Exactly, so: Death of Chivalry is one, and that quest should be another requirement for one that shows Armadyl's true colors (and has very meager rewards), which in turn should be a requirement for participation of this Saradomin v Armadyl event... Make it have unescapable cutscenes WITH sound and subtitles, referencing other gods as well, so at least some information gets in... On top of that, it should be so that people's efforts beyond their cap should count just as much (but perhaps with much much less XP), and any form of organisation should far outweigh that of massive numbers just doing whatever... The REAL question I'd like to see now is this one: How does Mod Mark, the head of RuneScape in charge of development of everything etc etc, feel about players having lined up overwhelmingly on the side opposing his favourite god, resulting in its predicted, promised and inevitable demise?

He's still the weakest of the main Gods, by a longshot. (Supposedly Zamorak is on a lower tier post-BoL, but he still seems incredibly powerful). ;) The amount of followers really doesn't reflect on how powerful a god is, nor does the type or power of his followers... Just look at Zaros and Guthix... Don't forget that Armadyl just killed a god that was previously as powerful as Saradomin is now! Armadyl now re-controlling an Elder Artefact (we asume that Bandos' mace is one) should make him almost as powerful as Saradomin, and a lot more powerful than Zamorak... The little goblin that allows you to rewatch the cutscenes makes a prediction that Saradomin will next face off with Armadyl... Do you think Jagex put that in there by accident? Nuh-uh... That battle will be a helluva lot harder to predict the outcome of... Even the followers might surprise you: Zamorak's followers might team up on whoever's side is opposing Saradomin's, and Bandos' followers have already indicated to at least respect the Big High War Chicken... Personally I'm hoping there'll be a 3-way battle going on in which Zamorak sides with whoever is the weakest, hoping to turn the battle into one of attrition, weakening both Armadyl and Saradomin to a point where he is once again on their level...

Ofc not; Marimbo V Brassica will win...

New polls! And the biggest question is: Did anyone ever thing a traditional easter event would beat out Marimbo v Brassica Prime?

So any word on when exactly we get to sing: DING DONG THE BEAST IS DEAD!

For anyone wondering; Yes I did just see The Matrix: Reloaded before writing this :D

JAGIC! It's the new all improved mix of Logic and Jagex! Don't like to know what you can expect? JAGIC! Tired of things making sense? JAGIC! Have you just watched The Matrix and think you can't possibly be confused any further? JAGIC! You'll need it to understand it, and it rhymes with Magic too! JAGIC! Buy (into it) now!

I wondered if anyone's made the Butcher vs the Chicken pun yet ...

Even with good arguments? Dismissing them out of hand? What are you, religious? One of these arguments has to be Quality Assurance... The massive fally-massacre-esque mistakes that can creep in with any kind of update have been rare to nonexistent of late... Coding a feature for RS is one thing, fitting it in the existing game is quite another... If an update has to be delayed to prevent catastrophic failures, then I damn well want them to be delayed... But if the lack of of updates for your weekly RuneScape-fix is too much for you to bear, might I suggest that this weight on your shoulders you're feeling is nothing more than your own butt-cheecks?

By FAR most PvP is done in F2P, So the point I made is definitely a valid one... Whatever beef Bruno has with F2P, I'm curious...

As opposed to F2P melee is in pre-eoc

I feel this PvP discussion deserves its own thread and should be split off from this one... ESPECIALLY now that Jagex is going to revamp the whole thing...

Or you arm and armour yourself with momentum activated... And auto-retaliate, lets not forget that...

I so truly hope that these ambushers are now a permanent feature... The death of AFK-scape, how lovely... You shouldn't leave your computer while logged in, period. Btw, and correct me if I'm wrong, but "un-siding" with either team Jacob or team Edward (which ever god you're gaining renown for) should effectively stop the ambushes from happening right? Oh I love that they build in a solution to peoples' problems when it's a very unpopular one :D

Wait; what ambushes?

- Sacred metal shards are now dropped via divining, healing convoy members, building and tearing down buildings. I know I argued for the side of the peaceful one in the Tip.it Times, but I'm still of the opinion that these shards should only become available to you if you have PvP on...

Maybe some people want both for aesthetic purposes, and maybe people have become accustomed to this because of the last event? Maybe... JUST MAYBE... Some people should by now be used to being disappointed when it comes to dealing with Jagex...

And how is this a bad thing? Maybe people aren't supposed to get every single thing they want...

Mod Mark (the head of RS in general) favours Bandos.... Nuff said ;) Excellent spotting of the "Barnum statements" too... I should mention that this was a first for the Times, where we have two writers directly opposing one another and publishing at the same time, rather than one reacting to the other... Personally, I was hoping for a bit more fireworks, but if you guys like this kind of antagonism, who knows what can happen...

The articles featured on the Tip.it Times endeavour to change your mind about what side you have picked... Ready to be (re-)convinced? Go: http://www.tip.it/runescape/?times=all&date=264

World 27 is turning into quite the battleground with Bandosians making an effort to actually let their caravans succeed... Armadyl is losing that one... Request assistance...

Un-fun? As Armadyl has sided with me ;) I'd like to have fun and go to the Bandos occupied worlds to surprise the occasional straggler :D

Or the reverse :) Btw Just a suggestion; but is there a coordinated effort going on on our side (since obviously the vast majority of players voted to side with Armadyl)... Like a cc where people tell to go to what spot on what world and do whatever etc?

From the looks of it, Bandos might lose this one... But no worries, Tuska is on it's way, meaning we trade one beast for another... As usual in the world of Gielenor; the more they change, the more they stay the same...

Summ training in our citadel got a helluva lot better...
