Magma2050 is a gestalt entity that has spread itself liberally across the internet creating things in its wake. It manifests itself within the world of RuneScape as Magma25. It is not entirely sure why it is currently referring to itself in the third person.

[edit] RuneScape Profile

I started playing this game some time between the 15th and 20th of April 2004 when the Underground Pass was already out but enchantable rings were not. I became a member at the end of July 2004 after completing all of the free-to-play quests. When I started playing members I still had a Ranged level of 1 as can be seen in this screenshot of one of the last few days of my free-to-play time just before I finished Dragon Slayer (hence the adamantite platebody). I had only fired three arrows in my entire time on free-to-play; all three were fired on Tutorial Island in order to pass the training and get on with the rest of the game.

Before the overhaul of the graphics to include more head and clothing options, my character used to have orange spiky hair and beard, maroon top with big piratey cuffs, and plum trousers again with big piratey turnups. When they added more options I tried to design something a bit better, and finally settled on something that looked just right (there is a picture, coincidentally, just right).

A couple of weeks later I was going through some of my old Magic: The Gathering cards and noticed that I had subconsciously made my character the spitting image of Gerrard Capashen, hero and saviour of Dominaria. The resemblance was quite striking, even down to the bracers.

While playing RuneScape I try to make most of my decisions about what to do based on the belief that XP > GP (Though sometimes a balance between profit and experience is beneficial, if I can't choose both I choose XP). I like to make sure that I know exactly how much work I have to do to get to the next level in skills. As such, I have built a massive Excel spreadsheet that draws my XP data from the RuneScape hiscores-lite pages and dumps it all into a sortable table with a nice graphical display of all my skills' current levels. Data from each skill filters to its own specific worksheet within the spreadsheet, each designed to let me know how many operations I need to perform to reach any level I specify. On top of that I have built into it a resettable timer that lets me know how long it is until I can do a repeatable task (such as Bork slaying or collecting buckets of sand from Bert), a Pest Control XP calculator that automatically adjusts to my levels, a Pizazz points calculator, a Revenant threat-range display showing what can attack me in what locations, a hitpoint regeneration table, and a few other little experiments that may become fully fledged worksheets of their own. I recently managed to make it capable of accounting for the user's time zone relative to the U.K. so that events that reset at midnight can be accounted for regardless of where you are in the world. This is not for me as I live in the U.K. myself, but now I can pass it on to friends around the world who can then get as much out of it as I do. In adding this functionality, I discovered that the International Space Station uses UTC (The same time zone as me). Kudos to you if you are playing RuneScape from there; I imagine the internet bill is quite high.

[edit] Routine

Usually, unless there's some new content that I need to get through (such as a quest or some update that can provide me with better equipment) I will do the following things before anything else:

[edit] Daily

Wear my Varrock armour 3 and buy up all the 64 battlestaves that Zaff has.
Get the local fairy ring to CIP, and pop a coal out of Miscellania's mine to keep the peasants happy. If I have a Spirit Tree grown in Etceteria I will travel there via the Varrock Spirit Tree instead, keep the peasants happy by weeding the farming patch there, and pick 4 poison ivy berries from the bush growing nearby.
Get the boat at Miscallania's docks to Rellekka, then sail off to Lunar Isle and buy all the battlestaves that Baba Yaga sells.
Teleport back to Edgeville, get Ardougne teleport runes, get good anti-magic defence armour out and go kill Bork.
Teleport directly to Ardougne from Bork's cavern and either (a) check the health of, or (b) kill and replant, my Jade vine. Immediately recharge prayer at Ardougne's temple.
Pick up my 150 free Pure Essence from Wizard Cromperty.
Get my activated Ring of charos, charm my way to Brimhaven for free, and claim my 40 free pineapples from Dell Monti wearing my Karamja gloves 3. On the way, pick all the fruit off my fruit tree and calquat tree on the island.
Teleport to my house in Yanille, exit and claim my buckets of sand from Bert.
Go back in my house and through the Camelot portal, put on my Seers' headband 3 and go get my daily flax from Geoffrey.
Run South to Catherby, talk to Arhein and buy all the seaweed and pineapples I can.
Using the grapple route over to Taverley, the spiked floor shortcut in Taverley dungeon, and the grapple route back to Catherby from the Water Obelisk, quickly make enough fire orbs for my battlestaves at the nearby Fire Obelisk.
Teleport to Varrock and put the flax on the Grand Exchange. Craft all my fire battlestaves and alch the lot. Buy replacement cosmic and nature runes if necessary.

