I thought Abramovich wanted to invest in the youth structure at Chelsea and avoid big money signings. The offer for Torres and the approach for Luiz seems like a knee jerk reaction to be honest.

Missed 86 Fletching pic, doing mithril bolts w/mousekeys up to 90 which is like 300k xp/hr. Hurts my finger though. :thumbup:

How many times can you exercise a week? I think you're right in that intervals would be most beneficial, but building an aerobic base by doing longer endurance is also important. If I were you, I'd do something like a 100m sprint followed by 50m walk as many times as you can without the sprint pace dropping too much. Aim for 10+
Shuttle drills would also be good for football, something like sprint 10m, back to base line, sprint to 20m, back to baseline, sprint to 30m etc. up to 100m +
I mentioned an aerobic base, best thing for that is doing one long run or cycle per week if you can. The aim with this isn't to knacker yourself but to improve your overall CV fitness, which carries through to any sprint stuff you do. If you can get a heart rate monitor that would be good, for the AT (sprint) training your heart rate should be 90-100% of it's maximum (~200) whereas for the endurance stuff it'll be about 50-60%.
I go to the gym three times a week so it wouldn't be difficult to encorporate more aerobic exercises into my normal routine. Should I be doing this before or after I've been lifting weights?

This "sexist comments" story by the SKY guys is funny.
Why make such a big deal about? Ok, i know UK is quite pc... But come on.
It's a joke, it would work in the pub, ok not the smartest thing to say while they're on their job, but just get on with it. Apologize and run on.
I don't have any problems with females refereeing, as long as they pass the same tests as the guys, welcome.
They were taped off air whilst their microphones were still on, I don't know if you actually heard it but they clearly weren't joking and it's quite bad for the game to have two of the most recognisable sports presenters in Britain to be heard talking with such archaic viewpoints.

In terms on non-cb skills I have bought everything I need to complete my goals, so I was wondering what is the best thing for me to save up for next? I have about 10M and a rl friend has 60M he wants to give me when free trade comes out. I am probably thinking in terms of monster hunting as opposed to Slayer. I don't have Bandos yet so I was considering that or otherwise saving up for the ~120M needed for 95 Prayer. I'm not sure how much more 95-ish herblore would cost for OVLs but I'll consider that. I'm not planning on getting a chaotic in the near future if that influences anything. Of course if I've forgotten something that is very useful and I don't have it please suggest. :thumbup:

My stamina blows when I don;t do any cardio.
Just do any sort of good cardio activity; running, jogging, shadow boxing, rowing etc etc and keep pushing yourself a little bit more.
Say you can shadow box for 1 minute before you are like omg need to stop.
Push yourself to do say 1m 1/2 min
Then when your wall becomes 1 1/2 min push to do 2mins etc.
mostly it jsut takes time.
I think a part of it has been not getting back into the gym properly since exams and stuff, but I was wondering if there are any specific cardio exercises that would suit 6-aside football because I'm not looking for long distance but more short bursts.
-
I'm in a 6-aside football league but I really need to improve my stamina cos it's pretty poor, so I was wondering if I could get some advice on that. They are short games (35 mins) but high intensity so I imagine some sort of interval training would be useful. I've been running on a treadmill three times a week doing 1minute on one speed, increasing for another minute, increasing for another and then decreasing down to the original etc, but I was wondering if there was anything else that I can do on top of that or as an alternative.

When I was around 4, one time I grabbed a cat that hung around my house by the tail and spun in circles and let it go flying through the air like a hammer throw. Then I went after the cat and did it again a few times before I got bored.
I can still remember the sound it made, and I still feel bad :(
I tried to do a similar thing when I was around that age but I just got bitten and scratched.

Wouldn't it make sense to have the Summoning level in brackets instead? I don't pk myself but I imagine it would be easier that way for pkers to gauge exactly what familiars they could use.

The gravestone update looks fair, you'll lose your stuff like before if you're in a random place but if you're with your friends they will bless it and you can get your stuff back.

