St. Louis Wins World Series
lol...i like the twins, but your stadium annoys me But they are getting a new one! Hurray ^_^ I nice one too! I've seen the piccy's! (Go Down To Sights And Sounds) Nothin to be ashamed of now. Looks nice! Now if only The Bo-Sox would make a park that fits that many people :x . Almost impossible to get tickets to Sox games. They have sold out I think like 4 seasons in a row. That's what 35,000 seats does to you in a big city with fans who love their team:roll: PS. Go Patriots! Go Brad Johnson! :lol: And get rid of Fenway? :shock: I remember a few years ago, there was a huge debate on wether or not a new stadium for the Sox should be built. "No" won, and the main reason was the history. Fenway isn't just the stadium in which Ted Williams, Yaz, and the '04 Sox played. It's also the oldest current stadium in the MLB. It might be small, but I think by 2012, the 100 anniversary of Fenway, there will probably be mor ethan 40,000 seats.

Rant generator?
I've got a bone to pick with everyone. I begin with critical semantic clarifications. First, everyone ignores the most basic ground rule of debate. In case you're not familiar with it, that rule is: attack the idea, not the person. We ought to rally good-hearted people to the side of our cause. That'll make everyone think once -- I would have said "twice" but I don't see any indication that it has previously given any thought to the matter -- before trying to introduce changes without testing them first. If you were to tell everyone that it has never been accused of objectivity, it'd just pull its security blanket a little tighter around itself and refuse to come out and deal with the real world. If everyone opened its eyes, it'd realize that a day without everyone would be like a day without disagreeable, patronizing totalitarianism. If everyone truly wanted to be helpful, it wouldn't make a mockery of the term "undemonstrativeness". Everyone wants to get me thrown in jail. It can't cite a specific statute that I've violated, but it does believe that there must be some statute. This tells me that everyone is at least partially right in that I take seriously the view that there is no time and little temptation for those who work hard on their jobs and their responsibilities to make life less pleasant for us. If, after hearing facts like that, you still believe that its strictures enhance performance standards, productivity, and competitiveness, then there is undeniably no hope for you. I am convinced that there will be a strong effort on everyone's part to extirpate the things that I indisputably cherish eventually. This effort will be disguised, of course. It will be cloaked in deceit, as such efforts always are. That's why I'm informing you that everyone wants to identify political and religious groups that are its political enemies and re-label them as "jejune cult leaders" in order to justify operations against them. Such intolerance is felt by all people, from every background. I, for one, normally prefer to listen than to speak. I would, however, like to remind everyone that I correctly predicted that it would display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations. Alas, I didn't think it'd do that so effectively -- or so soon. You should not ask, "What exactly is everyone trying to hide?", but rather, "Where are the people who are willing to stand up and acknowledge that everyone has the gall to send spiteful paper-pushers on safari holidays instead of publicly birching them?". The latter question is the better one to ask, because it is trying to acquire public acceptance of its overbearing shell games. Their mission? To prey on people's fear of political and economic instability. One might conclude that everyone prizes wealth and celebrity over and above decent morals and sound judgment. Alternatively, one might conclude that everyone's flunkies are capable of little else but hating and lying, even to each other. In either case, in asserting that human life is expendable, it demonstrates an astounding narrowness of vision. All of this once again proves the old saying that I can promise freedom-lovers everywhere that my priorities, observations, countermeasures, and predictions are not in any manner similar to those embraced by everyone. I have no idea what that says. Tell me if it makes any sense.

How Many PC's In Your House??
What does 'The Chinese One' mean? It means the one with a Chinese keyboard, and the default language is Chinese. Pretty much the ones we brought over from Taiwan. And I think one of them has a special program for typing Chinese.

Jigsaw Puzzles
I love puzzles. When I was 4 or 5, for Christmas, my family got a 3D Taj Mahal puzzle. We were at my grandma's house, with almost all my other relatives and we spent pretty much the whole day working on it. And every time my Aunt and Uncle visit my family's house, they bring some giant 1000-500 piece puzzle of an animal. And on that animal are a bunch of other animals. For example, there's a huge dolphin puzzle that has a bunch of pictures of fish on it. And about 3D puzzles: They're awesome. I have 4 mini ones that I take apart e few times a year and rebuild them. And I have a Great Wall of China one, which is personally my favorite, since I'm Chinese. What I really would like to see is a Fenway Park/Boston puzzle. A Fenway one with all the players, the Green Monster and even dugouts would be awesome.

