  1. Well, while you were gone I dipped into negative credits and I started playing Runescape again...Hosting was also down for like 1 month iirc.Welcome back!
  2. Damn, this reminds me of my childhood.Let me recount... When I was a kid I went to to my 1st school and made a lot of friends but my mom made me switch schools because she believed the school was part of an evil conspiracy or some *BLEEP* like that. I had to switch to a school in the same neighborhood and went there, but after a year or so, halfway through 3rd grade, they kicked me out of Turtle Rock because my house was not in the neighborhood. I moved to my 3rd school, again leaving behind my friends for 1 year. I left all my friends at that school and again went to a different school for 4th to 6th grade. I stayed at that school and switched to a different middle school for 7-8th and left all my friends because we had to move and now I go to a high school in california.It sucks to switch schools and leave your friends, and the pain is terrible, but it only lasts for a good 4 months or so and you'll make new friends. Good friends.
  3. Damn man, It sounds like you're old and have experience with relationships. As for me, I'm in my first relationship in high school and getting ripped from my girlfriend would absolutely tear my world. I can't convince you try and stay with her, because my dad lost interest in my mom and it became terrible..They got divorced when I was 5 and it totally shattered my world. "Where's daddy??" and my mom was left a blubbering mass of a person that began to hear voices and all sorts of evil *BLEEP* started happening to my family.ADVICE: Stay with her and try to spice it back up again, but don't get married until you're sure you're willing to spend 50 years+ with her. It kills the children to have divorced parents. Don't do that to your kids.
  4. Wow, you're going to be selling bone marrow? That sounds like absolute torture. Oh my gosh, how can this be legal. I wish you the best of luck dude, godspeed. I had cavities that had my entire mouth feeling horrible and I was left in a daze 24/7. We have to take better care of our teeth.If you're good at writing you should see an article on how to make money writing online articles. Ghost-writing would do you some good
  5. SSBB is the best game of this gen so I recommend the wii. If not because of Super Smash Brothers Brawl, or because you don't like the game, then I would definately recommend a PS3. The graphic capabilities vs a 360 are flipping SUPERB.Maybe i'm biased because I did not have a PS2 last gen (I had a gamecube), but I would get a PS3 because you can play classics like Devil May Cry series namely 3. You can also play Tales of the Abyss which is a fantastic game. You also get the final fantasy series and onimusha and ninja gaiden for the ps3 and lots of other games. Namely KINGDOM HEARTS. By god, I want to play that game so much.While the Wii only has games like Mario Galaxy or red steel. The selection is far less.I bought the gamecube for a good few games like metroid prime and super smash. That's all the nintendo consoles have really. Damn smash. I wish I bought a Ps2 last gen. PS3 this gen ftw!
  6. You know what I really like. I like rocking out with my *explicit* out! Pardon my french. I'm serious, I love every type of music. Well, almost every time. I hate Rap. Well, not exactly rap as a whole, but I hate it. To a lesser degree. I dislike Rap because of the rappers who go about disrespecting women with their lyrics, like if they go around saying, I be with your mama on the parking lot while she's feasting on my lollypop, ya dig? What the hell is that supposed to represent? They try to force their bad stereotypes on the black community. With incites more anger and gangsters and wannabe-gangsters to run about in this beautiful world of ours. I also dislike hip hop and jazz. I don't know it just tickles my funnybone in the wrong way. What I really like is rock however. ROCKKKKKKKSTAAAAAAARRRR. Not only do I play guitar hero but I play rock band too, and it is the craziest sensation i've ever felt. I can even compare rocking out to opening up a brand new, crisp sealed pack of Yugioh cards. There's nothing like the feeling. What bands do I like? Well I like Thousand Foot Krutch definately, it's a Christian Rockband with crazy hits like Move and Phenomenon and Hit the Floor. Another band I really adore is Rise Against. My mom always thinks i'm listening to black men because the sound that Rise Against generates is so deep and rich and full that it's like a deep soul Reuben Studdard. My favorite songs from Rise Against include Give it All, Ready to Fall, Blood to Bleed, Rumors of my Demise have been greatly exaggerated and Injection. There's just so much that goes into creating a wonderful song, and Rise Against does it perfectly. Rock revolution!!! I agree, there are some wonderful rappers out there. But there are also rappers that disrespect women in EVERY SONG THAT THEY PRODUCE. What the hell is wrong with MTV these days. And the youth.

  8. LOL! Well I think I can tie this to a situation I had with a thief at St. Louis Shonen Jump Tournament. I was trading my cards with someone and they were doing this dual-layer scam where one person talks to you and distracts you from your trade folder, while the other person sneaks up and takes the trade folder, when you look away for a split second. Well the thief stole my cards and my trade folder and I alerted a tournament judge, and the whole store was put into lockdown and at the end of the tournament I found my trade folder in a trash bin and all my cards were still there, because I write my name on every card I own, which completely nerfs the trade and resell value of the cards. Damn thieves lol.
