RuneScape Where Can You Fish for Lobsters? Fishing Guide for F2P
A fishing guide for free to play members.
Fishing is one of the best money making method for free to play members. You will have nothing when you first start Runescape. You will start in Lumbridge.
First, you should go to the fishing shop in Lumbridge. It is near the general store. Trade the fishing guy and get a free net. Once you've got a net, run south Lumbridge's swamp. Keep fishing shrimps until you can fish trouts. You can either drop the shrimps or cook it and bank it.
Trout and Salmon
Once you have the required level for fishing trouts, collect some feathers and a fly fishing rod. You can get feathers from other players, or you can get them yourselves by killing chickens. You can get a fly fishing rod from other players, or you can get one from a fishing shop. There is a fishing shop at Lumbridge, Varrock and in Port Sarim. After you got everything you need, you can either fish trout and salmon in Barbarian village, or in Lumbridge. If you want to bank the fish, fish in Barbarian village. If you don’t want to bank the fish go to Lumbridge. If you decided to fish in Barbarian village, there is a bank just north of the fishing spot. If you decided to fish in Lumbridge, either sell your fish to the general store or give it for free to other players. You will need to fish 1938 trouts or 1384 salmons to get from level 20-50.
Power leveling or money making?
Power leveling
50-99 – power fishing trout and salmonPower fishing trouts and salmons is the fastest exp for free to play players. I recommend fishing at Lumbridge, because you can get rid all the fish by selling it to the general store, which is close by, or by giving it to low level players who are training nearby. You will need to fish 258,662 trouts or 184,759 salmons to get from level 50-99.
Money making
50-65 – Lobsters
Required items – Lobster pot and 60 gp
You can get a lobster pot from other players, or you can buy one from a fishing shop. Karamja is the only place where f2p can fish lobsters. You will need 30 gp to get on the boat. So you will need 60 gp to go there, and to get back. Once you’re ready, go to Karamja. Fish for lobsters. Make sure you don’t cook them, because raw lobster costs more than cooked lobsters. When your inventory is full, head back. If you forgot to bring an extra 30 gp, you can do a job for a man for 30 gp. The man will tell you to collect 10 bananas and put it inside a crate. Once you done that, talk to him and he will give you 30gp. You will need to fish 3868 lobsters to get from level 50-65.
65-99 – Swordfish
Required items - Harpoon and 60 gp
You can get a harpoon from other players, or you can buy one from a fishing shop. Again, you will need 60 gp to get to Karamja and back. Karamja is the only place where f2p can fish swordfish. While fishing, you will get a lot of tuna. Drop them. Don’t cook the swordfish. They cost more when they’re raw. Once your inventory is full, head back. If you forgot to bring an extra 30 gp, you can do a job for a man for 30 gp. The man will tell you to collect 10 bananas and put it inside a crate. Once you done that, talk to him and he will give you 30gp. You will need to fish 125,851 swordfishes to get from level 65-99.

Should Violent Video Games be Banned? I Believe It Shouldn't be
Should violent video games be banned? This question has been debated for years and years. This is my point of view and if you disagree, feel free to comment below.
Crimes committed by some individuals have brought up the idea to ban violent video games. People have blamed violent video games for deaths and bad influences on their children. I don’t believe violent video games are the causes of these. The biggest influence to children is their parents and the environment they’re living in. Video games can cause depression but there are millions of reasons why someone would either kill themselves or other people.
It is a tragedy whenever a school shooting happens and it is devastating when someone loses their life due to violence, but that doesn’t mean that violent video games should be banned. Instead of blaming video games for violence let’s give credit where credit is due. It is the parents of these children, it is the abuse for which these kids endure, it is the environment for which they grow up in that causes them to commit these acts of violence. School shootings occurred before video games were even created. Children are the really easy to influent. It is the job of parents to make sure that their children are living in a safe environment, and that their children are mature enough to be exposed to the video games images.
Anything can cause a killer to snap, not just violent video games. It is true that some video games cause people to rage but so do sports. Playing sport could cause people to be angry and impulsive. Mark Chapman killed singer john Lennon after reading a book called “Catcher in the Rye”. He claimed that reading the book influenced him to kill John Lennon. Should we ban that too? Regardless of whether or not these video games may put bad images into their heads, the intent to kill is already there and could be triggered by anything from a book to the dog next door. We should not be denied the fun and entertainment of video games because of some fools who sees it as a root of these murders.
There are rare cases of teenagers suiciding because of video games. Even if video games are responsible for these suicides, it doesn’t mean that they won’t die from other things like car crashes or a heart attack. If you ban video games you might as well ban vehicles and other things that could cause someone to die. A lot of people get depressed because of their boyfriend/girlfriend broke up with them and/or cheated on them and that depression leads to suicide. Video games helps depression because it takes your mind off of them. Sports can also help you relieve stress and depression however, sports are more dangerous than video games. If you ban violent video games then you would have to ban boxing. Boxing is more violent than violent video games because boxing is real and video games are virtual.
Tens of millions of people in the world play violent video games but there are not tens of millions of people who are doing the actions in those games. There are some who may do these actions but they are few and idiotic. Their problems and mental issues could just as easily be influenced by violent movies. People say that violent video games are putting bad images into children’s heads but so do books and violent movies and so does the game cowboys and Indians. So should we ban these too? It is the children’s parents job to look after their children properly. Why should everyone have to sacrifice their freedoms because some parents may act irresponsibly? We should not, we deserve our freedoms and we should keep them.

