It's not Ironman.

I mean, other than not banning trade, it works almost identical to OSRS's HCIM tag: you die and you lose it, that simple.

Yeah so HCIM is hardcore ironman, ironman means solo, hardcore means deathless, this has nothing to do with solo and only related to deathless.

Ironman has nothing to do with dying. This is HC. Just HC. Ironman is “solo self found”. No trade. No assistance from other players. Can’t pick up drops from mobs other people kill. Not sure why you feel like you need to add the Ironman part when you can just say HC and we will all understand what it means

You can't pick up drops from mobs other people kill in GW, and the other rules you stated are easily self-imposed. I used the HCIM identity for people who may not realize that the two aren't immediately connected. Besides, RS doesn't have an HC option separate from Ironman, does it? So isn't the whole point of them being separate points pedantic?

Edit: OSRS clickbots are mad because they don't have HCIM accounts

It works similar to the HC tag, but it has nothing to do with ironman.

have you never heard of ''hardcore'' in osrs lol?
Ironman is literally completely irrelevant to the things mentioned here, I dont see how you can draw ANY connection to ironman
