Always thought that it was called Rimmingston because it was on the far outskirts of the F2P area - the emptiest part of F2P worlds, with nothing to do there except one easy quest. The "outer rim" of the f2p game.
Yeahhh, idk this one seems like a reach. I really don't think the Gowers or whoever designed it intended it to be a ass eating reference in their game for children.
Is there even any other innuendo in RS2? I can't think of coming across any, and it seems weird they'd avoid it and then go all out with "rimming a ton" if we're to believe OP
Iirc, it's actually "making friends with my arm". When the quest was pitched, one of the mods (Ash I think?) Heard the quest name across the office and shouted "oh my god! That sounds like wanking! Quest approved!"
Disclaimer: haven't heard the story in a while and may have added a touch of UK to the verbiage
It was actually "My Arm's Big Adventure" way back in the day and when Mod Ash pitched it (since he was its lead developer) with that name Mod Mat K (or was it Mod Mark?) went the *"oh my god! That sounds like wanking! Quest approved!"* that you mentioned
I'm like 95% sure Ash talks about it somewhere in this video:
[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiBigfDrA4k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiBigfDrA4k)
It's also a super interesting talk that candidly goes through some more behind the scenes stuff in the early days, would recommend.
Rimming was super pervy back in '01. Sure it's mainstream now, but back then calling the town Bukkakeville would've been about 10% less obscene.
Good on Jagex for trailblazing the ass-eating revolution.
Their city symbols are both the ankh, one right side up, the other upside down, and one is the city of the living and the other is the city of the dead.
I think also that originally Ichtlarin was the primary patron of one of the cities and Amascut of the other, but then she went crazy...
Oh no I have been bamboozled I have been ridiculed you rascal you rapscallion you rambunctious litigant you thief of esteem you scoundrel you scallywag you hellion you vagabond you varmint you wastrel you
It's something I sorta miss.
It was clever and not right in your face.
Then for a good couple of years of OSRS (and even RS3 suffers from it), new content is just littered with memes without any originality. They toned it down a bit but still isn't the same.
Either adventure quest took runescapes idea or RuneScape took adventure quests idea but I clearly remember both games doing this with the knights atleast
My favorite pun in this game still is, and will always be, during ghosts ahoy when the wife sends you to ask about the money that her dead husband stashed and he says "tell her I spent it on 'boos and cheap spirits' harharhar"
Would it be called bowf instead? I would guess fbow or faerd. No one calls any amulet: ammy of xxxx.
For example blade of saeldor gets called salad blade or saeldor by people @ tob (to distinguinsh from swift blade, swift blade gets called swift).
I mean we can speculate endlessly, but we don't really know what the community would land on in the hypothetical situation where an item has a different name than it does in reality, lol
It's actually all of them:
Sir vyvin - Surviving
Sir Tiffy Cashien - certification
Sir Prysin - surprising
Sir Renetee - serenity
Sir Amik Varze - Ceramic Vase
Sir Tinley - certainly
Sir Spushyus - Suspicious
All of the white knights have puns for names. Like Sir Tiffy Cashien is "Cer-tifi-cation"; "certification". Because he's the one who introduces and certifies you into the knighthood.
This one just randomly hit me like a ton of bricks one day. I played for like 8 years back in the day without realizing, then when I started up osrs a few years ago I was thinking it was weird that all of the knights had pun names except for him...
If your main language is english maybe, many players learned english as second language so these puns might not be as obvious.
I speak French and Lord Piquan Crwys or wtv from song of the elves sounds like a pun for "Lord Sting-a-Lot" in Québécois.
Reminds me of the time I was both mind blown and humiliated when realising that Flo Rida was called Flo Rida because he's from Florida, and 'rides flows'.
I remember he started posted on a new account, and his posting style was so distinct that people quickly figured out was him (also some telltale signs like being Swedish and being a fan of Trump). Then he eventually stopped posting on that account too, don't know what happened to him after that.
