Guys. You should cut it out.

Guys. You should cut it out.

Are you going to PUNish me?

[cb5]

Guys. You should cut it out.

Yeah, they've really got the edge on this.
I'd razor we not continue.
It's starting to cutter up the thread.

Well I'm going to bed soon anyhow. Have a knife night folks.

[Ironmonger]

That trainer thought that catching that pokemon was a good idea. He was dead wrong.

Looks like they were just horsing around.

It's been a slice.

[Tytan]

Lol! Oh god! My sides are splitting! I'm absolutely on pins and needles to see what you cut ups have planned for the other half of this act.

[Ironmonger]

That trainer is now half the man he used to be.

[Guest]

This is getting out of hand, but I can't bring myself to ax you to stop.

[Ironmonger]

I guess there really is always two parts to every story.

[Tytan]

I guess there really is always two parts to every story.

You really just have to get to the point and cut to the heart of the matter.

[Katarn]

Oh you guys and your sharp minds.

[Ironmonger]

While I'm still thinking of this, I have an idea that I've been tossing around for quite a while. If I GMed a serious RP, would anyone be interested? Granted, I don't know where the setting would be, but I have a few ideas for that as well. Once again, this is just an idea, and I don't really know if I can or will go through with it.

[Katarn]

Most common problems for any RP:

-time (you/players don't have enough time, due to any circumstances not everyone can be in RP every day and/or at same time);

-way to hook in players into RP (setting, GMing, interaction, quests, etc. This need good brain storm and not one week of work, just to start things);

-players/you get bored (nuff said);

-will to be on every day for most time on forum;

-Decide what's more important - stick to cannon or give players full free will with some restrictions.

-number of players (while 'crowd' of 4-6 players can be controlled, they might get bored or (worst case), when at same time show up only few of them or only few of them interact with world/each other due to character's personality);

There are many other things. You can ask Camo and Scyto about their GMing.

[Ironmonger]

I've actually given a lot of that some thought, and I will work on the rest, but the "many other things" part is what's gonna trip me up. I don't really know what to ask about.

[Katarn]

Make a plan.

1) Setting (what, where, who);

2)How much of free will you'll give to players (note. It will go on rails anyway, just how much freedom you willing to give to players to do in between of quests and how that freedom will be represented. Also, important, how many characters per player);

3)Side quests or every quest is main quest;

4) Side activity and/or PCNPC (PlayerControlled Non-player character(s)). Kinda relevant to 2);

5)How much time per day are you willing to spend on RP, even if nothing will be happening and/or your presence will not be required;

About 4):
In our RP's (season 1/2) we had PCNPC's, makes it much easier for players to play and gives you more free time, but can give (potentially godlike) advantage to player(s). So what player can/can't do with PCNPC is important too.


Though overall, I'm not pro at RPing. This all is just my thoughts on subject. Use it or not - your choice.

[Ironmonger]

Thanks for your help, Katarn. It's very much appreciated.

[Katarn]

I wasn't prepared for this kind of sh---:

[Ironmonger]

That's unbearable.

[Penby]

Don't Start.
I can't bear too many grizzly puns.

[Katarn]

You will stop me with your bear hands?

[Penby]

Only American's have the right to bear arms. 
So me stopping you would be impawsable.

[Katarn]

Doesn't mean you can't bear them eelegally. Got my point?

Double fuck my life.

Why do people pretend to be illiterate when you prove that they're wrong?
"Well you can't prove that I'm wrong so I'm right"
*shows them proof
"Well you can't prove that it's real"
*shows them that it's real
"Well you can't prove that it's not biased"
*shows them that it's not biased
"Well you can't prove that it's accurate information"
*shows them that it's accurate information
*They suddenly act get a case of the stupid to try demanding you force feed them any information to continue the argument

Math help time! How would I find the rate of change of a hypotenuse based on the rate of changes and (increasing) values of the legs using calculus/derivatives? I have the equation for when you're trying to find the rate of change for a leg and there's a fixed hypotenuse, while only one leg is changing. I'm probably missing the obvious...

h=((x^2)+(y^2))^0.5
d/dt h=d/dt ((x^2)+(y^2))^0.5
=0.5*(((x^2)+(y^2))^-0.5)*((2*x*(d/dt x))+(2*y*(d/dt y)))
, I think. I did that rather quickly though, so you'll probably want to check it over.

Also more math help, how would I solve the following problem? A 6 foot tall man is walking away from a 15 foot high lamp post at 3ft/s find the rate of change of his shadow. I think it involves similar triangles, though I'm probably totally wrong...

Ugh, what class is making you work in American units?
Anyway, yes, the length of the man's shadow will be from his feet to the intersection of the ground and a line defined by the top of his head and the top of the lamppost. The ground angle for the shadow/man triangle is thus the same as that of the (shadow+distancefrompost)/post triangle, and, both triangles being right, the triangles are thus similar. Hm, but, actually, I believe that the key to the problem lies in a third similar triangle: a right triangle defined by the common hypotenuse, a vertical line colinear with the lamppost, and a horizontal line from the top of the man's head to the intersection with the lamppost line. It is the rate of change of this last line that you are given, and the vertical distance from the top of the man's head to the top of the lamppost is a constant. With those and the previous problem, you can find the rate of change of the hypotenuse, and, the hypotenuse being shared among the similar triangles, this will also be the rate of change of the hypotenuse of the shadow/man triangle. There the vertical distance is also a constant, so you can find the rate of change of the shadow. I think. Again, check your/my work and see if your answer makes sense.

Eh, I just submitted the assignment to my online course...you were about 10 minutes too late...

Oh. Sorry.

Well apparently that person I've been arguing with pulled the most stupid move imaginable.  They pulled the hipster move.

Short version is that I've been arguing with someone about the growth of mlp and how it's pretty much going mainstream.  They've ignored basic math.  They've ignored the growth of the show.  They've ignored every piece of logic and have every turn gone, "well you can't prove that" even though I keep proving that they're wrong.  They've ignored all math, they've ignored all logic, they've ignored every piece of rational sense of anything... and finally after two days of trying to get through their thick skull that the mlp franchise is growing they pulled the, "No adults watch the show" card.  How the blood fuck does that make any sense?  And what's worse is that they have a sock puppet.....

....There really is no point trying to argue against people on the internet is there?

Is it really that hard for people to admit they like something that is popular.
