Nice! What kinda guitar? Need any help, lemme know.

Alright, no problem then. Was it good?

Rising Moon approves.

What book?

Well, have you?

Besides, you might've gotten a million books published, if you're a writer, you want one more.

Alright, I'll go hunt one down who I believe would be a good fit. I got connections, yo.

Zar--Would she be comfortable getting a replacement?

Alex, same to you?

1. Yeah. Well, not my own, but my dad plays (has been for 17 years), so I use his Marshall amp. Only got one input, which is kinda annoying sincere it means we can't jam, but it's a pretty decent amp altogether, at leats for just starting out on electric. Should I start saving for a really good one?

2. Haha yup. My dad's are named Bertha and Cherice. I try to name mine something a bit less....ugly, lawlz, but the point is it's personal. Those're both form songs. May is named from the Goo Goo Dolls song Slide.

3. not sure, actually, think it's a Dreadnought, but don't hold me to that.

4. Now you're good.

Yeah, so like I said, anyone for bumping the date? Otherwise--

Zarayna--Can you guys maybe do it over e-mail or some other form of communication? Otherwise, we can bump the date, or worst comes to worst, just the two of you write it.

Alex--Again, bump the date? If that won't help, do you want a replacement? PM me if you have anyone in particular in mind.

Sorry this took so long to get to, guys--been really behind on pretty much everything as of late--but Click and tent are being added, and a new update's on the way!

Alright, if two teams are now seriously hindered, anyone for bumping the date? We'd have normal updates in the meantime.

1. Yeah, it plays, amazingly well! It's insanely sensitive, which is both really fantastic in general terms, and really frustrating because every time I hammer on and play a note on a different string, the hammer on becomes a pull-off. Otherwise, though, it's just beyond smooth and has an incredibly good feel to it.

2. Nope, coming up with a name myself.

3. Only got one, a Washburn acoustic named May. Can't find a picture right now, let you know when I got one.

4. Yes.

There are no real equations to this. It's a complex idea best shown on a graphing calculator, a quirky notion to explain a graphical oddity.

 

"Negative infinity" as I like to call it, is the infinite number of negative numbers there are.

 

Let's take a look at the graphs in question that made me come to this rather strange conclusion (after all, I did come up with this idea three years ago [yes, I was 11] and still have not found a way to disprove it):

 

The most reasonable one to see is one that goes straight to the point is the graph of one divided by X.

 

 

Fairly innocent, right?

 

Not so. To my keenly trained mathematical eye, I figured that it really wouldn't be so logical to have TWO separate lines. Logically, one equation, one line, right?

 

Seeing my calculator actually compute this, drawing a line that goes down into infinity and re-emerging at infinity on the other side. There's no way to get to infinity, though, that's the issue. It would go on forever, but it'd have to come out on the other side.

 

"But Sumiki!" I hear you cry. "Why don't the lines go all over the place?"

 

As it goes into positive infinity on the x axis, it would logically re-emerge, as per the theory, right on the line that the graph began with. So the graph is, essentially, repeating itself over and over and over again an infinite number of times. It will never deviate.

 

If one is willing to expand the concept a bit, let's take another common graph: X.

 

 

While it's a slightly smaller diagram, one can still see the same general idea: if it's one line, it will repeat itself as it travels to infinity and begins at negative infinity.

 

Hyperbolas illustrate the same point.

 

 

If you follow the line (easy to see on a graphing calculator), it can, once again, easily repeat itself - something that's two lines becomes the more logical one line.

 

Any questions now?

Interestingly enough, Non-Euclidian Geometry--specifically Riemannian--works exactly this way, but with any given point on a graph. For anyone who doesn't know, Euclidian geometry--what most basic high school kids learn--is in 2D, where every point exists at one location on a plane. Riemannian geometry is 3D and can be applied to our reality. A line on a Riemannian plane goes around the whole three-dimensional surface (think sphere), so a point is in two locations--one location, and that location's exact geographical opposite on the other side of the geometric figure. Einstein's Theory of Relativity's based on this.

Anyway, my point is that this is a lot like Riemannian geometry, where a point basically is somewhere and then emerges on the other side.

Also, I still miss your proof. You seem to be saying it's legitimate to count 1, 2, 3, 4, -10, -9, -8, and so on until it repeats. Don't see the support.

Yeah, B6 said no. What sucks even more is by the tome 45 days is up, ToD's fad will probably be over!

Sure! I'll add you.

I was going to join, but, d'oh!

Date bumped. 8D

Kehuri--Any SS or Epic.

You guys working?

CLIRC

It's an acronym for the names!

In that case, I vote for Ravvy the Indecisive Crab Clerk. xD

Mr. Mayno--Yup, weekly updates will continue normally starting next week.

TS--Alright, welcome to the competition!

Haven't asked the Library, but there's no rule against a team Epic, just a round robin, which is when anyone can come and post. And that's specifically because it would result in confused chaos. In the case of a pre-selected team of authors, who regulate each chap and deliberately prevent that confused chaos, there's no problem, and no rule against it.

Oh, no, the official entry topic was last week. If you're sure, I'll keep my place.

Ad--Every team member posts, rotation format.

B&R--Well, technically, entry period's until tonight. Would you be okay replacing me on a team with Ad and Zar?

Wait, B&R, did you enter?

Hawk--Yup, no problem.
