"Although very few people do this now, you can use the cracker on another player and pop it. One character would get a party hat of random colour, another would get a gift such as rune bars or runes."

 

As far as my memory serves me this is incorrect. Both players recieved an item. Who recieved the party hat is probably random.

My understanding is that the person who had the cracker got a partyhat, and the other person got a random item.

Jagex have at least confirmed that the one holding the cracker always gets a partyhat after the release of anti-rwt measures. otherwise pulling crackers had a chance of being the best method for rwt in existence.

Yes, but I think that originally it was random. Also when I opened my cracker in 2001 i recieved a gold party hat AND a gold ore. That's why the original statement is incorrect

That may be how it originally was, but from everyone's memory that I've talked to, how it's in our database is how it is. Unless you can get some personal confirmation, I'm going to leave it as it. Thanks for the submission, though!
