She's a messiah asking the hard questions no one else will. She's the Friendly Jordies of Runescape fr fr

[@GuntWastelander]

Lmaoooo yes she’s fighting systemic corruption in gielinor because nobody else will 😤

[@seanventen7291]

I just finished a Friendly Jordies video, clicked on this one and saw your comment. Get out of my head.

[@CJGAndrews]

As someone whose been thinking about this for a very long time now (30 seconds), thank you for shedding some light on this very serious situation.

[@Seneschaal]

I think that the bank is some kind of a hive mind mimic, the chest is the organism and the banker is just a vestige, like an anglerfish lure

[@MegaChickenfish]

"I think communists eat money" and "Do rotund men count as people?" are definitely some of the Hannanie quotes of all time.

[@ryshazeux4099]

this is how a quest gets made.

[@63fahrenheit]

Just talk to Nahannie to start it!

[@vernanderson8403]

I was just thinking this for an April fools event next year. New quest, discovering the bankers' true identities, actually being a hive mind like creature, led by a monstrous master banker. He does it to technically own the biggest collection of items in the world, and you who have stumbled upon the truth, now know too much.

[@MegaChickenfish]

I remember the whole reason why there was ever more than one banker in the first place was only one player could talk to an npc at a time so they had to have big buildings with a ton of clones. This also applied to quest NPCs, so the Grand Tree had like 5 kings. Now they have those new fangled "bank chests" everywhere taking jobs from hard working enslaved bankers worldwide, SMH.

[@SkyGrizzzley]

Hanannie is what happens when you give someone really high a data science degree and a spreadsheet. You get this masterpiece

[@birdenthusiast5421]

I remember a Postbag from the Hedge that was a question to the bankers about this; according to the reply, the bankers teleport in and out of position at the end of each shift so quickly you don't notice the changeover. I don't remember if the reply explained why they all have the same hairstyle and colour, though.

[@catland88]

Maybe they're chosen from a pool of inactive players with sufficient magic level and the correct hairstyle. It's like jury duty

[@rocktheworld2k6]

"I don't remember if the reply explained why they all have the same hairstyle and colour, though." Company uniform policy, obviously.

[@kkirschkk]

oh easy on the hair style, while teleporting your hair, cloths [and possibly gender] get swapped by that mage that can do that to the player to match your previous shift holder. Banking is a stressful job....

[@logjitzu]

when i grow up i want to be an undefinable creature trapped in a bank

[@RocketPropelledMexican]

The Bank of Gielinor is by far the most powerful organization in RuneScape. Think about it. They had staff in places no other human has ever tread before you unlock it, like Priff, Darkmeyer and ON THE FCKING MOON. That implies the Bank has been around for ages and that the powers that be in these regions some of which are hostile to humans, don't even dare to try to curtail their business. And think of the hoard they keep. Whenever someone dies in RuneScape what do you think happens to their items stashed in their bank? Every legendary hero in RuneScape that passed away, every player that has quit, every hardcore Ironman slain... it all comes back to the Bank.

[@CaptainJLinebeck]

The gods only keep their power because The Bank allows them to

[@rorbee]

And this is why OSRS is the most realistic game. Down with the bank monopoly.

[@RocketPropelledMexican]

Also who do you think lobbyed for and benefited from the free trade ban in '08

[@Born2Grind]

Everybody talking about bankers making a profit from banned account's bank but HOLY CRAP how long have we been able to buy bank slots for Hannah?!? I JUST thought about that! That could potentially fund things.

[@robbebrants4003]

Exactly my thoughts! Extra bank slots (a better pocket dimension) are very expensive and can only be bought at the bankers, not the bank chests. Maybe that's the whole reason they exist!

[@TheNeraum]

Dude the list of bankers just casually dropping a camel in the middle then getting more unhinged, this is peak. Though idk if you ever got back to the scam guys

[@LilGamingYes]

1:12 I never noticed the fairies twerked until now...

[@joshfairchild]

I want to like your comment but its at 69 😂

[@greenmenace]

Kinda looks like they're training their doggy style moves, if you look at their hand placement

[@Falleax69]

Your cult theory unironically makes perfect sense and matches Runescape's tone so well. In a world where sandwich women and talking mailman skulls can teleport around giving away stuff for free, where spontaneous angry mobs can appear out of thin air to attack a miniature hot air balloon then vanish as quickly as they came, it makes perfect sense that banks are just a naturally occurring thing. Neat!

[@dawakat08]

It's simple, when you're a banker you get put on the bank spell book so you can tele in and out of the bank at all times, that way you don't disturb adventurers when you're shift ends

[@OttermanNathan]

An aside - if you recall when the wise old man robbed the draynor bank, all he got was the money on a banker and the blue party hat. He wasn’t shown actually taking any *items*

[@s0ulshot]

It was a some alphabet boys coverup to hide all the horses from Gielinor. Think of it where do unicorns come from? Its a horse with a horn!! Wake up

[@zilosis3794]

"What is going on with bankers?" Is a question that can get you in trouble.

[@FLCL_rox]

A chest or bank ledge that gives you access to a storage menu for your items whenever you need it in places all over the world: "yeah that's game design for ya" you stick a person to stand next to it with some dialouge: "LORE THEORY" Hanannie back at it again

[@AsheOfAx]

This is way less crackpot of a theory than I was expecting

[@bigmclargehuge8219]

I love that you spent like 2/3rds of the video giggling, made the video a fantastic experience. 10/10 would get the giggles again

[@BlindEyes89]

This is now how banking works in my headcannon, thank you for sharing this frankly genius rambling.

[@zimbu_]

That's head canon. A cannon shoots cannonballs.

[@rorbee]

Jagex hire this lady to write a questline!!! Also, wouldn't you be able to go to the pocket dimension if you just... Put yourself in a bank chest?!

[@Wutertheodds]

Each bakers booth opens as a door, it was written in a blog post by Mod Banksy a little over 10 years ago.

[@JCarpinator]

Everyone asks “What are the bankers?” and “Who are the bankers?” Never “How are the bankers?” #justiceforthebankers

[@ErikMm5]

I feel bad for using bank chests now :( I stand with the bankers

[@jordanwebster5077]

Oh my gosh this is one of the best osrs videos in agessss can this pleaseeee be a series??

[@jordanwebster5077]

Well done, wowee

[@talviel]

As someone who recently quit her job as a banker because it felt like a hellscape cult I couldn't escape from, this was especially hilarious to me.

[@Astrospill]

"2 lil hot guys" really tickled me

[@FriendlyCobblestone]

I think often we're also using the banking pocket dimension just by using the bank booths. So it's not even some sort of shortage of banking chests.

[@leon6777]

If you ever think a video is too stupid for the public, it probably isn't. This is giving major pathway only/lost in translation vibes but with massively improved editing, footage and recording. It's so nice and I'm watching it with the biggest smile. Thanks.❤

[@voidknightt748]

never have i ever needed more lore about bankers.. i must understand their entirety now

[@zimbu_]

Still less unhinged than the actual lore whenever Bob the Jagex cat is involved. I honestly wonder how J1mmy is going to try to explain the part in Dragon Slayer II where you're doing drugs with a cat so you can fight the monsters in its dream in order to convince it that it's a reincarnation of a guy who lived hundreds of years ago.

[@XionicAihara]

And then we never heard of Hanna again. Big banker quietly came and took care of her. Atleast the Draynor bankers had one opportunity to escape during the robbery

[@Tktosrs]

Goddamn it I don’t need this kind of conspiracy to keep me up at night now, next time keep this behind a paywall😂

[@SmolJordan]

i wonder where Phials Tiles Aisles Niles Miles Giles and Piles fit into all this...

