Runescape in Class

[Joooely]

I don't know anyone irl that plays rs, I have no problem with mentioning it to people thought if the subject ever arose and it'd be cool to meet other people that play. I don't understand why you'd be labelled a geek if you play a fun game. :?

[gameboypen]

:shock: Wow, just wow. I would've thought I was hearing things too. And if that happened in my Maths class my classmates would view him as more lame. :-w

[Italian5kamikaze]

My computer literacy teacher automines.

 

 

 

I was watching his main computer when i sat behind him and it would go through showing everyone elses computer screen so he could make sure they were on task and it showed his personal computer and i saw runescape so i waited for it to pop up again and sure enough it was and he was automining coal. :XD:

[SanFranciscoGiants]

Haha no, no one but me in that class plays it. And I would NEVER talk about RS in school.

 

 

 

The first rule of fight club: Never talk about Fight Club.

 

 

 

LMAO, haha love that movie.

 

 

 

Anyways, its social suicide to mention runescape in a high school/college, and while i HONESTLY am a completely normal guy (friends, good grades, football and golf in school, snowboards, ladies man, etc.), i dont think ANYONE knows that i play runescape, excluding some kid that moved 3 states away from me a few years ago, but i think he'll keep the secret seeing as no one talks to him from my town anymore :XD:

 

 

 

 

 

Funny, I'm on the snowboard team, and varsity baseball team, lots of friends, etc. but nobody cares I play, and I'll tell anyone :? .

Lmao, that's a publishable horror story.

[Skul_Lord1]

You should just bring the subject up one day,for all you know, he could be quite a well known player.

 

 

 

I can see the faces of the other people in your class

 

 

 

Probably like this

 

 

 

:? and :shock: and :-s oh and :anxious:

 

 

 

Oh and you teacher should do this on the subject :-#

[Skul_Lord1]

if you said "runescape" at my school, seeing that 90% of the population there are huge rednecks, they'd be like "whats that", me: "a computer game online", "eh!? oh one of those thinga-ma-gigers mrs clark got on her desk? a compooter?"

 

 

 

dead serious.... some people drive TRACTORS to school.... :XD:

 

 

 

anyway,

 

thats a funny story, i'd never expect that from any of my teachers

 

 

 

Rofl Sigged : well the bolded part anyway, sig was too big

[SwreeTak]

Can I have some of your class?

 

Me too pl0x?

 

Wow, I wish my teachers were like that. Well, actually, I have got a very funny physiqs teacher in my school. I'm going the first year in "Gymnasiet", which is like high college. He's a guy who could play RS, but I doubt that he does it.

[doomy]

I find this story hard to believe :?

 

A teacher wouldn't give odds of something they would have thought nobody would know about...

 

 

 

If its true though, weird :P

[ortsu]

I dont try to hide the fact that i play runescape, if even my fiancee was ok with it, then i dont see why i should be embarassed for playing a really good game. Ok, it is a java game, and no its not as good looking as wow, but i really dont care. My friends, whose age range is between 20-40, havent had anything bad to say about it. I even got one of my friends to try the game after he had chuckled a bit to me because of rs, and guess whose playing it now. (and he is hiding the fact that he plays from hes friends :D )

[samurai_lassie]

At my primary school when a few real life mates played we were looking up Tip.It for something along the lines of seeing how good mithril was and at that time we had a replacement teacher and she said she played it for a while and was level 70 we were speechless taking into consideration we were like 40s at the time.

 

 

 

On that note a lot of people at my current school play, mostly at lunch times sitting around lumbridge i so happened to log in to make sure my herbs had not gotten diseased because i forgot to use supercomost in the morning and I had a kid ask to fight in the wildrness with my santa hat on and he would "own" me .

 

 

 

I have been where most can only imagine, what those brainless incapable Runescape players are like in real life :D, turns out they talk pretty much as dumb as they do in the game .

[Mementh]

I have a friend @ work who plays.. and there is another who i don't talk to much who also plays..

 

 

 

 

 

Two from my old job plays.. one of them is a lvl 99 ifsher

[Xx_Flare_xX]

Well today I got one of the biggest surprises and laughs in school that I've ever had.

 

 

 

I'm a senior in a smallER high school in Wisconsin. It's Fourth hour in my probability and statistics class, right before lunch. Of course we're talking about the probability of something happening in a certain situation.

 

 

 

The teacher is going over examples such as the odds of pulling a certain kind of baseball card out of a pack, getting hit on your way to the airport, and so on and so on. I was about 2 seconds away from falling asleep right in my desk when I hear the words "Dust Devil". I thought he was referring to the vacuum...but of course being the avid player I am, I immediately got a chuckle out of it. Then right after "Dust Devil" was said he said "The odds of getting a Dragon Chain from this animal is one in so many thousand kills". Everyone else in my class was pretty much oblivious to the whole situation but I about dropped my jaw right onto the floor.

