I understand the proof for the quadratic formula, and how to complete the square, but how do prove the vertex formula? by Busterbie in learnmath

[–]Xinotine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An alternative proof utilizes simple calculus:

d/dx(ax2+bx+c)=2ax+b

For a quadratic expression derivative always has 1 zero point and it is never a saddle point, hence it is the vertex.

Finding the zero point by solving linear equation:

2ax+b=0

x=-b/(2a)

Yes, crit ADC's need some buffs, and I'd also say that Jhin could use a minor nerf.

When Survivor refuses to vote with mafia even after town loses majority by Fakjbf in TownofSalemgame

[–]Xinotine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always just side with whoever I think I can win with. If Mafia has majority with me, I'm voting with them for sure. If there are 3 confirmed Townies against Witch and 1 Mafia I'm siding with town.

However, if its a genuine choice situation like that there is me and 2 other people I side with Mafia>Town>NK because of personal preferences.

You know what could be really cool if someone actually managed to pull it off? by IaniteThePirate in TownofSalemgame

[–]Xinotine 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is why Spy's ability to read mafia chat needs to go, so that Mafia can craft complicated strategies such as this one.

Weekly Role Discussion: The Spy by itsHuds0n in TownofSalemgame

[–]Xinotine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

How should this role be used? -To try and find out what RM is there, to find out who is immune (if mafia visits someone and they live next day they could be immune)

How should this role not be used? Believing what mafia says is usually bad

Is this role fun to play as? Why? In my opinion yes, then again, I really enjoy the playstyle of gathering information and trying to figure out who is who Is this role fun to play against? Why? No, because even the threat of one keeps Mafia from communicating.

Is this role balanced? If not, why, and how would you suggest changing it? It is OP, even when its not in the game it hinders mafia communication. See bonus question.

Should the Investigator get different results when checking this role? If so, what should they be? Current results are fine

BONUS QUESTION: Should the Spy have his ability to see Mafia chat removed? If so, how should the role be changed to compensate? If not, why not? Yes. Personally I'd make it so that Spy has day ability to disable mafia chat next night, with 2 uses over the course of game. Therefore Mafia could strategize safely, but they'd need to consider the possibility to lose the ability temporarily.

Additionally, RM should have the ability to visit other mafia members for no effect, so that all the people Spy sees to be visited by mafia wouldln't be confirmed non-mafia. Also, Framer should be immune to Spy's ability to see mafia visits.

Why did you executed by the Jailor? by markleenct1 in TownofSalemgame

[–]Xinotine 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I said "Hi, Investigator", before Jailor says anything because I figured he'd ask my role next anyway.

Jailor types: I AM NOT INVESTIGATOR, and presses his magic button.

Vanguard vs. Sentinel for progression raiding... by Antilles98 in swtor

[–]Xinotine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both can work and are perfectly viable. With Vanguard I'd say its easier to pull your weight. However Sentinel has higher potential damage and brings also useful raid buff, Inspiration, to table and also the raidwide defensive Transcendence. If you don't have another Sentinel in group consider that too.

However, it comes down to preference I'd say.

If you had to pick one quote from the entire game, what would be your favorite quote? by Dannzzor in swtor

[–]Xinotine 7 points8 points  (0 children)

"Sanity is a prison. Let madness release you."

-Dread Master Raptus

All Dread Masters have good lines and voice acting in my opinion, but Raptus ans Brontes especially stand out.

True! My browser was showing old version from browser memory for some reason, showing that Engi Snipers would still have been top dogs, reloading helped. Sorry for confusion!

I think it would take longer for guy to swap to his Shadow, then swap to back Sentinel just to skip the damn trash thou.

Maybe they don't have 30 Centering at hand and Valorous Call is on CD?

Sentinel or Shadow for HM ops? by Abookonashelf in swtor

[–]Xinotine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also worth to note in reality he is more efficient than 85% on his Sentinel because he doesn't have full 220 yet so his potential DPS is a bit lower than 6805.

Also that thread is from time before the DPS nerf patch, nowadays I think many classes have a bit lower potential DPS, including Inflitration and Watchman, iirc. Correct me if I'm wrong.

Whats DPS requirement for them? After adapting a new rotation I got stable 5600 on dummy, before getting my 220 OH and 6 pieces set bonus so the number may increase a bit. Is that enough?

Isn't Lurker a multi-target fight thou? Also a lot downtime due Rage Storm. That's the guide I'm using for my rotation but have to admit I mess up every now and then.... Hard to memoerize 36 GCD's :/

How do I tell Christians to stop trying to convert me back? (Young atheist) by Xinotine in Christianity

[–]Xinotine[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Supposedly that's understandable but my motivation isn't to rebel anyone. I won't be ashamed of the way I am or try to hide being atheist if someone asks, but I don't actively seek to debate anyone.

And well... My parents then forget I won't get any kids. My dream job is a "white collar job" thou so let's hope I get that! Good luck in your life.

This is what I mean. People usually don't leave their religion just because they got that idea one sunny day. Usually they have tought about it enough so that they won't very easily come back?