  9. Yeah, but you don't understand the amount of competition for these MMO's. For example, I have 500m on Runescape, and now measures have been put in place so real-life trading like this doesn't happen. Let me explain the situation:Before, there would be thousands of autoers in Free worlds cutting trees. In reality, these autoers are really just chinese sweatshop workers playing like 5 accounts at once. There would be entire villages of these Runescape workers to collect logs and ores online. They would then sell these goods on the forums, and sell the gp for real life cash.Jagex caught onto this however, but in reaction they cancelled the trading system as a whole. They limited it to such an extent that you can only trade a super small fraction of you could trade before and its still easy to real world trade these days.In total: You CAN make money with MMO's but the payout is very slow, you have too much competition, and your accounts will get banned if caught.
  10. Does this program really work?? Because I do all sorts of get rich-quick businesses and they don't exactly work out all that well for me. Maybe its just me but I'll wait here in the shadows while some more people playtest this system. Tell me how it goes! I signed up but right now I'm afraid to activate my account. Do you get a referral prize for adding me to your system?Is this like spiderweb chronicalling, where you generate leads for your business, and if so how would this system be placed into action. How can this system work?
  11. Is Google is really known for their security leaks??I've been using Yahoo mail for the longest time now, and I think that their service is good, but at the same time I made a google account. Google mail is really truly awful for people with dialup because it conflicts with the 56k bps and also its infuriating how slow the CSS and whatnot gets inputted in Gmail. I really like Yahoo mail but they have too many ads on their service.I may be trying Hotmail or whatnot in the future because this canreally be infuriating for someone like me, through crusades to strive for the best e-mail provider. I made my own site, and squirrelmail really sucks. Imo.I like Yahoo mail the best.
  12. It's true, Obama is a great oviator. The reason for this is because his pastor and church are very controversial yet outgoing, so this must have rubbed off on Obama as a child.Like from my experience, I've had very shy and cloisive parents for as long as I can remember, and only recently i've only come out of my shell to be someone that can be a good public speaker. I truly envy Obama, but did he really write that Speech himself?? The time for change is now! I wish I was old enough to vote... I agree with the ideals and principals that Obama was trying to convey in his speech, but at the same time, I think that he's just too opinionated, and has no real plan to pack up his intentions.
  13. This topic really hits home because a girl asked me out to Prom but she was a Senior and i'm a Sophomore so I had to say no, because you know sometimes people will just exploit you for their own personal gain and whatnot.I wish, sometimes this world just hurts to be in it. From where I stand however, the right thing in your situation to do would be to intervene and explore the different routes you can take with this world, whether its to continue the relationship or to just let her go.Because long distance relationships don't work and no guy will wait that long for a girl to be "of age" I suggest just letting her go because she's only 14 and she will fall in love with other people regardless if you let her go now.Cheers mate, good luck with your love life, hee hee.
  14. Are the Xisto host servers still the same?Right now my domain has its DNS set to ns1.trap17.com and ns2.trap17.com, am I correct or did the server change also change the DNS??Thank you
  15. I love vietnamese food. There is a restaurant near where I live that is great for it. My favorite entree there is the cold noodle dish that comes with pork, grilled shrimp, and egg rolls all in a bowl and then you put that clear sauce on it that tastes really good. I also love the pork and shrimp spring rolls that you dip in the peanut sauce.It's pretty healthy for me to digest so I view it as a healthy food. Not like my friend who pigs out at del taco everyday...
  16. Yes i've been going through the same dilemma. Xisto - Web Hosting won't let me cancel my hosting account because customer service keeps putting me through a goddamn loop. Xisto's hosting credits is a total jipp, no refund on credits for downtime, no nothing. Hell, my website traffick has gone down a HUGE AMOUNT because of Xisto's hosting problems. I'm very unhappy.
  17. Trap17 is more navigatable and has a cooler cPanel than Xisto - Web Hosting...This may be opinion, but the HTML editor on Xisto - Web Hosting is long gone. The cPanel is the newer version but as always newer isn't always better. So what if they have a new cpanel (ensim did the same thing)?the fact is they left old software on for years when much newer and more secure versions are ready.Hell, php6 is about to come out. So in two years plesk, cpanel and ensim will finally go to php6 when php 8 is available.Just the inablilty to apply security patches alone is enough to never use this stuff. If you have any real business going on and not just a content site, you need to never use this stuff.Content sites are my niche, so I love Xisto for what it offers!
