harakoni

i dont, i think my sarcasm is lost on you... a far few of you... i'm well aware of most all meanings of the term UBER, i just choose the funnier option in my description.

heh, memories, to think i wrote this a year ago and there's still a few replies coming in... i apologise for not adding too many updates but i now no-longer play Runescape. Also, i have become socially adept, rendering my humour and self awareness a mere bi-product of scorned individualism... heh...

pillow fights...

woah, i want a rl name with 123 on the end too!!! k this post has flamed too far will you guys freekin leave the punkster alone! let him make his point and if you cant criticisise constructively, then toodle off. he doesnt want to hear your freekin life story, and i sure dont!

sorry for streotyping but: PUNK AND STUCKUP CANNOT BE USED IN THE SAME SENTENCE!!!

I think sligo's repetitive posts are annoying.

thaks guys, i've been unable to update for a few days as my connection was screwed over ill get right back to it after this commercial break: "Theme tune to the A-team..."

pure unadulterated genius! a long time fan

soory to cause a fuss, but i have found a very reserved statement hidden on jagex's commercial pages "Jagex Ltd, developer and publisher of the MMORPG adventure game RuneScape, is looking for imaginative people to join the content development team on a permanent basis. Your role will primarily be to build creatures, shape virtual worlds, design quests and storylines for our new, undisclosed game" i might be reading a bit deep into it, but i just thought i would bring it to the attention of anyone on tip.it who hasn't seen it before NEW FINDINGS! "Our ambition for 2006 is to exceed 850,000 subscribers for RuneScape, to take RuneScape into other non-english language markets and to develop further games using our technologies." so not far off then

a great idea, and it seems you have picked it clean add me to your supporters list, um... if i might make my ownlittle bit of constructive criticism i'd like to point out a few minor things: bad +you didnt state wether or not exp would be gained uring the game or just afterwards +1k exp isnt very much as a reward +i think the map should be made bigger with corner bases like c wars and possibly without the river as it would end up a tiny battle ground expecially at the crossing points +force people to use all four corners, unlike c wars +it may cause exp availability unbalance good +it would be an excellent skill trainer, though possibly too good. +its a great idea additions +thick jungle as an obstacle to cut paths through +possibly no icons on mini map to show comoflaged enemy, though they are visible as soon as they are near enough to your village to be a threat +exp is available through what you do eg wood cut, mine, smith etc, but as it is low level (bronze or even stone) low exp is given so as not to unbalance exp availability +it maybe good to have the possibilities for teams to appoint an official leader or organise whos doing what unlike cwars, where evry one shouts crazy things etc. though again this may be a stupid idea, as some people dont listen... pointers +make sure even level 3's can find something useful to do otherwise it limits your potential audience +making it too complicated reduces its appeal to jagex, give them enough ideas but let them build on it other wise they will not feel they have any real connection too it +try to send it to jagex by snail-mail if you can possibly find out how, they will take more notice as it shows more dedication to task and it stops them thinking its just another stupid forum post evryone got excited about ill post another one of these if anything else crosses my mind, which it undoubtedly will...

After learning of what is known as brute force hacking (cracking) devices that work on the basis othat your account be accessed by guessing the pass using a programme that generates passes randomly (though theirs a little more too it than that i hear) and tries them. i have come up with a few ideas to prevent this type of hacking from taking place altogether Idea one: putting a safety number of failed attempts on an account brute force prgrammmes work by repeatedly getting passes wrong, untill they find the right one, this i guess can probably take ages. but if an attempted log in was failed 20 times in a row, due to an incorrect password then my idea is to bring one of two things into play either the account which is thought to be "being hacked" could be locked completely from access for 20 minutes (at least) Or the user could be asked to identify one of those "computers cant understand these" pictures to ensure that it is a person in controll or other wise the account will be locked for 20 mins or more also i though it would be usefull for players to be able to set something similar to a temporary ban on their own accounts to freeze them from access by anyone for a time scale set by them say anywhere up to 48 hours. to secure an account from access incase say some one has found a keylogger or that they have been warned before hand. this is more of an extention to a topic i posted in help and advice forums so check that out if you feel it might enlighten you as to why feel free to add to this and constructive criticism is always appreciated. and anyone thinking of calling me a noob, please refer to the noob-tionary below. thank you

bumped, due to mucho-newcontento (thats spanish for word added)

thanks bud, i seem to remember your username from some where :D any way ill get the first chapter finished asap but fraid i had to go out soon after starting to type 'sighs'

