  1. I'm a fan of the law. Obviously there should be some sort of limit for scenarios like this, but otherwise you end up with situations where the house owner is sued by a robber because he slipped and fell on a wet floor.

    Yeah thats basically what I was getting at but in way too many words XD

     

    This is what Judges are meant to be for, to interpret what the purpose of the law was (eg, the "castle law" clearly isn't meant to allow someone to kill anybody who enters there house, and likewise safety laws aren't meant to cover people who are doing something illegal)

  2. I'm really surprised he got away with that, usually what i hear about is the opposite  situation when someone robs someone then falls and injures themselves on the property they robbed then sue the owners. I know under Australian federal law you are allowed to defend yourself with equal force (ie. if someone tries to punch you and you feel its necessary you can punch them, but you can't beat them to a pulp or shoot anyone unless they try to shoot you) and I thought america had something equivalent (although I guess over there state law has control over a lot more). It really sucks that people can't work out the purpose of laws like this, or atleast have a reasonable idea of justice.

     

    The way the media covers this though is stupid, clearly these weren't lovely law abiding citizens (who somehow managed to legally attempt to rob a house) like this article makes out. Like you said popularity is completely irrelevant, if it was then it could be acceptable to just murder nerdy unpopular kids. Typical of the media to think popularity's is important though, and I guess that's partly fueled by the public who care far more about whats happening with celebrities than to someone they've never heard of.

     

    tl;dr? WTF! WHATS WRONG WITH THE WORLD!?!?!!?!!!1!!?

  3. Sorry to double post but I just thought people might be interested in how I've found the app and this probably wouldn't be seen otherwiseOne of the main problems I've noticed is that it will often show the wrong avatar (eg the avatar next to a post made by traag will appear as squishys avatar), which makes reading topics sometimes quite confusing and difficult to follow.As mentioned before There are some weird problems when adding a community, for example when I tried to add elder souls it kept telling me the URL was wrong, and I couldn't close the add a community tab. Eventually I managed to close it and I'd given up on it only to see that it had added the site every time it told me it failed to. So I ended up with elders souls about 15 times on my list of communities.Typing is pretty good, particularly for a mobile device although some options such as bullet points and headings are unavailable.However the only thing it does that you can't just do using the Internet on your phone is that it sends you push notifications. So it's handy but if you did have to pay for it, it's not worth it.

  4. I take full responsibility for the lack of applications at the moment, since that's my responsibility and I haven't actually done much recruiting for ages since other things have gotten in the way, when I have though people generally aren't interested in joining our clan, they're either after an active clan with lots of activity or a new one with barely any members that they can start up.Add to that the lack of interest people have for Runescape now, and yeah, maybe it is time to look at expanding into different games.

  5. The only thing I can think of is that not as many people are interested in Skyrim now, and as you mentioned that people are busy with school. But I still find it weird that people aren't registering. Another thing I just thought of is maybe that we don't have a whole lot of discussion going on about more recent games that people would want to contribute to.

  6. That surprises me, I'm only about halfway through but from what I've played of it, its awesome, and I have no idea what that inconsistency remark is about. The only thing I can think of is that its inconsistent to the previous games, in that the gameplay is very different but it kind of has to be and it was made obvious way before it came out that it was going to be different.

  7. It would be interesting if they did something with the existing expanded universe canon (Like Jacen, Jaina and Anakin Solo, and Lowbacca etc.) but I doubt they will, they'll probably start something completely new that doesn't really fit in and clashes with canon.

    Damnit! I just read that its not going to have anything to do with the existing expanded universe stuff. Which sucks because canonically the major villain at the time this is meant to be set is Grand Admiral Thrawn who is freaking awesome and unfortunately won't be in it at all. :(
  8. Not just Star Wars 7 but 8 and 9

    Yeah, I heard it was going to be a trilogy based 20 years after Return of the Jedi.It would be interesting if they did something with the existing expanded universe canon (Like Jacen, Jaina and Anakin Solo, and Lowbacca etc.) but I doubt they will, they'll probably start something completely new that doesn't really fit in and clashes with canon.
  9. I think i just used my lamp to gain XP in the skills.I didnt mean to, i was just trying to make my stats look even, and forgot about this race.Exclude me.

    I'm pretty sure your allowed to use the lamps (it says in the rules that any xp given by jagex is okay)
  10. lol, best topic ever...of all time.My signature does need work...I planned to only use it briefly and then never changed it, and can never find the time.The colours do need work though, I'm gonna do that now. (I rarely look at my sig but I noticed it the other day when they were burning my eyes)Anyway once again awesome topic. :D[edit] changed the colours, there not great but at least their not as in your face as before.

  11. I actually registered to vote this year. Why, you ask? Because if I take a picture of the ballot and show my prof I get extra credit in a class. Probably won't actually vote because I know it doesn't matter for multiple reasons.

    Its seems so weird to me that you don't have to vote in the US, I guess in theory it could work better because then the only people voting are people who know what they're doing.
  12. so far the events a flop haha1. Its in a very bad area :') clan camp was made for this shit why didnt they use it2. They didnt publicize this at allits basically a couple of clans chatting, most of which are annoying self centered dick heads js :D

    Yeah, thats what I found, I got sick of it pretty quickly. A lot of the clans were really not suited for it either, it was an event aimed at getting newb players to join clans and there were a whole heap of 100+ etc clans. I think Jagex expected the new quest to make that area a lot more popular than it actually did.On top of that my internet kept dropping out while I was doing it so it didn't go to well.

  13. Deathirst could you look into it, if you haven't already and see how we can sign up...then again we could just show up LMFAO?

    Okay, I've been looking into it and I can't get an exact answer but it sounds like theres an RSVP thread in the Clan Leader Forum. I'm not sure whether we have access to that (and if we do, who has access) but if we don't we need to apply, and theres a thread about that (QFC: 135-136-77-63399118).If we can't get accepted into the Clan Leader forum in time to RSVP I don't think it matters to much if we just show up there. I'm going to continue to try and get some more details which I'll post in the thread I created for it http://eldersouls.co...ent/#entry23411 since we're kind of going off topic here.But it should be good, not only for getting new recruits but also to interact with some similar clans which could be beneficial in the long term.
  14. Event Title

    Date: 20th and 21st of October

    Location: Goblin Village

    Notes: For details view the thread at http://services.rune...00,891,64044328

    Basically what I want to know is who wants to represent us at this event and what times (which are listed in the thread above). I'm available for the 2am and 4am sessions on both days. If we have multiple people at the same time thats no problem as this is being run on multiple worlds, and besides, the more the merrier :)

    Please note the times they have listed are in BST so if you need to convert them to your time you can use this time zone converter http://www.timezonec...cgi-bin/tzc.tzc

    I'm not exactly sure on how we sign up but I think we need Traaginen to do it, so we should have all the details for him before he does sign us up.