  18. Start A LUCRATIVE Online Business That Generates a Passive, Residual Income Every Month on Autopilot From The Job You Do Just ONCE ! That is the catchline... Network marketing is basically where if you recruit someone, they recruit tons more people virally in a endless-spiralling loop of recruiting more and more people. For example, I recruited 10 people for this GDI thing (http://viralurl.com/domain.php?folder=Gnarfard&key=GDI&siteref=), and the system costs $10/month. This means as long as all the people I signed up stay signed up I never lose or gain money. EXCEPT that the people I recruited can recruit more people and when the more people sign up, I get money for every person they sign up in a 5 chain. I recruit people for this network marketing stuff with an automated message that I whipped up a few weeks ago, it works wonders The problem is with network marketing that it takes ages to get it started Someone sits in the shade today, because they sowed the seeds for the tree yesterday! Are you willing to spend a few hours a week for total financial freedom? This means that income for life can be yours if you work at it! And slowly but surely your online empire will grow far and great distances until you're an internet kingpin! My name is Christopher Shyu and I will hold your hand through this strange and exciting process of generating $10 into a quick, steady income that will last you for the rest of your life! * I am offering my personal time and effort and money to help you and whomever you want to be on your team to succeed. I will personally tutor you with all the resources I have at my disposal, with one-on-one peer support * ~ Christopher Shyu I have been learning the in's and out's of Global Domains Industry and network marketing since I was a Freshman in High School. I need to tell you my story. My father is a raging idiot. He has an abusive father for years. I had been living my normal crappy life, when I decided enough was enough. Now by applying my new income-generating plan I live with my friends in an expensive suite apartment with all the stuff and expensive I could ever dream of. My passion is Yu-Gi-Oh! and now I can afford to pay for my expensive hobby. All we do everyday is work on helping others like yourself succeed at this business, and then we spend the rest of the day playing games and shopping and lounging around like children, and this is a true story. I was a total newbie after a year of research I have discovered how to unlock the secrets of the internet. I won't barrage you with ads or dumb down your intelligence, this is real. Now, I run an extremely successful website donning the name of Team Gnarfard, and I have hired a team (they're really just my friends but I pay them anyways) to help me, help other people get rich just like I did. Because I was poor once. I know how hard it is. How troublesome the loop of not having enough money is. The key to you finally succeeding online is to plug into a mentor with a system that is proven to bring in results. That is exactly what I do... you'll get BIG results if you plug in and follow the instructions provided... Online network marketing is also commonly known as internet network marketing. You use the internet to do the business. oing an online network marketing doesn't mean that you create an website and your business will run on auto-pilot. You still need to put in that hard work! Your job is to attract as much traffic as you can and let your prospects exposed to your company's products and opportunity. In an average sales page, a 1%-3% conversation rate is common. This means that out of 100 people who visited your site, 1-3 will buy your products. In other words, in online network marketing, 1-3 people will join your team out of 100 people. What does this means? The more traffic you have, the more people will be recruited into your team and your network marketing organization will grow. Simple as that! I am dedicated to bringing you the best possible system so you can achieve your goals and reach your dreams in record time. Systems work, people fail... it's that simple! So take a peek at my new system for automated income. I have worked on this system for ages and it works wonders. Now I can enjoy sitting in the lap of luxury with me and my friends who have become self-made retirees at such a young age. * I have created a systemic plan where you can automatically get tons of people in your downline, generate free ad credits to get more people on your list and sign up in your downline, and monetize all this downline and mailing list stuff into easy, automatic income for life! The money is in the list, which generates members in your downline, which generates daily/monthly income with little investment necessary! * Thousands Of People Worldwide Are Earning Quiet Fortunes From Their Homes, Even While They Sleep! Are You Next? Network Marketing GDI is one of the BEST program that generate passive residual income which is affordable ($10/month) and comes with huge, unlimited potential. http://viralurl.com/Gnarfard/GDI/ The most important step is to explore GDI! Watch my 7 minute video that will explain this marketing stuff to the fullest extent! There are 7 very good reasons to start this network marketing stuff. Starting an Online Business with GDI is the smartest choice that you'll ever make.

