one word: WOW! actually, thats 3, oh man, they keep adding up! Anyways, very well done, and I agree, the Varrock Library is pretty empty, more people forget about it each day with out your article Necro. By the way, well done, well done indeed. And the the way that you wrote it in the first-person is very interesting, much better than an article like this: The Varrock Library, a forgotten place on the official forums. BLAH, BLAH, BLAH!!!!! Maybe I should be an author! lol.

hmm, any might work, but he might cast spells, so i am not sure, never got a lvl 3 clue

lets see... non wildy, so thats a... zammy wiz? um, tip.it has tips on beating the wiz from the lvl 3 scrolls under their treasure trail guide. Heres my tip: lots of swordies or sharks.

(obviously this isnt working right, so mods, close this plz.)

frog legs! (stupid french ppls, lol) ok...uh, im just going to skip my turn. Next person can post an examine for me

I soooo agree with Munpie, but that's off-topic. Anyways, I'm back with a 'fresh' load of stuff. You know you play RS too much when: 1. U dont expect to see blood in a fight 2. Ur suit of armor isnt just decoration 3. U walk into the biggest mansion in town and try to kick ppl out saying: "my clan is haing a meeting!!!" 4. It takes twice as long to type an essay, because half the time you are fixing "u", "r", "i" and of course "y?" 5. You dont check the aisles for the stuff at the store, u just try to trade the owner 6. You hit the desk (and it hurts) when the game logs out in the middle of doing something, multiple times 7. U wonder how many things you can get for 375 gold coins 8. U spend so much time at the desk, the rest is faded out except for where the mouse, keyboard, moniter, and you were (which is good as new) 9. U wish that u could turn the brightness down or up depending on the sun's brightness 10. U seriously considered working for Jagex (especially when u r still in high school!) 11. U wonder how different your life would be without RuneScape, then you finish cutting the willow down 12. Ur family replaces u in their day-to-day lives with a photo from before you discovered RuneScape 13. U attempt to store 27 swordfish in your back pocket 14. U wish the inventories could be adjusted in size (like being able to buy bigger 1's!) 15. U r suprised when chickens really dont die in one hit 16. U memorized a large section of the map (for example: i memorized free world maps) 17. U actually wondered wat would happen to a forum mod if they lost their membership... 18. U get upset over the store being "overpriced" 19. U cant find a newcomers map at Mejier (so u try Kroger instead) 20. U travel between towns, just trying to find an empty mining spot 21. U ask for a fire when ever u start fishing (even if u r catch and release fishing!) 22. U wish u could kill ur annoying sibilings, only for them bto respawn and kill them again! :twisted: 23. U look at an atlas, but cant find Falador, Varrock, Ardougne, or Lumbridge 24. U argue with some1 when they say u r an idiot, and resort to calling them a noob 25. There have been several instances when u have been arrested for attempting to range a cow on some1 else's farm 26. U wish that u could actually own a d hally and full zammy 27. U considered dressing up like ur RS character for Halloween 28. Ur laptop has only reached 100% battery twice since u got it :oops: 29. U have skipped homework to level up a couple skills, only to regret it when u fail the course 30. U become upset over losing data codes that we refer to as "full dragon armor and full barrows armor" 31. U critcize me for calling those pieces of armor just "data codes" and putting their common name in qoutation marks 32. U begin to try to grow spirit trees in your garden, only to find out they dont work 33. U attempt to make random potions for different skills, only for the test subject to die 34. U begin to draw about RuneScape instead of paying attention and taking notes in history, math, religion, biology, health, or any of your other classes 35. U sneak on RS in class, rather than doing the assignment 36. Ur school or work has put a firewall up vto prevent playing RuneScape 37. U plan to smash the firewall mentioned above physically, due to an external source 38. U haave the almost eact time that Jagex releases their weekly update, and if it isnt released, u either get upset or hope its POH's (between 10:05 and 10:30 AM is when they release it in my time zone) 39. U wish that the weather was always clear and sunny like in RS 40. The time of year barely affects how long and often u play 41. U laugh when some1 gets horrible lag and is getting slaughtered before they can run 42. U watch as a newb screams for help as they run into a moss giant area, then quickly run over, grab anything worthwhile, and finish off the mossy, and take its stuff too 43. U get confused y the chicken u just killed didnt: A. dissappear B. leave any bones, feathers, or raw chicken as soon as it died & C. Get shot at for trespassing on a farm 44. U enter a bar, only to get empty beer glasses so you can finish brewing cider 45. U have only been to Lumbridge 1 time, and thats when u started 46. Zamorak worships you, and Saradomin zaps Zamorak cuz he hates him 47. U r ur own team in CW 48. Ur team (mentioned above) beats the other team all the time, even when they have Zezima 49. Zezima asks U for tips 50. Jagex declares war on u and loses 51. Ur shadow can 1 hit a lvl 81 in full dragon and with all the best prayers and defence items on 52. A river troll appears, drops its stuff, and then attack the others to clear out the dock for u 53. U have paid attention long enough to - wat was i saying?? Cabbage? KBD just ate 3 noobs and a fresh bowl of Potato salad? Oh, um... read... yea, read this post.

