SHIPPOU

I only have 9 tattoos currently ... any one who is considering getting a tat, just remember that it's perminate, and you may regret getting it later in your life ....

I was recently in the book store, and noticed that there were 2 Runescape books on the shelves ( http://www.amazon.com/RuneScape-Betrayal-T-S-Church/dp/1848567227 - http://www.amazon.com/RuneScape-Return-Canifis-Runescape-2/dp/1848567278 ) . I bought them, and have read one, and 3/4 done with the other one. For those of you that have read them, what do you think of the stories and the way it's written ?

Greetings, I have been away from RS for quite some time now, and I am checking in to see what has changed. Last time I have played was when they first introduced dungeoneering. I played that for a couple days, became frustrated with the system and stopped playing again. The last time I played for any length of time was after they introduced Castle Wars. What I am asking is what has changed in the wide world of Rune Scape, and is there anything that will make it worth my time to get my paid membership back ? Thank you.

I find it pointless to make promises to myself that I know I will not keep.

http://www.minecraft.net I played it for a while, and gotten really bored, really FAST. I bought a legal copy of Beta .... and here is what I think. The game type is a very old design, but I find out that I need "the latest and greatest" video card to play it. Currently things like trees and running water cause a LOT of game lag ( tiny draw distance ). I find the lack of "stuff" very boring, and the fact game developers have STATED they do not want to add content is frighting (( Official forum: http://"http://www.minecraftforum.net/viewtopic.php?f=1&t=279635#p3902758" ""Repetitive Inventory"" section )) . This is probably because I have used a lot of virtual worlds such as Secondlife and Activeworlds in the past ( still use ActiveWorlds ) . Building takes WAY too long, resource gathering for said building project is an epic undertaking ( non-hacking, or what hard core fans call the Honorable Way ). Now for the old Clasic Minecraft It's cool that it's free, but not much good at design, and I CAN NOT SAVE MY PROGRESS. Multiplayer is a joke. 5 - 10 minutes to load ( all servers ), constant disconnects, unusable due to griefers destroying anything you make. If I knew than, what I know now, I wouldn't have spent $21 USD on that game, until final release, and it could be properly reviewed.

I love how most posters above me never bothered to research any of their numbers. #1 - Wisconsin teachers make an average of $45,000 USD a year, http://teacherportal.com/salary/Wisconsin-teacher-salary which is on PAR with the national average http://www.payscale.com/research/US/All_K-12_Teachers/Salary #2 - Under the bill, they loose 10% - 20% of that #3 - State workers (unionized, non-teaching) in WI makes 12% less than non-union workers right now. http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=134085454

Never had to verify anything in youtube ... in fact it is still linked to my yahoo Email ... http://www.youtube.com/rls0812 It is laughable how paranoid folks in this forum get over something minor ... and the "phone spam" is illegal in the US.

I need to check this forum more often ... I'm a transplant from the original forums. <<<<<<<<<<<<

People always get the definitions of furry mixed up with other things. Fur-suiters = folks who dress up as furries, go to fur conventions dressed up, e.t.c. Furries = folks who may believe they are anthropomorphic ( animals with human characteristics ) Some furries believe they are another animal, other believe they have a spirit of an animal inside of them, others believe they have an animal guide. There is tons of ancient cultures that believed this. From cave people, to Japanese, to American-Indians . Evan in modern times, anthropomorphic animals are used in everything from children's cartoons, to company mascots. Me personally, I wish I could be a fox youlkai ( Kisune from ancient Japanese folk lore http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitsune )

OK after killing a bunch of different critters suggested here ... Since I really haven't played RS in over 5 years, I have no idea what a waterfiend is... so I skipped that. Looked around for greater demons, but couldn't find any that were easy to get at that weren't in the wildy, so I skipped them Lesser demons have a bad drop rate ... black demons have a bad drop rate, though I could only kill 9 before running out of food. Blue dragons take way too much food. I went around and experimented with tons of different critters, and found that Hill Giants have a great drop rate for gold charms, and using ring of wealth almost doubles my chances of getting one from them.

78 att and str ... 80 def I want low lvls for fast drop rate. Greater and black demons would take too much time to kill, and I have never used a cannon in my life, (even though I did the quest the day it came out) due to incredibly high cost.

What low level critter has a fairly good drop rate of gold charms, and what low level critter has a fairly good drop rate of crimson charms? I finally decided to try summoning, and I ran into a wall. I have yet to find any good critters to farm for these charms. (( I am very low lvl hunter, and slayer )) EDIT: 78 att and str ... 80 def .... no special armor or weapons.

I wish I could pull posts off the old forum, since I have long lost all my RSC pics .... any way it is kinda funny a few days ago I was catching lizards with nothing on but my bunny ears and some one came by who randomly called me a noob ... Any way ... almost no one knows me, due to the fact I NEVER PKed

Reply To The Autonomous Problem I believe whoever wrote this article may not have been playing RS for a long time. Jagex used a form of captcha quite some time ago to try to get rid of botters, inadvertently making everyone in the game world mad.

This is more common in Second Life .... folks for some reason fall in love with some one else's online personality, and they get romantically involved. This spills over to RL, were the folks think the other is just like their online persona .... sooner or later the relation goes bad. ***My personal opinion is the kid had very few friends and felt alone ... she reached out to some one who had a good online persona, and "fell in love" .. this spilled over to real life, and thus we have this story.