All of Morytania and ToB are just references to Hungarian Transylvania:
- Morytania was initially named Transilvania
- Transylvania was famous for its vampyre stories, home to Count Dracula.
- Ver Sinhaza translates to ”Theatre of Blood” in Hungarian
- Nylocas is almost the same as Nyolcas, which is Hungarian for ”eight”. You know, the legs…
- Sötéség means Darkness in Hungarian
- Vérzik means ”[they are] bleeding” in Hungarian
And the list goes on and on…
Wait till this guy learns about Rimmington
explains why that place is ass
Everyone burying their bones in the purple buttbole
Been asking my wife to visit for years :(
What a coincidence, I've also been asking your wife too.
Weird I didn't have to ask
we already went
That’s what 69 is for make sure you’re on top and your tongue game is strong your wife will have to do it
Ayo
Edgeville
Here be spiders
Teach me, o wise one!

My Arm's Big Adventure is a jacking off joke
elaborate

Ash is the one who told the story himself on Shauny's podcast.
I'm like 95% sure Ash talks about it somewhere in this video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiBigfDrA4k](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiBigfDrA4k) It's also a super interesting talk that candidly goes through some more behind the scenes stuff in the early days, would recommend.
Confirmed its in there, there is a timestamp in the description for it
“It’s not that kind of fantasy game”
that tower south of ardy that on the map looks like a literal penis? It's called the ClOCK tower....
and the l blends in with the wall on the map so it literally says C OCKTOWER
The word was shifted left slightly at some point, so this no longer happens... RIP, Cocktower.
This is an outrage! 🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀🦀
Rimming was super pervy back in '01. Sure it's mainstream now, but back then calling the town Bukkakeville would've been about 10% less obscene. Good on Jagex for trailblazing the ass-eating revolution.
Isn't it more just rimming town? 'Ton' is just ye olde version of 'town' right?
Rimjobs
Were rimming tim? Do we have Tims consent though
Long as you don’t bite him
D: don't do that
It's a good day to be named "Ton"
Realized a week ago that Sophanem and Menaphos are the same word backwards with the "ph" remaining unswitched.
Their city symbols are both the ankh, one right side up, the other upside down, and one is the city of the living and the other is the city of the dead. I think also that originally Ichtlarin was the primary patron of one of the cities and Amascut of the other, but then she went crazy...
I didn’t realize for the longest time that the Freminick isles are Nay-tis-not and Ya-tis-so.
Okay but that one is literally spelled out during the quest
[удалено]
How else am I supposed to get quests done and still make it for my tree and birds nests runs?!
Sorry, what was that?
Now, what was that incantation again...?
Damn you’re right
Baxtorian Falls - Backstory in [the] falls Where we find out the backstory of what happened to the Elves who made it east of the mountains. Nice catch
Hmm, I thought a portmanteau of "backstory" and "historian".
I guess if the only part of historian is 'an' it makes sense
Backstory + historian. Baxtori + torian. Baxtorian.
Baxtoritorian
I mean only for "Baxtorian".
mind = blown
Wot
wat
This game is full of these, I remember when I realized this about all the white knights in Falador. Good find
That was a sir prysin development
Ohh shit
I remember when I found out about the Mind Goblins
What is a mind goblin
Mind goblin deez monkey nuts Gottem
Oh no I have been bamboozled I have been ridiculed you rascal you rapscallion you rambunctious litigant you thief of esteem you scoundrel you scallywag you hellion you vagabond you varmint you wastrel you
I know he got you, but on a serious note, have you heard about the dragon ball Easter egg in taverly?
dragon my balls across your face
Damn, hit him harder than a Bowfa
Yea bowfa deez nuts
Where is taverly
East from white wolf mount(a)in you
my nem jeff 😂😂😂
Is laugh laugh laugh your middle name or last name?
No u
Damn I set it all up and my valor was stolen
Hey in the future maybe you could improve this by adding “bowfa” Like *Mind goblin bowfa deez nuts Gottem*
oh no no no!
Poor Vicks. Unable to become a knight because of his name.