[edit] Weekly

Wednesday: Go perform at Balthazar Beauregard's Big Top Bonanza, and then go find all the penguin spies and the PBJ agent in Penguin Hide and Seek. Spend all the penguin points on Construction (currently giving me 36,400 xp per week).
Friday: Go take 525,000 coins to Advisor Ghrim and collect my weekly loot of 6,250 maple logs, 62 bird nests, 1543 raw tuna, 462 raw swordfish and a handful of gemstones, caskets, treasure trail clues and crystal key halves. Empty the bird nests, sell the rings to the Rogue in Varrock, grind down the bird nests and make all the Saradomin brews that I can, sell the rest of the nests along with the brews that are surplus to my requirements. Sell the maple logs, the raw fish and all the tree seeds below willow/papaya. Plant all the other tree seeds over the next few days, ensuring willows are in place in all available tree spots for collecting Willow branches to sell.
Sunday: Go collect secondary ingredients for all the charms I received from Bork during the week, then make all the pouches. Go see Bogrog and swap as many of the pouches as I can for shards.
Whenever: Go do Tears of Guthix. All XP will be going on Prayer (too slow and expensive to train) until it catches up with Hunter. I am leaving Hunter at level 80 because it's enough for Stealing Creation, I don't really care about Dragon Implings (I have seen very few in my entire time playing, and a swig of hunter potion now lets me catch them) and I don't like any of my choices of (a) Crowded red chinchompas, (b) Black salamanders that constantly require emptying from inventory, (c) Dashing kebbits that also require constant emptying, and (d) Papaya-eating pawya and pawya-eating grenwalls.

[edit] Achieved Goals

Summoning 80: This got me into Stealing Creation with all relevant skills at 80+ making all class 5 items and resources available to me. This enabled me to get morphic tools at speed.

Smithing 99: Morphic hammers got me the cape in a fraction of the time and for about 15 million coins from the starting point of training at level 91. The increased cost is mostly down to buying adamantite bars and bypassing the smelting process entirely making platebodies for speed - I can make the money back spending that smelting time slaying instead. This will feed back into Construction, as I am levelling using armour stands (highest xp/gp for oak planks) and rune armour stands give a better value for money than the adamantite ones. The money saved on the Construction cape won't quite make up for the money spent on the Smithing cape, but it's another cape down so what the heck.

Magic 94: Ice Barrage. 'Nuff said.

Agility 80: This lets me use the shortest shortcut under Taverley and make water orbs all the faster, for Hydra pouches (sped up even more by the grapple routes to and from Catherby).

Woodcutting 99: It was 96 by the time I thought I should finish it off, and not too difficult to train. I had a magic tree planted in the Gnome Stronghold, which I could regrow using a Hydra if both it and the adjacent 'public' magic tree had been cut down. The proximity of the mini-obelisk enabled recharges when my hydras vanished, and the spirit tree let me get my quota of two evil trees per day easily.

Stealing Creation will be instrumental in this. Morphic hammers get me the cape in half the time and for only 15 million coins rather than 30 million.

Always helps to have these as high as possible. I'm going to try and keep the melee skills even so I can have a triple-cape day.

[edit] Bartle Quotient

I've taken the Bartle Test and I work out to be 93% Explorer, 53% Socialiser, 47% Achiever and 7% Killer. According to the results, Explorers with Achiever as their secondary trait are completionists who like to tick things off as they have done them (RuneScape does that for me but I do like to see fields of green in my quest, music and achievement diary lists), while Explorers with a secondary trait in Socialiser tend to find out things and put them on wiki sites for everyone else to learn (Aaaand here I am).

[edit] Random things that have popped into my head

What is it with dogs and sticks?

Maybe it's because I've spent a long time playing a Paladin character in Dungeons & Dragons, but every time I see a road sign that says "CAUTION: LORRIES TURNING" I get an image in my head of an 18-wheeler repelling undead with an aura of holy rightiousness.

Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near? If they happen to be vultures it may well be because you smell like carrion.

