We can get rid of randoms now! Heres how
In Swan Song, I'm pretty sure you kill the River Troll Queen or something...If you've done Swan Song, no more River Trolls for you! In Forgettable Tale of a Drunken Dwarf, there's a bunch of stuff about the Drunken Dwarf. If you've done that, no more drunken dwarf randoms. The ones that give clothing/emotes should be kept the way they are, but the rest of them - Maybe. The way to destroy Evil Bob should be connected to the current cat quests...Somehow...

What would have happened if... (alternate history thread)
:lol: I couldn't help it. Raven_Guard - Athens (The city) was destroyed by the Persians during the Persian War, but the people escaped to Salamis. Just saying. And I said something along those lines a while ago, and Zonorhc disagreed...Strongly... But if somehow, ancient democracy was ended during the time of the Greeks, I'm sure the idea would've popped up eventually. If I remember correctly, the Iroquois used a democracy, and I'm pretty sure they didn't know who the Greeks were. And I'll suppose I'll give an answer to my own question - What would've happened if the British won the Revolutionary War? I suppose that Britain and Spain would've eventually fought a huge war over North America. The French would join on the Spanish side, and so would quite a lot of other European countries. The British would have their list of allies, and gigantic battles would be fought. The Spanish and French would've won, and North America would've been split among numerous European countries, and would basically be a second Europe. (A bunch of small-ish countries...) France would probably take Britain, and the French and the Spanish would be superpowers, instead of Britain and America.

What grinds your gears?
In no particular order... 1. People that block up the entire hallway/doorway, and don't move when you say "Excuse me" 5 times. Especially "popular" girls. 2. Jocks. (I mean relatively athletic people that judge themselves, and say that they're cool...And go on to pick on everyone for no reason.) 3. People who have no idea what they're talking about. 4. Spoiled children. 5. The mothers of spoiled children. (Occasionally the fathers, but overall, usually mothers) 6. Teachers who give a lot of work for no reason. 7. Arrogant people. 8. Public bathrooms (I wrote an editorial about them :-w ) 9. Quite a lot of other things...Mainly things that are usually associated with OCD.

New Skill Music related?
It could work...Somewhat...I don't think RuneScape needs it though. When I think of music as a skill, I think of it as something like "Play an instrument, get some buffs (Boosts)". Prayer and potions already give us that. =/ But if you can think of some other uses of it, (I know you already said the special thing, but I don't really think that's worth a whole skill...) then perhaps.

Best Tower Defence you know
Best free TD? Probably Onslaught 2. Click

~Spongebob Squarepants~
I used to watch it, usually when there was nothing else on. The only time I seriously watched it, out of interest, was The Best Day Ever. My favorite episode? I don't know, but the fantasy one (Patrick and Spongebob go to a duel, they end up having to save Princess Pearl, etc.) was...Interesting... And apparently Spongebob is really popular in Taiwan right now. :-s

What would have happened if... (alternate history thread)
What would the world be like if the Americans/Colonists lost the Revolutionary War? (American revolution, that is...) And apparently, there are many ways the Americans could've lost the war. But somehow, probably just because of luck, they didn't. For instance, George Washington was nearly shot quite a few times. Once, there was a "sniper" trying to shoot him. His gun malfunctioned the first time he tried to shoot it. Before he got another chance, he was caught. If George Washington was killed then, then the Continental Army would've sucked a lot more, and possibly wouldn't have won. Or the Crossing. (Of the Delaware) The Americans, helped by lucky weather (Fog...) managed to catch the Hessians by surprise. Without the fog, the Hessians might have been ready, and destroyed them, ending the Revolution. It's quite interesting that one of the most powerful countries wouldn't exist if someone was just a little less lucky.

What is a word? and Any point to this?
Bolded the part I thought was funny. You're finding a number that is the number + 4 over the number. So obviously, you'd need to add the number, then a 4. That's not discovery, that's just... simple. It's basically: X+(X+4) = X * 2 + 4 X * 2 is the same as X + X, that is what multiplying something by two is. I could do the same thing with any number. 95 is 90 more then 5. I want to add a number 95 more then 5. Multiply 5 by two to get 10. Add 90. Get 100 OR Add 95 to 5. Get 100. What I just did was instead of adding the number (95), I subtracted from it the second number (5), added the result (90) and then added the number I'd previously gotten (5). 95 does equal 90 + 5. [/hide] oh, thats sort-of exactly what I was looking for I don't seem to notice those things its the details I generally notice... Hmm, that is quite the mind-boggler never thought :XD: of that... intersesting?!,. :-k To me, it seems like the number you start with (3, 4, 5) is x, and the number you end up with (10, 12, 14) All the examples you gave were examples of the equation y=2x+4.