Miss A's Suzy and Shinwa's Eric Become Couples for Invincible Youth 2
Suzy and Eric couples up for Invincible Youth 2.
On the April 21st episode, Shinhwa appeared on set, surprising the G6 girls. Out of the girls, Suzy especially couldn't hide her excitement as she had picked Shinhwa on the previous episode as the guest she’d like to have on the show.
After the appearance of the legendary idol group, the members of Shinhwa and G6 paired up as couples through a unique game. The G6 members bit into apples in ways that they felt represented their individuality. The members of Shinhwa then selected the apple that appealed to them, and became partnered up with the members corresponding to the apples.
Out of the various apples, including one with teeth markings, one with nothing left but seeds, and one bitten into the shape of a heart, Eric chose one that turned out to belong to Suzy.
The two made such a cute couple that other members could not help but comment, “You guys look really good together. It’s a good thing you guys met.”

RuneScape Fastest Way for F2P to Make Money 2012 2M Per Hour!
This is guide for F2p players to make over 2m per hour.
I've been playing Runescape for over 6 years now and I've tried numerous ways to make money. For the first 4 years of playing Runescape, I made money the honest way, chopping magic trees and fishing sharks. Then I tried scamming and I can honestly say that I loved scamming to make money, than doing boring tasks like chopping trees and fishing. You might think this is wrong and would rather spend hours and hours clicking on trees, but if you are part of the 80% of the Runescape community who dislike that, then scamming is the way to go. Not only is scamming efficient but it's also very exciting.
Requirements:Level 70 combat level+ {The higher your combat level, the more efficient this method will be)
Full Rune Trimmed or Gilded. {Make sure you can wear it)
200k Gold
Level 70+ combat friend
Knows how to play the seal game.
A crowded world
Seal Game:
The seal game is a simple game of odd and even. You must have the seal emote if you want to be the host. The player will bet on whether the number on the seal will be odd or even. They will give the host their bet and the host will use the seal emote. To determine whether the number is odd or even, the host must look at the back of the seal. On the seal should be one number. The number could be 1-6. If the player called it right, the host was give the player double their bet. If the player loses then the host keeps the money.
Method:
1. Being level 70+ in combat and wearing full rune trimmed or gilded will create a false impression of you. People will think you are rich and therefore more trustworthy and will not betray them. Go to Varrock with your friend and head to the entrance of the Grand Exchange. You will see lots of people playing the seal game.
2. Bring at least 200k gold and wear your full rune trimmed/gilded. Tell people you are hosting a seal game, and the minimum they can bet is 10k. Pretend to play with your friend. Make sure you guys talk a lot and pretend his betting like 50k first. Pretend you lose to him and then pretend your friend is betting 500k. Make sure everyone around you knows about this. This will attract many of your victims. Wish your friend good luck and that he's betting 500k. Pretend he wins and by now people should trust you a lot.
3. Once you've got some customers, don't scam them if they bet less than 30k. If you've taken over 5 bets less than 30k, than tell people that your increasing the minimum bet because it's not exciting. Tell your friend to bet again, this time betting 1m. Pretend he wins and tell people the minimum bet is now 100k. Once you've got a customer, take his money and just ignore him. Trade another person and once you've got their money, ignore that person as well. After scamming 2 people they should be angry and flaming you calling you a scammer. Keep trading with people who wants to play and when you've got all their money just log out. Wait for about 30 minutes and rinse and repeat.
This process usually takes me about 15 minutes to do and I because I don't always lose, I make about 150k during the build up process. My highest record is getting over 900k before logging out. The key to success is to talk a lot. Encourage people to play with you. Enjoy making easy money and thanks for reading.