Chaos Elemental Translation?
Aw/Yay. Aw because I never really liked the "Hunting" suggestion. Yay because it's a new skill. I'm guessing on the list of monsters for hunting: -Squirrels -Raccoons -Ferrets -Penguins (Shudders) -Turkeys? From the "Undead quiver". I think it means either a place with skeletons. ghosts or zombies will get invaded with new monsters.

More F2P Bank Space! [BANKSPACE ACHIEVED!]
Wow...Read the post first? Anyways, Aarone, using your "theory" that you should only keep items you need, YOU shoudl take away from your bank the emerald ring, one type of arrow, the fly fishing rod, and many other things. Things that you need to train skills. And that's exactly what Prankster has on his list. Items like food are used to train combat. Items like gems are used to train crafting. I don't think there are any useless F2P items (Other than the rather cool holiday/random event/quest items), so there's no reason to take anything away. And... So what about the other updates? IF F2P DO NOT DESERVE UPDATES, then WHY THE HECK DID THEY GET THOSE UPDATES THIS YEAR????? And if Jagex gets $50 Million a month, it wouldn't hurt to update F2P, would it? I mean, they're already making enough money...And some people are saying that if F2P get 12 more bankspaces, then Jagex will amke less money. Maybe a little less, but I doubt any more than $1 Million. And the new skill will be part of the game, not the player file. (At least I think so) Bank space is part of the player file. There is still a lot of space on the game file, but not that much on F2P player files. (I'm pretty much guessing here...I'm probably wrong...) And once again, if my suggestoin is to happen, then it will probably do two things. 1. Make the new costume room almost useless. Oh well. 2. Save at least 10 bank spaces for most experienced F2P players. So far, through the first 32 pages of this thread, I've seen some popular arguments that Prankster has specifically said to not post. Some of those... 1. You get what you pay for. So tell me, why are they still getting updates? 2. You're lucky you can at least play./Be happy with what you get. It's kind of hard to be happy with what you get if you can't keep it in your bank. And it's hard to feel lucky for the same reason. 3. Just pay for members. I already replied about this to Clay2. Not everyone here makes money, if it's from a job or an allowance. And it's usually not because their lazy, it's because they can't. The minimum working age where I live is 15. Many RuneScapers are under 15. How are they going to make money to pay for membership. And even if you have a job, there are other things you should pay for. If you have a car, gas. If you have a house, rent. There are many more important things in regular people's lives than RuneScape. Unless you have an argument other than those, please don't pos. (Unless you support of course). If you use one of those arguments, I'm copying and pasting.

Next years F2P update?
How about the prayers? They require relatively high prayer, and are pretty good. And keep in mind, quite a lot of the F2P population are newbs.

More F2P Bank Space! [BANKSPACE ACHIEVED!]
So...What do you have in your bank? Show a picture if you want. I'm sure there's more than quest items and holiday items. It's the random event items that take up a lot of space. Careful? How? There's no way, other than selling everything and then buying it back. And that takes WAY too long...And holiday items are not what most people complain about. So, why did F2P get that update yesterday? If they get what the pay for, that means NO updates. Including holiday updates. Seriously, Jagex proved that more F2P bankspace can be possibly by giving F2P the holiday event yesterday. Meaning? I'm guessing you meant "If there are more ads on F2P, then they might get more bankspace". And I doubt that's true. I'm guessing the only reason Jagex hasn't given any more bankspace is the file size or whatever. Long way for them. They have no glories for quick access to Draynor. No agility shortcuts. I can probably get from the Agility Pyramid to Yanille faster than I can walk from the Varrock Museum to Draynor. It might cost more, but it's probably quicker. And my idea if you skipped over it...Make random event items re-obtainable. No one wants to drop that Zombie Outfit, since they want the emotes. Well, if this happens, drop that outfit, and you'll still be able to get the emotes as you techincally still have them, because you'd be able to get them back. And I'm pretty sure this would take a lot less space than more bankspace...

More F2P Bank Space! [BANKSPACE ACHIEVED!]
I like your suggestion Dalcyte, except it won't make things that much easier. My suggestion, one that's beeen suggested over and over, is a way to get back random event clothes. So yeah, have the Clothes Shop lady and Diango team up, and give you back BOTH holiday items AND random event clothes. That'll save over 20 spaces for some people.

