Marco

I am from: . . .Well I guess England seeing that I was born in London. . . And I currently live in: England Additional Comments: About as un-english as you can get without being born somewhere else. Full Portuguese mum and like ' misterxman' I have a lot of Venezuelan from my dad's side.

I've reported probably over 100 times and recieved so far 18 messages saying action has been taken on someone I've reported. Yes it's true that Jagex look at much more Member reports than F2p (paying money does get service) but don't stop reporting people, like others have said, thousands of reports are made everyday and it is impossible to view them all. Also I'm pretty sure that each rule you report for goes to a different department, for instance everyone knows that if you report somone for Macoring then it goes to a special team in Jagex which use different devices to detect it. Offensive Language is probably the least likely to result in action taken because that is the offense reported the most. From my experiance I think that Advertising (ie a macro site) results in the highest success rate. I'm not a mod and F2p. :boohoo:

Attack, Strength and Defense are all the same.

Er... Of course you can name players. On tip.it the only time you can't name a player is when it seems they broke the rules but have not been punished yet, otherwise Durial321 would not be allowed (he's been punished so it's okay to say it) and you wouldn't be able to mention the greats such as The Old Nite.

Hill Giants! Their skin is so soft and tender, feels so good on my Longsword! Makes me so happy!! :boohoo:

The old simple one; Hold the Control (Ctrl) key as you click on the map to go somewhere and you'll run without having to change to Run in the stance menu.

Sounds like a needed distraction from mining billions of Coal and Iron for 70 Smithing. Um bong0 87 Combat F2p! Later.

I'd like them to finish off the Full Frog Suit. They've got the Hat so far, just need some green legs and body. Hat; as it is, 1 token. Frog Body, 2 tokens Frog Legs (hah), 2 tokens All from the vastly underused Varrock Clothes Store.

Any chance of Tip.it members having the option to include polls into topics eg. 'Favourite Weapon?' This would save loads of posts with people saying one liners like 'Rune Scimmy etc..' or are you keeping the polls to just the one on the main Tip.it page? :boohoo: Um bong0

Hehe wish it worked for the custom beers like Wizard's Mind thingy. Still haven't got your old account Terp?

You got to put in Duke Freedom's famous article into the impact of Construction with a few graphs http://www.tip.it/runescape/index.php?times=44 And the updated total Gp Estimation http://forum.tip.it/viewtopic.php?t=472331 I'll find some more infamous articles later.

:-({|= Yeah it's really getting on my nerves now, everytime I load a World the music comes up. Anyone know how you can send it to the depths of ..oblivion where it can never return? Thanks.

Hey, sorry but could you make it so that when you want to write a message in a different colour the code acknowledges both color (American spelling) and colour (English spelling) please? The amount of times I've done... [colour=red]'Message'[/colour]... Thanks.

Nah forget that. Try the Desert mine thingy on the North-West side of the mine where there's 3 Iron rocks in a triangle.

I'll try and help although I'm only at AS Level Business Studies, got an A* at GCSE if that's worth anything anymore.. Just need a few things explained to me like these abbreviations here.. :? Was thinking of doing something like this this morning before my Business Stuides exam, you know that small period of Enlightenment you get just before an exam you haven't revised for and at that point where you're waiting for some Divine Intervention to happen.. Just a little moment of clarity =p

As it says in the Runescape guide, just report abuse when you see it.. As far as successful reporting goes.. In my experiance I think only one player has been banned as a result of Offensive Languange despite it being the most common thing I'd report when I first started the game. Now I never report people for Offensive Language unless the person avoids the censor and says something of great offense to the people around, by great offense I mean... Well.. Very very bad things. The most successful report that I send which so far has had 100% rate in action being taken is Advetising. Although I've only actually reported about 7 people for this everyone of them resulted in them being banned. Not one of those idiots that reports people for saying "try searching on tip.it" or similar, I only report this when a player advertises a macro bot site. For exaple "Go to (macrosite) to get Yew bots". If I see anyone saying "Search Google" or "Check your Hotmail, I e-mailed 30 mins ago" I'll never report. Reporting Macroing very rarely ends up in bans and neither does Password Scamming. Impersonating Jagex Staff has an almost 100% success rate for me. So far I've had.. *checks*..17 messages from Jagex thanking me for reporting, when I told a Pmod this he said I should have been a Mod ages ago and Recommended me or something but alas, nothing happened. If you try the Knowledge Base now it gives more detail on what and when you should report abuse.

