Snowflake commented on blog entry ESI: Correcting and Scaling a Gaming Metric in ***PL***
oh i also liked your comment about how some parts of the formula are just something else in disguise. yes, the formula could be severely simplified before being implimented. thats not an error in the most philosophical sense, since well equivalent formulas are equivlaent formulas, but yeah in the real
Snowflake commented on blog entry ESI: Correcting and Scaling a Gaming Metric in ***PL***
what is unique about your criticims, is you seem to understand the math. most people seem to just not ilke the actual results (who winds up winning) as opposed to the theoretical formula used itself.
not sure if you noticed, but i ran some calculus for max min curves, and found, if you're

I think some of the things being discussed here are impossible to make a standard rule, and whats best really does change on the fly. Empty platforms? that'll change on its own with time. I created every single track for the microvision, but i wouldnt have been able to do so had the platform not

when you say "rare" do you simply mean g ames that are rare now for whatever reason, or do you mean things like special releases, prototyps, blockbuster exclusive.....
cause i think its totally reasonable to only count whatever could be bought at walmart or whatever as the "full

I think tis great we're arguing over subjective things and not having one group defend cheating and one group opposing it. I'm old enough to remember when the argument was "this guy cheated heres the proof" "how dare you question him, also let me now go full ad hominem against
Snowflake commented on blog entry Triforce Dispute: closed incorrectly! in datagod
Its not just you, its a bug across the board and yeah its totally insulting gaslighitng bs. When admin closes a dispute they add insult to injury by claiming you closed it.
its literally the formaula. every single dispute THEY close they accuse YOU of clsoing. how hard is it to change the msage

not that any of us get a vote but i enjoy these discussions as much as the next guy. If he was banned before trial conclusion couldnt that be twisted as witness tampering? if hes to be punished for court related stuff might be better to wait until the court confirms it.

I really dont approve being banned for offsite activiyt no mater how bad. even the pedophile ban i wouldve prefered "forum restriction" to prevent them from emailing, commenting or in any way talking to kids but not stop submissions, like rudy used to be handled.
sorry, i maintain triforce

i like this achievement talk. while related to esi and wr count though i really think it would have to be an additional metric and not a replacement. the pass/fails we already talked about can be filed under a type of achievement as well. I can imagine this would be quite a bit of effort for admin,

logic is just formula that acts on inputs/assumptions (hopefully correct assumptions fact) and produces outputs/conclusions
in this case the input is the defintion of a "world record" which people seem to have VERY different views on. These curretnly fit theTG defintion of a TG world

something else why i think fighting innaugrauls is a doomed game. Track creation rules in place requiring 3 donators ,didnt stop it and i really dont think anything else will. i think of blackfalgs point about pass/fails basically being sneakily reintroduced through easy maxouts. i'd rather jsut