So, what I'm getting from this is that, because they could have rigged it, they must have.
This sums up Blyaunte's point of view perfectly. Also Omali's posters are pretty awesome, Blyaunte you should put them in your signature.
Hey – if you can demonstrate to me why and/or how, on earth, ANY legitimate corporate entity would or could clusterf**k their way through a game-changing operation in this fashion, I am all ears.
I'm all in favour of giving up the entire "deliberate rigging" argument in favour of "Jagex is chocked full of incompetent boobs" any time ...
:lol:
Hey if you can give me some evidence on how they rigged the vote... go right ahead.
Let me ask you this – when Jagex removed the Wilderness and Free Trade three years ago purportedly because of RWT, with the excuse of how much RWT was hurting them financially, and how they almost lost the business, did you think they were telling you the truth back then?
Did you believe them?
Do you think Jagex has a handle on RWT trading now?
More than likely, the difference between now and three years ago has more to do with the settlement of all legal claims against them filed by the credit card companies, than it does with anything else. I'd wager that Jagex prolly now has sufficient legal protocols in place to deny their own liability for any illicit transaction performed via a stolen credit card, or whatever it was purported to have transpired.
Not that Jagex would allow any disclosure of, or admit to, any information relating to such a settlement, but hey, I'm just sayin' ...
:rolleyes:
If that was the case, why would they need to rig the vote? If they felt that bringing back free trade and the old wilderness was possible without the risk of having credit card fraud like before then why wouldn't they ask the community if they should? Even if RWT and botting stays at the same level as it is now, that won't mean they made a bad decision to switch to the old system. This way they get more money from subscriptions and the OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of their customer base is happy as OVER 90% of them voted positively for it.
Everyone knows that they took a dip in subscriptions when lots of players quit in 07, it makes sense therefore that a lot of player would want the current system to be changed back. The fallout from the 07 changes was massive, the implications of Jagex changing that around again now are equally so. You are basing your conspiracy theory on a complete whim, you only need to see the old users coming back to this forum as a result of the referendum as proof that the poll attracted a large number of people and, therefore, is most likely legit.
-
Yeah you probably could, but if you are going to bring one back it makes sense to bring both seeing as they were linked and were both removed at the same time.
It makes sense to return free trading if you are going to re-implement old wildy. But in no possible universe it makes sense to return wildy if you are going to re-implement free trade.
Why not? I'm genuinely curious, I haven't given it much thought.
-
Can't have one without the other really.
What's with everyone saying this. It's possible to have free trade without old wildy.
... and it's certainly possible to have the old Wildy without free trade ... :mellow:
Yeah you probably could, but if you are going to bring one back it makes sense to bring both seeing as they were linked and were both removed at the same time.

First of all' date=' general polling on the various fansite message forums around the web showed a 2:1 margin in some cases, and a mere narrow margin in others, in favour of bringing back both Free Trade and the Wilderness. Yet, Jagex's poll showed a whopping 91%? How's that? Well, of course, that has to do with the manner in which the poll was conducted: allowing people 1 vote per "user account"? That's like allowing someone to vote using names from a graveyard. You're not getting a "majority" vote, you're getting a cheat.[/quote']
How do they stop people from voting on more than one account? You can't go by IP as it's so easy to change that, and not everyone will have an email registered. Plus, I bet a TON of pkers that quit in 07 didn't bother returning to the forums and voting there. From a TIF perspective, it's always been more of a skilling than a pking community.
Of course' date=' Jagex brags that there's some 10 million accounts and yet barely over 1 million voted. So, 900,000 votes out of 10 million accounts is "an overwhelming majority"? Who the f**k does THAT kind of math?[/quote']10 million accounts =/= 10 million ACTIVE accounts. If of the voters vote for yes then that is an overwhelming majority in favour of yes.
And why group both issues together? Why not make it a real vote and ask for separation of the two issues? How difficult would that be? Hell they run polls just like that EVERY week!Can't have one without the other really.
THEN they claim that' date=' after declaring said "overwhelming majority" they're gonna pull this feat of programming out of their ass and get it done and coded and back into the game in TWO WEEKS?TWO WEEKS? Really? Really? Oh come on![/quote']
Why not? If they are serious about it and get the entire team behind it then I'm sure it's possible. Plus, if they have been thinking about it for a long time they could already have some code done in preparation for a possible (lol) yes vote. It doesn't mean they rigged it or always intended to bring it back.

OK, I give up, call it a publicity stunt if you will, along with all of the implied animosity that comes with that, but in my opinion even if they were 99% sure that the community would respond favorably, the opposing votes still mattered. So if taking things to a vote was entirely a way of getting on the community's good side, it worked on at least one person. The T-Shirt thing is a bit silly though :razz:
I think what people are really meaning to say is that Jagex already had plans to release the Wildy and Free Trade before they even put it to a vote. The outcome of this vote was fairly predictable, so that made this whole vote safe.
Now if for some bizarre reason the vote hadn't favored bringing back these features, or even if it hadn't been such a decisive landslide, then yes of course Jagex would've reconsidered it, no matter if they had already begun working on the programming or not.
But it was pretty obvious how this was going to play out, not to mention how the poll was implemented. It's like Jagex grinned and yelled,
:thumbsup: "Who wants ice cream?" :thumbsup:
It's a rhetorical question. Everyone wants ice cream, or at least in this case, 91% of everyone.
Except two things:
1. the vast majority of people on this planet are lactose-intolerant. So no, not *everybody* wants ice cream, and;
2. inasmuch as it was a forgone conclusion that Jagex was going to bring back the Wildy regardless of the vote tally, we've no way, whatsoever, in knowing for certain that it was an actual "overwhelming majority" who wanted it.
<_<
Over 90% voted to bring it back, how much more of an overwhelming majority do you want?
Oh, so you trust Jagex to give us an honest vote for a feature that they already planned to bring back regardless of the outcome of the vote? :unsure:
Sweet!
Say I've got this RARE spinach roll for sale. It's worth 100M but I'll see it to you for only 1M. Ok? :shades:
You'd have to be either extremely cynical or extremely stupid to think that Jagex rigged that vote.

Plus it won't cost as much if you repair it in your house.

How much of an impact will reintroducing free trade and the wilderness have on future updates?

Got this earlier than expected cos I was able to use up some effigies I had banked. Not sure whether to use my peng points from now on towards Mining, Agil or Hunter (leaning towards Agil). Any thoughts?

The King's Speech, Firth was absolutely brilliant in it.

Liking the look of the new maps, will be interesting to see how the ziplines etc work out.