    Star Wars

    I know sounds cool right?I bought an $80 star wars lightsaber replica to play with at my school but look what happens.. FX Sabers as low as $89.99, sure but as soon as I played with it the blade shattered.If you're a super star wars choreographer can you tell me what lightsabers I should get for like duels with friends.I purchased two for $19 ea and they're working fine I can't really comprehend how long or how far and to what extent I need to force this starwars thing on my friends if they're not going to listen or what brand should I buy. Because truly there is none greater thing than to experience the full powers of the force BWAHAHA :lol:after this I am going to buy this: Darth Maul Star Wars EP I : The Phantom Menace Full Double-Bladed FX Lightsaber by Master Replicas $199.99Can you tell me if the blade is stable or will it shatter like my first one?thanks
  20. Many people are under the false assumption that global warming is real. I want all you to help prove to them that it is fake. PLEASE, I NEED YOU TO SPREAD THE WORD. God I just can't comprehend how long this world will fall and shatter and crumble omg how can all this be happening to us. If global warming is fake then how come the degree or temp of the world goes up by like 1 degree every few days. The entire olson clan in our neighborhood complained of heat for days upon days, but they have known to be liars. In 20 years you'll all see, global warming is a huge lie! The media doesn't show you the facts AGAINST global warming. I know it's only a way for the media to make money. Temperatures have only been increasing by a TINY fracture each year! I mean one millionth of a degree! You don't see the temperatures globally! They show you the temperatures of the US. The US is not the only country in the world! Wow, it's all just a big hoax to me, and that's just my two cents on this whole situation.
  21. Ready to Fall by Rise Against i love this song but i think the lyrics are kinda screwed in points. the chorus is a letdown, but the rest of the song is great. the beat reminds me of something the offspring would play. i couldnt tell you what it all means... the first verse throws off my only guess. I just saw the video for the song, and it has nothing to do with having nowhere to go but down. It's a song about our environment and cruelty to animals. really good song. i dont really like rise against but they arent bad, i really like this song though. the first time i heard this song i thought it was about breaking down and not being able to hold yourself in anymore. im not too sure what the video has to do with it all; but it's quite powerful. my favorite song ever!
  22. what's the difference between Add-on / Parked / Subdomains? Is parked just where the website isn't being made yet and subdomain is with the subdomainurl.mainsite.extension Add-on domains are where i'm confused I tried adding http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ to my domain but it says they got added as add-on domains but the urls are gnarfard.metaknight.com, vitachoconutriment.metaknight.com and ekaiyo.metaknight.com... Are the subdomains the same thing as the regular URL domain?? So if I went to my cPanel where would I go to edit http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ seperately from http://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=metaknight&e=com because that's where i'm stuck Do I go to file manager -> public_html or www -> then to ekaiyo folder? in ekaiyo folder there's a file called .ftpquota is that where I set bandwidth limits on http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/? And I made index.html in the ekaiyo folder that's where I do it, right? -- Hold on, I tried to make a file in public html -> ekaiyo but it doesn't work. I headed to www folder -> ekaiyo -> create file -> index.html But instead of saying http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ the URL is http://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=metaknight&e=com??? -- YES IT WORKS! ekaiyo.com is up in action How come ekaiyo.com is up and running but http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ takes me to a parked page by namecheap??

  23. Does anyone else play Kingdom of Loathing? my username on it is Reekun i'm a twice-ascended level 14 Hardcore Boozefaterian Disco Bandit Looking for something to do? You should go see the Council of Loathing in Seaside Town. Ascension is the ultimate goal of the game. Upon reaching level 11 (it's ridiculous, it's not even funny! / INSIDE JOKE AHAHA), and completing all other quests, you unlock the Final Quest: Defeat the Naughty Sorceress. It's insanely difficult, involving 7 unique combats, a lot of puzzles, and the hardest monsters in the game. When you finally clear it all, you get to fight the big bad Sorceress herself at the end. And when you defeat her, the game "ends". You save the king, and have beaten the game. I really thought the game ended there... then I ascended ahaha. Because an adventurer is you! this is truly a fun game but I only know like three people that play it that's from the duck quest, the funnest quest in KoL by far! I'm at level 13, in the midst of the Trapzor quest (in the mine right now). I only have enough meat for either Nimble Fingers or Mad Looting Skillz, so which should I buy first? I'm looking in Hagnk's Ancestral Mini-Storage, and one of the bricks says "We don't need no education." This just might make my day. training at the Icy Peak I make a ton of meat, so by the time I would be able to equip it, I assume I would have enough meat to make it without the 21k I'd get from the dictionary. The main thing I am looking for is more adventures each day, I already have a meat maid. Also, is there a good place to gather Spices? I usually just buy them in the mall each day to make delicious spicy noodles, but they are like 2k each. What is a good booze that is affordable, or I can find the ingredients myself easily for my level to get adventures each day? ( I have liver