How clever could the aliens in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" have actually been if they had communication systems that relied on sound waves, attached to the outer hull of spaceships?

I really liked the irony of the film "Last Action Hero". You have this boy explaining to a fictional movie character how ridiculous his world is by pointing out all of the impossible or highly improbable things that happen in it. This is after the boy happens to find a magic cinema ticket that lets him enter the movie world...

Diamonds are forever? Hardly. They chip, wear, can be burned or dissolved... To be technically correct, the song should really be called "Diamonds are a metastable allotrope of carbon".

If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is around to hear it, does it make a sound? No. Absolutely not. It will create vibrational waves through the air - patterns of compressed and rarefied air radiating away from the point of impact, but these are not sound. Sound is the sensation that a being experiences when such a wave enters an ear-like structure, and the movement of that structure by the wave is transduced into electrical signals that are then interpreted by the brain of that being. Some analogies of the question:

"If something radiates light but nobody is around to see it, does it produce a vision?"
"If something makes a noxious vapour but it does not enter a nose, does it produce a smell?"
"If something produces sugar but it does not make contact with a tongue, does it produce a taste?"

When put into those analogies it is clear that the answer on all counts must be "no". SCIENCE > ZEN.

If Snake Plissken from "Escape from New York" and "Escape from L.A." was pitted in a fight to the death with Riddick from "Pitch Black" and "The Chronicles of Riddick", who would survive? I think probably both of them would survive long enough to realise what was going on, then very briefly team up just long enough to hunt down the person that kidnapped them and put them there, and teach him a very severe and terminal lesson.

Someone asked me what I thought a "cult game" was. I decided that it was either a game that everyone plays but doesn't like admitting, or possibly something like pass the parcel but with a chicken and when the music stops whoever has the chicken sacrifices it.

I am always amused by people who misspell the word "Rogue" (meaning renegade, bandit, fugitive) for the word "Rouge" (French for "Red", usually meaning powdery red blusher). Every time I read "Star Wars: Rouge Squadron" it makes me chuckle as I imagine a bunch of X-Wing pilots in heavy makeup.

Whoever said "Whatever doesn't kill you, makes you stronger" really hadn't given due consideration to Polio.

There are three things that make something great. They are: Dragons, Lasers and Ninjas.

"As I was going to St Ives, I met a man with seven wives. Each wife had seven sacks. Each sack had seven cats, Each cat had seven kits. Kits, cats, sacks, wives; how many were going to St Ives?" - Most people say one person, as you passed the rest and they must have been going the other way. I say that with that much of an entourage, and given the period the puzzle is set, they must have been in some kind of horse-drawn waggon while I would either be on foot or on horseback, making me much slower or faster than them. Therefore it is quite possible for one of us to pass the other while still travelling in the same direction.

There should be a word for the feeling of disappointment felt when picking up a mug to drink out of it, only to realise you just finished the last of the drink out of it last time you picked it up, and that there is nothing left. There is no disappointment quite like it.

Every time Captain Picard from Star Trek: The Next Generation says "Fire at will!", in my head the entire bridge turns round and shoots at Commander William Riker, who whispers "Why.....?" before collapsing in a heap on the floor.

The man that sang that song proclaiming "I can get a record player, and a generator; generate the music that makes you feel better" really didn't think things through. In addition he would need an amplifier, some speakers, some cables to connect the three together, an extension cord with multiple sockets, and considering they are far enough away from civilisation to prevent him from plugging it into the mains he will need a hefty car to transport the lot to wherever it is going. On top of all that, it's probably going to be difficult to get hold of all that person's favourite music on vinyl, and listening to it over the generator noise would be horrible. All very impractical. I fully expect a sequel song called "Oh, to hell with all this - I'll just buy you an Ipod."

I'm not entirely sure how a savannah-dwelling creature like the lion gets to be "King of the Jungle". Maybe it commutes.

Whose bright idea was it to make it so computers that have no working keyboard attached say "Keyboard Error. Press F1 to resume"?

I think that for the sake of innovation in music, anyone who wishes to use a sample of someone else's work should first be forced to wrestle a copy of the original free from its position after it has been glued to the chest hair of a hungry bear.

Why is it that the more incapacitatingly strong an alcoholic drink is, the more top heavy and precarious the glass is that it is traditionally served in?
