A cry for help (Not exactly the Help+Advice kind of help)

Featured Replies

I have been playing Runescape for a long time, since March of 2002. I was young at that time and didn't have a lot of patience, so I leveled up my skills very slowly, eg. mining one load of iron at Falador and then switching to fishing at a river somewhere....... I also love to hoard money, and was determined to "work" for my experience by not buying any raw materials at all. As you can see, I wasn't exactly Runescape material, impatient, foolish and determined. So I did what many before me have done, I semi-quit, playing once or twice every month. After three years, as of mid-2005, my skill level was around 813 and I had remained f2p. But since last year, I've gotten better at raising my skills, I could actually sit for hours at the computer clicking at the same thing. While this isn't exactly an ablilty to boast of in the real world, it can be useful in Runescape. As of now, I have 917 skill points and I'm still f2p, which I consider as something of an achievment.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I soon discovered Scapeboard after I started and found it helpful, informative and going through the pages was most entertaining. Scapeboard gave me a strong feeling of community that I rarely see elsewhere. (but that has diminished somewhat now at Tip.It) I would look through the boards and the "You know you've been.........." threads were my favourite. However no one would remember me as I have never posted on Scapeboard, nor on Tip.It, as you can see from my post count. I don't like to speak out to the world, I just like to listen and learn.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well anyways, I really need to ask for help now. I'm about to have my A-Level exams in April and I really need to study. For those of you who don't know, A-Level exams in Hong Kong determine your university placing. My grades at this moment sucks. So I have decided to really take a break from Runescape. A complete break, as in ZERO Runescape tolerance. This is where you come in. I would very much appreciate it if those of you who read this would add my Runescape name to your friends' list and when ever you see me online, ask me for 10K. I will give it to you, I'll even switch worlds and personally deliver the 10k to you, wherever you might be. Hopefully this drastic action will deter me from playing. My private chat is always on and I promise that I'll never switch it off until my A-Level exams are over. 10k is not much for many of you and I realise that, but I hope that will be enough to buy a place on your friends' list.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My Runescape name is: Alan Ng

 

 

 

That's right, when I first started, it didn't occur to me to use a nickname and I typed my real name. I'll say it again, I'm not exactly Runescape material.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thank you very much, even if you don't decide to help, you still chose to read through all that and for that I am grateful.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: I forgot to say that I'll be coming back for one day around Easter for the Easter event, so I won't be giving money on that day. I'll determine the date when the event rolls around.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Edit: Ok, I'm back for the Easter event today! (Today as in Wednesday, 12th of April, 2006) I must say, going without runescape really does free up my day. Unfortunately, my grades still suck. My exams are half over, with 3 subjects gone already. Please don't ask for money from me today, thank you to all of you who really have put me on your friends' list and remembered to ask/demand me for the 10k.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Final edit: I'm FREE!!!! The exams are over! It's time to rejoice and celebrate til the end of time! It's time to do anything I want and not care about it! Oh yeah, it's also time for you people to get rid of my name and free up your friends' list. Thank you all of you who did add me. I'm proud to say that not one of you got a dime from me. I went for two months without Runescape and I survived! The legends are true! It's possible!

yes, definately take a break to study. school comes before games all the time. this seems like a good idea for you if you know that people begging for money will deter you from playing. ill add you to my list, but instead of begging for 10k, ill beg for 20k just to double motivate you :P

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

good luck on your exams. now go study!

I couldn't care less if he was Andrew Gower himself, I just don't like arrogant smegheads.

I don't understand it, why some people have so many problems to not play RuneScape when they have to study? I must say i maybe study less, but it's still enough for decent results. And if i can give you a good advice Alan, stop with RuneScape, if you now already have problems with the test to get into universtiy, what you think you'll do in universtiy? It's almost impossible to have a great life, a great runescape life (if you can call it a life) and good grades. I don't say it's impossible, but it's hard.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You to choose, you could also stay off the PC for a while or ask your dad to set a PSW on the site runescape...

How do we know that you're not just giving out the username of some guy who you really don't like, just to annoy him by getting a helluva lot of people to pm him begging for 10k?

I never thought of that. Sorry.

 

 

 

I was thinking along the lines of trust when I typed the above post. I'm just optimistic that way.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To answer your question, you don't. But you can choose not to add my/(the) name and thus keep yourself from annoying me/(him). But it's a bit too late now.

I'd think that most semi-intelligent people would realise as soon as the person complained they were annoying them or seemed confused.

 

 

 

Good luck. But remember, the first time you log on and turn off private chat, you may as well give up the whole thing.

I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose

Hopefully it won't be an issue because you won't be playing any Runescape until you've finished your exams, right? :) Good luck, I think this is a good idea, and I'll be adding you.

I'm back for the Easter update today! (Wednesday, 12th of April, 2006)

Alan, i am in the same boat as you, I too have A-level exams that determine placing in Uni, but I am in UK.

 

 

 

Yes, we need to study, but we can play without quitting the accounts. Just take a brake at 1 for an hour and 9 in the evening.

 

I have tried for a month it works!

Thank you everyone who added me, I am now officially free from the tranny of the education system in Hong Kong. You can all free up your friends' list now. My name is worthless once more.

Congrats, I hope you did well on your test.
