Fuck you, Uncle Ben

I work hard to get a 99 skill for one simple reason: to get the pressure of training it off my back. I had no idea that being a Cape of Accomplishment (CoA) owner brought such responsibilities! For all the CoA, there are certain rules a wearer of such a cape must abide by:

1. You must do the CoA emote whenever asked, no matter what you are doing at the time.

2. You must know everything about the skill you have a CoA and be ready to lend assistance to anyone asking for help. For Quest Cape owners, you must be able, upon demand, to recall every detail of every quest in RuneScape; answer any and all questions about any quest; stop whatever you are doing to babysit someone during a quest.

3. You must answer any and all questions in less than 5 seconds. When you take longer than 5 seconds to answer, you are a no-lifing, n00b loser.

Each CoA also has its own rules. I can only speak of the 4 CoA I own (cooking, fishing, thieving and quest).

Cooking CoA:
- You are a n00b with the n00biest cape in all of Gielinor. No matter the time it took to get this skill to 99, you should feel shame when you wear it.
- You know the closest range and/or fire to a bank.
- You have tons of cooked food to give out to people.
- You will cook any kind of food for anyone asking.

Quest CoA:
- You know everything about every quest and will recall all details when asked.
- You will babysit/bodyguard anyone on any quest at any time.

Fishing CoA:
- You always have raw lobsters and/or sharks, at least 10k of each type, in your bank.
- You will give free fish to anyone asking.
- You will trade raw fish for cooked fish of the same type.

Thieving CoA:
- You have millions of gold coins.
- You did Pyramid Plunder to level.
- You will give out money to anyone who asks and calling the asker a beggar makes you a n00b.
- You should feel shame for wearing the CoA with the lamest emote.

Angel Furies askes me to lend him/her 2M. S/he couldn't understand why I refused. I called him/her a beggar and s/he said s/he wasn't a beggar but asking me to lend him/her 2M. I said I don't give money to strangers.

I farmed today. Just one more sweetcorn planting tonight and I'll move on to other things like slayer.

Yeah, I get it too with Thieving cape.
"Show the emote", of course no "plz"
And after I show they sometime would say:
"Worse emote" or something like that.

The first rule of Capes of Achievement:

Never, under any circumstances, wear the cape!

Worst emote but coolest looking. Should be somone pulling out a shimmery sack of gold from under their capes or something.

Where'd you find these rules? I think I've seen them, they we're written by someone named.. pkmaster0036 (If you follow the rules about QP you should know what I'm talking about :P)?

*taking notes* So you have 10k of raw sharks that you'll just give away for the asking.

Can I have...?

Oh! Scrap that, I haven't the level to cook them.

What?! ;)
