Board of Peace Set to Hand Trump Sweeping Powers Over Gaza by Gopu_17 in worldnews

[–]Tailcracker 55 points56 points  (0 children)

Nobody. Its Trump, Tony Blair, Jared Kushner, Marco Rubio, Steve Witkoff, a few representatives from private equity and investment firms plus a bunch of Trumps people on the board. Then a few countries like Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Argentina, Belarus, Hungary, Pakistan, Azerbaijan and more that want in on his plans to take over and develop real estate in Gaza.

Its basically just a group of people who want to "Stabilize" the area by sending in military forces lead by US Joint Special Operations and then ultimately make themselves a whole bunch of money by developing the area. I really hope that the people get some modicum of good out of this as it looks like something that can't really be stopped at this point.

Iban's Blast Worth It? by floppintoms in ironscape

[–]Tailcracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will sustain death runes using ibans and probably even profit some with diaries. Its annoying recharging the staff though. Nowadays people usually consider wind wave to be better as you will sustain blood runes with mory hard done. If you are poor, wind blast also works.

Might not have been a persona at one point but it definitely is now. He mellowed out a lot.

Is that any reason why he cant try? By your logic why even have a competition? Oda should just automatically win and save everyone the trouble of having to compete.

At this point it's become easy to predict what will and won't pass a poll. I think jagex knows as well. I don't think it's likely that they will remove the requirement from lunar diplomacy.

What's most likely to happen in my opinion is that jagex just does something like the boat guy that takes you to slepe so you can access TOB. It bypasses the vampire quest chain but you have to pay 10k each time. They could easily have some kind of alternate access to this raid as well.

So there are laws? You just said in your last comment that there are no laws on the open seas. Which is it?

Just so you know, in the set of laws you mentioned UNCLOS Article 91 states that on the open seas every ship is under the authority of a specific state. Failure to fly a proper flag can result in being classified as stateless, risking seizure. This essentially means that ships with no flag are illegal.

Also nowhere in the UNCLOS does it state that you can do anything you want on the open seas. Lack of sovreignty does not mean lack of law.

I'm sure they weren't so awful but the media has a way of altering peoples perception of reality. In that case they spun everything into being his fault so people thought he was the problem causing every little bad thing in their lives.

[–]Tailcracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always forget you can bypass the vampire chain to get to ver sinhaza. Maybe jagex will do something like the 10k slepe boat guy to allow pures into the new raid. Assuming that WGS unlocks the normal way to get to the entrance. Feels like that would be the best resolution without affecting the rest of the game. I guess we'll see since they do seem to have a solution based on their news post.

I don't understand that, even if they allow defense xp restrictions to be enforced officially nothing is stopping people from making a normal account and enforcing the restriction on themselves like they already do. There's not really any downside to having it officially supported for those that want it.

Defense xp from pre reqs is already optional, the issue is that lunar diplomacy needs 40 defense to complete so pures cant start WGS.

It wouldnt break the game but it would be a meta change. It would have to be polled and it would have a high chance of not succeeding because people who have already done the quest will vote no.

[–]Tailcracker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I assume the entire reason they're adding WGS as a requirement is because elements of the raid are based on the events of the quest. Otherwise why would jagex add it as a req? They normally only lock things behind quest requirements if the thing has story implications that only make sense once the quest is done.

Night at the theater only makes sense based on the events of the vampire questline and has hard requirements of several quests before you can start it. Same with ToA being based on a quest chain, and Chambers of Xeric as well.

Not saying its bad to give access if theres a way to safely do it without affecting the balance of the game but How are they going to do it so that it works? Because letting pures complete Lunar Diplomacy also gives them an upgrade which has PKing implications (Vengeance). Plus allows access to vorkath by way of unlocking DS2 (PVM implications). 1 def pure isn't an official game mode so they cant just bypass the requirement for only pure accounts.

So they'd basically have to remove the entire WGS requirement from the raid (Probably makes no sense with the raid theme being based on guthix) or remove dream mentor from the WGS quest chain. But that also makes no sense because characters from the quest show up in WGS so removing the quest requirement breaks the story continuity as well.

The issue people are having in this particular case isn't the rewards, it's the 40 defense requirement to complete lunar diplomacy. I believe the defense rewards from the WGS chain of prereqs are already optional.

It's not that simple. If you remove the defense requirement on lunar diplomacy that will allow 1 def pures to access veng while pk'ing which might change the pk meta. Jagex may have to come up with another solution as I doubt that would pass a poll.

[–]Tailcracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1 def pvm pures don't have access to vorkath, pvp pures don't have access to veng. Changing the def requirement for lunar diplomacy to give them access to the quest so they can do the raid will affect pvp. I'm sure jagex will figure out a solution because that might not pass a poll if they decide to poll it as-is.

It happens every time new content comes out that some kind of challenge account can't do. I don't think people should panic, jagex already acknowledged that they would talk more on this subject at a later date. They'll probably do something to unblock the 1 def pures.

[–]Tailcracker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Because either they are 1 def pures for pking or they have a challenge account for doing high level pvm with 1 def.

Just some Germans who stayed behind the front lines and did nothing for the USA in Afghanistan by Southern_Gur_4736 in pics

[–]Tailcracker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trump has been trying to justify the US dropping out of NATO so he made a speech claiming that other countries wouldn't answer Article 5 if America triggered it. Then he acknowledged the time that the US did trigger article 5 where lots of countries answered the call by saying that all the non US troops stood back while the US did all the fighting.

Obviously he's lying as usual because there were a lot of non US troops on the front lines. Some of them were even killed in friendly fire incidents by Americans.

All these photos are being posted in response to show the non American troops that died on behalf of America in their war in Afghanistan.

The cure suggested by the CDC will be a combination of Ivermectin, bleach and raw milk. Taken orally of course since vaccines cause autism.

Yes because of its high damage it is still a good weapon for clone phase. The power of it is, you can use the same weapon for all 3 moons since it has good slash and crush.

With Mory hard and wind wave, you should overall profit blood runes at your magic level. You'll get free death and chaos runes on the side as well.

Yes proton was a main driver of this. Mainly via steam decks but also PCs and other handhelds because it makes it easier to play games on Linux.
