Hi

Hi Misery. Misery 15:08, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Who the hell are you? Misery 16:43, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

hello N of tab's socks are in a room together. What is the chance that atleast two of Tab's socks that are present in the room share the same birthday? 12:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Misery 12:18, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) N of tab's socks are in a room together. What is the chance that atleast two of Tab's socks that are present in the room share the same birthday? 12:32, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) The chance is equal to 365Pn divided by 365 to the power of n 12:33, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I question this, proof please. Misery 12:36, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) For n of Tab's socks to not share a birthday 12:42, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) Therefore the probability you are looking for is 1 minus this value. 12:43, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) A proof of this is as follows: 12:44, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) For the first sock, they can have any of the 365 days in a year as a birthday without sharing it with another. 12:45, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) For the second it is 364 divided by 365 13:02, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) And for the third it is 363 divided by 365 etc. 13:03, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) Now we have the series 365 over 365 * 364 over 365 * .... * (365 - (n-1)) over 365 13:04, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) Which is equal to 365! over (365-n)!*365^n 13:09, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

:o) As n! over (n-r)! nPr, this is the same as 365Pn over 365^n 13:11, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

I guess you owned me. Misery 13:22, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

== Trolling? ==

Umm, how am I trolling? I was merely attempting to answer the users questions to the best of my ability. AFAIK I have not met any of the definitions of trolling.- TheRave (talk) 08:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

It pretty much seemed to me like you were starting to make fun of him. Honestly, quoting the latin names of vegetables, if he doesn't understand pumpkin, how on earth can you expect him to disentangle that? Misery 08:58, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I was more trying to encourage him to research/find out for himself. Also his English seemed pretty good (apart from that one question) to me.- TheRave (talk) 09:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm not going to go through his contributions and point out every little mistake he has ever made to make my point. Misery 09:09, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Fair enough. I only looked through some of his contributions not all of them, this was the one that leapt out. Anyway, I apologise if I seemed like I was trolling, the responses were not meant in anyway to make fun of him.- TheRave (talk) 09:12, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh I see, the part where he couldn't work out how to use a keyboard... Or understand the advice on how to sign. Strong evidence for comprehension of the English language there. Misery 09:14, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Sarcasm? ^^ It was more the sentence construction than the content tbh.- TheRave (talk) 09:17, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You haven't realised by now that I am a bit of a sarcastic git? Misery 09:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Your comments...

Make me curious (yes, in a positive way) about your characters :). --Silverleaf Don't assume, ask! 13:32, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

About my characters? You confuse me good sir. Misery 13:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

And which comments? Misery 13:35, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You show a common sense in your contributions here on the wiki. When i follow the link to your userpage sadly it is empty. My curiosity is for the characters you created in-game. (meant as a compliment ;-) --Silverleaf Don't assume, ask! 13:39, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh I see. I don't really like the idea of creating a "shrine" for my characters, I hope this doesn't sound offensive but it seems a little self indulgent to me, but I'm happy to outline my characters to answer an inquiry. My "main" is a three year old necro who I am very, very slowly title hunting with, I only have two maxed titled so far, Sunspear and completeing Prophecies on normal mode. I don't take PvE that seriously and mainly just load up with H/H, sometimes with one other person and c-space semi-afk. I also farm a fair bit, I find it therapeutic. I've tried to find a use for all my PvE slots, my dervish became an underworld farmer, my ranger was a spider farmer/brawler, but I now do that with my necro for the added title points so I will probably spec him for PvP, my warrior and monk are specced and I recently deleted my ritualist because I ran out of things I wanted to do with her (I used to use her for FFFing, but I got bored of that) and remade a ritualist using "Misery" in the name and specced her as a flag runner, which is the role I most often fill in GvG. I also have two PvP slots which reroll relatively constantly. Misery 13:55, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello

"...Arenanet may or may not have a problem with the way Auron is "representing them", but so far the wiki in general, including other sysops hasn't given a rat's ass what Auron says to you in game and my understanding is that Arenanet more or less decided to leave the running of this site to the community.Misery 13:06, 9 October 2008 (UTC) ". Wow... I might be adding that as a staple or as a template! I mean... yeah I just came here to complement on that.--ShadowFog 13:59, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Osht, thanks I guess. Misery 14:04, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Thank you...

...for your answer to my curiosity :). --Silverleaf Don't assume, ask! 15:18, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

You're welcome, I kind of figured you read it and didn't have any comment. Guess I archive too quickly, sorry bout that. I could link to my PvXwiki page but I don't for two reasons:

• 1)It's terrible,
• 2)Everyone here seems biased against PvXwiki. Misery 15:22, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I read it anyway's and I understood. And about the PvXlink...why not? I think you got hit by the most-opposing-gww members. I for one do not mind :). --Silverleaf Don't assume, ask! 15:26, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

I'll link it here, but I think I want to keep a red link on this wiki for now, red links are hawt. PvX Userpage. Now people can go through and see everywhere where I have called people terrible (on a wiki where you are more or less allowed to do that) and call me a bad person and suggest I get banned here. Also, if anyone happens to swing by, lets talk about formatting consistency before you scream at me for being terrible at guild wars or elitist because formatting consistency interests me greatly. Misery 15:48, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

My vote is for Imperial Isle format. & nice Buneary :). --Silverleaf Don't assume, ask! 16:29, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Bun bun buneary! Buneary is a seriously cute pokemon. Lopunny turns my mind to vile thoughts :< Misery 16:30, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

hello Arnold Swiftspell 14:26, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

hi Misery 14:27, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Profanity link

GWW:NPA. "Editors should be civil when stating disagreements.". Definitions of Profanity:

• According to dictionary.com->Profanity:"2.profane conduct or language; a profane act or utterance.".
• According to Wikipedia->Profanity:Refer to Types of swearing.