More F2P Bank Space! [BANKSPACE ACHIEVED!]
Firstly, that was never brought up. Secondly, some people just like the quest items. If I really had to, I would have dropped Silverlight as you can buy it back, but the Blurite Sword looks pretty cool. I believe there are 4 quest items on F2P, Silverlight, the Blurite Sword, the Amulet of Ghostspeak, and the Anti-Fire shield. 2 of those items are used in members, although I'm pretty sure they can be re-obtained. I haven't though of this until now to be honest. Thirdly, the Wise Old Man isn't so wise. All he told me was "Anti-Fire shield", "Blurite Sword" and "Silverlight". 3 items, 3 spaces. Not going to help much. And for your suggestion... The minimum working age is 15 where I live. I'm not sure what it is anywhere else, but I'm sure it's around 15. In a recent Tip.It Poll, 81% of Tip.iters are under 18. I'm guessing about 60% are under 15. Add the rest of the RuneScape population and I'm guessing 65%. So yeah, if everyone lives where I live, then 65% of the people that play RuneScape can't get jobs. And for your McDonalds analogy. McDonalds=Food. Food=Need of Life. You die without food. RuneScape/=(Does not equal)Need of Life. You don't die without RuneScape So yeah, the movie theater analogy is better. And I realise that you sort-of-support this idea. First of all... If people can't afford membership, there's a reason. Maybe they can't get a job. You're probably thinking "What about an allowance?" Well, not everyone gets an allowance. And read what I said about minimum working ages above. And some people here use their money on neccesities, like food, gas, rent, etc. Not some game that they have money to pay for, but have other priorites. And I'm a member. So shut your mouth about me being a whining F2Per. Clay, I'm not trying to start an argument. You sound like a nice guy. I just had to put my opinion out there. Asdayasman, I was. Sort of. And oh yeah, we've had a perfect example of why this could happen today. If Jagex is willing to give the F2Pers a holiday event, they better be willing to give them bank space.

Chaos Elemental Translation?
Dress up big like a flappy bird, happy bird - Turkey? Thanksgiving is coming up, although that's an American holiday. I'd say this is an use for bird eggs. Hunter strong when the ferrets herd, heretic̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s word - New quest with ferrets? Flappy high with twelve willow branches, brillo lunches - Either the thing Knight mentioned, or bird eggs. Bandos down with hail of punches, pail of hunches - Bandos... Impy sheep new and shiny, sew and ninely - More graphical updates! Curator taught but the kids are whiny, wilds not kindly - Varrock update. Or something big is going to happen with the Varrock Museum, it's been mentioned in two letters now. Izso easy to make troll king shiver, shoal thing river - Izso? Pick it up with the undead quiver, quintet liver - Range is NOT underpowered! Sing the song for shantay claws, clumpy gores - Something to do with Shantay/Shantay Pass. Perhaps a quest. Seasons pass for animal lores, magical chores - Seasons? Could the much-hated/loved idea finally be here? Penguin eyes are low and evil, crunchy weevil - This better be a lie. Penguins are NOT evil. And yes, this is possibly the use for bird eggs. You hatch the eggs...You get either a Guthix, Saradomin, or Zamorak penguin. Zamorak penguins are evil. Brutal way for shark retrieval, rather medieval - Trawler update? New fishing method/area? Trawl along the ancient bed, sucker̢̢̮ââ¬Å¡Ã¬Ã¢ââ¬Å¾Ã¢s head - Ancients or Trawler... Dwarf and scorp are almost dead... Almost dead. - Update for Dwarven Mines, AKA my favorite place. I mean the rocks will get updated to the new style. Birde eggs and graphical updates mainly...
-
Next years F2P update?
A graphical update doesn't count as an update to me. Counting graphical updates, F2P this year has gotten 5 updates. Yup, 5. 2 were graphical updates, so techincally, there were only 3 updates. I'm guessing next year there will be two. One will be a new item, which you get after completing something similar to the SoS. Except it assk RuneScape trivia, so only experienced players will be able to get it. So it will be a pretty good item. The other will either be a new spell or a new prayer. Just my thoughts...

Oh, bright sunshining day~!
Lucky...Yesterday was pouring rain. I mean POURING. My dad was driving my family home from the airport, since we were dropping my grandma and great-aunt off, and when we were going up a ramp, we got hit by water from the turnpike below. Today is almost as bad. It's extremely windy, but there's still pollen to be allergic to. I like 70 degrees Fahrenheit weather, on a Saturday. Meaning I get to stay home most of the day, manage to finish as much homework as I can, and still have time to watch TV/play RuneScape.

St. Louis Wins World Series
never, the team is canadian :P lol, i predict in a few years maybe, but there are some really tough teams in the AL east. Not really. The Devil Rays and Orioles have no hope. The Yankees are probably going to spen another 50 Mil this off-season, and end up doing worse than this year. The Red Sox are sadly going to fall apart, they're doing worse year by year. The Blue Jays are probably the only team improving, and I'm guessing in 2-3 years, they'll win the AL East. In about 5 years, the AL. In 9-13 years, the World Series.

