I just watched Dodgeball and fished Rocktails for two hours..made 600k. I was crying until I realized how good the money was. 90 seems to be worth it. :) I'm not sure that I'll ever make it to 90 :lol:

Now I'm getting 80 fishing to help with stealing creation a bit. I don't like fishing! :P

We're cool because we have the same farming level! :mrgreen: Good luck with your goals :)

Here's the proper link: :P

A fan of space art? :lol: I recognize a lot from deviantART but you left out one of my favourites! [hide][/hide]

For Hati there's only an 80% chance of getting loot I believe :) Try again!

I have 8GB of RAM (and I even played on another computer with only 4GB) and it runs perfectly fine. So yeah, it's probably a good guess that it's your graphics card. That's really the most important component for games.

Can we play with the formatting if it's in hide tags? If it doesn't break the forum layout at any time or affect load times, you can use whatever BBCode you want. But if it changes the layout or makes for an annoying/obtrusive viewing experience - no.

Guys please don't try to mess up the page formatting with BBCode. It's not cool.

I take it you mean Reese's? :P I love all the Reese's products.. the actual peanut butter cups, the cereal, the Reese's Pieces... om nom nom. Only since 2006 :mrgreen: On an unrelated note.. I'm a bit pissed. I have platinumed all the God of War games except for GOW3.. and I'm absolutely failing on Titan mode >_<

Meanies :(

You should really use CSS for all your design elements. If you'll be changing a lot of the design elements you should use an external CSS stylesheet like this: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <link href="stylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"> </head> <body> </body> </html> Also note that I added an HTML5 doctype (you can change that to another doctype if you want) and I fixed your body tags. The opening body tag starts after the ending head tag. Then in your stylesheet.css document, use CSS to add a background image like this: body { background-image:url('MrMan.jpg'); } If you don't want to use an external stylesheet, you can do it like this: <!DOCTYPE html> <html> <head> <style> body { background-image:url('MrMan.jpg'); } </style> </head> <body> </body> </html>

Congratulations! :)

I won't be changing my name but I'm glad to hear this and I'm sure a lot of people will appreciate it :)

Yeah Trooper is a range tank class, which is quite interesting :P

The problem is that you're talking about an ideal situation. Believe me, we would LOVE to have more active moderators who are already knowledgeable about the game. We do have a pretty extensive training process to ensure that new moderators know what they're doing and that they'll make good decisions/judgements on the public boards. But in the past we've still seen problems like these moderators just ignoring the rule-breaking posts around them, not participating in moderator discussions AT ALL, not performing the correct moderator action, etc. And I think it's a good thing that we have high standards for our moderators.. otherwise you'd probably be complaining about a lot more ;) I'm just saying it's very, very hard to find moderators who fit what you're looking for. They don't have to be online 24/7 but they do have to be fairly active and read up on moderator discussions when they occur. That's not hard to do but we have had moderators who just don't pay attention to them at all and as a result, they're not updated on our recent rule changes or moderator policies. That's the kind of thing that would result in unfair warnings and heavy criticisms of the moderator team (rightfully so). Our absolute ideal moderators are people who: Are active on the forums as regular users, and as such, they are able to moderate and solve problems when they come across them (before they are reported even); Handle reports as well; Serve as leaders/role models for the community; Follow the rules and don't have a history of rule-breaking; AND participate in moderator policy/rule discussions. Then you can add RuneScape knowledge as a bonus. I guess part of me is wondering why you're not currently satisfied. Yes we can always improve and get more great moderators, but I think we already have a great bunch. Just to name a few: @Quyneax is absolutely invaluable in Help & Advice. She's one of the go-to so sources for combat training suggestions. Even I read up on her advice. Just read through her post history to see what I mean. She also regularly participates in General Discussion and BlogScape. @Leik is huge in BlogScape. He's a big member of that community and by engaging in peoples' blogs, he's very easy to get to know and become friends with. @Randox posts all over - in RuneScape boards and Off-Topic boards. Furthermore, she's a member of our Monster Hunting Team, which makes her a great person to hang out with and get to know in-game. She moderates the forums and is very community/game-oriented. has been very, very helpful in Help & Advice, which is one of the reasons we noticed him as a potential moderator. He regularly offers great advice and participates in topics in General Discussion. These are just a few examples. I don't think we're quite as lacking as you're implying. Again, we're always happy to have more, but how many until you think we have enough knowledgeable moderators? I would also like to say that if something breaks the rules that requires game knowledge to fully understand, we always ask that our RuneScape knowledgeable moderators take care of it. Or at least the moderator taking action discusses it with a game knowledgeable moderator first to understand the situation.

