The same kind of people who play rs? (well, yes, word filter, that game too, but yeah)
Just take a good, hard look at what you do in this game. I mean, srsly. If I didn't have the perseverance to roll a vegetable over half the continent and over a mountain, I may as well just give up on a 99 right here.
-
BTW, the cabbages in Miscellania are fine for tossing, they just don't hop around.
-
Brassica is actually just latin for "cabbage".
-
You went through Yanille? I just went around the SE edge and cut through the middle of ogre country.
"Interesting" anecdote: along the way up white wolf mountain (er, that's the name, right?), I saw an abandoned inert cabbage sitting on the side of the road, its owner having given up and was long gone. I shed a tear.
-
Brassica Prime is basically the same to cabbages as Marimbo is for all ape/monkey creatures.
This was mentioned in a development diary "behind the scenes" during a previous time such as this.

I envision someone standing near him kicking away balls that come close just to annoy people. And they would be VERY annoyed...
Actually, that's what somebody did (unintentionally, of course, since they had no idea what was going on). I was about to get in when he was standing in the doorway, and after a 5 minute scuffle, I managed to shake him off and guide the cabbage through the gate.

[hide=Pic of me finishing up]
[/hide]Basically, all you do is kick a cabbage from the patch south of Falador all the way to Oo'glog, which is the ogre hot springs. It's not impossible, just improbable.
Described as "quite possibly the longest game of Skullball you've ever played", the perils are few but annoying: tight passages, aggressive monsters, and every single bystander who wants to interfere, knowingly or not.
The ones who make it through the whole ordeal get the honor of speaking to a giant cabbage. And maybe trying to kill it. I didn't have the gall to see if I could.
If you've done it, post your pic here!
Yeah, I'm wondering the same thing.Was there a hint in the forums or something? How would anyone know to kick it specifically to Oo'glog?
I asked that too... :(
Being the person that discovered this whole thing I think I can shed some light on just why someone would kick it there. There were NO hints and I cannot stress that enough, I didn't even expect anything for getting to Oo'glog. I first tried to see how far a cabbage could go after seeing Mod Ash post on the RSOF that the cabbages could be kicked pretty far from Draynor, and that was what got me started.
Anyways, the journey of the first cabbage and discovery of Brassica Prime:
[hide=The great cabbage discovery] Thought first to see if I could kick it up through Falador but then figured that was too easy.
Decided to cross White Wolf Mountain and get it all the way to Seers.
After a run in with some noob in Catherby I figured I should kick it south down to Ardougne.
Made it there, continued to kick south past the Tower of Life, really for no reason other than to see how far it could go.
Got to Yanille and decided to go as far south as possible, might as well, made it that far.
Entered the hunter area easy enough and made up my mind, Oo'glog charter ship would be my destination, I would take screenshots and then go brag about it.
Lined up my kick, shot the cabbage into Oo'glog and Brassica Prime showed up, my jaw dropped.
Posted on the RSOF I found Brassica Prime by kicking all the way to Oo'glog, people called me a liar and I was pranking them.
A few people showed up, saw I actually had a cabbage there but there was no Brassica Prime, some called me a liar as if I made that part up.
Mod Hulme showed up briefly and said "Try another cabbage."
A couple of the people there decided to try for themselves, they believed me.
Mod Ash PMed me saying how shocked the staff was that I found it so fast. Even thought I may have been a Jmod's normal account. I'm not.
A few nonbelievers set out to do it and prove me wrong, I was banned from the cabbage kicking clan chat.
One hour and about 50 minutes later, cabbage #2 made it into Oo'glog and the rest is history![/hide]
So really was just someone that wanted to push cabbage to its limits and stumbled across a well hidden secret. All an accident.
The RSOF thread that started it all, page 8 is the discovery. And if anyone is wondering what Mod Ash's post originally said at the bottom of page 8, it said "I just heard one of the developers just made it over White Wolf Mountain!"
Hope that answered any questions. Now go honor Brassica Prime, he's only here a week.
