I'm logging in for the first time in more than 75 days. Phew.

Ahahaha! This may seem weird, but this forum crash could not have happened at a more opportune time for me! It has wiped out everything on my blog saying that I was quitting. And I did quit for the rest of the school year, but now it is summer! Summer! What a time of joy and joyness; no school, relaxation (Euro 08), and no school. So now I've got some time but I've got time to myself. I'm still working out, running, playing A LOT of soccer, but I really don't have many scheduled activities, and I'm mowing lawns for cash money. So now, I can officially announce, I'm back for the summer! Woo! Oh, and since I was stupid a while ago and deleted my blog all on my own, I started keeping back-ups, so I've got my most recent version of my blog up-and-running now.

This is Ant's blog. I'm posting on it.

Thanks! Haha, thanks. I got the essay done easily, but I made myself some very poor notecards for what was possibly the hardest World Civ. test I've ever taken. I'm praying for a B, though I'll probably get a C. Enough blabbering, thanks for the post.

I summoned my way to 22 with the charms I collected, and I have all the secondary items, shards, and pouches banked for 42, I just need to collect charms... SO! Next weekend on Friday I'm going to Barrow it up and hopefully make around 1M or so, and on Saturday I'm going to head off to the magic palace or whatever it's called (the thing near the duel arena) and get bones to peaches. I'll then probably head back to Barrows to make a little cashoolah, buy a lot of nature runes, and fly off to the desert where the dust devils await me (Awesome charm drops, and everybody I've ever met, ever is getting a D Chain from them). It's too complicated to get to them in the Chaos tunnels, so I'm not going to waste my time there. There's the plan.

Thanks for the replies guys, it means a lot during this time.

I'll miss you so much... It was such fun to dodge your chat now and again (hehehe). It's really, really hard to leave this so abruptly, and I'm having a very hard time staying away from this forum... I guess I just need to ease myself away...

Yeah, I thought it was a pretty good reason to quit too... And I know 99 Range is awesome, which was why I was going for it, and I'm upset that I won't be able to complete that goal, but this move is for the best.

I've copied this many times, and I'm going to do it again. This is the original post on my blog that I made right before it was locked: "Hey this is Ben... I'm sorry to announce the closing of this blog. It's mainly for personal reasons that I won't go into, but I feel it's for the best. I'm trying to ease myself away from this game that's taken away some important things in my life. I'm sorry for the awful mood of this post, but there's no way I can lighten this up. I'm going to try and go away for a while, and quit this game. This may mean never completing my goal of 99 Range, but oh well, there are many more important things than a silly number and cape (I shouldn't say that, I still respect both of them). I want to apologize to anyone I might let down with this post, but it's something that I've got to do for myself. Tonight from about 11:00 PM to 3:00 AM I had a very long conversation with an old friend that hasn't been on much anymore, but I know outside of this forum and this game. I won't mention his name due to personal information I might reveal, but rest assured he is a great friend. I learned recently he is now in a relationship that knocked me off of my feet basically. Suddenly I began panicking and having a pseudo-mid-life crisis during highschool, freaking out about what I've missed, and it made me come to realize that it's time to end this before it really gets out of hand. I don't want to be that senior in high school who instead of accepting an invitation with friends, sits at his computer and plays a video game. I don't want to see myself there, and now I'm beginning to. I'd make a list for the great friends that have been with me along the way during my tenure in this game, but that list would be too long and drawn out to have any personal significance. So those who I've hung out with and talked with, and have been friends to me during hard times and good times, you know who you are, and I thank you for your support and love as I've progressed through this game. Know that I appreciate what you've done for me, and that I'll never forget our experiences. I'll end the best way I can... With something happy and lighthearted... Haha! Chuck Norris fighting a blue whale! What a funny picture! That not good enough for you? Fine... The whale is purple and is telling hilarious knock-knock jokes, and Chuck Norris is riding a unicorn. There. That's how I go out..." So there you go, I've gone and quit. I don't think I'll be gone forever, but I'll be gone long enough for most of the people here at tipit, and for that matter on my friends list, to forget who I am. I'll still pay regular attention on my clan forums, and sometimes tip it when I have the chance, but this really is a sudden and abrupt quitting. Most of you who posted on/had see my "Rate This!" thread never would have guessed that this was coming. I did play for fun, and it was fun, but the balance between this game and my life outside of it was beginning to become lopsided. I had to take a break, no, I had to quit. So that's just what I've done. I think I mentioned that I wouldn't make a list in the copied post above, and that's true, it would be informal and would lack sincerety-- I'll say it again: Those of you know who you are, and know that I love you, and care about you, and that I'll never forget our times together... Ever... So here is my final outfit, and stats. I regret that I won't get to start Summoning at all, but that's just luck. Quitting the day before a new skill comes out... Oh well. I sold all of my stuff (which the Grand Exchange just happened to lower in price right before I sold it), and I bought a Green H'Ween mask for posterity-- or for me, probably. I bought it just in case I come back and want to play, but I need money. Maybe when I come back it will be worth 50M? Maybe 100M? Maybe all the good armor and weapons will have gone down 5M-10M? But who knows? That time is a very long time into the future from now, and I most likely won't be seeing it. Without further adieu, here are my stats, and outfit: My Special New Outfit: My Final Stats: Goodbye everyone! I wish you all luck with your lives and Runescape careers! Love, ~Beniscool218/Benisawesome P.S. *Sniff* I love you guys

