The final death of autoing in the mining guild...
Ah yes...The possibility of asking a question...What about the honest miners? If they had to answer a question every time they wanted to leave/enter the guild, they wouldn't be able to mine efficiently anymore. I guess eliminating autoers from the mining guild is better than this, although the yew autoers are a bigger problem.

NHL
The Bruins are stinking again. Oh well, at least not last place, although it's sort of a tie. But they've played less games, so they technically aren't in last.

Is your city one of the world's best?
Gillette Stadium is in Foxborough, not Boston. :wink: But Boston DOES have Fenway, and the TD Banknorth Center. I guess the colleges/universities also make up for the crimes/horrible subway. You can't get much better than Harvard, MIT, BC, BU, Northeastern and some music school. And yeah, the Big Dig = Opposite of :thumbsup: . A waste of money, at least one person will die before it's "completed", and a cause of traffic. I'm one quarter surprised that Taipei isn't on there. Not that many people know about it, but there are very clean buildings (for the most part), a clean subway (for the most part) and clean buses/other modes of transportation (for the most part). The only bad thing about Taipei is the pollution, even though New York City has more. I'm also surprised that Honolulu is the number one American city. Then San Francisco. Until Boston comes along, it's all Western cities. (Okay, only 2...) Does that mean western USA is better than eastern? I guess it's a lot more crowded in the east, but still...

Mining guild bank?
How about a portal or something like that that directly brings you from level 2/3 from the guild to the surface? I'm still not supporting this idea. A few reasons. 1. For those of you saying that this would NOT kill the coal economy, think about what an extra 46 coal rocks, VERY/sort of close to a bank, and for high level miners that possibly could one hit it will do. Obviously, it'll introduce a whole lot of coal to RuneScape. More than the amount that will come out in smithing. 2. How the heck do you know that high level miners don't sell their coal? In fact, I'm pretty sure most of them do! With all the potential profit, who'd resist selling it? And besides, how many level 100+s have you seen in Fally world 2 selling coal? 3. It seems like you've forgotten that mining coal gives XP. Meaning that if a autoer is successful to mine enough coal to get to level 70, they'll be able to access this level with 20 more coal and less people. 4. And the economy will still possibly shatter. You know how prices are already all dropping? This will increase the dropping rate of prices. And the reasons you got 10K addy and didn't kill the economy was because it's only 10K, and it probably took you quite a long time. The people that access these two new levels could possibly mine 1K-20K coal each. I'm guessing about 5K people will use it relatively frequently. That's over 50K coal introduced to the economy! Probably half of them will use it for smithing, leaving 25K. 25K coal for the high price of 200 each is 5M. Enough to slightly destroy the economy in less than a month. 5. You mention the level 70 one being F2P. What makes you think F2P would get this? 6. Monsters? Bam, skillers dead. No good... 7. A few, as in paying 100 each per coal you want some guy to take to the bank. Possibly... 8. And the reason that gold prices haven't dropped is because they have. 9. You mine 3K coal a day? If you can one hit coal, it'll take 3 minutes to mine 28 ores, bring them to the bank, and go back. 3000 coal requires over 107 loads. 107 loads*3 minutes per load = 321 minutes. That's over 5 hours. Are you saying you play over 5 hours of RuneScape a day? 10. Autoers can easily hide behind rocks. I do it myself, when I'm mining iron to escape from the King Scorpions. So much for your autoer-proof plan.

The final death of autoing in the mining guild...
Old. And the same reason has been said every time, it would kill skillers. For mining skillers, their goal is the mining guild, so they can mine coal without getting annoyed by scorpions. The only way to stop autoers is to report them, and to make randoms more frequent.

Mid-Term Elections
Deval Patrick, the Democrat wins from Massachusetts. Kind of obvious he was going to.

highest score i've gotten on this game!
My typical flight: Fly all the way up, VERY high. Into the sky where it's pitch-black. Then come streaming down, head first. Whack a bubble and a skateboard. Slam against the ground, and fly back up into space. Come back down, hit a rocket, fly even quicker towards the ground, BAM! 80 feet. Now to break 400 ft... EDIT: Wow...Every time after I post, I get a new high score.

Advice..
You have what, 2 3/4 years left in school until college? So just high school, right? According to people I know, Newton South High School is one of the best high schools in the Boston area. It's also one of the newest. But on the other side of town is Newton North High School. Blech, I've heard there are no windows. And mold everywhere. Ask your dad where in Newton he wants to move to. Tell him to check out the school system. There are probably some pictures of NNHS out there, if he sees them, he MIGHT change his mind. And from what I guess, the schools thing is the only reason you don't really want to move. Just say that you don't want to leave your friends, after being used to seeing them 5 days a week, for 5 years. But change is part of life, and we all have to deal with it. I better stop soon before I seem like some crazy guy from TV that I don't know the name of.

