^Everything wrong with TIF moderation summed up in one convenient post.

Then do it, you have the best of both worlds. @levon, minor quibling here but fastest =/= most efficient. Creating demon thrones would in theory be great exp/hr for construction, but the cost:benefit ratio is rediculously low and thus inefficient. Well, when it comes down to it, it is fastest = most efficient. You just have to take into account the time taken to get the money as well as the time spent training. </minor quibling>

@All_Is_Great: I can't speak for other posters, but I personally have no problem correcting a mistaken view, and I'm not mean about it. However, if somebody starts arguing with me telling me, for example, why it's stupid to buy a fury for that much when you don't have Bandos, it's on. They're not only wrong, but they're wrong in a way that, if I don't fight back, might convince the OP to take their stupid advice. It's not so much the posting of inefficiency as it is the vehement defense of said inefficiency. That's where it stops being an innocent mistake.

Of course not, but if they suggest their ideas to somebody seeking good advice, they are trolling.

A big misconception I see a lot is that people think EVERYONE needs to play efficiently ALL THE TIME. That's not true. Nobody is going to get mad at you if you do something inefficient. There are two things we do think: -If you post in H&A, you are asking for efficiency. You can't post asking for advice on the most fun way to do something. Nobody ever makes a thread asking "will I have more fun with a whip or a godsword," because the very question is meaningless. We can only tell you that a whip is OBJECTIVELY better, and if you still insist on using your godsword afterwards we're going to be annoyed that you posted asking which is better and then ignored all our replies we bothered to type out. If you want the most fun way to do something, you shouldn't be asking other players how to do it, because it's completely up to you to decide what you find fun. -If you prefer a method because you find it more fun even though it has no objective benefit, you shouldn't be posting it in H&A. That's trolling. The OP is asking for help on which way is best (see the previous point), and you are trying to convince them that a method that is not best is better than the best method. THIS will make me flame you, because you are actively hurting people with your inefficiency. Examples of this are people who will tell you to get Bandos before fury, chop yews/bank gold/do something else stupid for money, use a DFS for slayer, get a CLS instead of a rapier, etc. While you personally are free to do any of these things, they are still objectively inferior options that you have no business telling other people to use unless they specifically ask for a bad way to do something. Don't present a stupid method as a good one, or you's trollin'.

Offensively speaking, sagi body has 25 more ranged attack in exchange for 21 less melee attack and 11 less melee strength, and 40 less hp drain to everything around you per 15 seconds. The blood necklace slot is also irreplacable, whereas most players can make themselves a megaleather body that's only 6 ranged attack inferior to sagittarian. Binding a sag body over a blood necklace is a bad idea for anyone, IMO.

Final (a hex user) WAS using it.

Are you sure? Because Final was using it last night and seemed pretty convinced that it works. I don't think he's a hex noob either.

Actually, if you prayer flash, piety's boost is better than the initial boost you're getting with turm. I also haven't checked, but it's well possible that a lot of ranged/magic monsters don't have high enough att/str stats to make turmoil match piety either. And of course, rigour wrecks for hexing. No SS though :(

The hood is important for reasons other than damage reduction. Lots of hoodsafe or near-hoodsafe puzzle rooms become rape rooms when you're unhooded, which makes you essentially worthless for doing puzzle rooms compared to a hooded player. Every mime room would have to be cleared just for you. It would also just use a ton more food running around the map if every single forgotten ranger and zombie/skele wants you, not to mention the prayer lost by being the only player without a hood in every single GD. It's just not worth it- you'll slow the floor down and die a lot.

Yeah TIF sure doesn't seem the same without him :/ How'd I get one of them snazzy "I miss you" badges you guys have got? Also why's he gone? Also Hai Jimmeh <3: Put [img=http://i532.photobucket.com/albums/ee325/Morinobaka/Bladewing.png] in your signature for a Bladewing Commemorative Medal, and he's gone because apparently he was a "troll." With tons of posts in H&A giving legitimate advice.

Keying a large is SO much based on practice. I can sit here telling you all the little tricks to key, but I won't because there are already big guides like that. The thing is, stuff like knowing instinctively what you need to pray, where you need to drop your gate, when it's better to solo something and when it's better to call the team, when to order the team to split up, when to order them to stay together, what GD to take the GGS to first, when to move the GGS yourself and when to order someone else to run it, remembering all the key doors (I still can't do this, keying program ftw :P), remembering everyone's gates... It's all just stuff you have to do wrong a lot and go "oh, that's something I need to think about next time." After you've keyed a lot, you gain more confidence in making quick decisions about what you, and the team, should be doing, and also in holding all the information about the map in your head so you don't forget stuff. And that's how you start reliably keying sub-30s. What Obtaurian said is absolutely correct. Being a keyer starts with taking initiative. If you never start up floors and derp through those few 50 minute larges, you never learn.

I had always thought 6 sides felt like enough, but now I suddenly feel inadequate. Thanks Vex :(

Lol yeah. I got an official warning for replying to a post that was spam. Apparently when that post was removed, MY post became spam too, so I'm a bad boy. I argued with Rainy about it for a while, I'll tell you about it later.

thumbs up and down reminds me of a certain forum user... you can't get 1m dg xp per day; that's impossible! some kind of shenanigans going on there i tells yee Just making all the prom sets it would take to do that many floors would take hours.

Lol I think Jimi's been asleep ever since his blog got renamed to this.

Bladewing will only truly have left TIF when none here remain loyal to him.

I LOVE YOU BLADEWING! SOMETIMES I STILL GET DRUNK AND JUST CAN'T STOP CRYING

I just use uni and have a divine. I do have a friend who can survive on 2 brews for an hour with just EEKS though, but it's hard, and there's always the chance of getting owned on a kill and having to leave instantly.

AFK mine to full inventory and then spend 10 seconds mousekey dropping or 30-45 seconds banking. HMM WHICH HAS MORE AFK TIME?

Dem heim crabs. Mighty, totally will hit you up on that. Sonic, almost certainly over a year. Oh and also 106 DG yay!

Duo med warped floor with Jimi, got this from a book. Unedited, I swear to God.

Ouch. Guess bigger isn't better. I've never heard of Dungeon Squires, do they have a homeworld they're more commonly known by?

Some people have different learning styles. I usually calmly explain the mistake and how to rectify it first, and then if they do it again I yell at them because obviously the first method was ineffective. If they do it again after that I avoid dunging with them in the future, but that doesn't happen often.

I accept this great honor.
