Should F2P get skill capes?
Perhaps, but at this point in time, basically any P2P skill (even in the early levels) has something that F2P has no access to. Of course, Thieving is one example to the opposite, since you can just pickpocket until some stalls are opened up. That is another reason they are not little things. Opening up new skills ultimately opens up new items and in at least one case, a quest. Opening up just herblore could lead to a need for Druidic Ritual, Taverley, Members Dungeon which would open up some new creatures, unless properly restricted. That might be the only skill that complex, but that is a quite a bit of new content for one update to F2P.

Giant Trampoline! NEW QUESTION!
My friend had one for most of his childhood and the springs never once gave out. But, uh, the canvass did rip... Yeah, they had too many people on it, I guess. I wasn't there when it happened, luckily... Nobody was hurt. But as long as you use it wisely, they can be safe.

Old and New Emotes -- Simple Solution.
Yeah, "old" might not be the best choice of words. But either idea would be good with me.

Coping with the Death of a Friend
In the 4 and a half year I was in Secondary school, I lost an aunt, 2 uncles, and 2 family friends. Since then, in 3 years, I have lost a cousin, and another pair of family friends. You juts have to let yourself do what you need to do. If you need to cry, cry. I didn't, but that's just me.

Greatest Cause of Human Misery
Bingo. No universe, no humans, no misery. Those are some great books, though. But I think desire wins it, in my view. Whether you desire love, power, (99 in a skill by tomorrow, perhaps?) whatever. If you cannot get it, you will eventually find misery. And without it, failure wouldn't be noticed, since there is no desire to achieve a task.

Should F2P get skill capes?
Skills, even only to level 30, are not "little things". Skills are the main part of this game, as such, it makes perfect sense to keep a percentage of them as P2P. Little things would be more like seldom- or never-used items that we would realistically have access to without doing quests or skills from members, or skill capes. And I agree with your second part. Because they weren't originally released for F2P, they will most likely never be. And part of that reason is because they DO bring in new members. Even if they only get 1 month, that's $5+ that they wouldn't have gotten before. There are more than you would think, but I guess as a percentage it is far lower than members.

Another boneheaded move by Jagex
I was just going by the 2 "main" generalizations- Skillers and PKers. Of the 2, I am a skiller. I don't pk... at all.

Should F2P get skill capes?
At this point, you're right. We should no longer get them. If we were going to get them, it should have been at release. To give them now, although I wouldn't complain, would not be the best option. I wonder how many people would have complained if they were released for F2P from the start... Probably a quite a few.

do you agree with current school policy?
Half of it was already put in before I finished school 3 years ago. Unfinished work had to be given second chances, but copied work could still be given a zero. Only in Canada. For all I know, it was only my school, but it shows that it can get through. Actually, no... I know at least 2 schools have it, as my sister's school has it, now. Both in Canada, though.

Saddest Movie Scenes?
Just so you know, it is actually The Pursuit of Happyness, not Happiness. It is explained pretty early in the movie why they go against the actual spelling. And more proof about the dog theory... Marley and me, near the end.

Auto equip arrows!
This should help clear it up: For obvious reasons it won't allow multiple arrow types in the same quiver without an update to it.

What movie(s) did you last see?
Terminator Salvation- I usually don't like Christian Bale, but even that didn't stop me liking this one. It wasn't my favourite of the year, but it was not bad. 7/10 Gran Torino- This one took over top spot for movies I have seen this year. I am definitely buying it. 10/10

People who are ranging without the us of safe spots, perhaps? Not everybody uses those.

Hard Work
On the main topic of hard work, I would not say it is hard, but it can definitely be work. I have worked on my current account for around 5 years, and have gotten to level 116 with 1248 total, fully in F2P. I work outside of the game, but not usually full-time hours. I would love to have full-time hours, but it just isn't in the cards right now. But at lower levels, to some people, getting most 99s would look like hard work, even though it isn't really that hard at all. It is all about perspective. As for the less relevant topic of low levels vs high levels, I agree with Sworddude. It is not a level that determines who you are. I have met plenty of respectable lower levels, and plenty of the opposite. Likewise with high levels. The same goes with younger and older players, as well, although usually to a lesser extent in my experiences.

The Jagex Mentality
My thoughts exactly. Just because they removed it, doesn't mean it is gone for good. They could still be looking into it, trying to get it right. I'm sure we'll find out at a later point.

Today...
Today... I got up at 10am, played some PS2 for about an hour, then watched the last of the Saturday morning cartoons. I came online and haven't really done anything yet. I might end up at a visitation for a person I never met, because her husband taught me for 3 years, and then I'll be going to a Drive-In to see Terminator Salvation and Gran Torino. I'll probably get home and go to bed, or maybe play PS2 for a bit first.

Possible Missing Link
I'm just sad they didn't get any DNA from it. I never liked how taxonomists classed species based on their anatomy, I prefer when people make the links based on DNA. I'm still waiting on an evo-devo scientist to start compiling a new life tree based solely on DNA-relatedness.. I got the idea during a genetics exam, wrote a paragraph on the last page and my teacher loved the idea. The only setback, however, is that a project at such a large scale would require thousands of scientists and super-computers. Linking species through DNA-relatedness would finally put an end to all the bickering between Biologists that never leads anywhere, and could help scientists have a more concrete evidence for their research. Yes, that is a shame, but I find it interesting nonetheless.

Military choices.
Honestly, I don't think the military is right for me, but if I had to choose one part it would be the Navy. I don't know why, but it has always been the one that stuck out the most for me.

Signature change - please state your opinions
I kinda like it. I would say to keep it, although the choice is ultimately yours.

Possible Missing Link
Igoring all of the religion vs science in this thread, I think this is a very interesting discovery. I figured we had just about reached the end of the line in the evolution theory, and then this discovery pops up... From 1983 no less!

Things you're afraid of.
I think my biggest fear is becoming completely dependant on others. I have a fear of sorts of public speaking and crowds, as well... Also, watching other people get injections creeps me out, but I can watch the needles go into me no problem.

Worn off.... Suggestion
I don't really PvP, but this sounds like it could be useful. I don't see any reasons to not have it, so :thumbup:
