You should probably redirect your old username to your new one now. Otherwise people are going to continue to "whoru" you. Karate Jesus 20:40, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

True. Do you know how I should handle the talkpage, what with the archiving stuff I would need to do through? Emmett 20:43, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Archive the stuff on your old talk page, and place the archive links on this one. Then just redirect the talk page here. Your userpage, you can just move if you wish. -- Wyn talk 20:45, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

You might want to avail yourself of the new merge user extension. Your contributions here as Shadowcrest have a lot more weight than those as Emmett. -- Wyn talk 04:04, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

I don't really see how that is the case, seeing as I contributed sporadically and didn't touch anything in GWW: namespace other than voting in elections... I've done considerably more "admin-like" things on Emmett (voting on RfAs, commenting on policy changes, etc.) in my opinion- the only thing I can remember specifically not commenting on was the Feedback stuff and that's because I arrived months into the discussion. But if you say so! – Emmett 15:48, 9 October 2009 (UTC)

Didn't know you had unblocked him afterwards, thanks for the consideration of my actions but I trust your judgement matey, so don't worry about stepping on my toes. I tend to be a bit care bear'y in nature and that can lead me to being a bit slower to act on things thus I honestly don't mind if another sysop feels that the user has already had enough chances. Much -- Salome 03:01, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Well, before I discovered the vandalism elsewhere I didn't really care whether he was blocked or not, so then when you warned him I thought it would look pretty dumb to be warned and then blocked a second later, so I figured I ought to revert. Thank you for the vote of confidence though :) – Emmett 17:13, 25 November 2009 (UTC)

Nominating ArenaNet staff for administrative positions on the wiki is inappropriate. While they are members of the community, they already have distinctive standing. -- Wyn talk 00:07, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Standing has little to with it. Policy wise, there is nothing stopping anyone from nominating a staff member, though I imagine that they'd decline on the spot. NuVII 14:27, 17 December 2009 (UTC)

Troll nominations and arbcomm

The arbcomm aside, could we please not collectively be a little bitch to a bunch of PvX trolls? Droks was an amazing, high quality troll on PvX. Droks on GWW was a poor attempt by someone else to troll him. The account only ever existed for trolling and has been inactive for ages. There is no valid reason to nominate it or let the nomination stand. A quick clarifier, if Droks came back and nominated himself I would have no objections. I'm not going to undo your undo, but I'm going to ask you to strong reconsider doing it yourself. Misery 11:17, 9 February 2010 (UTC)

GWW is not facebook

I'm glad someone said something about that. The level of activity in the userspace:talk seems a bit excessive as of late, especially by a relatively small number of people. It's kinda of an eye sore on RC with so many of the same thing spammed all over... The past few days seemed especially worse; makes me want to propose some kind of "GWW is not facebook" policy, but I know it won't work. But then gain the repeated banning and warnings don't seem to deter some users either. In any case, thanks to you and other sysops for trying to limit talk page spam. --Lania Elderfire 05:18, 6 March 2010 (UTC)

Are we getting a 90/10 rule here? Morphy 14:26, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Obviously not, as then I would have to ban myself and the rest of the wiki minus maybe Silver Edge. Nice attempt at a slippery slope, though. – Emmett 15:12, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

I don't think it's the number of user:talk edits that matter since there are a lot of important discussions that occur there. But there isn't any way of distinguishing between spam (sometimes vile) and thoughtful discussion just by numbers... yeah slippery slope indeed, since then I'll have to ban myself too with the 90/10 rule ^^. --Lania Elderfire 15:44, 7 March 2010 (UTC)

Order of operations says it's 9, not 1. M/D are of the same priority; 6 ÷ 2 * 3 = 3*3 = 9. – Emmett 01:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

But wouldn't standard OoO be overridden by the 2(1+2) grouping? Which would be 6 ÷ 2(1+2) = 6 ÷ 2(3) = 6 ÷ 6 = 1.-- Pyron Sy 01:20, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

So, my original calculations was correct. thought 3 in the end, because wouldn't that be the "sum" of the answer? o.O Kaisha 01:22, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Since no one really uses "÷" outside of elementary school, a better way to look at the equation is

The fact that 2 is with the (1+2) screws up everything. --Riddle 02:43, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

*EDIT* I should clarify: In my mind, "2(1+2)" looks like "(2+4)" with a 2 factored out. --Riddle 02:49, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