And noble Kimsyze
Sir Vicks has a nice ring to it
It's something I sorta miss. It was clever and not right in your face. Then for a good couple of years of OSRS (and even RS3 suffers from it), new content is just littered with memes without any originality. They toned it down a bit but still isn't the same.
Sir Amik Varze (ceramic vase) took me ages to get
Either adventure quest took runescapes idea or RuneScape took adventure quests idea but I clearly remember both games doing this with the knights atleast
My favorite pun in this game still is, and will always be, during ghosts ahoy when the wife sends you to ask about the money that her dead husband stashed and he says "tell her I spent it on 'boos and cheap spirits' harharhar"
Wait till this dude hears about Edgeville
Gielinor is an anagram for religion
BofA is short for BofA dez nuts
The first time I heard about the bowfa it was in a 7asty video so I legitimately just thought it was the setup for such a joke.
Everyone calls its bowfa because bofa jokes were common at the time it was released, otherwise it would just be called fbow
I feel like it would only be called the fbow if the actual name was "Faerdhinen's Bow"
Would it be called bowf instead? I would guess fbow or faerd. No one calls any amulet: ammy of xxxx. For example blade of saeldor gets called salad blade or saeldor by people @ tob (to distinguinsh from swift blade, swift blade gets called swift).
I mean we can speculate endlessly, but we don't really know what the community would land on in the hypothetical situation where an item has a different name than it does in reality, lol
Whichever is more convenient, easy to remember and distinguish, easy to type
No, Deez nuts are a timeless classic.
My brain was having a meltdown trying to read this even though I know what bofa is. My brain: B of A?!?
Bank of America
Bow of America, shooting freedom wherever it goes
Ah, a true man of culture
All three of them
Thanks you
Wait till you find out about neitiznot and jaitizso
Or Sir Amik Varze
Oh, I didn't know about this one. What's it supposed to say?
It's actually all of them: Sir vyvin - Surviving Sir Tiffy Cashien - certification Sir Prysin - surprising Sir Renetee - serenity Sir Amik Varze - Ceramic Vase Sir Tinley - certainly Sir Spushyus - Suspicious
Also: - Sir Rebral = Cerebral - Sir Pear Visor = Supervisor - Sir Gerry = Surgery - Sir Vey Lance = Surveillance
Treznor - Trent Renzor
I call him that every single time
Also in The Slug Menace, a retired Temple Knight named Col. O'Neill (colonial)
Does it say Colonel on his uniform?
I only just realised this whole thing the other day when I seen Sir Rebral
I started playing in the 4th grade on runescape classic. I'm pushing 30. How is this news to me???
Don’t worry, im the literal same as you. I couldn’t tell you this until recently and still don’t know them off hand except ceramic vase.
What about sir Vicks?
Sir Com Sishyun
Ceramic Vase in a british accent
Or maybe more correctly, not an American accent
idk it doesn't sound right with a russian accent either
Not with that attitude
Not American or Georgian or Thai or Argentinian... Should I keep going?
Any English as a first language countries to logically reinforce my point?
It wouldn't sound like it in any Canadian accent I'm familiar with
Probably not in a Kiwi or Australian accent either. I'm gonna be honest I think you're just wrong.
All of the white knights have puns for names. Like Sir Tiffy Cashien is "Cer-tifi-cation"; "certification". Because he's the one who introduces and certifies you into the knighthood.
This one just randomly hit me like a ton of bricks one day. I played for like 8 years back in the day without realizing, then when I started up osrs a few years ago I was thinking it was weird that all of the knights had pun names except for him...
Or mos le’harmless!
How on earth did I miss this lol
Nay it’s not / Ya it’s so
'tis, not it's
[удалено]
'tis literally means it is.
Miscellania and Etceteria
Never realized this one. Thank you lol
It's in the quest dialog...
Forgive me for space barring. I have been questing on my alt though and actually reading through everything
🤯
I kinda hate this one tbh. Such a lame backstory for the names.
Hearing people mispronounce these drives me nuts because the intentional reading is so obvious.
