As has been said, agility is the only member skill that carries over, so focus on that. If you have time, though, you may want to consider working on non-member skills that are easier to train in member worlds.

Is any skill worth it? Is any quest worth it? Is it worth playing this game in the first place? If you enjoy runescape, it's worth it. If you enjoy the slayer skill it's worth it. What determines the "worth" of any skill (or lack there of) is the enjoyment you take from grinding it and the feeling of acheivement you get from leveling it.

Here's an idea. If you don't like a skill, don't level in it. Spend your time working on the skills you do enjoy. Or don't skill at all. PK or something. There are a lot of things you can do besides hunting.

There are other ways to lure, aside from the promise of a trade. Luring could be as simple as "Follow me." I've actually seen people follow others blindly in to the wilderness with out being promised any monetary gain from it. To fall for a lure like this shows a great deal of ignorance about the game in general and the wild specifically, and would probably only work on new players; leading me to wonder what sort of "loot" the lurer would actually gain. However, such a lure would not be scamming, as nothing is being promised.

Would I lure? No. Even if I could (As a p-mod I'm not allowed to lure, as it could be viewed as abusing my crown) I wouldn't do it. However, if you're smart enough to lure successfully and don't have a problem with doing it, good for you! Have fun. On the other hand, if you're stupid enough to fall for a lure, tough luck. Maybe next time you'll know better.

If anyone is banned for stars, then they were banned unfairly. Chances are it's a mistake, and an appeal should solve it. I'd be very interested in how the conversation went leading up to the stars. I'll bet there were good examples of censor evasion, or other rules being broken, that the guilty party "forgot" to mention when complaining about being "banned for stars."

I think Jagex should allow us to select a race when we start. There are a lot of non-human npc's, so why not let us be a dwarf? An elf? Maybe even an ogre. Anyway, what do you think?

Hey, kender own. Tasselhoff FTW! Great article, glad to see remorse from the author.

I've been enjoying reading all the posts, and I promise I'll be posting my thoughts on alternative-lifestyle (to not bypass the filter) marriages soon. I need to organize my thoughts and decide where I really stand on it. Thanks to everyone for making this fun and educational and remaining mature and intelligent about it.

I don't think he's saying that they don't know anything about God/gods, but that they profess that they don't know whether God/gods exist, thus making them ignorant (not knowing) in that one area. Despite the fact that you are going to disagree with me, I will make the point. NO ONE knows that god exists. You my believe that he exists to the point of ÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ãâ¦Ã¢â¬ÅknowingÃÆââââ¬Å¡Ã¬ÃâÃ

Yeah, but did you know that the early Americans then began forcing their religious beliefs on others? At least two states (Rhode Island and Utah) were founded by people fleeing the same persecution their fathers fleed when coming to America in the first place.

Wow, this is getting fun already. It's a little past noon, so I need to go to bed. I'll respond to the latest posts (and any new ones if I have time) tomorrow. I also look forward to reading any responces the earlier posters have to the questions/comments I gave. Anyway, thanks everyone for your input!

On topic? This is a topic about politics & religion is it not? So this is on topic. It's a topic about politics and religion, but it's being sidetracked by what we should call the president. If you think about it, he's not really the "leader" of anything. The president actually doesn't wield much power unless his decisions are ratified by the congress. My statement was intended to be a joke about how he speaks, not to spark an argument about any nicknames the president may have.

I agree, but I think anarchy is too extreme. Anarchy, by its very nature, would inevitably lead to chaos. But down further you say that you support free speech, even if it hurts other people. Why would that be hypocritical? Most Jews don't believe that Christ is the savior of mankind, but they believe in the same God. I do believe in fate, but I also believe in free will. I know that sounds contradictory, but it's hard to explain. This fits into your anarchal government, and like I said before would lead to chaos. I believe in free speech, but up to a point. Absolute free speech would lead to rioting. Again, chaos. Then why "force" yourself to be an atheist? Why not look into this "something bigger" and find out what it means to you?

It was the former, and I apologize. Now can we please stay on topic? Hello. I'm curious. You say you're right wing, then you go on to make some very liberal claims. This seems a bit contradictory to me. All religion? There's good and bad in everything, and I like to think the good generally outweighs the bad. It's just that the bad gets more attention. This is what I was referring to above. This isn't exactly a right-wing viewpoint. Adoption is another consideration. The woman wouldn't have to raise a child she doesn't want, but the child wouldn't have to die either.

Ok, maybe I should have worded it differently, but this is not the place to debate semantics. Nor is this the place to argue over the choice of words.

He's certainly not my leader. So many americans seem to forget that a world exists outside of the borders of the USA. True, but the American president has a good deal of power even outside the U.S. Too much, in my opinion. It's bad enough that our government has so much control over American citizens, but when they try controlling other countries, that's going way too far.

It's both. It's a place to state your religion and political views, and a place to discuss them. I know there are other threads like this, but most of the religion threads are Christian/Atheist and this is one where all religious views can be discussed. There also aren't any threads for both politics and religion, and the two can be very closely related. For example, most Fundamentalist Christians tend to be right wing, where as more tolerant religions lean more toward the left. What this isn't is a place for you to spam the thread by calling it spam. If you think it's spam and feel it should be deleted report it and a mod/admin will make that decision. Please don't post here again if you have nothing to contribute.

Interesting choice of words. Most people would have said "I'm a Christian." Was it intentional? What stuff? The war? Such as...? I couldn't agree more. Well said. This is also a good point. Even when you don't have a choice, you still have a choice. Dr. Dobson (Focus on the Family) said that it's not a sin to have feelings or desires for the same gender, but it is a sin to act on them. (Paraphrased) This is gonna be a real touchy subject, and a debate I'm looking forward to. Indeed. I saw a comic strip that had two frames. In the first a black man is at a job interview. The hiring person says "I'm sorry Mr. Black, but we won't hire you because of your color." This was before affirmative action. The second frame had the same interviewer, but this time a white man. The interviewer is saying "I'm sorry Mr. White, but we won't hire you because of your color." This was after affirmative action. I disagree with you here. I think tolerance is important. I think that different theological views (including Christian, but by no means limited to it) should be taught in public schools. So am I. I love the message of Christ, but the message of today's Christians seems far different. With exceptions, of course. One could have such a change in other religions as well. Buddhism, for example, with it's search for enlightenment can lead to some very positive life changes. Me, too, but not just Christians. I wish that followers of all religions would spend more time praying/speaking/meditating with their deity of choice. Again, I agree, but again I think it should be all religions. To quote Serendipity "It doesn't matter what you have faith in, just that you have faith. Until that day comes, may you have a long and happy life. Thanks for sharing your views!
