Player and Forum mods: Life Long dream?
I'm pretty sure jagex has trained monkeys pushing the ban button at random. I saw a screenshot of a guy who sent as last chance appeal: "**** you Jagex, I did it, I did swear and scam, bam me i dont careee hahaha" And guess what? His last chance appeal was accepted, along with appologies from Jagex. Either someone has a sense of humour, or the trained monkey decided to save him. IMO, Jagex just picks randomly p mods along players lvl 60+ :lol: I have a friend whose brother became p mod, he was lvl 80, and he never reported people, never did anything special. P mod status just fell on him at random. I'm thinking 30% of p mods are so for unjustified reasons. Especially when you see a lvl 70 p mod, that obviously has no idea how to play this game, poor skills, and probably just reported people to get p modness, I think it's just ridiculous.

Day 7: About Love
The whole point is to gain happiness. A relationship can make one lastingly happy. A one night-stand is merely physical pleasure, no happiness involved.

Day 7: About Love
Weird, I'm a lot more like the girl branch than the boy branch. I'm not interested in making friendships with people I want to have a relationship with. I just skip that and go strait to trying to make a relationship.

rethinking the "no returned items" policy
I've played some games in which they would restore the items that were lost due to glitches(which makes sense) but I have yet to see a game that restores items caused by player scamming.

To ban or not to ban: A lvl 126---1,500+ views
They ban f2ps and members alike.

NOT MUCH OF A DEBATE LOCK PLEASE
I believe the reason those p2p games have a limited trial is because they cannot afford people not paying for the game for prolonged periods of time. Imo, Rs having an unlimited f2p version is an advantage, they can afford it.

The Cape Of Music/Adventure!
My pragmatic side tells me this is useless. But, the cape looks very nice, and I think it would make a lot of people happy. I'm definitively for.

Because I don't remember doing it, it didn't happen?
-.- As I said, I regard it as a possibility, not something that is certain to happen. There's no point in arguing with me, I'm keeping open-minded while you are not. What can I say?

Because I don't remember doing it, it didn't happen?
I also believe the world may end in 2012. I see it as a possiblity. A lot of people who had some near-death experiences predicted it. I consider NDE as the only source of reliable information, since people who live it can describe events that go on in real life while they are dead, and not only things around them, this proves that it's not some sort of dream they have. Mediums predicted it aswell. I agree many so called mediums are fake, but there exists mediums who aren't, and have proved it many times. The Indian calender ends in 2011, and the Mayan calender ends in 2012. You know, it's a lot of concidences, I think that it's very well possible that the world ends in 2012, as weird as it could sound. A lot of people ridiculize that theory, but if you take the time to look at the information and coincidences it's very scary.

Is it true? (Question directed at the Dutch)
Netherlands and belgium allow it under these conditions: 1: The patient must be experiencing unbearable pain. 2: The patient must be conscious. 3: The death request must be voluntary. 4: The patient must have been given alternatives to euthanasia and time to consider these alternatives. 5: There must be no other reasonable solutions to the problem. 6: The patient's death cannot inflict unnecessary suffering on others. 7: There must be more than one person involved in the euthanasia decision. 8: Only a doctor can euthanize a patient. 9: Great care must be taken in actually making the death decision. As you can see, it's not done lightly. And it's plausible that it's the place with the highest rates since only four places on the planet allow it: Oregon(since 1997), Switzerland(since 1941), Belgium(since 2002) and Netherlands(since 2003). So if they do have the highest rates, it's no big deal, it's normal, it's one of the rares places on earth where it's allowed.

Trouble Brewing? (Sabo, Bucketing and Popularity)
You think you're way of playing is oh-so-intelligent and oh-so-better than everyone's else, but you have to realise someday that's not how thing works. We enjoy different things in that game, and that's how it is, there's no 'better' way to play. You, you're the serious no-fun pragmatic tactictian. And I'm the playful and impulsive pyro. If I ever start playing Rs again, god save my soul, I look foward being your

What makes school the "right thing"?
For me, my life is not fun-oriented. I think having fun is great, but I strive on bigger aspirations. In whatever area has my interest, I want all or nothing. My own beliefs would make me think that if life was all fun, and if everything was easy, then we would not learn anything from our earthy lives. I agree this doesn't make any sense. Personally, I study so that I can have a future, money doesn't interest me, but I have no choice to get some if I want to survive. If there was another way, to live the way I want without having to work in this greedy capitalist society, I would do it. However, my ideal is not living on an isolated island. I would love living in a society like ours, but in which there is a lot of liberty and peace. I think having a society like that would be extremely difficult to create though because of the cruel nature of mankind. But I think our society would be greatly improved if at school, and in the medias, people were taught essential humanist values such as liberty, acceptance, compassion, non-violence, kindness, guidance, etc. Our capitalist society teaches greedyness, lazyness, superficiality, exploitation, and intolerance, no wonder the results are not beautiful. Money can buy food, clothes, lodging, and certain fun activities, and without those one is unhappy. I also think money can buy small temporary joys. Like when you buy a new video game you were excited about, then you're really happy for a few hours or a few days, then you come back at your normal state. But money will never buy deep and lasting happiness. Well, I think knowledge is important, but North-American schools just miserably fail at teaching it. Kids are forced to study things that do not interest them, instead of being able to study things that interest them. The overall atmosphere of schools is "if you're good at school, you're a nerd and nobody likes you", "if you suck at school, you're a rebel, you're cool and everyone will want to be with you", not what I would call the best learning atmosphere. The "cool" kids grow to be lazy, and uneducated adults as a result of this. In France it's the total contrary: parents and teachers and overly strict, and huge sanctions are imposed to kids who do not perform as required. It's not good, on the contrary, it's creating stock-up adults, with closed minds. The new prime minister Nicolas Sarkozy wants to make French schools even more disciplined and strict, I can't imagine what's going to happen to the poor kids. I'm French and I can tell you this right now, the French are extremely intellectual people. They value grammar, orthograph, knowledge, intellect, hard work, but as a result, they became closed-minded and set in their ways. Fortunately, I lived my childhood in France, but my teenage and adult life in Canada, so I can understand both cultures, and I didn't become stock up. I think schools should just be revised altogether, and be infused with more social values, and a balance between work and fun. I know this is hard to obtain, but it's worth trying. Nice subjext btw, I love it, it's open so it's easy to discuss about it. We could go to the length of talking about the bases of our society with it. :P

"COOL" Summer Treats!
I'm a hot climate person, the heat of the summer doesn't bother me at all. I don't eat more fruits during the summer than in any other time of the year, the sugary taste just makes me thirsty. I like watermelon, raspberries, blueberries. Funny your comment about the peaches. I don't like canned fruits, especially peaches. I guess I can't stand the "treated peach" :)

Trouble Brewing? (Sabo, Bucketing and Popularity)
Don't get me wrong, I get the fun AND the reward, water buckets >;D Of course sabbotage is my favorite activity, but I get working when I see the other team could win, since I love competitition(crushing the competition that is >;D) It's the other team that has to rebuild, so of course if you see me on the other team, you better join my team or your up for some repairing :XD: Of course the other team could try to have a vengence, but if everyone of our team sabotages, the other team will be desperate, and they won't have any more wood to fix things. :XD:

99 Woodcut on Mages or 80 Fishing on Sharks?
I lean towards 99 woodcut, since magic logs sell easily, and you can fletch them. With 93, I fish ~100 sharks an hour, 85-95k/hour, not much.

Do you use sarcasm in RuneScape?
Sarcasm doesn't work when it's written, unless it's obvious. OR sarcasm can work, but when very well written : something our one-line Runescape chat doesn't allow.
