The Dark Lord

As far as I'm aware, smooth_sc is a clan with lax rules (ran by same people as fast_sc). You are allowed to wear armor in smooth_sc, but fast_sc doesn't allow you to do so (it is stricter, but safer). Fast_Sc would easily have 40 players at any one time. However, most players should be on one team, and the other team will consist of high levels that are trusted (so they can kill any crashers). I always bring barrages in case some idiot wants to crash the clan, though. You'll probably have at least one crasher per day, but they are swiftly dealt with. Occasionally, the PKers will be good (and organized), and they will disrupt a game, but it's also dealt with by the next game. Just be sure to call out clay locations, wear a bow by 18 minutes, do not wield arrows, do not wear armor, and do not PK. If you do all of the above, you should be fine. If not, then you'll probably get a warning and then a kick and an eventual permanent ban. Don't use Sc_Claymates. They are a lot stricter, and I heard that the leaders are prats.

Indian call centers really bother me, now that I think about them. You usually spend hours on tech support going over the most obvious things to check (which doesn't even really need tech support), only to find that they don't know what to do, and they claim that you need to get a new device. It's also really annoying when they can barely speak English.

The metal that scientists discovered over a decade ago seems to be light, ductile, and very conductive. When made into an alloy and hammered into a foil, the metal is hard to rip, and it is resistant to high temperatures. The exact rarity of this metal is unknown, but scientists are trying to artificially produce it. Defensive structures continue to be produced in the Kajea system. Tech support has been improved for Second Life. Basically, a person can summon the Tech Support during their simulated reality, which can be used either to change the scenario or to fix a glitch. In Second Life, the tech support appears as another human, which allows the person to interact easily with the program. Haven has possibly found the first Farland. Production of the Scion, Birthright, and Pax Britannica continues in Sega-Res. Eden has reached maximum expansion on Zhoreuc. Duna mining continues. Several more mining barges have been created. Several barges have returned to Ema-Quartus. Most of the DNA archiving has been completed. The tourism business has been expanded into space. Cruise ships have been created by private companies. These ships will take people on cruises in the Kajea and Sega-Res systems. Also, the airship tourism business has become increasingly popular.

That reminds me. We're supposed to hear more about the Eastern Lands this year (according to February BTS). If they give any more hints, it should be within the next 10 days. The background on the twitter page does look Easternish. There's a samurai on it. The hills in the background also look like some Asian landscape.

[kitty]. ---------- I like the Christmas suggestion.

You mean bisque-fired clay, right? When I'm in my pottery class, it always annoys the hell out of me when I'm glazing my clay after it's been fired the first time and my fingers rub against it. I usually have to slap the glaze on and quickly apply my two coats of glaze to it. When it comes out, the glaze feels so good against my skin because of the smooth, glassy texture.

I'm not saying that you're wrong, but how would eliminating the aging process cause healing to be slower? Couldn't cell reproduction still occur, just without the wear and tear from aging? Anyway, the "immortality" thing arises from my anti-aging drug that was co-researched with Rpg, which was based off of an already-existing drug that he had. Basically, we just improved the anti-aging drug and found a way to eliminate the side-effects (early death, etc). Because the anti-aging process was eliminated, the problems from the aging process (deterioration of organs) were eliminated. The only things that really cause death now are disease and natural disasters. Also, I didn't care much about the scientific aspect as much since most of the things in the game at the moment are impossible in real life anyway. As long as it seemed plausible and wasn't overpowered, I didn't think it was that big of a deal. The way people age is when cells reproduce, they do so quickly, and occasionally errors are made. Let's say you have a cell that's AAAAA. It duplicates, but messes up, and now there are two AABAA cells. All the cells that come from those cells will all have the same mutation. Eventually, there will be enough mutation that it has bad effects. The older you are, the more likely you are to have the bad effects since there has been more time for error. Anyway, by slowing down the cell duplication process by a largeish amount you can prevent most of the mutations from happening, but that also means that the body heals slower, is more affected by illness, etc. Hmm. My drug does prevent the mutations, yes, but it's also designed to keep cell production going at about the same rate. Are we talking about "bubble-boy" type stuff here?

[hide=][/hide] Here is a view from space of a terraformed Mars, for your viewing pleasure. I'm not saying that you're wrong, but how would eliminating the aging process cause healing to be slower?

In French, it's "spatule". ... (Assuming from your location that French is your first language since you seem to be implying that English isn't your first language.)

That's why we use common sense. Under that system, the aforementioned (big mind-[bleep] for you, I know) wouldn't happen.

Wouldn't it have been better to avoid melee attacks by standing away and pray something else? You have to melee her if she turns a certain color. Still, it wouldn't be a bad idea to stand a few spaces back, pray range/mage, and attack her with the necessary spells/type of attack. When you have to melee her, get Balmung and move in close quarters for a few seconds, then take a step back. Of course, she probably will follow you back unless there's a safe spot.

This is the layout of Elysia. Just as the Founders of the American Republic mapped out Washington with Masonic symbols, we have mapped out Elysia with the Symbol of the Immortal. Elysia is the "City of the Immortals". It is an awe-inspiring city. A giant, glass pyramid is being erected near the city's centre. It will be called the Temple of the Novus Ordo Seclorum (which is not necessarily for religious purposes).