Is your city one of the world's best?
Woah. Boston is 36th? The people that made this probably have never been to Boston. Not only is there a lot of crime in the southern half, there's a LOT of pollution...Rofl...I just found a nice nickname for Boston, BS-Ton.

Cannons or no cannons?
Cannons are only annoying in multi-combat zones. I don't think hill giants are in a multi-combat zone. Anyways, I love my cannon. It's the best 750K I've spent. And keep in mind, it only gives 1/4th of normal XP, so it's not that easy XP, unless you're max hit with arrows is 7-8.

Advice..
ROFL, Newton???? I know millions of people that live there! (Maybe not millions, but who cares?) Anyways, it used to be the safest city in the USA. Now it's 4th. Still good. Way better than Boston. It's actually no different than Boston, I've been there before. And believe me, there are not only people with nice houses and rich cars. That's only on Commenwealth and Chestnut, near the heart of Newton. If you're going to move to northern Newton, then you'll fit in. Newton Center is like a mini-version of Boston. Southern Newton? A little different, but still close enough. And isn't Newton just right next to Boston? You can look at that two ways... 1. It's so close, what's the point of moving? 2. It's so close, you can just visit your friends... Think about it. Tell your dad those two reasons if you want. But since he has mre power on this decision than you, there's not much chance of you changing his mind. But if you have a pretty good argument, and if he's nice, there's a chance.

America's Public School System
In Massachusetts, some schools are good, some schools are bad. I don't mean only in grades, but in what is taught, environment, etv. There's very little bullying at my school, and I doubt there's really that much anywhere else. The main concern is something called the MCAS. The Massachusetts Comprehensive A... S... is a test that is required for every student in a public school between the grades of 3 and 10. Math and English Language Arts are taken every year, with some Science and History thrown in sometimes. When I started, it was just ELA every year, and math every other year. Rarely any Science or history either. Pretty much, the MCAS people are deciding "Bah, I think they need to learn this. Let's make an MCAS about it." Like my math teacher says, soon enough, there'll be a Phys. Ed. MCAS. And the crazy thing is that MCAS has no affect on your grade. No affect on college applications. No affect on pretty much anything. So it's pretty much pointless. And di I mention that once a day in 4th, 7th and 10th grade, you spend the whole 6 and a half hours of school writing an essay on some strange topic, like "Who's your best friend? Why?"

Whoa, that was a close one.. EDIT: New pic.
First, get rid of the names. I don't want to sound like a wanna-be mod, but I believe there's a no-naming rule, even in pictures. (If you're using their name for smoething "negative" they did, or something...) Second, I can't believe that someone with "penguin" in their name would do that. I just can't. Third, that's crazy. That's why I only go to trustable drop parties now, as there are many scams that occur during drop parties. Good job to Hell King for catching the fact that she banked her items. Good for him. Hopefully someone killed her in the wild. I just love it when scammers' scams don't work. And too bad for anyone that lost anything valuable, just be more careful.

Firework Havok
I live in of the safest cities in the USA, so I guess I won't need to worry about that. Besides, almost all the kids in my neighborhood are nerds, I think over half of them are on the math team. And I used to be afraid of fireworks. The sound. Ergh. I finally got over it in 4th grade. And now, I enjoy them on July 4th, or SPECIAL occasions. Special as in when the Red Sox won their first World Series in 86 years. Not special as in completing Monkey Madness or Recipe for Disaster. They're annoying otherwise, especially late at night.

Favourite word u never forget to say every day!
"Um" "I'm done" "What the heck, you moron?!" "" "Bonjour" "Stupid" "What?" "You're strange (or other strange adjective, like blue)" And in my strangest voice ever, a high-pitched, relatively feminine, voice, "Omigosh!!!" Yep, if you've known me for 7 years, and all of a sudden hear me do my "Omigosh!!!" thing, you'll think I'm weird.

More Worlds
I'm guessing we'll get some new worlds after hunting. If I remember correctly, there were quite a few new worlds after construction came out. Hopefully these new servers will be for the other side of the world, meaning East Asia. I guess the chances for that to happen are slim, and we'll probably get new servers for current locations, but oh well. And the only thing that'll happen if every world is full is the fact it would be impossible to get on, and hard mining. So either Jagex releases new mining spots, or brings out new worlds. I hope to have both, hopefully at least before 2007.

