JUST ANOTHER DAY IN RUNESCAPE, ACE'S FASHION SHOW, MEMORIES

JUST ANOTHER DAY IN RUNESCAPE

We all know that there are certain limitations when "chatting" in RS. Sometimes, people just evaporate, mainly due to laggggg, less rarely when someone says something truly asinine. That is the cue for a flame war. This usually devolves into the time-worn exchange "You're Hitler!" and the ever-famous retort, "Fuck you!" Score, 0 to 0, go back to your corners, or find another world, and sometimes, flee to another chat.

So, we re-materialize into another world and might see something like this:

Ace is certainly colorful with his word choices...

Stuff like this goes on all the time in Runescape, which is one of the reasons why I've seen it designated as a "social" website, over an MMORPG, based on the old dungeon MUD-based architectures, which are strictly "strife-based." Anyway, the other things we see plenty of are glitches and weird displays, which lead to some really interesting... if not suggestive pics. I believe, LOTD (List of the Day) refers to it as "Found Porn." There's not too much of that, but it happens. Check out my gaffe; it's rather tame, compared to other stuff on the Intrawebs.

I'm just glad I wasn't in front of him

And so it goes. The other night, I was trying to train prayer from level 78 to 79. I finally broke down and bought the last 100 dragon bones, which pissed me off. I hate spending money, in real life as well as RS. I was chatting with friends, because this has to be the most boring, most frustrating skill to train, ever, although I love using pray in combat. This is not a skill you can really do AFK (away from keyboard,) at least I can't. 

Anyway, every trip from Castle Wars to Ecto saw me leave something behind, ecto-tele back to the fundus from the slime pit with empty buckets, ecto-tele from Castle Wars. Oops! Forgot a new Ring of Duelling, tele Home and/or bury a dragon bone or two. It was a mess and took me eight times as long as it should have. This is mainly due to stuff like this:

No comment necessary, but I should stick to Solitaire, not gab :D

Just so Runescape doesn't feel picked on, regarding the "found porn," or suggestive pictures and conversations, I received this little gem today. I filed a complaint with the FBI today. I have been receiving scammy, bullshit-type calls demanding money, but these people will not tell me any info, nor send me a statement. They want a Credit Card number NOW! I've been capturing the numbers and reporting them to various Federal agencies. It gives me something to do, lol. Anyway, the FBI, along with most other websites, wants us all to type in the exact letters found in a "captcha." Okay. I usually have to look at ten or twelve of them before I can find one I can see, but I had no trouble seeing this. This is "captcha" gold! Legally blind or not, what does this say about me?

Are those "titys per ft," or "titys in a bucket?" Credit the FBI?

ACE'S FASHION SHOW

Last week, Ace was off getting his 50,000th level in something, probably his 300th 99, and asked me if he could show me some of his new outfits. I was (still) praying, and bored out of my mind. So, he pops in at the Ecto thing-a-ma-jig, wearing this:

No points here for composition, scale or centering of subject

So, off we went to Fally, so he could rummage around in his bank and show me this:

Notice my lovely free-hand "styling," that I was too lazy to edit out; you don't get art like this everyday!

Oh yeah, this isn't about me; it's about Ace's lovely outfits. And they are nice. I notice he likes yellow. I do too, but I don't know if I like so much of it:

That's a whole bunch of yellow

Anyway, he changed up on colors; he put on a green outfit, but I'll save that to  show you all, and make Jeremy jealous. Ace's words, not mine, heh.

MEMORIES

This post's memories are just some screenies of some of the random weirdness and funny stuff that has happened over the years, and I've either been lucky enough to capture at the time, or kind people have sent to me. RSHumor.net is also a great source for me, and I will credit them, as appropriate.

A "random" event during skilling... A very stupid "random" and very action-packed. I'm sure I enjoyed it more than whatever idiot skill I was training... Still can't believe I took a screenie of this; what's even sadder?   I kept it for almost 4 years... *sigh*

Some quest with a fox, a chicken and a bag of feed. I think it's a riddle from Days of Olde, When Knights Were Blah, Blah, Blah. Or a bad joke. In real life, the damn fox looks like he'd weight 200 lbs. I weigh about 100... I thought this was hilarious for some reason, and no, I wasn't drunk that night... yet

And, some times, one might do things on RS forums that may get one banned. One could argue that the average I.Q. on RS in aggregate, is about 48, and one would not be wrong. Check out this screenshot, courtesy of  RSHumor.net . I thank them for this and still laugh about it:

Heh; this is actually one of the brighter specimens...

Anyway, that's it for today; I went to Google's Collaborative Creativity Conference, today. Rule number one is, "write 500 words a day." Trying to cut back from the 5,000 a post, I usually write. I want to keep my readers, not kill them.

What? No L33t 5p34k?
