(continuing) Anyway, a number of other remarkable and unexpected breakthroughs emerged, and became relatively common place, probably the most significant of which was the shuttle patch preventing instant release of scarabs.
Over time the mathematician gradually went crazy and believed that everything he learned about Brood War was somehow scripted in advance, and that there was an impossible economic conundrum about how to escape aliens. Over time he became convinced that everything he did was a warning from the future not to do what he was doing, and that instead of assuming that he had payed the price for his errors, he learned that the corrective intent of the aliens was such that he had to suppose that the aliens were punishing him in advance for mistakes and that consequences were somehow reversed forcing him to pay in advance to make less mistakes in the future. It all became so confusing that the mathematician came to believe nothing could be known with any certainty and that the aliens were conditioning him to see errors before they happened. The last great scholar of Brood War perished with the writings of this one.
It didn't matter in the end, and colleagues soon took over his work. Using modern modeling techniques they discovered bizarre convergence patterns that were something like what we call harmonic series. It seemed the error processes were expanding in time and there was no accounting for why. Were they error processes successfully isolated was a question that wouldn't be answered until Wings.
With Wings, Blizzard had successfully transferred hidden emergence patterns into what are simply called inversions. For instance, +5 lift capacity on command center represented the historic amalgam of Boxer's 3/12 defense, and the infamous Yosh carrier island loss. Unfortunately island maps were removed from the pool and so the CC support strat never took off, so to speak. Well, again, it doesn't matter, and I don't think anyone is going to make anything of any of it, and there's no reason to worry. It is worth noting that the further scholars delved into these complicated patterns, the more they came to develop something like a superstitious faith concerning even the most commonplace tactics like building walls and mutalisk grouping. It became increasingly worrisome when scholars began to mutter like lunatics and manifest signs of having been consumed by the same disturbing thought patterns. The project was eventually abandoned.
The few remaining laborers believe that the hidden secret is Protoss Chronoboost, and that if only forge timings weren't so problematic we could finally have a reasonable Three Nexus Two base opening, taking advantage of the HotS MSC and the added supply of the LotV production structure. Unfortunately since adepts are going to be nerfed this won't happen but it's a nice thought.

man you gotta get off the meth
|
This is a pretty concise summary of the situation, given the constraints on upload and download. If meth is the only way to upload God's word then good Christians will take meth. I haven't used meth in a while. Frankly it's a sad state of affairs, but it's nothing compared to the problems with scouting. Games of incomplete information are interesting simply because players are capable of balancing complicated defenses against multivariate aggression. Look at 2003 Artosis. The world of spam was only just on the horizon and people still thought about the complicated problems involved in developing a tactical defense that would later come to be embodied in Flash's tank lines. But no it doesn't matter. We need more scouts. More and more and more and more scouts. Eventually the whole world will collapse into a simple scouting exercise. That seems to be the message Blizzard is sending with adepts, and the new cloaked mines. I don't agree with it at all but it has nothing to do with meth and I think it's pretty offensive for you to insinuate that I would use drugs like that. I hope you're not serious.

I refuse to believe this could be written by a sober mind
I do enjoy reading your posts bro, sorry if I offended

This is like reading Nietzsche man, I'm loving it.
|
I see your point, and I agree wholeheartedly.
|
Im still not sure whether i got trolled or not. I didnt get the point so i lean towards the first thing. Nice.
|
Why is half of this written in a picture and half not?
|
Because I am in fear of cashing out.

I am very glad to see that mathematicians are finally stepping up their game and working toward a starcraft theory of everything. The harmonic equilibrium is indeed very exciting. Since the math is too complicated for me, is there a layman explanation for the discrepancy between the two tangents?

Not sure if knowledge bomb or firecracker.

It is impossible to approach the same point from two angles simultaneously. If it were possible to approach the same point from two angles simultaneously then calculus would fail. If we had two hands and were trying to draw a circle from the same starting point, heading in "opposite" directions, at the same rate, until each line converged, it would be impossible. Calculus requires that we can be "as close as you want" to the object point (where we will draw the tangent line). How are we getting closer? We are operating with a complex notion of symmetry. We rely upon a computational property of symmetry to state our conclusion "this is the tangent line at point x", but x is factually two different "real" points talking about one speculated-to-exist "object" point.