Conflict Allows Us to Reflect on What is Important in Our Lives
Encountering conflict is an inevitable facet of human existence. From
conflict, individuals and societies may be challenged and developed in
terms of social and moral values and beliefs. Based on the testimony of
survivors, Bruce Beresford's feature film Paradise Road, highlights the
potential of conflict to enable an individual to re-evaluate their
beliefs and morals. The film portrays a group of woman who survive the
bombing and sinking of the ship to Singapore only to be captured as
prisoners of war. It is in these hellish prison camps where they face
their harshest test of courage and survival and show is their incredible
will to live. They unite, despite their racial and cultural differences
to learn about what is really important: friendship and community
spirit.
The Crucible - Roles of Grudges/personal Rivalries
Discuss the role that grudges and personal rivalries play in the witch trials.
Millers play The Crucible, set in Puritan Salem in 1692, was written as a metaphor for McCarthyism in 1950; USA. Miller suggests that persecution can occur at any time or place, and that the real tragedy lies in people who lose their integrity under social pressure. Whilst many citizens of Salem lost their sense of decency, the underlying cause for this witch hunt was a result of personal rivalries and grudges.
The trials and hysteria in The Crucible occur against the backdrop of a deeply religious, superstitious and theocratic society. However many of the long feuds and rivalries are not based on religion. Salem residents take advantage of this situation to exact revenge on their enemies. Abigail Williams, the original source of the hysteria, has a grudge against Elizabeth Proctor. She was discharged from the Proctor's household for having an affair with Elizabeth's husband, John Proctor. Abigail is the villain of the play, she tells lies and manipulates her friends and the town. She also sent nineteen innocent people to death. Abigail's whores vengeance was driven by jealousy, sexual desire and lust for power. She chooses to act on her own self-interest and perpetuates the witch trials.
The Crucible explores the conflict between individuals and the community. Vengeance is the number factor for many accusations. Thomas Putnam is another proponent of the witch craft hysteria as he holds long standing grudges against others. The witch trials not only gave Thomas Putnam the opportunity to exact revenge, but also to profit economically from others executions. Miller as the narrator often interrupts the dialogue to give the audience an insight to the characters past, for example, Putnam's attempt to appoint his relative as minister of Salem, and subsequent failure to do so, add to his grieving with the people of Salem. Furthermore, Thomas Putnam prompts his daughter to cry witchery upon his neighbour, so that he could buy up the land and profit economically. Miller establishes that rivalry and grudges lead to accusations and conviction of innocent people. These grudge create tension which tears the community apart.
Certain individuals in Salem used the witch trial hysteria to make scape goats of others, and thereby strengthen their position within the community. Reverend Parris, an insecure and paranoid figure is an example. Parris strongly believes that the townsfolk hates him and is fearful that the community will discover that his niece and daughter were dancing in the woods. The townsfolk do not trust Parris and see him as a hypocrite who preaches hell and damnation. This disunity and mistrust of their leadership, makes an unstable society where people question the reliability of their faith. Thus rivalry and personal vendettas fuel the hysteria of the witch trials in Salem.
The personal rivalries and grudges held by the citizens of Salem leads to a breakdown in the society of this theocratic society. Miller illustrates that the ability of people to choose a position that suits their self interest and shift the blame to others, together with the perversion of the justice system, can result in anarchy and rebellion. Miller suggests that the conflict between good and evil is a timeless conflict and that it's important for individuals to have a strong moral centre and uphold their personal integrity.

Miller establishes that rivalry and grudges lead to accusations and conviction of innocent people. These grudge create tension which tears the community apart.
Certain individuals in Salem used the witch trial hysteria to make scape goats of others, and thereby strengthen their position within the community. Reverend Parris, an insecure and paranoid figure is an example. Parris strongly believes that the townsfolk hates him and is fearful that the community will discover that his niece and daughter were dancing in the woods. The townsfolk do not trust Parris and see him as a hypocrite who preaches hell and damnation. This disunity and mistrust of their leadership, makes an unstable society where people question the reliability of their faith. Thus rivalry and personal vendettas fuel the hysteria of the witch trials in Salem.
The personal rivalries and grudges held by the citizens of Salem leads to a breakdown in the society of this theocratic society. Miller illustrates that the ability of people to choose a position that suits their self interest and shift the blame to others, together with the perversion of the justice system, can result in anarchy and rebellion. Miller suggests that the conflict between good and evil is a timeless conflict and that it's important for individuals to have a strong moral centre and uphold their personal integrity.
