Well in retrospect I should have worded my criticism a lot better, no wonder it was misunderstood.

A recursively generated covering by boxes of random size and color of a rectangular area. I could say it is a reference to the knapsack problem, but that would be cheating. Actually there is no purpose.

In all of this arguing, I think we are forgetting who is winning here: Devilsclub

Damn, he beat me too.

If we crush the y-axis down, for example, Grayswandir ends up being a lot closer to Renegade_Turner than to Blorx. As one axis becomes de-emphasized relative to the other, the closeness between points shift accordingly.
In other words, as we put less value on the number of posts and more value on the age of membership, Renegade_Turner and Grayswandir become nearly identical and Blorx's higher age becomes more significant of a difference.

I meant by relative that no two points can swap places, being closer to the center. If one is farther away than the other, it will always be, though it may be accentuated or diminished.

Sorry, that's not true. You have two total orders ordering the people, once after posts and once after time. Those orders won't change, that is true. And someone who has less posts and less time will always be closer to the center. But if two people are ordered differently by posts and time, e.g. one has more posts and one has more days, how they will rank on the combined order (distance from the origin) will depend on how you weigh posts and time. The most extreme case is, if you just weigh one of the properties with 0 (in effect ignoring it for the combined order) and giving the other a weight >0, then the order of the other property will totally take over.

I agree watching you guys argue is funny

As i see it, Im not a spammer

Oh and to be truthful, evem im amazed at the speed this topic got 7 pages lol

"As I see it, I'm not a spammer"
*doubleposts*


Olololololololololol.

But I am utterly certain that the document I handed you didn't contain that! I have no idea what you're talking about!

But Mr. Fullinger, you can't do that! It's immoral! What--?

NO! I SWEAR! I didn't put it in there!

MR. FULLINGE--

Yeah... don't know what I was thinking on that one.

Keep posting

morons no offence o.o

So, if the plan is to create the longest thread containing all sorts of spam, why don't we simply continue with the randomness thread? It's what it's for!

This character is the only Indian member of the Wolfire games group on facebook. This leads me to believe that it's Devilsclub. Coincidentally I also found fournine in that group along with some other people from the forum.

A bold claim.

-searches the forums for an instance where you're wrong-

Ahem. One minute please.

-continues increasingly frantic search-

It appears you have the facts on your side. Dang, on other forums I have always been able to prove they are, in fact, wrong in at least one instance.

Try harder!