-
Well, they could be setting us up.
IT'S A TARP
-
I believe the one who holds that kind of acclaim is Lord Perrythistle the 3rd, gentleman beggar.
-
Good thing standard heavy armor is mostly concealing, eh?
I've noticed that most of the female folk I've seen congregate at the good fishing spots or perhaps the games room, although it's not particularly hard to find them in any crowded space.
-
What irritates me to no end is that the two words are almost the same.
Aside from that, this is a perfect example of the only acceptable way to celebrate tomorrow without any long term consquences aside from unforseen revenge attempts.
-
Well, the only thing I can think of that you could get away with and not be destroyed by the consquences is to spend the whole day intentionally misleading new players into thinking random harmless lies.
-
I dunno about you, but I have no use for a suit that caters to older users that have items that I can't afford. What am I going to do with this santa suit?...
-
Well, just check out what they've done with the mechscape fansite so far. I think we could expect stuff like that.
-
I cook because it gives me something to do with the large piles of fish I get from fishing. I keep the two skills about equal.
Also it's handy to have large piles of cooked fish when I need to train combat.
You should try cooking in RL, though. Mmm.
-
I think they already did that with one of the April Fool's, although I'm not sure...
-
What if there was a sunrise in the game?
That would probably just blow everybody's minds.
-
Today I hope to finish up Smoking Kills.
Did you know that if you hit the mummy guard with a fire spell, he lights up like a candle and starts taking extra damage? I started laughing my [wagon] off when that happened.
-
Eh, I think they should allow you to upgrade it using a dragon pick. That way you can fit more awesome into one package and they'll have to pay for it anyway.
-
True, average players aren't trained bug spotters, but then again, Jagex hasn't been exactly brilliant in finding the bugs that you can only find after tossing a thousand monkeys at it. We're going with quantity here, not quality.
In the meanwhile, I'd like to comment on the diary with this lame joke:
Slapstick dwarf drunken comedic routines and serious moments with characters that you are pretending to empathize with coupled with amnesia? Sign me up!
With any luck, the amnesia will make us forget about this.
Alternate joke:
Slapstick dwarf drunken comedic routines and serious moments with characters that you are pretending to empathize with coupled with amnesia? Sounds like a Final Fantasy game!
Srsly, they should probably have one of these written up every week or so if they'll make em this short. That way, we can yell at him whenever we think he's doing something wrong. Or y'know, whenever really.
-
Lol. Forgots?
Still, why would I go there on a regular basis?
-
Perhaps this is being silly, but I think people want a place that just provides easy access to stuff they want. Dorgesh-kaan. Pretty, right? But hard to move around in, plus all the stuff you could want to use is tucked away in the corners far from the bank (there IS a furnace and anvil and cooking range and sandpit and water source, it's just really, really far from the bank). No teles except the fairy ring, and even then, all access types require that you carry a light source in order to get in. Nobody cares.
Rogue's den. Hole. In the ground. Not much architecture or furniture outside of the training course and wall safes, just a bunch of dust and rocks, but there's a cooking fire next to the bank, plus Burthrope is a tele away with whatever thing you use to tele to the warrior's guild. EVERYBODY LIKES IT.
Aside from my exaggerations and sarcasm, would you prefer it if they made the infrastructure more practical over more pretty?
-
Well, uh, whenever they give us messages through the official channels, they usually tell us the stuff we don't really care about. Granted, not everybody sees this stuff unless they look for it, or they post it, but at least the information that we wanted is more likely to be heard.
-
Oh, that quest chain may be over, but I don't think this is the last we'll see of Bandos or Zanik. Stranger things are afoot and who knows? Since Zanik's roaming the lands, we'll probably end up doing something with her involved somehow.
Have you honored Brassica Prime today? The Great Cabbatical!

Could you put the hide tags on it? It stretches the page.
