[11:41] Put: go over there and slap his ass
[11:41] Put: I mean
[11:41] Put: his face
[11:41] Put: 0_0

Right... No, I don't think so, Put.

[Oviraptor]

[03:05] <Brandonazz> Gau!
[03:06] <Kratok> Why would he respond to that
[03:06] <Kratok> Gauphastus
[03:06] <Brandonazz> Well I figured he put his nicknames on ping like any sensible person would.
[03:07] <Kratok> His nickname isn't Gau though :F
[03:07] <Brandonazz> Then what is it <_<
[03:07] <Kratok> Gauph
[03:08] <Brandonazz> Well he still isn't responding
[03:08] <Brandonazz> =|
[03:08] <Gauphastus> Why doesn't Gau or Gauphastus ding me?
[03:09] <Gauphastus> ****ing IRC sometimes.
[03:09] <Kratok> So Gauph got you?
[03:10] <Gauphastus> Test the other forms for me now. I might have fixed it.
[03:10] <Kratok> Mmh? Whats going on
[03:10] <Oviraptor> Gau
[03:10] <Oviraptor> Gauph
[03:10] <Gauphastus> And..
[03:11] <Kratok> Gauphastus
[03:11] <Gauphastus> Yay.
[03:11] <Oviraptor> Moo!
[03:11] <Gauphastus> Well, they all work now.
[03:11] <Gauphastus> You can't have spaces in the highlighter.
[03:11] <Gauphastus> Just the commas between the words.
[03:11] <Kratok> I thought you didn't like Gau :U
[03:11] <Gauphastus> I don't but sometimes people call me that.
[03:11] <Gauphastus> Actually, I don't really care.
[03:11] <Gauphastus> But I do have a preference.
[03:12] <Gauphastus> Still, the full name is a bit ridiculous to type sometimes.
[03:12] <Gauphastus> It'd be like me calling Ovi Oviraptor all the time.
[03:12] <Oviraptor> Hehe
[03:12] <Kratok> Now you see Bran?
[03:12] <Gauphastus> Let's see how fast I can type it, leaving in any errors I make.
[03:12] <Gauphastus> Oviraptor ovitraptor ovic oviraptor ovitrp
[03:12] <Gauphastus> Damn it.
[03:12] <Kratok> ovirpater
[03:12] <Gauphastus> I don't even know how I hit c.
[03:12] <Gauphastus> What the hell.
[03:12] <Gauphastus> Oviraptor ovit
[03:12] <Gauphastus> ****.
[03:12] <Gauphastus> Haha.
[03:13] <Kratok> ovvireparr
[03:13] <Oviraptor>
[03:13] <Kratok> I always go for rapter
[03:14] <Oviraptor> *raptor
[03:15] <Brandonazz> Yes I see Kratok
[03:15] <Brandonazz> That he also considers Gau a nickname
[03:15] <Brandonazz> And I am therefore correct
[03:15] <Kratok> Well then Bran raisin, the problem is solved isn't it
[03:15] <Gauphastus> Oh, wait. Back to the point.
[03:15] <Gauphastus> Why did you need me?
[03:15] <Brandonazz> Oh right

[Flisch]

<@Neoadept> You all look the same to me
<@Neoadept> You have to live on seperate land masses if you want to be recognised independently :|

From now on, neo should be referred to as a mexican. (Or Canadian, don't know what's worse.)

[Clarke]

From now on, neo should be referred to as a Canadian.

Too far, man. Too far.

[Flisch]

[22:21] <Celdur> hell, with all these city states, i would win diplomatic victory
[22:22] <Celdur> since ill get 5 out of 12 votes
[22:23] <Flisch> 5 out of 12 is the majority hooooooooow?
[22:23] *** Tesla has joined #gamingsteve
[22:23] <Tesla> 'lo
[22:23] <Flisch> Breaking news.
[22:24] <Flisch> Celdur doesn't know simple maths. :B
[22:24] <Tesla> Oh yeah? Such as?
[22:24] <Person21> Half of 12
[22:24] <Flisch> Unless they changed diplomatic victory in Civ V he wouldn't win a potted plant in that election.
[22:25] <Celdur> flisch
[22:25] <Celdur> theres 4 players
[22:25] <Celdur> i dont need half
[22:25] <Celdur> its not one or the other
[22:25] <Flisch> Wow that's utterly silly.
[22:25] <Celdur> what? thats just common ****ing sense you moron
[22:25] <Flisch> No.
[22:25] <Celdur> if you have 3 things to vote on
[22:25] <Celdur> and 1 thing has 34%
[22:25] <Person21> Flisch.
[22:25] <Celdur> that one wins
[22:26] <Flisch> If there are 12 people who can vote then-
[22:26] <Person21> Stop before you make yourself look worse
[22:26] <Flisch> WAT
[22:26] <Celdur> if theres 4 things to vote on
[22:26] <Flisch> Are you guys failing at maths?
[22:26] <Celdur> if one has 26% he wins
[22:26] <Tesla> Oh, and flisch
[22:26] <Flisch> o_O
[22:26] <Tesla> that was really fail
[22:26] <Flisch> So they changed it from Civ 4.
[22:26] <Tesla> you dont understand maths
[22:26] <Tesla> not celdur
[22:26] <Tesla> no flisch
[22:26] <Tesla> *sigh*
[22:26] <Flisch> In Civ 4 you had to have the majority.
[22:26] <Flisch> Yes, you do.
[22:27] <Tesla> if there are 2 players, you have to have over half. If there are 3, you have to have over a third.
[22:27] <Tesla> Etc.
[22:27] <Celdur> someone post this in the fireside thingy topic :3


**** 6 minutes fukll of arguing and calling me a moron later ****



[22:33] <Celdur> oh wait, it says here in the wiki that you need way more than the majority
[22:33] <Celdur> i just asumed that since it makes sense >.>
[22:33] <Celdur> you need like 80%
[22:33] <Flisch> Oh.
[22:33] <Celdur> thats kind of insane
[22:33] <Flisch> WELL MAYBE WE SHOULD TAKE THIS INTO THE FIRESIDE TOPIC
[22:33] <Flisch> DONT YOU THINK?!

[sgore]

I don't know what was up with everyone's math there.
In a pure three way election you wouldn't need over 50% of the vote, but 34% wouldn't mean an automatic victory.
Of course, needing 80% of the vote doesn't make much sense either.

Imagine you had Candidate A, Candidate B and Candidate C running for office somewhere.
Candidate A runs a solid campaign and ends up with 34% of the vote.
Candidate B makes about twenty-five different gaffes the weekend before the election and drives away much of his potential constituancy, ending up with about 17% of the vote.
Candidate C turns out to be charming, quick, politically wise and the day of the election reveals she has in fact been Lily Tomlin the whole time. The move goes over well. She ends up winning the election with 49% of the vote.

Electorally probable? No.
Mathematically possible? Yes.

YAY MATH!

[Inkling]

Flisch cut out the part where Mr. Politics showed up and kind of said what you said.

[Gnoll]

My brain hurts from all that math.

We weren't talking about politics, we were talking about winning the diplomatic victory in Civilisation. I was telling them you need more than 50%. (In my mind you needed 66% but apparently it's 80%, boo memory.) And everyone else was saying you only need one third or whatever of the votes to win. So I was right all along and everyone called me a moron until Celdur actually found out I was right, at which point they continued saying I was wrong for whatever backwards reason. Go figure.