Well written guide, but some people (not me) might want a bit of info on skill based clans or something. Anyways, as my sig suggests, I run a player-owned village (they're becoming popular on the RS events forum), and would like to offer some advice to anyone who wants to start their own village. Use this if you want or completely ignore me, I don't care. I. Starting up! So you've made the decision to start a village, but they are different than a clan. You need land, a stable type of government (PV has a Republic/Democracy based government), some type of defense (to protect your village) and villagers. II. Land Info. Basically you need a place to be based out of like an area or city. I started out near the Temple of Ikov, and branched from there out. Starting land isn't too hard to get, just choose somewhere no one else has and start your village. It is best to not start conquering until you have a lot of villagers in a small area, otherwise you have inadequete presentation in the areas (better to be equally dispersed in a smaller area than lost in a huge area!) and will probably be overrun quickly in some areas. If needed, have some one patrol your areas from time to time checking that it hasn't been taken away. III. Government. Monarchy, Dictatorship, Republic, Anarchy; all of these are forms of government you can implement into your village. Of course, the people will want a say in the village, so absolute dictatorship or monarchy might not be the best idea, and anarchy never ends well once a large number of people join. The best idea is to base it off of clan leadership, with various leaders to be a governing body, but allow the people to voice their opinions every now and then so they feel more involved. If you want, you can base your government off of my village's as an example (but no spying!!!!). Speaking of spying, spies may be employed by the enemy or random people. Mainly this is the best way to deal with them: 1. If you get suspicious, start investigating. 2. If you find a spy, deal harshly with them. This will hopefully deter future spies and also prove to the spy's employer that you aren't messing around. 3. If you suddenly get people joining that are lvl 3 or are lying about levels, be cautious and don't accept them right away, instead give the a justation period first. These are useful ways to handle spies, but clever ones probably can find a way around them, just take them out. IV. Defense Just as the real nations have defense and armies, you should at least set up a group of guards to protect and keep the peace. However, full-blown armies may be useful in wars, but aren't always patient, so don't set those up till you are ready. Also, don't engage in war too often, allow some time. >It isn't about fame, fortune, or power, its about fun, happiness, making new friends, and if the others come with, then you have it good. V. Villagers As the blood in a person is the source of life, and money is the lifeblood of a business, villagers keep the village alive and strong. Don't beg for them or offer them free things all the time. Play it easy, invite your closest friends first, get set up a bit, and let it grow at its own pace. In fact, some people may never join, but thats just the kind of person they are. >It is better to have fewer, but closer and more loyal villagers, than to have many villagers who could care less about the village. Don't force your villagers to participate, they have lives of their own, and their own agenda. Forcing the villagers makes you seem cruel or harsh, and let your villagers move about RS freely, don't bind them to your village's lands. VI. Random Stuff: 1. Don't be rude with other clans and villages, thats just not smart. 2. Allow your people to express their thoughts, and they will be happier. 3. A website isn't needed, but gives the village a more professional look or just a place to put all your screenshots. 4. Don't limit the village too much. Knowing when to stop is good, but stopping to soon can cause problems. 5. Make sure your leaders are trusted and won't turn on you. Most of my leaders are some people I actually know or have gotten to be great friends with. 6. Ranks are not the best way to go in all cases. Having some distinction, like leaders and villagers, is necessary, but making it so the ranks are more powerful than the last is plain stupid.People want to feel like they have power over the decisions made, but too much power makes them crazy. 7. If some one wants to leave, let them, but be sure that they don't give out any information that could be harmful to you. 8. Allow your villagers to have contact with clans and villages outside your own. This can create strong alliances and even gain more people for your village. 9. Heavy taxes = BAD! Donations = GOOD. 10. Don't focus the village on only money or power, because the leader might just be there to scam the villagers. I only accept donations to the clan bank fund, which is only used for things like war or things that benefit the entire community we have built. 11. Be creative. These are some of the only ways to make something unique. Come up with a unique name, unique village philosophy or basis (if possible) and come up with creative ways to get your village's name out into the public. 12. Listen to the villagers thoughts on past events, and improve upon them. If they like Drop Parties, but would like better things dropped, arrange to bring some nicer drops (not those cheap chisels you brought last time, lol) or to have them less frequently so the villagers have time to prepare. Also give them at least a weeks notice if possible so you can make sure they are ready. 13. Avoid too many leaders for a while. If your whole village is just leaders, then the point is lost. Also, once you get a larger community, allow the villagers to maybe nominate and vote canidates into a leadership postion. 14. Be sure to find a way to bring money to the village bank, through things like trade routes, donations, events, or even war if thats your style. 15. Leaders shouldn't get too much power. This leads to civil wars, power strugles, and grudges within the community. 16. Last but defineately not least: HAVE FUN! RuneScape is a game, and the point of the village is to provide an interesting and new way to enjoy it. Use this in a guide to making villages or clans, base your future off of my words if you want, critize me, ignore me, join me, the future is in your hands/mouse/keyboard now, so shape it the way you see fit.

close enough, its actually clock face, but watever

U no uve played RS too long when: 1. U write an essay for school about RuneScape (Yes, I did that last semester, and I'm proud of it 2! :wink: ) 2.

Give them a card that says turn card over on both sides. >A duck walks into a bar, what does he say? "Ouch!" >This one isn't so much a joke as it is a prank: Materials needed: hankerchief or Kleenax, squirt bottle full of water, a victim (if the victim is a klepto, its even funnier) Step 1. Talk with your victim. Step 2. Raise the Kleenax up to your nose with the squirt bottle behind it. Step 3. Pretend to sneeze, and as you say "ACHOO!" squirt the person from behind the Kleenax, causing them to believe you sneezed on them. Step 4. Watch the reaction and laugh your head off!
