An unlikely theory on the bard skill rumors.

Featured Replies

(Please read the entire post before responding please...)

 

 

 

Ok, let me get this out of the way before reading on...

 

I DO NOT NECISSARILY BELIEVE THIS TO BE TRUE, IT IS JUST A STUPID POSSIBILITY... considering Jagex probably popped these numbers and names off of the top of their head right before making the postbag from the hedge.

 

 

 

Ok, as many people have read by now there is a rumor among the forum that a possible bard skill could be release do to a message saying "Look out for other musical updates later this month." or something along those lines. People believe that this is a sign for a bard skill because the month construction was released the main hint was that we would be able to sit in chairs.

 

 

 

Well... with the end of July being yesterday a lot of people have believed that the possibility of the skill coming out soon is unlikely... But during some spare time I read through the postbag from the hedge and an idea struck me...

 

 

 

"What if they meant this by the months of Runescape?"

 

 

 

A letter to Reldo was sent in this edition of the postbag from the hedge asking how the Runescape calender was arranged... *go take a look if you want to confirm or disprove the numbers I found*

 

 

 

Although I myself find this very unlikely as will most of you, I would just like to point out some things I found out.

 

 

 

-Both the Runescape Calender and The Real Calender have 365 days...

 

-As of today, (August 1st) we are on the 213th day of the year...

 

-Assuming that the real life calender and the Runescape calender are on the same day but with a different month system, then Runescape is currently in the month of Fentuary...

 

-The start of Fentuary is the 181st day of the year, and the update message that is being used to support a bard skill was released on the 184th day of the year.

 

-Although July is over, Fentuary does not end until the 219th day of the year...

 

 

 

Perhaps the release of a bard skill is still possible if Jagex is trying to mess with us and use Runescape months instead of real months? I realize that that issue of the postbag from the hedge was not released until yesterday, but who knows how long they spend before hand preparing it? Maybe they saved this letter for this specific moment just to mess with us? Maybe I'm a schizophrenic dolphin covered in applesauce? Maybe zaros is really zamorak?... we do not know... But these are possiblities at hand... stupid possibilities... Jagex may be trying to mess with us on an EPIC level...

If you read the entire thing... be proud... and post your opinion.

 

NO FLAMING

 

NO CALLING ME AN IDIOT

 

NO POSTING IF YOU HAVEN'T READ THE ENTIRE THEORY

 

...

 

BUT PLEASE POST IF YOU FIND ANY ERROR WITHIN THE MATH I DID

 

(That would be very helpful)

IDIOT!!!!

 

 

 

Whats your point?

I dunno if I'm allowed to post, I couldn't find the theory. :mrgreen:

 

I fail to see what sitting in chairs has to do with the bard skill. I also fail to see what Runescape months has to do with the release of such a skill. And either I'm bad at math, or someone else is, but I fail to see what all these random numbers has to do with being an apple sauce-coated psychotic dolphin. :-k

Life is a joke. Yeah, I don't get it either.

I actually do see the evidence of this... This could be true, but it is unlikely... You're making Jagex out to be more than they really are

That's what it takes to be a hero, a little gem

of innocence inside of you that makes you want

to believe that there still exists a right and wrong,

that decency will somehow triumph in the end.

--Lise Hand

I read the whole stuff, and the only comment I can give to this is: Perhaps you have played RS to much?

 

When Jagex have been talking about months, weeks or days they have always meant irl ones. Or atleast as long as I have been around, which is quite a while. So why would they suddenly start speaking of the months in the game, instead of those irl ones? And don't say it's because someone have asked about the month system in the postbag.

 

Just ignore that stupid rumour going around, and do something useful in the game instead of posting uneccessarily topics like this one.

 

Sorry for giving you such a bad response.

Add me if you so wish: SwreeTak

Funny thing you found there :P

 

But I really dont think jagex is going by the runescape months here, they never have :P

 

 

 

And musicl updates? That means improvement and that guide of where you can get each tune they were talking about, they've done musical updates before, when they moved the midi instrument source from the ones everyone has in their pc to anonline source on runescape.com so it would be the same for everyone.

 

 

 

Furthermore, I wouldnt want to have a bard skill :/

I don't think it'll happen, but...you're so cool for making this <3:

catch it now so you can like it before it went so mainstream

It actually does make sence but I dont really see a bard skill happening.. It could be useful but I dont really see them releasing that.

Well, bards sing and play instruments.

 

Logically the bard skill involves hunting kittens.

Just to respond to the people saying that I wasted a lot of time doing this...

 

 

 

this took like 5 minutes while I was killing experiments... so It's not like I've got too in depth. And yes, if you read above I said that this is incredibly unlikely... So it's not like I'm saying! OMG ITS GUNNA BE NEW SKILL GET READY!... I was more or less pointing out a coincidence.

 

 

 

Oh, and I do agree with a lot of people... bard skill, no matter what abilites it would give... seems kind of lame.

If bard skill is released, i quit. simple as that

99 Fletching 99 Attack 99 Constitution 99 Cooking 99 Strength

Gamertag: H8tebringer

This could all be coincidence or you're right.

 

 

 

But, I'm gonna have to disagree, i can't see Jagex releasing a bard skill, i mean its kind of silly imo.

 

 

 

If they do release it, unless its very quick and easy to level I'll be keeping it at lvl 1 because its a waste of time otherwise, id much rather spend my time training slayer or runecrafting.

.....no.

Nice theory, they seem to be focusing on the game's music a lot now.

Wouldn't that be the Music Guide, or did they release that before July?

Ah, this reminds me about the noob on the Runescape forums who was upset with the quest "Cold War" because apparently his grandparents died in the war. :wall:

Hopefully they don't release a "bard" skill. How lame.

 

 

 

Am I going to have to whittle a log into a clarinet to practice playing my instrument that no one can hear?

 

 

 

If they made it so you could play music whenever you wanted and other people could hear it, you'd turn your sound off a lot/permanently. (if you don't have it off already...)

 

 

 

That'd be annoying real quick.

 

Maybe once I get to level 3 I can play Mary had a little lamb.
