Never, ever tell a woman that she's much older. Bad, bad, bad. Especially when she wields two handed ban hammer in each hand.

One of the articles mentions a purple partyhat.

You forgot me, how could you? :cry:

I have seen Ard wear a purple party hat.

The balloons you have access to after finishing Enlightened Journey. I am quite sick today, so no real playing. :( Got this though -

That's a heck of an eye for detail. Will everyone help me convince her to get 99 thieving? It's her favorite skill!

Thanks! Today I lost my ninja greegree, so I had to go make more. That was nasty, but I ended up making 4 of them plus another m'speak. That should keep me safe for a while, I hope! Oh, and 3d, I planked all of those oaks. Thanks! With the balloons, it looks like I can do 1000-1500 an hour without super energies (at 76 agility).

Actually, making steel bars into plates is quicker xp for smithing, from my understanding.

Apparently more than a few people get their jollies by being jerks to other people. Sad and sickening, all at once.

Very nice. I've done close to 8m XP at the pyramid and only had one sceptre... and that was in the first 200k xp.

Do they let out the mummies on 120?

Knock it off, Poker. This thread has been cleaned from a flame war you started once; making us do it twice would not be good.

9/10, buddy

It's not my responsibility to give someone else a thrill, is it?

Jorus, that depends. My thieving will be 99 by then easily, but I'm wondering about the other skills. I think I'll make it though. Thanks everyone!

That's me, the master flamer. :P Keep up the skilling, Mystery.

Well, that's your prerogative to think that way! Perhaps they designed it that way, but I do seriously doubt it. As for strategy, I don't see holding as a viable strategy. Viable, in this case, means that it has a weakness. Don't tell me that the fact that you can kill the holder is a real weakness. It's like mashing the god button if the right person gets the flag, and to me, that screams unbalanced. I could get 94 mage easily if I wanted, that's not the point.

And the big one of the day...

Keep it up, just don't go nuts from smelling the ammonia.

I have played a lot of CTF games, and I've never seen one that allows you to hold your own flag. This tells me Jagex is guilty of poor design, and that those who take advantage of this poor design are not cheating. Personally, I think that holding destroys all other chances at strategy. If your only option it to immediately go with the nuclear option, that's no fun in my book. I've played bad fighting games like this, where you could settle into a series of moves/blocks that would stalemate the game. Thing is, you almost have to hold your own flag, since if the other team holds theirs you're going to be slaughtered. It only works if neither team holds, which isn't going to happen. In the end, it comes down to poor design by Jagex. I just expect that it's on their list of things to fix. Abuse it while you can!