 

 

 

My teacher, my tennis coach, and father of a member of my buddy on our drumline plays runescape. He's getting close to 45 or 50 and I could NOT believe it.

 

 

 

I just thought I would share the story with you all and I'm assuming there's a few other stories like this out there!

 

:

 

 

 

I ROFLED at this bit :XD:

[Michigander]

According to some "friends" that i used to play rs with and they quit I am now a nerd :? :evil: :shame: lol and yes talking about rs at school for me would = not good, most people dont know i still play it :wink:

[The Observer]

I would never mention RuneScape in real life. They label me as a nerd and a geek if I do that. Even when I don't bring it up they do it. I'm scared that I'm going to end up throwing a desk at them. :uhh: It's all because my friend that played it quit because he got scammed, he starts attacking me about it. :roll:

[Omali]

Where I live, you can't mention it to anyone without being slammed for "Omg dat game sux" and "lol nerd". Same thing from the people I talk to on Ventrilo, but luckily I've managed to convince them almost fully that I don't play anymore :-w .

[ViolaWoman]

Wow, I just had to add to this; what a great story. I can actually believe your Statistics and Probabilities teacher came up with an odd example to illustrate the mathematical probability; mine did the same when I was in College. Only thing is, back in the early 90s, he used Poker and dice as the models. I don't think RS was around then.

 

 

 

Having said that, my husband and I are in our 50s and we both play RS. We have several friends and clan members who are in their 40s and 50s. I work from home and I free-lance as a professional violist around Florida. If I ever mentioned I play RS to any of my musician colleagues, they would have no idea what in hell I was talking about.

 

 

 

I also work from home supporting customers and the company I work for is very diverse. Everyone I work with works from a home office and we're all in different states. Me fellow employees range in age from their 20s to their 60s, so it's a pretty broad group. We're all pretty computer savvy, too. We have a company website that's the equivalent of the "water cooler" and just last week, while I was browsing their forums, I came across a thread for WoW players, so naturally, I started up a thread for RS players. Hmm, seems there are quite a FEW of us elderly (jk) folks who play either RS or WoW and so now, of course, there's a rivalry of sorts... at my WORK, for God's Sake! :XD:

[atronic92]

That's a funny story. :XD: I wish I had a teacher that played RS, but then I might hear:

 

 

 

me: "Are we getting our tests back today?"

 

teacher (tired): "No, I stayed up later power fishing to 99 so I didn't have time to grade them."

 

me: -.-

 

 

 

I only have a few friends that I can talk to at school that play RS, and only one of them I actually talk to a lot. We have to use a sort of code. I check for updates in the morning and he will say "uUpdate?" Then I try to say in as few words as possible either "no" or what the update is, usually while someone watches us, and then asks us what we are talking about, to which we reply, "Nothing." ...:?

 

 

 

On the other hand, a lot of the "cool" people at my school play WoW, but don't want to tell anyone so they will ask you if you play "popo".

[24_7_ko]

Umm, my school is full of people who play -

 

 

 

1. Runescape ( me and alot of others )

 

2. WoW ( me and a few others )

 

3. Eq2 ( me alone :( )

 

4. CABAL Online (i just started with 4 others at school ( cause it's free and like WoW )

 

5.Dragonfable ( Nearly the entire population of boys in my year play this ( They also hack into it with Cheat Machine 5.3 - Mod can edit that out if they want to :D )

 

 

 

I only discovered this when i went to computer club to do my homework ( which was due in next lesson XD ( A project too ) And i saw atleast 8 screens of runescape :o - Even our science lab guy play's it, i was watchin a film in school and he had his laptop out playing runescape -- He's 99 smithin too :o

[Embraced]

I was once in a swimming pool changing room and there was a group of kids, around 5 of them, a few years younger than me. And i could over hear their conversation and what they were saying seemed so familiar. Then i just popped the question ' You talking about Runescape' ? Indeed they were but they just asked me if i could give them stuff.

 

I never added their rsn. \

[Poopingman]

Wow, thats hilarious, I would be shocked as well, haha.

[omirzan]

people in my schoool that play rs are branded as geeks... it's sad how society does that to people. :cry:

[Poopingman]

Back when I was in 8th grade (2001) and we first found Runescape, we had the entire computer class playing it. Great times.

[pkinyou]

Wow guys, idk what school you guys go to, but at my school i talk about it alot and everyones like Ooo what is it, and i say. Its not like im shunned or sumthing for talking about it.. But tbh, most people at my school play W.O.W, and quite often we get in arguments about..