Damn. I wish I could draw as well as you. :o

But can we transport it? We have the technology. We can create this world's first ozone layer. we can make it safer, stronger, hotter. --- In other news, an astronaut has been injured while he was horse-playing in a space station. Surgeons on Britanniae are trying to keep him alive. "Steve Austin, astronaut. A man barely alive. Gentlemen, we can rebuild him. We have the technology. We have the capability to build the world's first bionic man. Steve Austin will be that man. Better than he was before. Better, stronger, faster." This endeavour will cost six million dollars. ---- The popularity of Second Life is soaring. With the Second Life headset, nightmares are nonexistent. With people now able to never age, organs don't deteriorate. Theoretically, everyone who has taken the new drugs are immortal, but diseases still cause deaths. Therefore, people don't actually live forever, but they have significantly greater lifespans and never age. This has led people to pursue sexual fantasies due to their eternal youthfulness. With Second Life thrown into the mix, my people can live whichever kind of life that they want. They can be rulers of the world. They can be God. They can be whatever they like. The downside is that some people have furr-tastic fantasies within their Second Life, which is pretty creepy. Regardless, I can safely say that my people reside within one of the most happiest nations to have ever existed. Also, test scores have risen dramatically, thanks to the intelligence and cognition drugs. The suicide rate is almost nonexistent since suicidal patients that can't be treated are seeking the benefits from Second Life. This is also due in part to the White Trees that are scattered throughout major cities. More cities are being planned for Kajea and Gaia. In fifty years, we plan to have the Three Realms of the Britannian Empire to be fully developed (for now, at least). Work continues to be done on the Federation realms (Wet Realms). The mermaids have been transported to the planet, and infrastructure is being improved. A map of Eden has been sent to the Kaminoan government. It is currently awaiting recognition. --- For what it's worth, quit trying to destroy the game, please. I know at least a couple people are still playing. I'll also play with whoever still wants to play, but I'm not sure how active I'll be on Aeroika anyway. I think I'm going to be more active in Kingdoms, to be honest. --- I can't access Hegepedia for some reason. Anyway, here are some definitions for the terms that I use: -Realm: Britannian earth-like world (full control over a planet) -Second Life: The simulated reality software that is used for a variety of purposes by residents of the Britannian Empire. -Haven: Oversees the Second Life and Ark programmes -Ark: A type of colony vessel that is used by the Britannian government; they are designed for rapid emergency evacuation -Farland: Term used for safehouse planets that are discovered by Haven as part of the Ark programme -Eden: Britannian colony on Zhoreuc; also a name for the continent on which the colony is located -Wet Realms: Aquatic worlds owned by the Britannian government

why you move it?? its just a blog input.... Hmm. You might want to change your title to "l3v3l's blog" or something along that line and PM a mod and ask them to move it for you (to blogscape). The first mod didn't even move it to the right area, so... Anyway, that's a pretty nice level 1 clue. :)

Yes, it is. :P Personally, I just started the quest, kicked some [wagon], got the axe, and left. I didn't care about finishing the quest so much (for today anyway). I just wanted the axe.

The fairy ring on Mudskipper Point (south of the dwarf from the Knight's Sword quest) isn't too far away from the chapel that is due north of the dwarf from the Knight's Sword. I'm not really sure about any others, to be honest.

0/10. Would've rated you higher if you at least got a 3A melee platebody in your clue. You're not going to get a decent rating unless you have 2000+ total, 99 slayer, and 99 herblore, as well as a 1B+ bank. Just sayin'. You're not a real man unless you have all that stuff. GTFO. Just [cabbage]ting you, but that's really how most people in this subforum act. :P

I hate it when people do that in the hallways of my school. I'm trying to get to a class, and then all of a sudden, this Freshman dumb [wagon] stops in front of me, twirls around in a dainty fashion, and starts shouting at her friend across the hallway. It makes me want to punch them in the mouth and bloody them the [bleep] up. Then you have some Bro walking in front of you with both arms around these two women and trying to act cool. They walk incredibly slow, and since they have 3 people side-by-side, it's impossible to go around them. [bleep]ing [developmentally delayed]s. Then, the same people that do that will try to push you out of the way because suddenly they're in a hurry. The [bleep]? EDIT: Just realized that I still have a faint scar from when some kid coming toward me refused to move a few inches and ended up scratching my wrist with her binder. =\ --- I hate scraping with my nails against paper, and I hate chalk. I also hate most rap music. It really bothers the hell out of me. I hate it when my leg touches someone else's leg when they sit down by me. I don't know why.

I pull out a four-foot wide axe and slice TTan in half, diagonally.

The Battle of Rellekka was pretty fun when I used ice barrage on the dagganoths. It's also hilarious that I got bored with my character and changed it into a female. When I talked to Princess Astrid on the longboat after the battle, she said "Oh, how I wish you were still a man! *sad face*".

Yup, you can use Mangled Bones for a pyreship. Doing so however will guarantee you a 100% spawn of a hostile, strong barbarian spirit. It's a hell of a lot faster than waiting for a Chewed Bones drop from a Mithril Dragon, though. That's what I did to complete my diary. There are at least 3 skeletons you can rummage on the first floor, I believe, so stock up on food and go have a field day :P Confused Barbarians (lvl 132) have a 100% drop rate for mangled bones. It's a lot quicker than getting an occasional chewed bones drop from mithril dragons. There's a safespot where brutal dragons can't attack you (and where there's a confused barbarian). It's in the middle of the caverns.

Thanks.

Okay. None of you answered my question. I didn't ask to be flamed because I was hoping for some summoning XP. Really, guys? I just need someone to try to bank their lamps after finishing the quest (if they don't mind) and tell me if they were able to do it or not.

Hey, are the XP lamps bankable? I want to do this quest, but I want to be able to bank the lamps and wait until Jagex *hopefully* allows us to use our 450k experience on summoning.
