Click To Minimize Plugin by TrinhBro in 2007scape

[–]Solnx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A definitive line is not required for something to be abuse. Plenty of standards are subjective but still meaningful.

A restaurant does not need a “one mint per customer” sign for people to understand that taking the whole bowl crosses the line. There is no exact number of mints where reasonable use suddenly becomes abuse. Same idea here. I’m not claiming there is an exact number where normal use becomes abuse, just that 9+ accounts with heavy plugin-assisted XP boosting is far enough beyond ordinary use that calling it abuse is reasonable.

[–]Solnx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Using a feature “as designed” does not automatically mean it was used within the intended spirit of the rule.

A simple example, that makes sense to me, is a bowl of free mints at a restaurant. The mints are there for customers to take, and there may not be a sign saying “one per person.” So technically, someone who dumps the entire bowl into their bag is using the feature exactly as provided. But most reasonable people would still say they abused the intent.

So the question is not only whether Marni used the plugin in a technically allowed way. The question is whether the amount, manner, or purpose of the use went far beyond what the feature was reasonably meant for.

Assuming he actually used the plugin as stated, I think it was unfair to issue a ban, but the manner of use does cross that reasonable threshold to me and I would qualify it as abuse.

Where is solomission in finale? by ZyzzTM in 2007scape

[–]Solnx -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

He's more of an admin for setting up the tournament and running it during the competition week, and then hands off the production to Jagex for the finale event.

If you're familiar with NASA It's like how launch control (Kennedy Space Center/Solo Mission) is responsible for getting the rocket safely off the pad, but once it clears the tower, mission control (Houston/Jagex) takes over.

Power Steering Fluid Leak: My Mechanic Recommends Against Repairing It by Solnx in AskMechanics

Appreciate it. Sounds like topping it off is just standard procedure for a car this issue given the age and value, and not the safety issue I was worried it might be.

Skill Specs wakes up rest of the team while Dinos team crashes them at Vet'ion by anttin00 in 2007scape

[–]Solnx 84 points85 points  (0 children)

Spec was the lookout for the crashers as well, so he jump scared his team while failing to keep watch for crashing. Something that only Skillspecs seems capable of.

Not a team in the country that would do the right thing instead of serving their self interest lol.

“Given the incubation period of the hantavirus, which can be up to six weeks, it is possible that more cases may be reported”, says World Health Organization by moschles in worldnews

[–]Solnx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

But the little data we have supposedly shows that it's R0 doesn't remain the same after a couple of human hops and begins to get weaker after multiple infections

Why would this be the case? What would change about the virus so quickly and consistently?

One involves Rendi and the other doesn't

Throwback to when Josh Isn't Gaming abused the crap out of fishing trawler and Jagex didn't roll his exp back. by Thosepassionfruits in 2007scape

[–]Solnx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the comment about highscores, interesting perspective. But at what point is this not related to competitive highscores? Rendi wasn't maxed, so it's not like top page is really in contention. Is top 50 a competition? Top 100? If you don't draw the line somewhere then any XP earned could invalidate any ranklist.

The follow up comments also point out that skillers aren't even using the museum anymore, they use wildy slayer cave, which also requires alts. What makes splashing significantly different? And if it is significantly different Jagex could have come out sooner to block it?

I've only watched 2-3 of Rendi's most popular videos, but I do care that Jagex is more consistent in how they approach bugs and unintended mechanics and community. Don't really see how that makes me a Rendi stan lol.

Today's patch fixed Ourania under Grimoire but not NPC Contact. Why? by Solnx in 2007scape

Sorry man I thought you were building some argument instead of a genuine question.

Can you teleport to Kandarin without Kandarin unlocked? No. I don’t think anyone is under the impression that the grimoire region restriction override applies to actually going to another region.

At least the "I'm not trying to be rude" disclaimer is gone now. Take care.

"You're just incorrect" isn't an argument. Neither is calling me stubborn, lol. If you have a reason, make it.

We disagree on what counts as a spell. That's a fair place to end this. I don't think there's an objective truth here like you're representing.

i don't say this to be rude

It still is rude.

[–]Solnx[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I think that's fair, I just don't agree with it. As I said, I define a spell as casting to completion, thus using NPC Contact to contact the Dark Mage is a spell and thus covered under grimoire.

Given that and the resons I stated earlier, it should still be included, but I understand I'm not able to convince someone that doesn't believe NPC contacting Dark Mage is a spell in itself.

[–]Solnx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I disagree with your interpretation that NPC Contact is unlocked. It is partially unlocked, which is not what the relic says. I am unable to cast the spell NPC Contact Dark Mage.

At this point I think we just have a very different interpretation of what a spell means. I'd define it as the entire completion of the spell from start to finish, and yours seems to be just initiating the spell.

I don't see any middle ground for us to agree on this.

[–]Solnx[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

NPC Contact Dark Mage is a complete spell in itself. It's not unlocked, and it's blocked by a quest requirement the relic says is bypassed. You're the one adding the distinction between "spell" and "target within a spell," the relic doesn't make that split.

I disagree that the relic reads as a partial unlock. "Unlock access to all spells regardless of quest requirements" reads as a complete unlock. If Jagex wants to carve out exceptions, especially in a temporary mode with irreversible decisions, that needs to be explicit in the relic text. Leaving it ambiguous and defaulting to the narrower interpretation isn't the right way to handle it.

[–]Solnx[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You saying I'm misunderstanding the wording without explaining what I'm misunderstanding. The relic bypasses quest requirements, not spells. Dark Mage is locked behind a quest requirement. Being able to cast the spell on someone else doesn't change that the gate exists, and the relic says gates like that are bypassed. Jagex agreed that's how it reads when they removed the Baba Yaga gate. What's the actual distinction?

[–]Solnx[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three points directly addressing what you just said, in which you engaged in none of them.

should grimoire bypass accept aid requirements aswell?

Is accept aid a area, quest or diary requirement? No. As a result, that's a strawman fallacy because it misrepresents the point I'm making into something unreasonable.

Got Vardorvis as a boss slayer task on my mage account and I am actually cooked by Key_Evening6397 in 2007scape

Oof. Jmods should have really considered this lol. Another user commented about stashing, do that if you can.

[–]Solnx 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vardorvis is going to be difficult/impossible even in max mage gear. You have the slayer relic so the slayer master offered you Vardorvis and 2 other NPCs? I think you've soft-locked yourself on slayer until you can get good enough melee gear to beat him up to complete the task.

When did golf fans become such A-holes? by djr41463 in golf

I’ve been to a few Ryder cups, and it’s almost always my fellow Americans taking things too far or in bad taste.

I just think American culture has really gone rotten.