Is this the correct place for a partially real, partially ficticious blog? Hello and welcome! To the trials and tribulations of a young adventurer. My blog will be an account of the day to day happenings of Harakoni a young merchant who travels the world peddling his wares, fighting evil and gathering the skills nececary to become... well, rich really! With his dry humour, satirical comments and big words, our young adventurer writes only for the pleasure of his readers and, of course, for Falador! Most characters have been given ficticious names, and a few invented. This is for a number of reasons including: + 'No-naming-names' rule for trouble makers + Identity protection + I forgot their actual name + Their name was boob-head79. if i have used your name it is coincidental, or i saw you online and though it was good enough to be stolen. if you dont want your name to be associated with this marvelous epic! please pm me so i can remove/change it/laugh at how i portrayed you Chapter 1 Closed until Sundown Thwack! An Arrow lodged its self into to the door, above and a little to the left of our young adventurer. Out of the shadows cast by the furnace house a small group of scarred bandits emerged, harsh shadows thrown across their face by the deep red glow. Looking more than a little evil Leutenant L. doosk swaggered foward a few paces, stumbled over a loose cobble stone before regaining his footing and looking at harakoni sheepishly. "And why might you be out quite so early in the day?" he demanded, almost as if his appearance had been a statement in its self. "Its not early" replied Harakoni "Its bloody mid-day" Im British remember" our hero paused for a moment unsure of wether to add a question mark to a rethorical question. "Ah, well then, be on your way young one" "Right you are" replied Hara with a smile. [it looked a bit like this; : ) ] Soon after Lt. L. Doosk had left Harakoni to his own company an old friend, slightly grubby from years spent Mining coal in the seams below the town and also due to a severe lack of baths, Lappshaddy appeared walking alongside him. Despite his Irish name he spoke with a strong northern accent. "Hi Hara!" chirruped lappshaddy, adding the time-honoured Faladian greeting, "nice Weather, eh?" "Yes," said Harakoni, with the time-honoured Faladian reply "charming" It was a typical kind of faladian day, not a drop of rain, nor a glimpse of sky. The tall towers of the white castle gleaming, each acid rain damaged, moss coated brick picked out clearly in the half-light of the Morning Sun. Its slightly torn blue Standards waving slightly in the low wind. Of course, it wasn't a breeze, breezes are found only in the sun. "I havent seen you for a while" lappshaddy let on. "Yes, i was down with a Virus." Looking appaled Lappshaddy asked, "which one?" "Oh," replied our hero, "Just a bit of smallpox. Nothing to worry about really. So how are you getting on with the mining? suppose your a lot better since we last spoke, about six months ago." "Oh, yes well remember how the Mod-god's of runescape had deemed you a rank 70 miner?" "Yes, yes." Harakoni replied his voice full of pride, with only a slight hint of anticipation "Do go on." "Well they have now deemed me to be of Rank 72!" Harakoni promptly strangled his friend. "Well" thought our hero, aloud "I guess my title as the best miner amongst our group has been lost. I guess it may be time to move on to other things." "Shut up, you nutter!" hollered a woman from an upstairs window. "Sorry!" came the reply, just as loud "I dont realise I'm doing it sometimes" "And you can get off my Begonias whilst your at it" "Right you are, Mrs Lady-man-person-sir" Harakoni said confusedly, saluting. At that very moment a slightly befuddled Lappshaddy shambled around the corner, spotted Harakoni and bolted into an alley with a squeak. After a number of attempts to call the terrified friend to his side Harakoni figured that the best thing to do was to search the alley. This was however easier said than done there were after all, so many places for an armourless youngling to hide; behind the dumpster, in the dark doorway or even in an empty crate labeled "BEWARE! Dwarven fire-whisky". Eventually after checking all these places Our intrepid adventurer found his quarry disguised as a techni-coloured egg, his cover blown only by the thick layer of coal dust that slightly dulled the red and green shell. "Tig, your it" unable to resist the urge lappshaddy cracked open his shell in a flash of blue-grey light and attempted to assert him self the winner. "Alright, alright" said Harakoni grabing his friend by his tigging-finger and twisting "Look, I've got a plan..." he began "No freekin way" Interrupted lappshaddy "The last plan of yours we undertook ended with us strung by our ankles and almost sacrificed to he-who-must-not-be-named by the dark wizards of Varrock" "He who must...?" started Harakoni "C'mon Hara, surely you know that saradomin has told us we cant call him..." "Yeah, well, anyway. Are you actually trying to tell me that wasnt fun?" "Fun, FUN? you call... "Right, right. Ill just ask Mer then." mumbled Harakoni sadly, though he was secretly glad he was the first to finish a sentence. Chapter 2 By golly, thats Maad! Later that day Harakoni and his good Friend Mer found them selves heading south to find adventure, merchanting their way across the world of Runescape. A Merchant her self, after all that was her full name, Mer knew exactly what she was doing. Harakoni though, well that was a different story. A not-too-tough warrior-miner who often turned his hand to a bit of smithing too [aswell as Woodcutting, fletching, cooking and thumb twidding amongst other things]. Harakoni could often be found pedling his runite wears [Not made by him self of course] in falador park, though he was often moved on by Authorities due to excessive use of white waves and smilys, he considered him self an adequate Merchant capable of making a generous ammount of cash each day. He was ofcourse sadly mistaken, with hours between sales at times and profits minimal he still undoubtedly had a lot to learn, his intentions were good though and he had what it takes, an addictive personality and an obsession with money. Mer saw him as more of a small stupid Monkey than a person but she knew he had somethiing in there, somewhere. UNFINISHED, OBVIOUSLY, GIVE ME A WHILE ;) Any similarities between Falador and Britain are purely intentional. Currently i thank: LappShaddy - A good, yet slow, friend LtlDoosk - A great guy who I havent seen in a long time

as a selw proclaimed obsessive merchant ill give you a few pointers and facts: 1. mostly merchanting is a full time affair and can be very boring at times 2. merchanting can be hard, unless you have a natural gift for it its someting you should probarbly only be a part time merchant 3. standing in fally park on world two shouting out your wares for possibly hours between sales isnt the most confidence building thing you can do, but stick with it and you will get a sale 4. merchants need good memory, and often good multiplication skills. hings youll need to know are the (up to date) prices of all the items you are selling (or buying) on both free and members worlds all the different areas that items are sold in 5. a startup cost is required technicallty this can be any ammount but the higher the input the higher the out put 6. beware of scammers and switchers etc . its been said before but ill say it again allways check the second screen. the more you trade the more likely it is some one will try and scam you thats all i can think off right now so, ciao
