What would YOU do? (..after a great loss)

[Lunar_Drifter]

So now I propose a new kind of thread to you. This thread asks you what you would do in certain situations. It is asking what you personally would do, not what the popular opinion is or would be (unless you're opinion falls in with it). Perhaps once a day a new situation will be proposed and a new discussion will ensue.

 

 

 

6/20 Situation:

 

 

 

• *You're minding your own business, training a nice AFK skill, such as woocutting. Since you have a Party Hat, you decide to flaunt it and wear it while you train. As you do, a person comes up*

 

 

 

You: Hey, how are you?

 

Other: Good, how about yourself?

 

You: Pretty good.

 

Other: Wow, nice party hat!

 

You: Thank you =P

 

Other: How'd you get it?

 

You: Oh, I just got it over time. You know.. skilling, merchanting.

 

Other: Ah, that's pretty cool.

 

• *You carry on a conversation with the other player, and become friends. After a while, he asks you if you'd like to talk on MSN*

 

You: Sure!

 

• *Seeing as you've known him for a while now, you can trust him. So you give him your MSN name and you two begin to talk*

 

You: So how're you doing today?

 

Other: Pretty good.

 

You: Oh hey, wait, I just got a Tree Spirit random.

 

• *Today you're woodcutting and you get a random. But this is where it all changes. The new "friend" begins to spam your MSN with random messages,which causes your computer to freeze up. You try what you can to fix it, but nothing works. You're still fighting the tree spirit, too.
   
  When you get everything fixed and log back in, you find yourself in Lumbridge with your axe and two magic logs.*

 

You: OMG!!! He scammed me!!!!

 

• *The other player deletes you from his friends list and from his MSN and never talks to you again. You're crushed about the loss of your party hat.*

 

 

 

[hide=Previous Situations]6/19 Situation:

 

 

 

• *You are mining in a nice area with rocks close together for your convenience. Another player comes up and starts mining the same rocks*

 

You: Is that necessary?

 

Other: Yes..

 

You: I was here before you.

 

Other:So, these rocks don't have your name on them.

 

You:No, but could you hop worlds please?

 

Other:No noob.

 

• *Other Player continues to mine the same rocks as you, get 3/4 of the ores*
   
  *You, on inspection of his mining level, see that he's 5 levels higher than yours*

[/hide]

 

 

 

Now, the decision of what to do is up to you. Please, in your post include what you would do and why you would do that. If you agree with someone else, then you may post that, but try to explain why. And if you disagree, post why you disagree and what you would do in this situation.

 

 

 

Thanks and have fun!

ive had to come arcoss these situations since january 2001.

 

 

 

to be honest now i just ignore whoever the "others" are unless they are friendly or a friend. because after the years of battling for resources it has come to the point where it doesnt matter if your mining my rock...or cutting my tree... 75% of the time im going to the the resources faster then the people who seem to be shadowing my runescapers footsteps.

 

 

 

now if were at magics and hes 99 wc....im probably going to tell him to piss off and switch worlds because once my skills are obsolete to the other player...we all know what thats like.

[Goldenjkered]

I would scowl at the player, but then world hop, digusted at the other player :D

[aoe325]

I would outmine him, mine every single ore before he has a chance to do it. The 3/4 part was just luck because +5 is far from a big advantage in mining. Clicking skills and timing are way more important and I know I can beat him. I will make him fail so often he will get mad and change worlds (after calling me noob, of course)

 

 

 

Off-Topic : I think this should go in games :o

[blacksimon]

I would make a topic in a random fansite's forum about it.

[Lunar_Drifter]

I asked a Moderator where this would go and explained my reasoning and whatnot. I figured that if I were to put this in the Forum Games, then it wouldn't get the type of serious responses that I wanted. It's less of a game than it is a situational-response.

 

 

 

And thanks all, these are the types of posts I was looking for! :D

 

 

 

*EDIT* Except for blacksimon. If you don't have anything constructive and that relates to the topic at hand, then don't post.

That was funny.

 

 

 

I'd just switch worlds, there's no point in fighting over a resource.

Ooooh yes there is, Mining (For long periods oftime) is the ultimate boredom, when you get a chance to get into a mining fight you jump on it! :XD:

I haven't mined in years, so I wouldn't know :P

[kemikalkadet]

Oo this happened to me many a time while going for 85 mining. especially as i was f2p at the time. every time it happened i would stand my ground and continue to mine knowing that i had the spawn times for that world memorised. i can out-click anyone to an iron ore \

[Lunar_Drifter]

Heh.. mining fights definitely do spice up the monotony of mining. It always got me more alert and clicking faster when I saw someone coming for my ores. Most of the time I would look up their mining level. Most of the time, it was 10 or more levels higher than mine. I still tried to fight for the resources most of the time, but if I wasn't getting the ore more than 4/5 the time, I usually would ask them how long they were planning on mining. If they were there first, I'd usually hop worlds. If I was there first, I'd ask them to hop worlds or find another spot, and suggest to them a good spot/world. Courtesy usually goes a long way.

[Jabuli]

i usually hop myself. Don't want to waste my time.

[Joes_So_Cool]

I'd just world change.

[rareghoul1]

despite my low mining level, 56, i usually beat everyone at mining ores, except for mithril. of course, iron is pretty easy to win if you're really paying attention. when i mine coal it's just luck. i would stay there depending on how much ore i get and what i'm mining. if it's iron, i'll stay, but if it's coal and i'm not getting much i'll go. of course, i'm usually mining gold, coal, and mithril in the dwarven mine and not just one thing.

[berbatovsky]

I always fight for the rocks, say im wanting to mine gold at the crafting guild (random example) ill go to the guild and if anyones there ill switch worlds, ill keep switching untill the rocks are free. Then i will mine and mine, some chappy arrives and starts mining the rocks i'll ask them to leave politely, then usually explain to them why i want them to leave. Usually they dont leave and call you a noob, at this point i will not leave before them, i will mine every rock they are mining even if there are free rocks at the time. As a couple of people have said it adds some excitement to mining.

its ultimate boredom?

 

i mined 5 months non stop and didn't get bored than like 4 times.. :-k :-s

 

 

 

But yea, i'd hop worlds

[NightHawK]

This is posted in General P2P and iv only seen this in F2P. But i havnt done a lot of mining in P2P so im not to clear on that

[Lunar_Drifter]

I mined at Yanille mine from 31-60 mining, and this happened countless times to me. There will also be more situations later that deal with solely P2P things.

[Ryuuka]

i would ask one of my 99 mining friends to come and play "stupid miner nr. 2" then when the person hopped because he didn't get anything my friend would leave use this all the time

[Jeffery]

one reason i got one of the offences on my accounts lets say, he got all the names under the sun :twisted: O:)

Try and powermine in the desert for months..

 

 

 

on topic : Lunar Drifter, if you plan on making more of these you should change your topic name to something like : What would YOU do? - Mining

[Lunar_Drifter]

I'll change it when the time comes.

[The_Dragon_Reborn]

To be honest, I would just stay there and completely ignore him. I do that while hunting and I've never had someone attempt to stay at the same place as me for more then 5 minutes without him hopping.

[dorington]

I'd ask him why I'm a noob and go from there, laughing at how stupid his replies will be. Sometimes this cause the guy to world hop. Wait for him to strike first blood though as it will give you a better position to argue with him

[BBC3]

id tell him this isnt woodcut or fishing and spam lols each time i get an ore