That's exactly how I approached at it at first. But I dunno. →[ »Halogod (talk)« ]← 03:44, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

I remember that I was taught this... to add what's in the parenthesis (or whatever that word is for ()) first. So that'd be 3. then it'd look like 6 ÷ 2(3) basically six divided by 2 first (as I was taught) leaves 3. then you have 3(3). Multiply that and you'd have 9. After all you multiply your answer (from six ÷ by 2 as you're pretending the (3) isn't there) by what you added in the parenthesis. :-) Is this correct Emmett? Kaisha 04:44, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

In other words and another answer to this... Take the equation and turn it into this (6 ÷ 2) * (1 + 2) As 2 is in both and we know two is going to be divided by six and multiplied by the answer in (). so you put it into two separate sections as seen there. I added one plus two easily. and then I divided six by two. then I got each answer and multiplied. It's not really that hard, but it can seem complicated. It took me several math problems to figure this all out as this and compound numbers in my pre-algebra. I'm not the best at math, but I had two (one in hs. and one in college) teachers to help me learn some things. Kaisha 04:55, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Except I don't believe that's the case. I'll do 50 ÷ 25, which we know is 2. However, if I want to be a rebel and confuse the hell out of all of you, I'll factor 5 out of 25, thusly:

50 ÷ 5(5) = 2

Because we can, let's take it a step further and say that the 5 in parenthesis is really 2+3 (since 2+3 = 5), therefore:

50 ÷ 5(2+3) = 2

Does the form of the last equation look familiar? However, if we were to lump the 50 ÷ 5 together, we get a different critter:

(50 ÷ 5) * (2+3)

(10) * (5) = 50

50 != 2

--Riddle 05:25, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Here's a site that helps out a lot with the current equation that's not like your's. :-) have fun reading! Most have come up with the same answer - 9. Kaisha 05:39, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

PEMDAS! :) Just rewrite the equation to be 6 / 2 * (1 + 2). Then parenthesis first 6 / 2 * 3. M/D same priority so 3 * 3 = 9. (Also if you see the equation this way Riddle, the fraction in your image would become 6 over 2 multiplied by (1 + 2)–alistic 06:01, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Let's start using variables! If we assume that x = 1+2, then we write the equation as: 6/2x; i.e. the 2 goes with the x to the denominator. Continuing on with the equation yields 3/x. When you substitute 1+2 back in for x, the equation becomes 3/(1+2) = 3/3 = 1. --Riddle 06:19, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

There is no fraction. / is usually used for ÷ in most forms that do not have ÷ as an option (like a keyboard). Also, A number next to a number like 3(3) is considered in most forms (check math.com for verfication) to be another form of multiplication in Algebra besides * . Kaisha 06:24, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Division is really multiplication, but with a fraction. 10 ÷ 2 = 10 * (1/2) = 10/2. That's why your TI-83's and up started using "/" instead of "÷". --Riddle 06:30, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

The 2 does not go with the x. Ties between multiplication and division are broken by evaluating from left to right. Therefore 6/2x = (6/2)x ≠ 6/(2x).--Irgendwer 06:54, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

6÷2(1+2) = 6/2(1+2). The ÷ and / signs are interchangeable. They both mean divided by. So the equation as originally presented was 6/2(1+2), or 6 over 2(1+2), a fraction. What is under the bar must be done first. So your denominator is 2(1+2) or 6. Numerator is 6 thus 6/6 or 1. If 6 and 2 were to be divided first, then they would be in parentheses, and the original equation would've looked like this: (6÷2)(1+2).

To prove that the answer is 1 simply substitute that for the answer and make one of the other numbers whose value you know a variable and solve.

6/x(1+2)=1
6=1x(1+2)
6=3x
2=x
So 1 is the answer. Sardaukar 13:23, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Order of operations states that you need to solve (1+2) first, which is 3.

The equation has an exception. Sardaukar 13:51, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

/doh Yeah, the answer is 9. Had it backwards. Ah well, I haven't taken a math class in 20 years, so have mercy on me. Thanks Emmett for the post. *disappear in a puff of logic* Sardaukar 14:19, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Ultimately, it's ambiguous. x(y+z) is typically seen as a distribution which would yield 1, but an overly strict interpretation of the equation would yield 9. -points --JonTheMon 14:59, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

Distribution is still subject to the standard order of operations. Interpretation in mathematics only exists to the extent that always get the same answer. --Irgendwer 17:18, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

The distribution is not what you see Irgendwer...There is no x. Kaisha 03:18, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

If you want to get really tacky, you can get rewrite the entire thing in fractions (omitting that what is not really required to be rewritten, the parethesis' content):

6/1 ÷ 2/1 * (1+2) =

6/1 * 1/2 * (3) =

6 * 0.5 * 3 =

3 * 3 = 9 or 6 * 1.5 = 9

Fractions, so basic it's not really gonna get any more basic(er).