Hahaha! I was there for that :P officially the 4th person to get through that stupid gate.. I love that guy in the back calling everyone else 'Door Noobs'!

I've never seen the point in fighting such high level'd monsters like Lesser and Greater Demons because of their high Combat Skills. You'll spend more time missing or hitting low numbers and eating than you would fighitng lower monsters like Hills or Moss Giants which give higher Experiance Points per hour.

Mmm okay you got a point with the Magic and Range pures but I just want to concentrate on the Melee formula, maybe I'll figure out how they come into this properly (if possible) another time. Guess I should rename the Topic to suit what I'm on about.. Uh huh, if Pures are working at all at low levels then it's because typicaly a Pure Pker will not be the player's first account, so they would already have experiance in how the game works. I wondered about that actually, if the Melee Combat is equal then why isn't is equal to level up? But... then I checked the Combat Calculator and it is actually equal so forget that =p

Yeah good example, exactly what I mean. People just want to see big numbers now..

I'm talking about melee combat differences in Attack, Strength and Defense. Are these three really equal? Many PKers believe Strength has the upper hand in every combat situation between melee players with Attack 2nd in importance and Defense usually kept at either 5 (Steel armour) or 40 (Rune armour). They argue that the bigger the number you can hit, the more likely you are to kill someone 'Obviously all about power'. o.0 Is this really true though? If you look at what Runescape's Knowledge Base has to say about typical PKers; Just to clarify the three skills; Attack - Having a higher attack level means you will hit the opponent more often. Strength - Strength ultimately determines the amount of damage you can deal with a hit to an opponent. Only determines how hard you can hit someone (nothing to do with woodcutting). Defense - Defence refers to the chance you have of being hit from attacks. Nothing to do with how much you can get hit by. Theoretically if two players who were exatcly the same combat level using the same weapons and armour were to fight with the 1st player having typical PKer statistics of Att.50 Str.60 Def.40 and the 2nd player having balanced skills of Att.50 Str.50 Def.50 then they would die at exatcly the same time. Of course this is so unlikely to happen because hitting is random, the 1st player may hit 8s every time while the 2nd player may hit any number withing their range at no set frequency. If this is true then why would people spend extra time leveling up say just Strength? All swings and roundabouts, while you be able to do more damage with a Strength pure a Defense pure will take less damage.

I can do 15 with a Rune Longsword at 70 strength. Calculator says I should be able to hit 16's... Cheeky calculator.

In my opinion that's a good change. People shouldn't have been saying it to begin with, as the real version of the word was censored. It doesn't bother me at all, since I always just say "darn" or something else. This new censor is really getting on my nerves. Not only is my only word to let out frustration, 'dam' blocked, but also part of my name; "bong" It should be Bongo but no one seems to notice that zero. Also this censor just doesn't work, just went into Varrock bank to see someone who just discovered the most popular "F" word was now sayable by just typing "2(the word)2" Seeing that it's a new censor if enough people ask Jagex to uncensor certain words d'you think they will? Heh, just seen crowds of people realise you can say what you want if you put a 2 before and after any word.. Bring back the old censor..

Yeah unfortunatly the original Um Bongo (English 90's juice drink) was taken, lucky guy...

Oh yeah, another thing, these kiteshields by any chance called rune (h) or something along those lines? What does (h) stand for and what colour is it? I really should know this at my level..