Bah, Bomb threat.
Oh, we're mentioning fights too? Surprisingly, I've got a few that I was involved in. 5th grade: Probably my worst year. Our whole class spent pretty much the whole year arguing and fighting. I got sent to the principal's office 5 times, compared to no times in my first 5 years at that school. It was because of my stupid teacher, though... 6th grade: This kid kept trying to break into my locker. Before school one day, I was at my locker. He comes over, and starts trying to see into my locker. I kick him, and he slams me into my locker. I get up, and shove him into a locker on the other side of the hall. Part of the reason I shoved him was that he was being racist. Luckily, I didn't get in trouble, but I would have a pretty good arguement if I did. Another time was what I called the "3rd floor brawl". It was after lunch, and we were waiting for our teachers to get back to their classrooms. These two kids starts shoving each other, and actually making REAL insults, not the jokingly ones most people make. So yeah, their friends start fighting, and soon enough, almost everyone is involved. How many of you knew I was violent? :P

More F2P Bank Space! [BANKSPACE ACHIEVED!]
Thanks Jaklumen...I agree that there were some good points brought up during the first 25-ish pages. And since the cleaning, I don't think there's been a non-supporter! :P (I guess there's been one or two...) And I've reached 600 posts. Yay...
-
Bah, Bomb threat.
Last year, my school's newspaper got a "threatening letter". So 20 minutes before school ended, we were all sent to our homerooms to listen to our principal "talk". You see, my principal looks like a hamster, probably smells like a hamster, talks like a hamster, and probably tastes like a hamster. I guess not a hamster, but more of a guinea pig/mouse. Yeah, really quiet, high, and squeaky. So from what I could make out "...Threatening...School...Suspicious...Safe". 20 minutes of Phys. Ed. wasted...

easiest quest you worked on
Sheep Shearer Why not... ...Cook's Assistant-It took my ages to find an egg. I useda quest guide when I couldn't find it at first, and it said to go to the farm northeast of Lumby. I go to Farmer Fred's farm, and I spent hours finding it... ...Doric's Quest-I was afraid of Ice Mountain. Thilly me, eh? ...Rune Mysteries-I couldn't find Aubury. Imp Catcher was rather easy too, although I bought 3 of the beads from a general store and found the other on the ground. Lucky me...

Chaos Elemental has fortold the future!
Many people have tried to decipher the Chaos Elemental messagaes. For the best theories, check the official forums, under future updates. My guesses... The latest one...(July) In my house, cup of tea-Refernece to construction, although it was already out. Angry bow-Crossbows? Triangle/Pyramid-The new prayers, also maybe pyramid plunder Lunar eclipse-Lunar Diplomacy Museum-Varrock update Blue egg rises-Use for bird eggs, or rise in Easter egg prices Vyre warning-Hallowvale Helm rejoined/Gypsy-Helm could be the elemental workshop II, Gypsy is probably the Varrock update Shiver my quiver-Somethign to do with pirates/range My arm-The most recent update
-
Name of Island?
Just randomly type out letters on your keyboard. I enjoy drawing maps of random "fake" places, and I name everything by whatever letters come to mind first. For example...Kylt is one of my "city's" names. K, y, l and t were the first four letters in my mind. So right now... Tramutlk. Pronounced Tra-mutt-elk. A mix between typing and whichever letters come to mind, Of course, you could always do "Old ______", since you said you need historic landmarks.

fletching should be available in f2p!
No. The only way fletching would be F2P if all you got was up to iron arrows, iron crossbows/bolts, and oak bows. Nothing else. And I think RuneCrafting came out when RuneScape 2 came out, so it probably has always been F2P.

Loging out instead of just closing the screen
When I first started, on Penguinduck2, I used the "X". I tried to train magic on a guard, and when I found out that they would attack me, I "X"-ed out. And I died. And I lost everything. So thanks to that, I created Penguinduck3, went through Tutorial Island a little slower, and have the main account I have today.

annoying things about your family
Dad: Knows nothing about "popular" things. Pretty much all he knows about are his drugs (he studies drugs...), Hong Kong (where he's from) and mice (He's a rat in the Chinese Zodiac). I'm obviously exaggerating, if you couldn't tell. He double majored in math and computer science, and also knows quite a lot about chemistry. Another annoying thing about him is his laugh. He laughs at the stupidest things...And laughs really loudly. So when he laughs in public, almost everyone stares at us... Mom: Knows a little TOO much about "popular" things. She watches some TV shows that are aimed for teenage girls... Sister: Whenever I get home from school, the first thing I do is turn on my computer, since it takes forever for it to load. When I type in my password, I leave the computer to wait for it to load. When I get back, my sister is sitting there... There's other stuff, but that's what I could think of right know...