Also note that the issue never said it's 6 / <the rest>. That is an assumption. If it was in fact 6 / <the rest>, that <the rest> would be in parentheses. Which would yield the equation Riddle turned into a picture. The answer to that is even worse, because it results in 1.

But the actual issue is 6÷2(1+2) = ? , rewritten strictly as 6/2*(1+2) which equals 9.

So to summarize; Emmett's issue (on his user page) yields 9, whereas Riddle's equation yields 1. This is a matter of personal interpretation, but only the answer 9 is correct.

Maths is sincere like sylvari. - Infinite - talk 08:41, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

The parentheses are indeed the key. 6/2(1+2) = 9 whereas 6/(2(1+2)) = 1. Sardaukar 08:59, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

This is quite enjoyable. We should do this more often. — Why 12:08, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Ordinarily things I post on my userpage are ignored. Not quite sure why this generated the largest section to ever be on my talkpage, especially since I was largely not a part of it. :p – Emmett 20:30, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Smashwikia again

Hi Emmett. I was wondering if you could appoint Megatron1 to bureaucratship on Smashwikia. After all, better to have an active bureaucrat than not. 98.237.192.169 16:01, 28 May 2011 (UTC)

Kaisha email

Sorry for missing you, I haven't seen you editing recently and you're in the "semi-inactive" list. If you actually care to read it, I can forward it to you. It's basically a lot of stupid cussing and NPA trolling calling me a basement-dweller and the like. ~FarloTalk 20:10, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

I am always around, I just don't feel the need to chime in on most discussions... which is why I listed myself as semi-active. However, like I said on the noticeboard, I've seen quite enough from her that I feel no burning need to validate my opinions with yet another email. :p Thanks for the offer though. – Emmett 20:19, 24 August 2011 (UTC)

hi shadowcrest

are u still a twilight fanboy please respond --nova 00:19, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

also multiplication by juxtaposition takes precedence over other forms of multiplication and division

okay im done now --nova 00:19, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

More than most men, I'd say.

According to whom?

Also hi. – Emmett 00:22, 26 September 2011 (UTC)

according to math? if it was 6/2a then it's obviously 6/(2*a). brackets do not imply multiplication, they only serve to reduce ambiguity because you can't write 2(3) as 23. therefore the juxtaposition still applies and takes precedence

of course if it was 6/2*(1+2) then it would obviously be 9

come play guild wors with me and gib me monies (obsi is expensive) --nova 00:12, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

Omission of an operator is multiplication in everything I've ever seen in the history of ever. "In algebra, multiplication involving variables is often written as a juxtaposition (e.g. xy for x times y or 5x for five times x). This notation can also be used for quantities that are surrounded by parentheses (e.g. 5(2) or (5)(2) for five times two)." (1) Furthermore, according to the calc teachers I gave the survey to, / is a grouping symbol and ÷ is not. Computer science order of operations thinks it's 9; math teachers think it's 9 significantly (statistically) more than english teachers do; even Facebook was weighted more heavily toward 9 (2).

My current activity in GW is basically limited to doing campaigns with my old e-bf because college is a lot of work. I'd farm UW with you sometime, but I'd have to learn how again and I'd also want half the ecto because I like to pretend sometimes that I care about ghostly hero title :p – Emmett 00:35, 27 September 2011 (UTC)

yeah thats exactly what i was saying. so if 6/2x = 6/(2x) then why isn't 6/2(1+2) = 6/(2(1+2)

and i think u just giving me money is a better idea -- nova 03:22, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Sysop rights cleanup

Hello, I appreciate you've been inactive for a fair while, but on the odd chance you've still got your talk page watchlisted/notifications enabled, I thought out of courtesy I would leave a message (admittedly I'm going to copy-paste the same message for all affected users). (1) We're going through a bit of a review of which inactive users have sysop rights (including reconfirmation), and (2) here's a link to yours: Guild Wars Wiki:Requests for adminship/Emmett. -Chieftain Alex 19:02, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