of steel) who else meat-farms I might try the castle! This is the best game ever! I'm having so mjuch fun, even some free cooking! Look me up: annu or schie! My other username is Reekun I've only ascended once, as a Seal Clubber. I'm not a level 11 Disco Bandit. I love being impossible to hit, but I hear that Moxie works negatively against the Naughty Sorceress, because she'll hit you harder. Is this true? Actually, I just realized something... if u give me your username (KoL), I can send meat/items to you if you need help Hey, quick favor? There's about 20 minutes until maintenance. Could someone trade a twinkly wad for a bottle of swamp gas for me? I'd do it, but I'm in oxycore and can't get to any wads today. I'll give you several wads in return! I look at what others are selling for and knock off a little bit so that mine shows up instead of theirs. For example, I got some of those jagged can lids in the haunted pantry and found them in the market for 5000. So I put it up at 4800. I love the flea market. I sold an easy to get item for 4800 and used 3700 to buy a high level accessory that gave me 12 more strength, a big boost at level 5. I hope there's some pro's in this forum I rescued the king. I'm not ascending yet though. Going for Pulverise. Have you been using food and booze to their fullest advantage? If you don't have a lot of meat at this point, I think the cheapest good deals are ballroom blintzes and flutes of flat champagne from the mall. We've also got a few blintzes in the clan stash. That's my Hardcore ascension strategy I also bought the bouquet from the store. Seriously awesome stuff. I figure I'll nab mine towards the end of the month, so I'd be interested to know how it performs over time for you. What should I get for my ascension skill? You can get more adventures by eating, drinking, having a meat maid at your campsite, being in a clan, or having certain pieces of equipment during rollover (dead guy's watch, time pieces, chrome weapons, etc.). After rollover you will have your 40 standard adventures back, plus any from the day before, plus any from what I listed above. MAX OUT YOUR ADVENTURES and then you can super meat farm Saphyre (#550172) Level 18 Pastamancer Statistics: Current Hit Points: 262 Maximum Hit Points: 267 (base: 213) Current Mana Points: 489 Maximum Mana Points: 489 (base: 444) Muscle: 210 (265/421) Mysticality: 306 (base: 298) (420/597) Moxie: 205 (61/411) Hot Protection: Minor Stench Protection: Meager Adventures remaining: 62 Meat: 15,443 Favorite Food: hot wing Favorite Booze: ice-cold Willer Turns Played: 13374 Days Played: 401 Advancement: You must gain 30 Mysticality to advance to level 19.

Introduction: Kingdom Of Loathing. An MMORPG (Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) that can be found over at https://www.kingdomofloathing.com/login.php?loginid=0df0b518778840f4b82eb95b7c614440. A game that has seen the creation of nearly one million accounts over its three and a half year history. I myself have played the game since November 2003, I've seen the experienced nearly everything that the game can throw at you and enjoyed every minute of it. Most reviewers on other sites look at the game for five minutes and decide that it is crap, which I can tell you, is a complete lie, Kingdom Of Loathing (Kol for short) is one of the most addictive and fantastic games that I have ever played in my entire life, and it's FREE! History: Kol has a long history, full of its ups and downs, that I am going to try and summarise in a couple of paragraphs. The Kingdom Of Loathing was created in 2003 by Zack Johnson (aka Jick), who couldn't find a comedy RPG that didn't completely revolve around player versus player combat, so he decided to make one. With the help of his friend Josh Nite (Mr Skullhead), Jick created his RPG, and christened it the Kingdom Of Loathing, it had lots of traditional RPG features, such as character classes with their own traits and skills, stats and levels, monsters that could be fought, items that could be found and used, crafts that could turn items into better items, a chatpane and forums where players could discuss their experiences, and a small amount of player versus player content. The game also had lots of original features, the most innovative of which was 'adventures', each player was given 40 adventures every day and going to a location (where monsters could be fought or things could be done), cost 1 adventure, and when a player ran out of adventures, they were finished for the day unless they got themselves some more through items. The other main original feature of the game was its jokes, nearly everything in the game had a joke or pop-culture reference worked into it, and this was one of the things that made the game quickly popular. As the game got more and more popular, bugs were discovered and exploited, players came and left, and new content was constantly added to keep the players happy. The game progressed like this for a little over two years, with a few major events caused by things like bugs (such as Black Sunday, a time when the entire games economy was ruined by bug exploitation) and accidents (Every players inventory being deleted). On June the 9th, 2005, the game came out of its 'beta' stage with the coming of 'ascension', where players could defeat the final boss of the game and reincarnate as a level one player to play the game again, players were encouraged to ascend by the number of options available (for example - players can take ascensions where they have access to their old items, or ascensions where they have no access to these items) and the huge amounts of post-ascension content. Since ascension, Kol has progressed very well, few bugs are found, the game is stable, the game is updated around the clock, the community is thriving and everybody is happy. Storyline: The Naughty Sorceress captures the king of the Kingdom Of Loathing, Ralph XI, and it is your job to rescue him, fighting your way through the sorceresses monsters to rescue him, you must