August 25, 201312 yr Thats crazy....... Semi ironic as someone made a comment (I think on this thread) about people dying from too much no lifing....
August 25, 201312 yr The heart issue is an underlying problem unrelated to the nolifing, was actually a stroke of luck that he had the paramedic check him out for the pain he had due to the nolifing (which was minor and harmless) and discover what appears to have been a long term irregularity. Asmodean <3
August 25, 201312 yr So nolifing could have actually saved his life? Mind = blown. :lol: Seriously though, it's good to hear he'll be okay. I'd hate for RuneScape to become one of those games where someone died nolifing it. That, and 'Scapers are awesome and deserve to be immortal. :P Check out my blog to read the Adventures of a Big Damn (F2P) Hero. THE place for all free players to connect, hang out and talk about how awesome it is to be F2P. So, Kaida is the real version of every fictional science-badass? That explains a lot, actually...

August 25, 201312 yr Apparently, when first starting to siphon an enriched spring, if you have a normal memory in your inventory it gets converted to an enriched and also extends the lifetime of the spring. It only seems to work the first time you siphon the enriched from the time it spawns, and only converts one memory. Not true, it works only for the first 4 people. The enriched spring is using them to prolong the life of the sprin itself.I had my regular memory turned into an enriched memory when I was definitely not one of the first four people to siphon from it.
August 25, 201312 yr [bleep]ing idiot. Why would he think anything comes before his own health in that situation? I just don't even know where to begin with how irresponsible that attitude is. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
August 25, 201312 yr It'd be more irresponsible if he continued to play. He did not and he's now seeking medical treatment for whatever he's going through. It's probably just an arrhythmia which can now be managed easily.
August 25, 201312 yr He had to be forced to and even whinged at that. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
August 25, 201312 yr And how many times have we sat at home with a minor discomfort that we didn't get investigated by a doctor right away, for time constraints or money or other reasons? Is it bad that he waited as long as he did? Yes, but no moreso than the people terrified to go to the doctor for fear of medical bills or anything else. With this, maybe he'll learn his lesson. He's still relatively young and usually those lessons come with a much higher cost. Better that he pay now than later.
August 25, 201312 yr [bleep]ing idiot. Why would he think anything comes before his own health in that situation? I just don't even know where to begin with how irresponsible that attitude is.He thought he should get it checked out because he was no lifing so much. As it turns out, it wasn't caused by lack of sleep and exercise, but rather that it was a pre-existing condition. He did not push himself to the point where he sacrificed his health.
August 25, 201312 yr I'm sorry Hedgehog, but what you and Fallstar are doing by misrepresenting the argument to defend "safe" nolifing is wrong. That's not the point being made. Any person who claims, without medical facts, that a lack of sleep caused the heart symptoms is wrong to do so. There's no evidence of that. However, I'm absolutely within my limit to criticize someone who suffers sharp chest pains, and waits over a day before deciding to get it referred, because they decided getting level 99 first was a higher priority. Sharp chest pain is a symptom of conditions far worse than a benign cardiac arrhythmia, anyone with common sense knows that. I'd level exactly the same criticism to a footballer playing on a fractured leg, or a type 2 diabetic going on the Atkins diet. They're brainless decisions, they're idiots, and it is irresponsible. Fine, I respect your right to make a choice, but at least let's all admit it's a bloody awful one from a health point of view, which is the only point of view that ultimately matters when all things are considered. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
August 25, 201312 yr He didn't wait over a day to get it checked out. It happened over a day ago.He didn't stall anything to play RS.Overall, he handled it pretty well. The only thing you can find pathetic is that he's bummed that he has to waste xp to go to the hospital. No lifing didn't cause him to delay treatment, it didn't cause any problems. I'm not defending no lifing. I'm trying to get you to understand what actually happened.
August 25, 201312 yr I think you missed the irony, Ginger. Of course he's complaining at being made to do the test - should he be happy that he's going to do it? That doesn't mean he doesn't recognize the value of such a test, it's just a way to express annoyance at a (small, possible) heart problem right when he's racing to 99 Divination. Complaining about inevitable, clearly useful yet annoying things is just a thing you can do (this goes for a lot of medical things, but also things like cleaning/cooking/studying/whatever). You read his post far too negatively, to the point that I think you're quite prejudiced, perhaps because of his nolifing?

August 25, 201312 yr A sharp pain in your chest, you should be referring immediately. So he did wait 30 hours to play RuneScape before deciding to get treatment. He avoided quite normal, health-seeking behaviour because he was no-lifing. If you think I'm being "negative" and "prejudiced" about that, fine... I'll happily be prejudiced. Want to prove that's wrong of me? Well, get down to your local A&E tomorrow with a pop survey and see how many nurses and doctors there think that waiting 30 hours to refer yourself for sharp chest pain, so you can play RuneScape, is good idea. This is removing focus away from the original topic of the thread, which is the Divination skill, not a wider debate about no-lifing and its impact on personal health behaviour. If you want, split it off and we'll continue there. | Favourite Game Music | Last.fm | HYT Friend Chat Rules |
August 25, 201312 yr You're misinterpreting something he said because you just assume he only cares about the game.
August 25, 201312 yr I'm jut glad he received treatment when he did and hope he gets well fast. He was quick to realize that his pain was someone other than being related to staying up no lifing, and he sought medical attention to determine what the cause of his pain really is. Some people will go months or years with slight pain and never get it examined.
August 25, 201312 yr Is it worth to collect chronicle fragments? If you value hunter xp, absolutely. At low levels up to 80, also absolutely just for the divination xp. Beyond that I haven't checked so not sure. Try to only catch the ones that come close (ideally within 3 tiles) to you. I cba to go and tele anymore, so I just collect them for the hunter xp and destroy them when I have 10 in my inv. Also @ Richard's situation. His first forum post since the sof I think. How2rank1 with good grace, some people could do with taking a few lessons maybe. Asmodean <3

Correction the, the first who who has a non-enriched memory he/she could 'offer'. Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?'

August 25, 201312 yr I'll never understand how people could want to no life and sacrifice a huge part of their health (sleep) JUST to race to a 99 on a game. You'll be remembered for about a month, then no one will give two shits who you are anymore. me? I prefer sleeping for 10 hours and am in no rush for 99. Popoto.~<3
