at first it may seem like nice-guys finish last but if you think about it...if you're nice then you'll get other nice-guys on your friend list rather than other horrible guys and have other nice people on your friends is a good thing for example...lets say you do a favour for one of your friends say buy them something they need then sell it back to them, then later on in the future they might do the same for you, but if you had horrible friends then they would just try to borrow stuff and then scam you

Give a man a lighter, and he will be warm for a while.

Set a man on fire, and he will be warm for the rest of his life.

I value friends over pixels so I'm happy with being nice.

i like the saying "give a man a fish and feed him for a day teach him to fish, feed him for life"

 

 

 

I can Runescap-ify that...

 

 

 

"Give a man a fish, and he asks for more. Teach a man to fish and you can teleport while he's not looking."

How 'bout... "You give a guy a fish, and he knows where to go for fish. You teach him to fish, you just ruined your marketbase. What the hell is your problem?" :P

 

 

 

Or....

 

 

 

"You give someone a fish and they ask for a whip. Teach them how to fish and It'll be a waste, the guy on Tutorial Island tried and failed"

I agree totally, but still, there's no point in pointing out the obvious, we all know these thnigs happen and may never stop happening, there's just nothing that can be done. :-k :(

I try to be nice but not a pushover

 

 

 

I am not very naive but i am nice to people

 

Same here. That's the flaw with this ideology. You can be a really nice guy and still finish on top. I'm nice to people with help and everything but I rarely give anything out except to my rl friends. If anyone on rs asks for anything I politely turn them down, and I don't get into those situations where being naive messes you up. Just once - a sleep deprived 3mil scam 2 years ago. Oh well. :P

 

Anyways I'm rambling. Again, my point is, as long as you're smart about what you do, being nice has nothing to do with coming out at the bottom. In fact, you'll probably find that most of rs's billionaires are pretty nice guys. I've got a $B and I'm always there to help out. :)

Well in certain cases people can be too nice and will trust everyone which is why people need to help each other not get scammed and stuff like that, not to mention if you think that nice people finish last, then what happens to those who do get caught and banned they don't finish first and besides shouldn't it make you feel better to do the right thing instead of scam and cheat your way to the top, I mean you could get every good peice of armor by becoming a good scammer but what if you do it the hard way? By actually taking the time to get all the money and finding some to buy it from or killing alot of monsters to do so what I'm saying is that it feels alot better to finish ur goals by doing them right than cheating so even though nice guys finish last isn't it worth it at the end?

rule the seas is a cool mmorpg register through here: http://www.ruletheseas.com/index.php?r=50338

Its not about getting items from being nice, you cant expect that. Its about being a good moral person, and be respected for it.

 

 

 

One thing i can gurantee to you, nice guys do finish first in terms of respect.

nice guys may finish last, but its much better to be \'

you need to find the right spot of being nice and being a jerk

 

 

 

Light a man a fire, and he'll be warm through the night.

 

 

 

Light a man ON fire and he'll be warm the rest of his life.

My greatest ambition is to kill every member of the human race.

However I am a realist and therefore know that I probably wont be able to.

I could go on and on - but just check the post in my sig for my thoughts...

 

 

 

A clean conscience, scruples, and integrity go a long way in RS and in RL.

RSN: Greedom1 | QP 248+ | Combat 116 | Total 1920+ | Skills 95 craft, 99 farm, 88 herb, 91 mage, 85 slayer

Values? What do they mean?

yeah, I'm ussually quite nice, and tho i have some bad things happen to me...i also will come out ahead quite a few times.

 

 

 

Now at the same time, i find myself losing money all the time...i dunno...You see those lure clans getting rich all the time.

I would have to say in runescape nice guys definatly finish last I've lost around 12m to "friends"

s86.png

I know what you mean but it's not always the people you see being loud and abnoxious, recently i was scammed out of a whip by a very trusted friend. the worst is part of it was that he just got a purple phat from selling masks and i had known him for 5 months at least, gone to kbd with him and so many more things sometimes loseing a friend is worse than loseing pixels.

Just an average player with a horrible name...

Greed is part of human nature, everyone wants more and more cash/belongings/etc. Some people pick better/more polite methods of obtaining cash/belongings/etc more than others. That's life sadly. :S

Life is too short to care about the rat race. I'd rather enjoy the journey than worry about where exactly I'm finishing. There's more to life than that.

well i am nice but i am not gonna let my "friends" borrow my stuff for absolutly nothing. i hate it when people get lured and scammed those people get rich. sometimes they forget thier is a person behind the character.