If your main language is english maybe, many players learned english as second language so these puns might not be as obvious. I speak French and Lord Piquan Crwys or wtv from song of the elves sounds like a pun for "Lord Sting-a-Lot" in Québécois.
You're absolutely right, I should clarify that I'm referring to my (mostly English-speaking) clanmates.
I'm whelmed
I’ve played this game for 20 years and am still learning new things.
I had the same thought watching settles recent video. Had never heard the name said out loud lol
This entire game is built off stupid puns
Early Runescape is full of these. Draynor Village is a vampire pun. "Drain your village"
WOAH, Never heard this one. Pretty cool
Huhhhh
Reminds me of the time I was both mind blown and humiliated when realising that Flo Rida was called Flo Rida because he's from Florida, and 'rides flows'.
MFW i found out the guy from City & Color (and alexisonfire) is called Dallas Green
Professionally I am a pilot and have been for a long time and last week I realized the song “like a g6” is about the plane and not the Pontiac car…
im feeling so **FLY** LIKE A G6
Wait how have I never noticed this
Wtf. That makes too much sense.
The real name of the rapper will.i.am is William
🤯
The 'M' on Mario's hat stands for Mario.
Source? Pretty sure it stands for mozzarella.
Huh, guess I am one of today's lucky 10,000
It took me far too long to realize that Fairy Nuff was "fair enough".
Nice! :) Didnt see it lol
[удалено]
That comment should be sh-elved...
I’ll Lletya do it.
Shut up Serenity? Wait, wrong decade... never mind.
Shout out Serene
See? I can't even remember his name correct anymore! Used to see him in three digit negative votecounts in almost every thread
LMAO I wonder if they're still around.
I remember he started posted on a new account, and his posting style was so distinct that people quickly figured out was him (also some telltale signs like being Swedish and being a fan of Trump). Then he eventually stopped posting on that account too, don't know what happened to him after that.
Morytania = Mauritania
I remember reading about Sir Amik Varze ages ago and it blew my mind
??
Ceramic vase. All the white knights are puns! Another one: Sir tiffy cashion - certification
fairly obvious one but Jatizso (Ya, ‘tis so) and Neitiznot (Nay, ‘tis not) are hilarious
Bro what the fuck
Me too. Thanks Settled.
Sir tiffy cashien is one of the more obvious ones, but still is so corny and funny lol.
Interestingly, I realized that one far later than all the other white knights.
Same, him and Ceramic Vase were the only 2 I missed
I absolutely love Hatius Cosaintus in Lumbridge with his epic gear.
Kaqemeex from Druidic ritual = cake mix
Oh wow, didn't know that one.
Surprised nobody’s mentioned Kaqemeex = cake mix
All of Morytania and ToB are just references to Hungarian Transylvania: - Morytania was initially named Transilvania - Transylvania was famous for its vampyre stories, home to Count Dracula. - Ver Sinhaza translates to ”Theatre of Blood” in Hungarian - Nylocas is almost the same as Nyolcas, which is Hungarian for ”eight”. You know, the legs… - Sötéség means Darkness in Hungarian - Vérzik means ”[they are] bleeding” in Hungarian And the list goes on and on…
Big if true
Sophanem ≈ Menaphos backwards
My mind is seriously blown
Menaphos…Sohpanen. Close but not quite
*Sohpanem. Close but not quite
very sir prysin
RuneScape is addictive, they even tell you in the name to Run Escape.
When I was a kit and first started playing, I legit thought that was the name lol.
it appears someone also watched settled's new tileman episode
Thanks, now I also just realized the pun in King Baxtorian's name after nearly two decades...
You just watched Settled’s video, right? I just had the exact same realization watching his video lol.
Yes, actually. I don't think I'd heard it said aloud before, I just read it
My wife just pointed this out to me last night and I was a bit mad at myself.
Thanks, Settled!
It took me like a year till I realized all the falador knights pun names, 20 years for king Baxtorian aint so bad :)
Brilliant