What is a word? and Any point to this?
Uh...What? According to that, to find 7 more than 10... Multiply 10 by 2 = 20. 20+4 = 24. 24 isn't 7 more than 10? And in my words (Haha...) a word is something used to communicate. Usually written/spoken, but I think there are other ways.

Today...
My school had a late arrival, so I got to school at 12. I woke up at 8 or so...Ate breakfast, played some games, then headed for my friend's house at 11, and then school. We got out at the usual 2:30, but I had a math meet. It was eh...My school last, but I got the highest score at the meet. \

Regrets and life...
I was going to make a topic about this a few days ago. :uhh: (I decided against it) I suppose if I look at it a certain way, I could regret everything I've done. But mainly arguing with my parents, doing *certain* things and getting in trouble, and not joining math team in 6th grade. I've also made plenty of choices that I regret. I don't regret RuneScape, it was what got me into gaming, which I really enjoy. It was also what got me registered for TIF, and yeah...

Improvements to Clan Wars
Yes I believe that would be a good reward. What would the requirements be to gain this though? Simply your team winning? Or should you gain this armor based on what YOU contribute to the fight? I suppose that since it's what Castle Wars (The other CW) gives as rewards, and plenty of people play Castle Wars, it would be enough to make people happy. And it should be based on what you do, since there would be people that just stand at the side and do nothing, just to get the rewards.

Your Greatest Fears
Not really sure the greatest...But most of my fears, in the end, are death. For instance, vehicular accidents. (Like plane crashes, car accidents, etc.) The main reason I'm afraid of them is that I could die because of them. Same with fire. I get burned, I burn up, I die. Dogs. They bite me. I bleed to death, I get some disease, something. I die. So I guess I'll have to say death...

idea for bounty hunter
there you have a point, but seeing as rune/barrows armor is ridiculously cheap now anyway, and i don't see anyone taking dragon armor into the wilderniss, it wouldn't hurt Yeah, I personally wouldn't mind if armor/weapon prices ROSE. In fact, I actually want them to rise...Smithing is making so much less money... Anyways, the only problem is with RWTs using this. What you said would probably catch the majority of them, but there would be some that slip through. Perhaps make it so you can only get 1 relic from each player every 30 minutes-hour. Otherwise, not a bad idea!

Improvements to Clan Wars
Now that I think about it, the other options from dueling wouldn't be THAT great. Perhaps No Potions and No Prayer, but I suppose the other ones would create chaos. I'm not a big fan of Pest Control, so I hope what I suggest isn't too good... I'm thinking that for every combat level of every person you kill, you get one point. Kill a level 100 and you get 100 points. Kill a level 70 and you get 70 points. For every point, you can get 2 XP points in whatever combat you choose, not counting prayer. When summoning comes out, I'll decide whether or not it'd be included. If you exchange 1000 or more points at a time, you get an extra 5%. If you exchange 10000 or more points at a time, you get an extra 10%. Basically...1000 points is 2100 XP, and 10K points is 22K XP. You are allowed to Exchange X. Perhaps you could get some sort of armor or something as well. (Possibly P2P only)

Improvements to Clan Wars
Nice idea. That's going to be troublesome actually. It can be annoying, just in the Duel Arena, because people want youto play by their rules -- imagine an entire clan of people with different rules each... Good point harrinator, I guess that would be difficult. Couldn't it just be made that the clan leader (The one that started the clan chat) gets to pick? I really like the no-food suggestion, and clan wars with more than 2 clans would be cool. Despite team capes, I think marking clanmates on the minimap should be added, since many clans use the same cape, as well as the fact that many clans recruit at clan wars, and people they recruit often don't have money with them to buy a cape. Of course, the leader could just buy a ton of capes and give them out, but with people joining and leaving clans frequently, that could be quite hectic. Otherwise, I think some sort of reward system is needed. Kind of like what Moonshadow said, but maybe you can get runes/arrows, or maybe XP?

