With respect to your answer to Gnomethorian's question regarding the price of seeds... you mentioned that we are still suffering from the effects of BXPW. Indeed. And, as an insight, it is not necessarily the event's fault as much as when the event was held. BXPW was held twice this year. The first time in March around Easter. The second around Labour Day at the beginning of September. Well, it just so happens that when you have a massive resource hungry event such as BXPW right before a lot of your players go back to school and aren't able to play RS so much, you can expect a lag in the economic stabilization. During the summer vacation there are lots of RS players putting in a lot of game time. That means the trade index goes up.... more items bought and sold. If you have a huge event like BXPW, where lots of items sky rocket in price due to lack of supply and over demand, then take away your supply resources by putting all your players in school, the prices will stay high.... there will be an insufficient suppy of goods going back up for sale.
I love BXPW. I love planning for it and saving up resources for months to spend on the weekend. I agree we are feeling the effects a lot longer this time around. This is due to the poor timing. They should have BXPW take place when they expect a lot of players to stay at home and play, like at the beginning of summer vacation or perhaps Christmas vacation, and not at the beginning of the school year.
Great show gentlemen. Keep up the great work.

I toyed with entering the Comic Contest but I decided not to after looking at the strips. The future homepage looks pretty cool. It'd be pretty cool if the background would extend for the biggest Macs. I really hate the Daemonheim background. It takes a guy to notice the chest, which isn't even that big. I don't like horror movies. Heh, I'd listen to the podcast Shane would do. Last Card sounds like Uno.
