine or calling your parents and telling them you were caught smoking. Guess what the obvious choice is. Funnily enough, they DO enforce it, to try and make the kids learn. My old primary school principal did 14 days for it, and 60 days for drinking. Numerous office employees at my high school were fined/given orders/suspended sentences. Not because it's a school, but because it's government property. The kids generally just get court orders, probation, ropes courses, curfew, etc, as well as 10 days suspension. Get suspended for more than 20 days in a year, and you are automatically expelled. The courts here tend not to punish anybody under 18 for anything.

You can actually go to jail for smoking in public schools in Australia.

Tried. I had a bad rep with the local police back then because of the friends I chose, they weren't exactly cooperative. But, what can you do, you report them, they bash you more. If you have been lying to cops constants and such, then they have reason to not believe you. However, they should be unable to judge you by your friends. Sounds like a pretty [bleep] bent cop to me. Never lied to a cop, no need to. They do whatever they damn well please anyway. They ALWAYS judge you by the friends you keep. Here in Aus, hanging out with the wrong crowed is reason enough to get you on the (s)hit list/board. He believed me, because it was the same story the Witness told him, he just didn't care.

Primary was 9:00am till 3:30pm Secondary was 9:00am till 3:00pm. Wednesdays was 9am till 11:48am. I think we had it easy compared to half of you :o

Think what you will dsavi, I have nothing to prove to people over the internet. Although if you wish, I'd be more than happy to regale you with numerous stories from my childhood, which as all things E & i, should be taken with a grain of salt. Your cousin shouldn't be bailing you out of trouble. Damn bent cops. Indeed. I used to play footy with a few "bent" cops. Whenever they'd cop a decent whack or get shut down by an opponent, said opponent would find themselves beaten or with a canary before the week was out.
