Habbo: Hacked HOT!COOL!BOY-
Bit of a crap haul apart from dice. Account was only made yesterday so a bit suspicious...
Habbo: Finished Pet Accessories and Ecotron
The latest addition to my rooms came with the release of the "Ecotron", a place in the catalog that turns masses of old furniture into special new furniture!
10 Furni = 20 Game Tickets.
20 Furni = Palm chair.
30 Furni = Water Garden.
50 Furni = Polar Sofa.
Also, had to spend ages getting all stages of pet food, since part eaten food cannot be traded, so had to wait for pets to eat it. Yawn.

Zombies
Woot, just bought Shaun Of The Dead from Woolworths for £5, gonna watch it again in a few days. Woot!
1m Members
Wow, Runescape finally passed the 1m members mark! Most of these members are American, so I'll work out Jagex's profit in $.
1 000 000 x $5 = $5m per month.
$5m x 12 = $60m per year.
Site hosting = Maybe $50 a year.
Game Upkeep = Maybe $200k MAXIMUM a year.
------------------------------------
$59 999 750 PROFIT!
Fizziwig2006's contribution: £3.20 a month.

Pay-a-Pixel
Come across these sort of sites before (pay to advertise), thought I might as well list them.
Million Dollar Homepage - 1million pixels, a dollar each. Every single one has been bought, therefore owner has made $1m for a very simple idea.
Add a brick - Unlimited amount, but doesn't really have any potential as there seem to be no special bricks being added (e.g. doors, windows etc). Also, why did "CJ" pay $250 and put up that rubbish banner linking to his page on a free site hosting service?
Gratis Million - An earlier Million Dollar Homepage, but isn't in English so is losing UK and USA customers, probably the biggest source of buyers.
En Million - An earlier Gratis Million, has hardly any customers, why don't they put it in English too!
Pixel Lotto - Seemed a bit complicated, apparently you can win the $1m raised, not sure how that would work though. It's from the same people that made Million Dollar Homepage, and is in English, getting a lot more buyers than the non-english ones, starting to see a pattern.
Zero Dollar Homepage - You can't buy any!
Million Masterpiece - My favourite, because all money raised goes to charity! Click the question mark in the top right hand of the picture and select one of the pictures, some are very funny, all are random. Also, they are all individual people's drawings, not big companies buying all the space.
Pixel Ads For All - Quite a nice one as it offers a free 100x100 pixel space to advertise when your pixel is moused over. This allows companies to put up a large advert, without using up any of the space.
Million Pixel Click - Seem very friendly, appear to be giving away half the space for free if you link to them, so placed a link on the toolbar. Will update when I find out if I was accepted or not!
Here is what I sent by the way:
Million Dollars Pixel - Animations are allowed, which is a big improvement, I especially like the Mad Smiley and the apparently Swimming Tree! They seem to be very unpopular though, only 7 visitors today, maybe it's because of their messy layout?
Billion Dots - Similar to all the others, except on the moon! Also, good to see my old favourite YetiSports advertising on there!
Make Me Mortgage Free - Basically, you are paying this guy's mortgage for him! You choose where you want to buy, e.g bathroom, bedroom etc. Makes a nice change!

Achievement Diary
Just read about the Achievement Diary on the Runescape homepage, looks as if it will be very, very good!
Ever wondered what to do next? With the growing number of things to do in RuneScape, it’s no wonder that most of us spend a fair amount of time just imagining all the things we want to achieve. We've been thinking that it would be great to have a list of all the things you could do, and give some reward for doing them all. Naturally, this would be a huge project to release in one go, so starting the proceedings this month we will be bringing you… the Achievement Diary – Karamja Jungle Tasks.
Found in the quest interface, the diary button will display a list (similar to the music and quest list) of all the various tasks you can do in and around Brimhaven and the Karamja jungle. These tasks will be categorised as easy, medium or hard tasks, and completing each set will give you access to new rewards such as teleports, better shop prices and increased Agility rewards in the Brimhaven Agility Arena. Easy tasks could be as simple as using the rope swing to get to the moss giant island, a medium task involves more skill (like trapping a horned graahk) while hard tasks include becoming the champion of the TzHaar Fight Pits!
Look out for more parts of the achievement diary to be released in the future!

Inspiration come to me
Following from last post about autoers, trying to think of ways to stop them.
So far:
Harder / More randoms? - No, would be annoying and autoers would find ways around.
Combat level limit on guild? - No, would be unfair on skillers.
Update to tutorial island? - Possibly, maybe have it split into, say, 5 sections, and they are in random order, stopping autoers hopefully, but still allowing guides to be written.
Update fishing? - Possibly, but fishing is pretty nice as it is, means I can do other things whilst I fish. But, I suppose, that helps autoers.
Make it harder for autos to react? - Possibly, maybe have it so that the message comes up in the chat screen or something, so only humans would notice it?
Well, until Jagex works something out, I'm gonna keep on thinking, and keep on reporting all autoers I see. Unfortunately, I can only report one every 60 seconds, so some manage to escape me =P

Attenshun + How I hate autoers.
Finally got full camo =)
Rawr, trying to think up a way to get rid of these stupid fishing autoers.
