tripsis Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Time for a new release of the: >>>Tip.It Times!<<< WRITE FOR THE TIMES - SUBMIT A GUEST ARTICLE: Remember, YOU can write an article for the Tip.It Times! You can apply to write full time, or just submit a "one-off" guest article any time you want! Our editors will work with you to ensure that your article is ready for publication. All guest articles can be submitted to @tripsis or any other Editorial Panel member. For more information, including details on how to apply full time, read this forum thread: http://forum.tip.it/topic/209138-how-to-write-for-the-tipit-times/ I'd like to remind people of the rules pertaining to Times threads: [hide=Read these rules before posting in this thread] Rampant flame wars have taken control of virtually every week's times discussion topics. The following guidelines must be followed when posting on this topic. Posts that ignore these guidelines will be removed. 1. You are invited and welcome to express like or dislike on articles and a particular author's writing style. It is not acceptable, however, to flame or personally insult an author. Posts that aren't anything but an attack will be removed from the topic. 2. Spelling and grammar errors can be reported to tripsis by PMing her and they will be fixed promptly. It is not necessary to post them on the discussion topic. 3. Off topic posts that do not discuss the content of that week's articles will be removed. This is not the place to discuss the direction of the times, how much you love or hate the times, etc. Off topic posts will be removed. By keeping within these guidelines, Times discussion topics will mean more for the Panel and Administration than just a place for flame wars. Flame wars do not provide any useful feedback to the Times, which is mainly what we're aiming for with these topics: feedback. This policy is effective as of now, November 17, 2010. Any posts prior to the creation of this policy may or may not be removed according to the new guidelines.[/hide] [hide=Submitting Crossword Puzzles]If you want to submit your own crossword puzzle, it's quite simple. Simply provide a word list (about 10-20 words) with their corresponding clues. Then, message @The Floating Pen with the word list and it will eventually be published in the Tip.it Times![/hide] When replying please make sure to clarify the article you are replying to! Thanks! If you spot any typos or mistakes in an article then please PM them to @tripsis. :) Enjoy the articles! - 99 fletching | 99 thieving | 99 construction | 99 herblore | 99 smithing | 99 woodcutting - - 99 runecrafting - 99 prayer - 125 combat - 95 farming - - Blog - DeviantART - Book Reviews & Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ammako Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Hmmm the new articles seem to be unexistent at the moment. Or at least it automatically redirects me to January 5th ones. (Also we're back in December? \:D/ Christmas again!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaida23 Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 Thanks for the heads up. I'll have someone look into it. Edit: It's all set now. A big thank you to @tripsis for the quick fix. Go forth, fair readers, and enjoy your weekly serving of the goodness that is the Tip.It Times! :-D 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...

Maybe we should have made a contest: Everyone write their own reasons and the best ones get published in the next article.Why do I get these ideas when its too late...

Ammako Posted January 13, 2014 Share Posted January 13, 2014 All my reasons have already been said in the current articles, really. RuneScape is the only MMO that has actual *quests* that aren't just "Go there, fetch 5 of X, kill 10 of Y, come back for GP." Many of the quests have really enjoyables storylines that only leave you wanting more once you finish the last quest in a series and realize that the storyline is over. Also, I really like how every piece of equipment changes the way your character looks. In some other games, equipment barely changes the look of your character, while in others you just have tons of equipment that re-use the same models but with slight modifications. In RuneScape, very few pieces of equipment re-use the same models, so everything you wear or wield makes your character look way different. Having access to all the skills and classes instead of being limited to just one class and just one profession, etc. etc. The music is pretty darn epic as well, and the afk-bility of most skills means you don't have to sacrifice your time to level up, since you can let your character level up by him/herself while you do something else on the side, like studying, doing homework, playing another game, reading, etc. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