then defeat her to rescue the king and then restore peace to the kingdom. Sometimes, sub-stories are part of the game as well, such as the Penguin Mafia's evildoings or the Grey Plague that threatened to turn all of Kol's players into zombies. It's all great. Graphics/Sound: Kol is in black and white and all of its graphics are stick figures. That is what hordes of people who see the game immediately dislike it for. Personally, I think the stick figures are great, they are simple and funny, and really show how the game is comedic rather than serious. The lack of colour is no problem either (can you even colour stick-figures?), but there's always those who think that the game should have Halo-style graphics, they are ignored. The game has no sound whatsoever. Gameplay: Where do I begin? Kol is highly addictive, once you start playing, you can never stop. You create your character on the main page, choosing which class you want to be, from there, you just activate your account and can play. You get forty adventures a day (there are ways to get more) that you can use doing whatever you want, some things require adventures, and some don't. Adventuring allows you to go to areas and either explore them or fight monsters, getting stats that allow you to level, items that can be used to boost your characters power, or be used in your characters crafts and meat (the games currency) that can be used to buy things. Player versus Player (PvP) combat allows you to test your skills against others. The mall allows you to play the games economy, buying and selling like theirs no tomorrow. Clans allow you to be part of a group, you can share your stories, stuff and can even fight against other clans. The casino allows you to gamble your meat (which is the games equivalent of money) against either the computer or against others, as well as betting on the underground wrestling scene. Guilds allow you to train class-specific skills that allow you to be stronger in or out of combat, make better items with your crafts or improve other aspects of your game. The Museum allows you to see various records from the past, as well as display your collections of items for all to see. Familiars provide you with companionship, and can be raised as you raise yourself. Leaderboards give players the opportunity to prove that they are the best at a certain aspect of the game. Collectibles such as tattoos and trophies provide an extra challenge for perfectionists. The comedy is absolutely superb, as mentioned before, just about everything has a joke or reference in it (such as the dreaded Trouser Snake monster or the dancing Astral Badger familiar). It's all fantastic. Community: Kol, without a doubt, has one of the best communities I have ever seen. The first area of community is the Kmail system, players can send messages, items and meat to one another through a message system, though sending things between your own accounts is not allowed and gets you banned from the game). The second area of the community is chat, Kol's chat is made up of a series of channels, each channel is designed for a different thing, such as the trade channel, which is designed for trading, and the pvp channel, which is designed for PvP discussion, each channel has its own rules and policies (every channel forbids spoilers, flaming and bad links, whilst bad grammar is looked down on) these rules are enforced by a set of moderators, who are appointed by the games admins and have the power to ban wrongdoers from the chat. The third area of the games community is the forums, Kol has a set of nine forums, one allows players to discuss the game, one allows players to discuss meet-ups and community issues, one allows players to ask questions about the game, one allows players to buy and sell things such as artwork and literature, one allows players to make contests, one allows players to discuss non-kol matters, one allows players to spam their hearts out, one allows players to insult and be horrible to one another, whilst the last is an archive of the above, each forum has its own guidelines and these are once again enforced by moderators, the forums also have many traditions and memes, with highlights being things such as a thread with a running GameFAQ's joke and yiffing, which I'm not even going to explain here. The fourth (and probably biggest) area of Kol's community is player projects, through the forums and the game, players can run all sorts of projects, ranging from philanthropic giveaways to pvp events and mall sales, some of the games bigger player projects are huge aspects of the game, Radio Kol is broadcast 24/7 by a team of superb DJ's, fansites such as the Kol Wiki provide information on absolutely everything in the game, artwork from all sorts of players is in high demand, magazines such as Kol Weekly and Syphilis attracted large amounts of readers, comics are read and laughed at by hundreds of forum members, literature is read and discussed, whilst game content is discovered by players who work together to find it. It's all excellent. Lifespan: Kol can literally last you forever, there are hundreds of different things you can accomplish, from having the best collection of a certain item to being top of a leaderboard, from having all the trophies to being one of the highest level players. It's all incredible. Welcome to the Kingdom of Loathing. The Kingdom of Loathing (Kol) is a browser based online multiplayer game that provides a great deal of humor, and surprizing amounts of strategy. GamePlay: Gameplay in Kol is varied. From fighting and slaying monsters, to reading "Do you kiss your mother with that mouth" after typing in an obscene word into a response window, Kol presents a general RPG that has so many extras thrown in. Add a solid PvP, clans and a user-based economy, much of the game is player based. But the beauty is that you can go solo, or you can have a group of friends who you all support, and are supported by help you through the game. RPG Elements: Kol is a parody of almost any other RPG