But the whole point of the moderator role is enforcing the rules and managing the community. If we had moderators who just helped assist with game knowledge, they wouldn't be moderators. We have very knowledgeable crew members and regular users for helping out in the community with RuneScape knowledge. If our moderators did it, the only benefit would be that they happen to have a green coloured name.. and I don't particularly see how that's a benefit. You're concerned about having moderators who aren't knowledgeable about the game.. but if we have "inactive" but RuneScape-knowledgeable moderators, they would be ignorant about actually moderating. They wouldn't know our rules well enough and generally wouldn't be good moderators. The best moderators we have are those who are engaged in the community and extremely active moderators who are up to date and involved in all our private rule discussions. Having people moderating who aren't even active enough to bother being involved in those discussions would NOT end well. This is a criticism about our actual forum rules rather than moderators (which is fine, but they're two different things). Encouraging and "advertising" gambling/trust trading are very, very clearly against the rules. I'm not saying that will never change, but if your post gets removed for that the moderator is just doing his/her job. There's nothing wrong with the actual moderator. Instead, challenge the actual rule rather than the moderator who's doing their job just fine. Right now our rule is that general discussion about the topics is fine. You can talk about them existing and seeing them happening and Jagex's stance, but you cannot encourage the action or advertise it (i.e. "Hey try gambling out!" or "Join my dicing clan!").

Honestly, this has proven to be almost impossible. We would love to get more active RuneScape players on staff. We have tried recruiting quite a few but they have either rejected the offer outright or have proven to be more passionate about RuneScape than Tip.It, resulting in inactivity and generally not top notch moderator work. It's hard to find someone who is both active and knowledgeable in-game and is still qualified to be a moderator. While I do understand the desire for more variety, and all of us would like to get more active RuneScape players on the team, I honestly don't think we're at a huge disadvantage right now as you are implying. For starters, being a moderator/admin on Tip.It is about enforcing our own rules and management. It isn't about playing RuneScape and who has the best stats. And secondly, we do have quite a few people who still actively play RuneScape: Siobhana tripsis Kimberly Quyneax Ellac Leik Randox Ezkaton Lord_Paul I may have even left some out. That's 8/21. Not quite half, but considering that I may have missed a few and some of our moderators are 100% dedicated to Off-Topic, I don't think that's a horrible number. It is very important to consider that just because someone actively plays RuneScape does not mean they would be an active or good/quality moderator. All it means is that they may end up posting more in RuneScape-related forums, which would help you get to know the team better, which is a good thing and something that I value, but once again it doesn't mean they're qualified to actually be a moderator. Furthermore, I know we have had some issues in the past, but especially in recent months, I haven't seen many of the issues you brought up: If you have some recent examples I would really love to see them. To avoid pointing fingers and bashing people, you are welcome to PM me any examples. I'm not even really sure what you mean by "mommy and daddy type warnings." Warnings are necessary. They're a way of 1) informing a user that they have broken the rules, 2) explaining why we have this rule and why it's important, 3) helping the user to understand the rule, 4) helping them avoid violating it again, 5) and informing them of the consequences should they violate it again. It's not meant to be punishment, but a form of education. Yes we have rules, you may not like them, but you do have to follow them. Warnings are meant to be a non-punishing way of letting the user know that they have violated them so they can be more careful in the future.

Heroic quests are just quests intended for groups of people :)

You can very easily play alone. Just skip the heroic quests (although honestly some of them can be soloed).

I might be able to make the KQ :) Except this will be interesting because I've never actually fought her before lolol.

Tempting! I am majorly deprived of sour skittles right now :(

Okay you honestly really can't tell someone how they will react in a situation. You can't say with confidence that every single person would immediately want to have sex with a man that they find attractive. People are different. Some people are extremely reserved and generally not big on intimacy. Some people just don't have high sex drives and they would also be less prone to these erotic/sexual "z0mg must jump your bones" emotions. Your duel arena example doesn't work at all because it assumes that someone is at the duel arena in the first place. If someone is there (especially regularly), odds are they already have a bit of a problem with gambling or they like the risk. So any rules they make there, sure they're bound to break sooner or later. In order for the comparison to work with sex, you'd have to ONLY be looking at people who are already highly intimate or sexual (and that doesn't seem to be the case with Randox). Otherwise your duel arena example would have to also apply to people who almost get dragged to the duel arena against their will.. and IMO if that's the case, they're probably going to follow their rules because they're not all that interested in it in the first place and they'll probably only duel once or twice.

Mine was runecrafting :) Next will most likely be woodcutting and I'd kind of like magic at some point as well.