1)"Additionally, editors are strongly discouraged from using profanity in comments to other contributors.". 2)"When in doubt, comment on the article's content without referring to its contributor at all. ".

3)"It is as unacceptable for anyone to attack a user with a history of foolish or boorish behavior, or even one who has been subject to disciplinary action as it is to attack any other user"..

Sentence 2) and 3) seems to get broken all the time. And "Editors should be civil when stating disagreements."(So, they can't be uncivilized?) should be explain is detail.

• "Editors should be civil when stating disagreements.": Guide to civil civil. Guidelines to a civil conduct which many bureaucrat breaks often. You can see Wandering Travelers contribute about his thought in civil(even put * on words).--ShadowFog 15:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

--ShadowFog 15:19, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

From your guide to Civility:

Petty examples of incivility:

Belittling contributors because of their language skills or word choice.

Fuck's just a word and it's all fucked up. Strongly discouraged is not forbidden and the ability to remain civil is not the only requirement to being a good bureaucrat. I don't see why you insist upon pointing out all the time that "many bureaucrats" swear. 2) has nothing to do with profanity as is 3), you can swear as much as you like without directly attacking a user. I truly believe swearing is appropriate over the internet because other forms of emphasis that are possible in real life are not possible in text and italicizing text simply doesn't cut it sometimes. Misery 15:41, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Profanity isn't against the rules. The few people who tried to disallow profanity also tried to disallow sarcasm and jokes (seriously, check the policy archives). Needless to say, their arguments were mostly fallacious and were thus shut down (that's a pretty good read btw - Dirigible was always awesome at countering bullet lists). If you've got better arguments than they did, go ahead and bring it up - maybe you'll manage to get support this time. Unless you can counter Dirigible's points, however, I don't think you'll get very far. -Auron 18:04, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

We all admire bureaucrats that can solve problems without the use of profanity and swearing plus the entire community admires that kind approach. The use of swearing and profanity all it does is raise the tension between strangers and veterans alike that can inevitably lead to vandalism by IP's, by puppets accounts, in game harassment, misleading remarks, etc.--ShadowFog 19:15, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

Actually, if I recall correctly like exactly 3 people gave a fuck when Auron swore at NoXiFy and everyone else was more irritated at NoXiFy bringing drama to the wiki over something so trivial. Auron seems to be held in relatively high regard, personally I have a mild dislike for him because he deleted my Buneary and Aipom :< Misery 20:13, 13 October 2008 (UTC)

hello misrey would you like to come do fow with me Edward 20:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

Hrm, a full FoW run might take a bit long tonight, want to maybe like AB or some other PvE instead? Misery 20:56, 15 October 2008 (UTC)

HAI BAED PLAYER <3 btw I beat vigor's balanced in halls with his own game (bspike lulz) Napalm Flame 16:45, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

so i herd vigor is a baed player Napalm Flame 16:45, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Yawn. You seem to be under the mistaken impression I care. Misery 23:03, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

amirite in saying ur bad too? all of gws is bad at gw. Napalm Flame 01:53, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, pretty much. Next tell me how much better than me you are at Warcraft 2. That one might make me cry. Misery 07:59, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Let's deviated this into a tangent! "Next tell me how much better than me you are at [Insert Game Here] That one might make me cry.: Rise of Nations, Warcraft, Warcraft 3, Age of Mythology, Warhamer 40,000:Dawn of War, Command & Conquer: Generals/3, Hearts of Iron 2: Doomsday, Civilization 3/IV, Sid Meiere's: RailRoads!, The Movies, SimCity 3/4, SimGolf, etc.--ShadowFog 14:19, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

You totally lost me. I can follow the lines, but your tangents don't seem to converge to your point. Misery 14:24, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Kane owns all - even Chuck Norris. Ɲoɕʈɋɽɕɧ 14:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

I own much of them. Kind of strategy geek, that may explain why I like Alliance Battle so much. A tangent is a line that passes a curve and goes the same direction of said curve. I mean, I don't go gloating around like a silly about shit like your "admirers".--ShadowFog 14:42, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

No, I just take the piss out of him from pvxwiki <3 I don't need to admire anyone, when I'm better than Vigor's balanced xP Napalm Flame 15:30, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Ah, makes sense now. That was my point, I could see the tangents, but lost your "point". Misery 15:23, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Ye, Napalm is butthurt cause I banned him on PvX, so he's trollin meh. Misery 15:37, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Nah, not butthurt tbh. Not trolling either, just baiting for LOLDRAMA. Oh yeah, btw, trolling pvx and gww? I did it for the lulz. Napalm Flame 16:08, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

RED VS BLUE GOGOGO Napalm Flame 16:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

You are more purple to me. Misery 16:11, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

Trew, but hey, you're red to blue! =D Or at least, yer userpage is Napalm Flame 16:12, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

True that, I also made my signature link permanently red because I made a user page once and it fucked everything up. Misery 16:34, 10 November 2008 (UTC)

oicwutudidthar. I'm kind of busy, not watching RC that hard. Misery 16:36, 10 November 2008 (UTC)