Reading...
I usually read topics that I can respond to...Ones like the cricket one, I ignore. I also like reading locked topics...And I skip religious ones. If the topic is less than 5 pages, I'll probably end up reading the whole thing. If it is more than 5 pages, I'll read the first page, maybe the second, the last, and maybe the second to last. And if I have spare time, I'll probably read more. If the first post is really long, I tend to just skip to the end of the thread and see if I figured out what's going on. I only respond if I feel like I can contribute, or if it's a debate, and I find that I can counter someone's post pretty well, then I'd reply. But in the end, I still read a lot more than I post.

Most embarassing thing ever to happen to you?
Eh, a few at the top of my list. 1. Getting pantsed in 6th grade, at the top of the staircase. And there were like 6 girls behind me. 2. At one bathroom at my school, there used to be no walls around the stalls. So no one was in the bathroom, so I figured, eh, I'll use the toilet. I hear the door opening and I start panicking. >.< 3. When I was younger, I was peeing in a stall with a broken lock, and halfway through, the door just happened to open. :-w

Does anyone else here think this?
Exactly what I was going to say. Likewise. This is worse than stackable ess... #-o Although as for bags, I can sort of see that. Pouches were added to Runecrafting mainly because of the tiny amount of XP that is given, as well as the fact that it's done in a fixed location. (At least that's what I think) Mining is somewhat similar, so if any other skill was to get these bags, it should be mining. I understand your concerns about smithing...I've been doing a good amount of it lately, and I've realized that other than rune bars and Goldsmithing gauntlets, XP is terrible. But for fletching, I'm not sure why you're complaining. Fletching is one of the easiest skills. :-s

Personal defense
I live in a very safe city, one of the safest in the USA. I really doubt I'll get attacked on the streets. Of course, when I'm in Boston, it's a different story...But still. No, I don't carry anything that a regular person would call a weapon. Although at school I have a rubber band in my pocket just in case.

Something, a lil midevil?
To me, it sounds a lot like Pest Control. The only differences I see are that these attacks would be random, and they would be on actual cities. For it being random, I'm against it. You said it could be a minigame though, in which case, I'm neutral, due to its similarity to PC. For it being on actual cities, perhaps PC could be altered a little. I doubt people would like it, but perhaps make fixing the fence-thing crucial. If that was done, it sounds basically like what you suggested. Or, there could just be a new mini-game. I don't think we need one that's almost the same as a current one though.

Real suggestions to yesterdays updates
Nadir...Once again, I think you misread my post/didn't read my post. I really doubt someone who has made 2 mil, in which case they have nice stats, will buy 200K. It'd take them an hour or two to make that money honestly. If they've taken the time to make 2 honest mil, then chances are that they're not going to buy 200K illegally. A formula taking into account combat level, total level AND quest points (Possibly total wealth) would be the best.
-
Claws--2 hits in one attack?
Yes, claws do need an update. I like the throwing-knife speed idea...People use throwing knives to train ranging, so people probably would use claws to train melee stats. Now, for the matter of the special attack...If dragon claws are ever released, this update should be done at the same time. Along with that, the rune special attack should be given to dragon claws. If dragon claws are never going to be released, I suppose the special attack could be changed. Perhaps make it kind of like the dragon dagger spec, except without the increased accuracy and damage.

Whats some of your fav TV series ?
24 was awesome in the first 4-5 seasons. Season 6 was nothing new, it was way too predictable and not the excellent show I loved. I hear that season 7 will be completely different...Hopefully it is. Otherwise, Monk and Psych used to be my favorite shows. I find Psych to be funnier, as it fits my sense of humor more. Monk's humor is more sophisticated, but it's still a good show. And there's also House, which is eh. I'm not a big fan of medical things but I still find interest in it.

Stereotypes
Maybe I shouldn't let my grandma drive next time I visit her... :-s Asians -Extremely smart -Extremely good at playing musical instruments -Spend all their time studying, playing piano, reading, or playing computer games -Have glasses -Play RuneScape :-s -Own (Or their parents own) a laundromat, a restaurant, a drug company (Or works at a drug company) or is a doctor -Have last names that end with W, X, Y or Z. -Have 50 aunts/uncles/siblings