I'll still be on the forum occasionally, and I'm buying a Green H'Ween mask for fun, so don't think I'm gone FOREVER...

Please read the first post. Thank you everyone for your support.

What an awful trip! I expected much better... Hopefully next time.

My awesome new hat!

Congrats! You deserve this cape more than anyone I know! You worked so hard, and earned this! Congrats again!

You just want to be like me. Copy-cat pansy. I need to get back to ranging too, just need to swap out between different slayer monsters. Aventies or whatever the carp those thingys are called, don't appeal to me. If i rang em, I feel as if I'm wasting my time since I'll be getting a kill count, but not going into Kree'arra's lair. Besides, addy bars are for pansies. Good luck, I'll keep you motivated if you keep me motivated. How inspirational, lol. And I do want to be just like you. I WANT TO BE YOU. Just kidding... Or am I? No but really... I have no problem with the Aviansies, as I'm not an avid GWD Boss hunter, so the kill count thing doesn't really have an effect on me. Switching out slayer tasks is also a really good idea, but I'm just ranging in a different way than you (you are doing it classicly, I'm being a noob and doing the richie mcrich way, even though I'm not rich). And of course I'll keep you motivated, that's what ranger buddies are supposed to do!

By golly, I'm gonna be there for this! Congratulations! This has been a long and arduous task, definitely, but you've braved through it all the way, and it's about to finally pay off! I think I speak for everyone that belongs to the Tip it forums when I say that I am proud of you for accomplishing this, and you are uber 1337. Congratulations!!!

THE NEW PLAN: Yes, now if you are a up-to-date reader of this blog, then you will now how horribly the introduction is out-of-date. I'm not going to delete though, because I feel deleting things brings about bad luck and nasty roast beef. Yes. So I'm just going to add on this little snippet, tid-bit, chip, or whatever else you want to call it, onto the blog (Oh, but I deleted that old progress thing about "level days" and "funding days". Oops.). My new plan is super-duper innovative, and super-duper-calooper genius; it involves earning a super lork (look it up) of cash, but also getting range experience. This way is... Aviansies!. I'm going to do Eadgar's Ruse today for the ability to teleport to Trollheim and get easier access into the the God Wars Dungeon. When I finish that, I will immediately head over to the Aviansies with my super-stacked equipment and pulverize them into little itty bitty pieces. I will make lots o' money that way, as well as getting a bunch of range experience, and will use it to purchase chinchompas, to further extend my range experience. Good plan, eh?

Thanks so much! Here are some levelly (adjective form of "level") bits: 92 RANGE: 88 Hitpoints: Half-way there to 99 Range! Woo?

Dum dum dum diddly dee doo da dee dum

Yeah

Mmm... Well thanks for that bit of, err, advice, Kratmus. I think I'm going to be on this weekend because so far I don't have anything planned, but I might have a soccer practice during the day. If I do, I might not be on at all Saturday, but I'll be on a little bit Friday. Yeah. With 99 Range I'm going to try to kill some hard boss monsters solo and try to rake in some serious cash. 99 Range is really handy for stuff like that.

Thanks for the comments! Haha! I'm a kidder! I know! But seriously, I don't really care that much, but a glance at the blog and a nice post would be greatly appreciated. I mean, I don't have many friends, or much of a life, so I need all the attention I can possibly get, or I may fall into a spiraling depression in which I imagine the only outcome to be suicide or karaoke. But you know, whatever.

The revival of the 99 Range blog has begun. I shall inch ever closer to 99 Range throughout this year, and I might have it done by summer. We'll see. I must tell you however, that school has once again restarted after Winter Break, and I may not be on all that much until the next school break (Spring Break). I may be on this Friday, I may not. I may not be until 3 weeks from now, I may play a lot this weekend. We'll just have to see what's happening.

Hahaha, 600k Range experience today!

A doppleganger is a literary tool that describes a physical manifestation of some aspect of a character; usually a dark or brooding aspect. I wrote an expository essay on the theory of the doppleganger for the novel Frankenstein last semester. Hehe
