  1.  

    Now, I may be way off here, but was there not something to the extent of if someone is murdered and they knew it would happen, but didn't attmept to stop it or defend themselves they might be able to return due to (anchient?) magic(k)?

     

     

     

    LOL Thats from the lion, witch, and the wardrobe XD Its what Aslan used to come back after the witch killed him. I think it was in the chapter "Even older magic" in the book.

  2. Hey guys, I have a question.

     

     

     

    A friend of mine, and myself, were planning to get 80 firemaking and heading down to the minigame for some fun and possibly some profit.

     

     

     

    Now, if I burned yews, it would cost me 2.3 ish. This would be what I would burn regardless, because all the others just waste my time and I really cant get on as often as id like so this would have to be it.

     

     

     

    Now for the question. I have heard many things about TONS of cash coming from burning the highest level shades but I really dont know where this idea stems from?

     

     

     

    The addy/rune drops, the runes, the clues, the fine cloth? What is the source of the profit and is it really worth it? Id love to hear from someone with personal experience with THE HIGHEST LEVEL SHADES!

     

     

     

    Thanks =)

  3. None of those sound feasible. Especially not the gem store one... They dont stock gems (barring sapphys and emeralds) and that would take forever to get that many.

     

     

     

    I would like to know this as well :P Someone please help lol

  4. I tend to make my things harder than others... Most people did things about learning styles (>_>) and got like 95s... Mine was like 30 pages, had a 4 page bibliography... I kinda went all out on it XD It had an accompanying power point :P...

     

     

     

    Like with my AP lit class... We were reading a holocaust novel and I made our research project 2 weeks longer than it had to be lol.... Most people did it overnight :P

     

     

     

    Character flaw or overachiever :P Either way you spin it, makes it a lot harder lol. Seems to pay off though ^_^

     

     

     

    Edit: Heh and nice pun XD Forgot to mention it.

  5. Now what makes you say that? Because someone actually cares about what happens to you when you do something? I dont believe this was really the post to put that in... Maybe one analyzing a futile aspect of the game but not one that actually has any type of logic to it.

     

     

     

    Also - Whats wrong with someone doing what they enjoy? If I wanna devote 20 hours a day to this game, its no ones affair but mine. Please dont post things unrelated to the topic on my, or anyone elses, threads.

  6. Not exactly a bullet-proof explanation but you're onto something. Firstly, dopamine is a neurotransmitic precursor to epinephrine (adrenaline.) Any dose would cause an increase in heart rate--not calm it. Also, I don't know if you have taken AP-Chemistry, or any form of toxicology, but Dopamine is strictly tied to L-DOPA and phenylalanine. Phenylalanine, tryptophan, all of those stimulant amino acids use the same active pathway. The increase of one inhibits the flow of another. A decrease in tryptophan causes an increase in sensibility/depressant sensory glands. From an immediate standpoint, and what you are taught in AP-Biology, your theory is great. But from a realistic standpoint, it just doesn't happen. That would explain the complete lack of uncircumstantial proof in humans. The reason kids can't quit may be additive (and possibly biologic), but it's not the fault of dopamine.

     

     

     

    Edit- A lot of confusion comes from misconception. Just because playing RuneScape triggers activity in the same part of the brain as coffee or solitaire doesn't mean they are caused by a common stimulus. Just like the "you only use 10% of your brain" theory :)

     

     

     

    Well I did see that it has been used for heart treatment... Also a sci fair judge made a comment about that, as did my teacher :P Dunno what the specific case in reference might have been though. Personally, I have yet to take a chem class, thats next year.

     

     

     

    Thanks for your corrections =) Maybe you should make a sticky XD Lol

  7. Haha no, thank you.

     

     

     

    You've been the first post I've seen in a long time here in General P2P that acctually consists of logical thinking, and not "Do you like..." threads.

     

     

     

    ::'

     

     

     

    Funny enough this is my 2nd actual post (only 22 total XD).

     

     

     

    I also based a science project on this a while back (of course not this thorough, it was maybe 8th grade; Im in 11th now) so I just figured Id share the info. Not sure if its in the right area though :P

  8. Wow great read loads of information in there, what grade did you get for this?

     

     

     

    Lol... Well not to brag but a 200/100 XD She let me be exempt from the semester final. (Still had to take the AP exam though :P It was a breeze)

     

     

     

    For those of you who dont have AP and are wondering what im talking about, the people who make the SAT/PSAT/ACT are called College Board. That company also makes exams for AP (advanced placement) courses. You take the exam and if you get a 3 or better (I believe it caps at 5?) you get a college credit for that subject. My teacher also makes a little exam just for our class like a regular end-of-year exam.

     

     

     

    Interesting find. Yes it is indeed very hard to quit.

     

     

     

    When I get angry I play shooting games and shoot some things.

     

     

     

    Lol, I do the same. I play the hitman series :)

     

     

     

    Thanks for both of your posts!

  9. I wonder how your dopamine levels go down. :-k Well I havn't played Runescape too much recently. I'd probably guess that your dopamine is made when you have the desire to do something. Lately I havn't had the desire to play Runescape.

     

     

     

    Thanks for the info. :)

     

     

     

    Well there are (I think they are glands) glands that secrete the dopamine. Those just release less depending on your positive or negative stimuli. Also, its not just the decrease of the dopamine but the receptors that register the effects can weaken or die. That is pretty much what depression is (but there are, of course, other factors).

     

     

     

    Its actually the other way around. If you see a computer, for example, the dopamine is produced which makes you want to play. So the dopamine causes the desire, not the other way around.

     

     

     

    The apathy towards Runescape could simply stem from the fact that you dont really care for it any more. That or you just dont want to play right now. Its not really an addiction, its more of an affinity or a like/dislike situation. If you dont like something, even if it produces dopamine you wont want to play it.

     

     

     

    Thanks for your post!

  10. Thanks again, hi XD

     

     

     

    Equal, Thanks for the compliment and im sorry to hear ya died... Play some more XD Get the dopamine flowing lol. It should help with the bad mood, take a break from RC though. Studies show that doing something with a negative connection attached to it is actually counter productive.

     

     

     

    :thumbsup: Good luck!
