Rockburgh I have a tendency to just log in on my laptop from time to time and hop into random discussions that I can never find again. (Hopefully that will change soon.) It's fun, though I don't really quite understand how everything works yet.

Do you ever....

ajalitus @ajalitus (127) • United States 27 Feb 12

Do you ever sleep so late that you mess up your sleep rhythms? I find myself sleeping late on some nights and I wake up at around 1 pm...and I basically can't go to sleep until really late at night, which offsets my sleep even...

Rockburgh Oh, definitely-- I'm fairly certain this happens to almost everyone. Only this weekend I went a whole night without sleeping. Had a good night's rest since then, but all day had trouble staying awake, because my body just can't keep track. It happens to...

TheIrishClog @TheIrishClog (985) • Ireland 27 Feb 12

That's the latest from Ireland folks - ESB/Electric Ireland are now going to start charging those using little to no electricity extra money...? What? How does this make any sense? Sure, they're saying that it's mostly...

Rockburgh It seems most likely to me that the company wants to send out a charge for administrative services. They still have to go over you in the registry, run maintenance, and so on-- if you aren't paying them for anything else, they should at least be paid for the...

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 26 Feb 12

Everyone knows how the notifications have been on the fritz on and off for a while now. I mentioned to a friend of mine one day here that I was worried that some of my friends here might think I was rude if they had responded to...

On the subject of the MLP & Brony Phenomena sweeping across the internet

Lunardoom @Lunardoom (1) 7 Dec 11

Recently the whole My Little Pony: Friendship is magic subject has caught my attention. It's been bombarded with criticism just as much as it has been received with open arms by others. On the side of criticism is the claim that...

Rockburgh MLP:FiM is quite frankly one of the absolute best things to happen to society in the past decade. Almost everyone who follows that series becomes a better person overall. The show preaches strong character values and points out flaws in society that more than...

what do you like about the kingdom heart games?

Swadey @Swadey (220) • Canada 2 Oct 09

I just love the storys i think that the story is so well written and i think that its really cool that there is disney and final fantasy characters all mixed into this story, also there is like everything in this story theres...

Rockburgh Personally, although the story is nice, it's the gameplay that really does it for me, most particularly that something new is added every game. Birth By Sleep's command system is my favorite yet, because sheer magnitude of the possibilities.

How do you make money?

Palone5 @Palone5 (46) • United States 7 Jan 12

I have been playing RuneScape for about 4 years and my total bank worth is about 33m. I made my money in may different ways, for instance my Misscellania Kingdom earns me about 1m a week for doing nothing. I wanted to know how you...

Rockburgh Quite frankly, it seems to me that among the simplest methods of earning a bit of quick cash is to sell clay. At last check (which was admittedly some time ago) plain clay went for about 300 gold per unit on the Exchange. The Varrock southwest mine is good for...

poem writing

nyang1984 @nyang1984 (464) • Philippines 21 Feb 12

hi! lotters, i would like to ask if is it possible to write a poem in just one stanza??? in my previous discussion, i mentioned there that i hope i can write again. and yes, just last night i made it. but am a little bit...

Rockburgh I see absolutely no reason that would you would not be able to write a single-stanza poem, Nyang. Formatting is almost entirely up to the writer, and freeform is perfectly acceptable. Poetry is not one specific style, but whatever we see it as.

Rockburgh I think I'm going to have to agree with the majority here and say that what they did was inherently wrong. If you have not already done so, please report this to local legal authorities.

How to start an online multiplayer server

How do I start an online multi-player server? I've been trying for awhile now and just can't seem to get it up and running.

Rockburgh While Hamachi can be a useful tool for this, it is not necessary. However, if you decide against using it, you will have to run a port forward, which is both difficult and dangerous. Hamachi might run a bit more slowly, but if you're trying for a private...

One Big Grind

Bamboroo @Bamboroo (15) • Canada 10 Oct 11

I have played Runescape for many years. At first, it was amazingly fun. Killing monsters, workings up all of my trade skills, questing for gold and new items. After a little while, it became bring, and i saw it for what it truly...

Rockburgh Oh, Runescape can get a bit grindy at times, that's for sure. It's all about how you play, though. Any combat scenario is inherently more enjoyable, because of the risk involved. You have to be calm and evaluate risk versus reward, instead of just mindlessly...

Rockburgh A target? I'm afraid I don't quite understand, Anne. The only real purpose on MyLot is to actually enjoy yourself, and help others if you can. There's a lot to do here; it shouldn't be blurred with specific goals and objectives.

Rockburgh This is actually a rather good idea. However, you need to learn to quickly establish all relevant information, and find a means of adding tension to a story within that limit. Take as an example the following piece. The six stood in darkness. The storm...

Is this just shallow attention seeking or more?

katerina @thea09 (18305) • Greece 23 Oct 09

Rockburgh It seems to me that this situation is, as you put it, "just shallow attention-seeking." This may not be true in all cases, though; it's an extremely situational topic, and I can't make any guarantees either way. Basically, some people want nothing more than...

Rockburgh I know someone who's quite possibly the pickiest eater in the state. (New Jersey.) Until recently, he refused to eat anything other than bread, cheese (mozzarella only), and pizza. (White only.) He's started to branch out lately, though. Now he's willing to...