out there. Meat for instance, is the currency of the world. KoL pokes fun at the stat building in traditional RPGs, while having a good system itself in allowing characters to be customized. Characters can equip a large range of items, learn skills and do things. KoL's story is not a very strong point in the game, but the hillarity in its design overshadows the by far. Player Interaction: KoL presents many layers of player interaction. Attacking each other in PvP, buying items, or even just hurling toilet paper over their tend or cottage, KoL allows players to interact and help one another. Clans, previously mentioned, often become large groups that are very close and supportive of one another. Economy: I have some complaints about the economy. The first is that the player-controled malls tend to be a huge fight battle, and unless you can find an item, buying it at the mall will cost you. And cost you it will. The mall is prone to price gouging, but it also serves as a way of turning an item into more profit than just selling it. Community: The KoL community is huge, something very good today. The one large complaint is that scamming, while heavily punished does happen. The general rule of thumb when trading for anything valuable is to think things through and take your time. Haste (unlike final fantasy, which the game parodies) does make waste in this situation. The KoL community is alsoa stickler for good grammar, spelling and punctuation. They also dislike the public giving of spoilers. Replay Value: With a game system of ascending, the chance to play through the game as a different class is greatly appealing. Being able to keep your old items is even more appealing, if you can wait 600 turns to exit ronin and access them again. Total: Overall, KoL is a very good game. Varied and interesting gameplay, an economy that relies of players, a massive community who use proper language and a massive amount of content that is humorous makes KoL a very good RPG. Despite being a parody of traditional RPGs, KoL is a very good one itself! The Kingdom of Loathing. A nifty web-based game that relies on humor and quirkiness, instead of graphics and music. This is nearly the exact opposite of todays games... where graphics are king, and gameplay takes second fiddle. Sad, really. Graphics: Okay, take the graphics with a grain of salt. Stick figures and poorly hand-drawn monsters. You can tell that Assymmetric Publications doesn't put a lot of time nor effort into it. Then again, that's really part of Kingdom of Loathing's (or KoL) charm. The goofy little monsters, and stick figure heroes. A poorly drawn sword in one hand, and a martini in the other. Gameplay: Well, it's a web-based game. There are menus. Turn-based RPG combat, too. You click around the kingdom, selecting where you want to go... like the Seaside Town, the Gnomish Gnomad's camp, or the Misspelled Cemetary (Yes, it's supposed to be spelled that way). Depending on the area, you can be brought into a combat, another map to "explore", or there can be an adventure with no combat. Combats themselves are simple. You encounter the foe (which often has a humorous name and description), click on if you want to attack, use an item, use a skill, or run, and go at it. Next round of combat, and so on. Really, it's quite simple. Ah yeah, I mentioned adventures up there, didn't I? Adventures are your "turns". Most actions take them. Going into an area that has combats or other such events will take an adventure. Exploring non-combat areas like most of the Seaside Town, though, will not. Buying from the Market and Mall won't, either. Making booze and food will, though... unless you get some certain items. Booze and food! Ah, the lifeblood of any adventurer. Now, you don't have to eat or drink. Not at all. Doing so, though, gives you more adventures (which cap at 200 at a time, and refresh at the late-night rollover). Some booze is better than others, and some food is better. Some... do bad things, too... so be careful. Combat. Back to combat. When you fight something, you lose an adventure. However, when you kill something, you gain Meat (the local currency), experience for one of your three statistics, and possibly items. The higher your statistics get, the stronger, more magical, and more moxious (ability to hit, not get hit, etc.) you shall become. Also, more quests open up the stronger you get. Now, you can also interact with the other members of the Kingdom of Loathing... though not as much as in your standard online game. You can enter the chat (provided you pass the Alter of Literacy's challenge), and speak to other members there. Also, you can send messages, items, or beneficial spells to other members. There's also a clan system, where you can get bonuses and go through automated clan combats. While the interaction isn't as rich as a standard online game, it's simple, and effective. I haven't even scratched the surface as to the expanse of this games gameplay. There's so much more to explore and behold... so once you start playing, examine and explore. Test and try different things. Push comes to shove? Ask someone for help! Some of the chatters can be quite friendly. Sound: Nonexistent. This is a web-based game, and a very simple one at that. It's nothing to worry about, though. It's not like you can't turn on some music and listen while you play. As has been stressed, this is a simple game... so don't expect a lot of bells and whistles (or any sounds, for that matter) from KoL. Just play, and enjoy. Story: You are... an adventurer. A weak, wimpy little adventurer with nothing but your class specific weapon and other item. You're pathetic! Anyhow, apparently, the Naughty Sorceress, who is the bad-girl supreme in the lands, has kidnapped the wise and noble King Ralph XI. She's taken him into her tower, and imprisoned him in some sort of crystal, no less! What lack of respect! Anyhow, the Council of Loathing, which is led by presumably the wise minds of the Seaside town, wish you to help them out. Sending you on