[@scarscar]

"He has been sucked, which I dont know if that revokes his human status" hahaha

[@snugglesnail140]

99% of all gear is banked at any time, and 99% of banks are not open at any time. They're probably selling gear out of people's banks on the GE, then just handing them somebody else's gear that isn't in use at that time.

[@stinkinhippy1724]

I'm not sure if this is the insane ramblings of a mad woman or utter genius deduction. Either way I love it!

[@Im_Tulo]

Wow this is incredible! Something tells me Jagex knows the truth about the pyramids in Egypt too.

[@ruadeil_zabelin]

I absolutely love this video. The amount of detail you went through to blow this case wide open pleases me :3

[@lordjcphoenix]

i was hoping to see you again in GG season 4 but this will do

[@ShinyEevee39]

Idk why I thought this wouldn't be as absolutely unhinged as it is. lol I lost it when the camel came into the picture.

[@shroomer3867]

What if the bank desks act like small doors that they are able to push through when their shift ends? Maybe they teleport in and out?

[@closotezuka]

i never expected to be so invested in runescape bank lore before now

[@GooTheMighty]

Alternate theory, lonesome Bank Chest are employed Mimics. Doesn’t line up with building one in Fossil Island, but maybe RuneScape Mimics move into actual chests like hermits crabs, just with more teeth and hentai.

[@FoulMouthFishing666]

I like to think of them as those weird banker goblins from Harry Potter, they're just born and bred to be bankers.

[@rathgames]

Sometimes when it's late, I pull up a hanannie video expecting to have a nice relaxing time, and here I am, staring at the ceiling, spread out on the floor, full of nothing but fear. What was the Camel.

[@JAXi9321]

When you said "two hot guys" I expected two Ryan Gosling bankers to show up

[@oddbob-sw1xk]

Raids 4: The Vault of Sophanem Now we can finally steal from the rich!

[@synonymforbad6172]

They make money by offering more bank space at a ridiculous price. Banks are practically everywhere to entice you to use them as often as possible which fills your bank space incredibly fast. F2P only have a base 400 slots and Members have 800 and it costs an absurd 888M to add 360 extra spaces (not even half of what you originally start with). Its sold in increments of 40 slots and grows exponentially as you try and pay for more. As more content, and ultimately more items, come into the game, you are incentivized to spend your hard earned dough on some more slots and they have the insider info. You're onto something here...

[@WizardChadillac]

They could also make money from all banned/deleted accounts all the items left in the players bank would default to the bank

[@OndAngel]

I used to think about this as a kid... Thank you for the deep dive on this. Also, "their clothes are not their skin" just had me dying for some reason.

[@heath8377]

They should have a grandmaster heist-based quest based on getting to the bottom of the banker question.

[@dennisgibsonii6316]

If they have made 7.25 an hour since launch how much have they made so far?

[@Casiange]

All adventurers are immortal and unemployed and they know it. That's why you cant take out a loan.

[@ThunderDragonRandy]

Banking skill and banking questline when? I wanna be a banker now. Pure banker account, helping people bank their stuff.

[@JT-gw7wt]

Hannannie, the Queen of answering the questions no one asked.

[@seoila4134]

you also recruit a guy to work as a banker after repairing a building in the Aid of the Myreque quest. My personal theory is that bankers are an order of wizards that learnt portal magic and for some reason all became beuracrats after doing so.

[@xxphantomxx3]

Sometimes I like to come back to past Hanannie Banannie videos just to see how far her madness has come

[@FoodIsCrack]

hanannie out here thinking real life bank tellers are cult members because we have atms

[@iMpacTbySkil]

I remember in the beginning of Runescape I used to right click the banker to bank, was clicking the bank booth an option at that time? This would mean bankers did the banking for you and the portals were not available at the time.

[@Yuishin1]

Thanks for this eye-opening research! How they're making profit is pretty straight forward. Your bank screen only shows you a front end interface. So to speak, you only have as many items as you've got in your inventory. Meanwhile, the bank csn comfortably use any ammount of items stored, as long as they are still capable of fulfilling any withdrawal request. So far there has not been a global bank run yet. Therefore: realize your Investments as long as you can!

