this proposal hurts my brain.

Basically if it passes, the people who voted for it score bigtime and the people who voted against get severely -PUNISHED-. The fewer the ‘against’ votes, the bigger the reward/punishment.

You could have avoided the use of the reciprocal by flipping the fraction below the 1 and using it instead.

I ought to have known that. I’m REALLY rusty if that never crossed my mind.

 
COV
(um, I’d urge anyone who intends to vote for the proposal to do what I just did.)

Doesn’t the previous vote not count?

COV - ?

yeah that reciprocal is pointless, its just x=h/a you know :).  and also the proposal is very ambiguous, if it weren’t for the commenty italics bit (which does nothing anyway) it would have 2 different interpretations. It could be (1/a)/h=(1/ah)  or 1/(a/h)=(h/a).

I don’t like rewards for voting for proposals, and my GL’s already 0, so this costs me nothing.

Jay: Change of Vote

Dustin: No, the previous vote doesn’t count. You could interpret it to count, but then spikebrennan’s GL is increased and decreased by the final sum, and so stays the same. Your vote as the author, by the way, is automatically assumed to be “for”. You don’t have to make it explicit.

Doesn’t the text describe “x=(1/a)/f ” (which can’t be higher than one) rather than the formula in your comment? Currently, (1/2)/21=.02 vs. 1/(2/21)=10.5

Numbers at the end of my previous comment do not include dogfish’s vote.

i think it describes both, Ornithopter and my GL’s 0 too so I’ll COV to

per spikebrennan i change my vote to and then i change my vote again to

that COV does nothing, “If a Henchman casts more than one Vote on a Proposal, only the most recent of those Votes is counted.” so your old ones aren’t counted when you work out all that maths, surely? And also the more against votes you have the smaller the bonus is anyway?

now what

Uh…

“Doesn’t the text describe “x=(1/a)/f “ (which can’t be higher than one) rather than the formula in your comment? Currently, (1/2)/21=.02 vs. 1/(2/21)=10.5 “

In my string of thought, if y the phrase would have had to have been:

“a sum equal to the reciprocol of the number of Henchmen who voted AGAINST the proposal, divided by the total number of active playing Henchmen”

The coma (or lack of it) changes the logical precedence. That’s how I parse it, anyhow.

However, I made a typo in the comment as you pointed out. In the commentary ‘f’ should have been ‘a’ or vice versa. It ought to have read “x=1/(a/h)”.

I just can’t keep the petty mistakes away, can I? :(

I can’t even get a comment without an error.

Correction: “In my string of thought, if you were right the phrase would have had to have been:”

COV after the hiatus

I think you should just s/k this one since the math is causing so much of a problem.

resubmitted post hiatus

i thought we did away with that clause during DoV’s. must have been CoJs only