many quests and missions, it all comes to a climax when you come face to face with the Naughty Sorceress herself. There, you fight for the fate of the Kingdom. Sally forth, adventurer. Fun Factor: Incredible. I have a great time with this game. It's updated very often, and there are so many quests and different places to explore. Play differently, depending on your class. Do as many sidequests as you want, or none at all. Take your time and enjoy the game, or try and blow through it as fast as possible. You can play it your way. It's fun, funny, and all around enjoyable. I play it every day. Replayability: Vast. Once you beat the game (Defeating the Naughty Sorceress, and freeing the King), you can "ascend." You return to Level 1, with all of your items (unless you choose a hardcore ascension.. which will be detailed once you're at that point), ready to stomp through it all again. new things open up as you beat the game and ascend, so it's very unlikely that you will have the same game experience twice. I've been paying KoL for three years, and I still haven't gotten tired of it. Still using the same character I made when I started out. Buy or Rent? It's on the web... and you don't pay a dime. Buy? Rent? Just register a character, and go beat up some Evil Cans of Asparagus. Careful! This one's got a knife! I've rambled on through this a lot longer than I thought I would... but I hope I've conveyed that the Kingdom of Loathing is an entertaining, funny game. it's not as complex as it may seem, and it's very deep at the same time. Extremely satisfying, without a doubt. Enough reading! Go on! Go complete some quests, join a clan, and get your butt kicked by a Ninja Snowman. This is my main account, level 17 Pastamancer I'm about to beat NS13
  24. I am a super avid Runescape gamer fan and i'm a paying member!Jagex really screwed with prices and the economy though and removed PKING, the bastards imo D: Then they came out with freakin' funorb and the story continues..I'm a level 120 on Runescape named Omg Ohko so drop me a PM if you wish, my clan chat is always open and there's usually like 10 people in it at all times.Recently I was catching some sharks in the Fishing Guild while changing my phat after every load. Of course people were asking me how I got money to buy them and I made the mistake of jokingly saying that "I was a scam artist" and that "I had scammed the money for the phats 3k at a time." Somebody reported me and I want to commend the customer service team for taking my offense so seriously and muting me for 24 hours. As you say, was guilty of breaking Rule 9 which encourages others to break rules. I should have known better that to make preposterous claims; after all, at a rate of one 3k scam a minute, it would take only 2222 hours to raise the 400 million for a blue phat. You are right, however. You never know who could be motivated by my joke to try to scam.This event really changed my opinion about Runescape people, they're dicks so you should just tell them the truth about how rich you get from now on.I think Jagex banned the bots and wants people to behave like them, we are humans and have sense of humor and that was a very intelligent answer to give to such a pathetic question...Usually when I play RuneScape, I never get bored either.I do a variety of things from woodcutting, to playing Vinesweeper, to going in Castle Wars.As long as you do NOT stick to one activity whilst playing Runescape, I assure you that you will not get bored.Jagex is doing its best with the updates to stop the abusers.Now lets give some examples.Assist system- as it turned out people were cheating players out of gems, logs, ect. with this it stops the scams.New updates to stop rwt- now this is a big one. many people always said " rwt never affected us." but in a matter of fact it did. with people buying money and items, items were dropping in price. it also affected us because items were being bought as well, so that means more drops in prices. now the many way people did this was trading, drop trading, duel, wild, party petes. as you can tell they kept coming up with ideas to get the money over. but with the new updates its finally stopped.(to some extent)real world trading is the thing to the extent of killing off RunescapeI really love Runescape but it's going down the toilet.
  25. Sites like these: Yahoo, IMDB, MySpace, Wikipedia, National Geographic, Chicago Manual of Style, Playboy.Wikipedia.Google.Yahoo.National Geographic. Discovery Channel.History Channel. NASA.ESPN, Business Week, New York Times, The Economist and their websites, grammar sites....I don't think I'd pay to visit any site.Except Runescape I pay to play thatand I go to neopets and battleon a lotMy Favorite Game WebsiteMy favorite game site is coffeebreakarcade.com. This is my favorite site because it has a variety of games in categories like sports, classic, etc. And the games have good graphics .I also think these are the best games of their categories and that's why I'm recommending it. My Favorite Search EngineMy favorite search engine is excite.com. This is my favorite search engine because it has a thingy called zoom in, which eliminates alot of sites so you don't have to scroll through site after site.I visit my sites http://www.hugedomains.com/domain_profile.cfm?d=metaknight&e=com and http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ just to be a spectator :PI have visited YouTube on a daily basis for almost two years now, and I don’t see myself stopping anytime soon.It really is the best place to network with friends. After all, who needs MySpace? Until something even more impressive comes along, I will consider Facebook as one of my favorite social networks because facebook rocksdo it yourself sites really appeal to me tooI am sure there are more, but this was just a list of the sites I could think about off the top of my head. All these sites really offer benefits to for their visitors. Those types of sites are obviously the ones that are going to get the most page views.