[@Yuishin1]

This also explains why HCIM exist. (No cooperation with the bankers!)

[@Coolcatkilla5]

this was very important. thank you for shedding light on this very sensitive subject. very brave

[@eldeefitty4473]

Hmm what's this Hanannie video about? Afk crabs? Burnt food tycoon? Oh, it's a deep dive analysis of the banker census lol top job Hannah

The chill that just went down my spine..

[@OfficialCLANK]

It would be so wholesome if jagex did an update where the bankers clocked out and switched once a day with an identical banker.

[@Godzeller3143]

This is the most schizophrenic OSRS video on the platform. My claim rests entirely on the quote: “the camel blew this whole thing wide open.”

[@emildobre4442]

Omg… I never thought about that before.

[@maniacmatt7340]

Ill remember this in a week and recall it as a fever dream. Fun video!

[@BestFriend188]

Bankers are pokemon. They sleep and store themselves inside the same magical compartments all our stuff goes into

[@bigbear3202]

this is why i love ur vids bc u think outside of the box u go where no one has gone before hehe

[@rubixium]

think of the chest banks like credit unions, bankers are like traditional banks, and the ge is like a stock exchange. Chest banks are just uninsured.

[@andreww479]

finally, high quality osrs content

[@carsonellis5136]

This is 100% the content I subscribed for

[@tal2tal2]

Damn jagex should pay you to write a quest where we delve deep into the banking cult and find their real purpose and ambitions, they surely relate to cuthbert and his gang

[@michaelbooshees9999]

andrew gower: creates bankers so people can have somewhere to put there stuff a girl 25 years later: there has to be some lore to this

[@hazmatt8349]

This is the hard hitting journalism we need in Gielinor.

[@bomono3973]

I love the idea of a banking quest that ends in you fighting the big bad banker boss who just grabs random shit from people's banks like tbows and inquisitors from a pocket dimension. Make that shit feel like when you get rushed in the wildy by the guy doing a 12 item switch n shit.

[@hardslaps]

I had no idea how much I needed to see this video

[@KrahyzHD]

I found this extremely entertaining, I wanted you to keep going hahaha

[@lemonfan2570]

absolute top tier hanannie video I couldn't ask for more

[@SpoonFedAron]

This is why I play a UIM. STAND UP AGAINST THE CULT!

[@GooTheMighty]

I still love the idea that 80% of bankers have to vault their counters to get to work every day. That OR, they have their own tele-tabs to clock in every morning! Then they tele home!

[@vanrubik]

This. This is my favorite content on this channel. Gimme more insane nonsense with a subtle hint of tangible plausibility! :D

[@mopfrenzy1250]

This was a master piece im sure the rabbit hole goes deeper, you just exposed a whole industry jagex will sure try to silence you and cover this up

[@Noah-pu4vr]

You crafting theories about Gielinor needs to be a series

[@teamx99]

I cannot express how unhinged this content is, I'm here for it

[@VotesNoToPVP]

A possible issue with banks being naturally occurring is that we build 2 of them, the fossil island camp one and the one in burgh de rott.

[@yellowredblue]

Excellent work. I love the Sophanem-based portal cult theory.

[@Gilsworth]

Literally my favourite Runescape video now.

Omg wait this was so good!! More unsolicited lore pls! 🩷

[@nerolonging5178]

This is basically every game theory video

[@jacobjwolf1272]

in Fremennik Trials Peer the Seer can deposit all of your items supporting that there is portals that some may be able to open but only one way

[@Ancient128]

They also make money by selling bank slots extensions

[@Rollerrot]

If they're all branches of the Bank of Geilinor, then where's their headquarters?

[@PhilTruthborne]

They are the custodians of the runescape universe. They stand duty, unblinking, unwavering, always to keep the banking system funtional, for so it must be.