Mages and Archers, and their Castle Wars problem...
What about nature runes, chaos runes, body runes, mind runes, etc.? The new items you've suggested only save mages the elemental runes, which are the least expensive. Also, no new spells, unless it can be won as a prize for say, 200 tickets or something like that. I also don't really like the idea of new range items. Overall: Overpowers mages and rangers. Yes, it saves them money, but that's not the point of magic. It's supposed to save money, and besides, there's no way to retrieve runes. So a definitely no for the mage suggestions. The bows for rangers seem kind of pointless, as they don't cost much. And the fact that FREE rune arrows can be acquired, although not taken out is kind of surprising. Remember, some people use Castle Wars for training. This would kill them, no matter if they use magic, range or melee. Even though this doesn't give XP, I doubt any mage trying to train magic with runes he bought or made would survive against 75 free rune arrows. And no one training melee would be able to survive against thunder spells or free ice barrages. Meaninig only rangers would survive. Who would want a Castle Wars in which you need to range in in order to win?

highest score i've gotten on this game!
I'm addicted to this game now. The first few times I played, I didn't get it, and got 0's. So far, my highest for one hit is 97, and my highest overall is 270-ish. (How the heck do you do so well?? Is it mainly luck?) EDIT: This just in! 2ND EDIT: Yay, I got 360! Although none of my individual hits were over 100, I managed to pass 300 again.

Ever been talking about an item then geting it as a drop?
Sort of. I was a new P2Per. I was asking some of my friends who had been members for a while about some mini-games, including Treasure Trails. I was thieving a farmer, and I accidently clicked attack instead pickpocket. I kill him, and I get a clue scroll. Turns out to be my best scroll so far. Also, I was talking about big bones down in Edgeville dungeon, near the hill giants. Obviously, when I killed a hill giant, it dropped big bones...

Does anyone still have old halloween candy?
I remember I had a leftover egg after the Easter ring event. When it ended, and I found chocolate dust, I thought "Z0MGPMG!!! HACKED!!!" Yeah...I was strange...Still am.

People are getting crazy with halloween!
I have a collection of xes from bronze to rune. Yup, I have all 6 F2P axes. So obviously, I wouldn't need to buy an axe for this event. But who cares about me? For the Easter event, I remember getting over 200 options at the Falador respawn of a spade. A little less at Draynor, but still quite a few. Some high-level kept taking them, he obviously was going to sell them. But I had my secret spade respawn. Upstairs in Varrock general store. No one else was there, just me. So I collected 10 spades, and sold them for 5K each. The 50K profit was a lot to me back then... So yeah...If you think before you buy, you might save yourself some money. For example, say you're in world 1/2. You're trying to buy 2K chaos runes. You stand the marketplace, saying that you'll buy them for 150 each, although you can get them much cheaper at a rune store. Maybe not on a crowded world, but on some worlds you can.

More options for low levels in castle wars
I believe I count as one of those low-levels. Is sub-60 what you were talking about? I guess that people under level 40 have almost nothing to do in CW, but between level 40 and 60, there's plenty to do. What I do/My "rules" for CW: -Never use melee, you'll get clobbered. Use range or magic, they're much better. -Get a few other low levels and head to the catapult. Possibly have a guy running back and forth from the catapult to the place with rocks. If you do it right, you can super-quick firing. You might kill some people on your own team, but you SHOULD be killing more on the other team. -Act as a decoy. For example, find someone in a fight, and will probably lose. When people see a level 90 and a level 50, 95% of the time, they'll attack the level 50. I'm not sure why, but they do. And once they attack the level 50, the level 90 is free to run off, and do some damage. -Jost protect the flag/flag carrier...It's not like it's going to do any damage to your own team. You might not be too much of a help, but hey, the more the merrier. -Go to the tunnels, and either clear rocks for your own team, or knock rocks onto the other team. See? Plenty of things to do. I guess a few more things to do would be better, but that's fine for me.

More F2P Bank Space! [BANKSPACE ACHIEVED!]
I'm not sure what to say. There are good things and bad things. Good: -You sent in the letter. -It doesn't look like you're trying to start a flame war. Just stating your opinion. Bad: -When I said that YOU should clear out your bank, it was because you had pretty much the same items as the guy that posted his bank. And the items that you told him to get rid of, you had most of them as well. -F2P have gotten the new prayers, the Stronghold of Security, the Home Teleport, the tutors AND the Lumbridge bank. If that isn't enough to count as updates, then I don't know what does. I admit that MOST of them were for newbies, although I'm sure most F2P players appreciated it, despite their levels. Pretty much it. And Advgm, I'm still trying to figure out what you said.

Hunter Skill!
I'm really lazy. Too lazy to read 8 pages. So don't blame me if this has already been brought up. (Blame me...Sure...) How will the skill menu look? I doubt there's enough space on there to fit both the new skill icon AND the total level. So will we get a scroll bar? Or will total level be moved? And I'm going to wait for it to come before I judge it. Currently, I'm guessing it's going to be alright. Not that good, but not as bad as farming. Actually...It's probably going to be like farming. It'll take a long time. You'll probably have to set a trap, wait an hour or something like that, come back, capture the animal, and do whatever to it. Anything relating to combat except for magic isn't my style, so hopefully this won't involve combat. Just traps and stuff like that.
