Vial of the Sands Raffle, the ToS and you.

Posted 01/18/11 at 2:17 PM by Nayt
I will be raffling off the [Vial of the Sands] tonight at 5:30pm CST/Server on Sargeras (Alliance). This has been a pretty weird campaign for me. I have been raffling off items for five years. I have never been suspended (until yesterday). This really upset me. I could care less about not being able to log in. However I was upset that the effort I was putting in to try and make my server and community more fun was ruined by two or three people literally spam reporting me for "scamming"...

The advent of the new DoT haste scaling system has left many people wondering how to compute the values of haste at which they gain extra ticks. People frequently ask this on the Druid threads that I participate in here, and it seems to be a frequent question for many classes. Here I'm going to briefly give the correct computation.

Haste rating to obtain the k-th tick on a DoT or HoT is given by:
\left(\frac{2k-1}{2n}\cdot\frac{1}{H}-1\right)\cdot R

EDIT: apparently...

Tol Barad, the Prisoner's Dilemma, and Cooperation

Posted 12/28/10 at 4:09 PM by Hamlet
Introduction

In response to the fact that Tol Barad has turned out to be clearly imbalanced in favor of the defender, Blizzard implemented the following change: winning as the attacker rewards 1800 Honor Points (and winning as the defender still rewards 180). For purposes of this analysis, the only thing you need to know about Tol Barad is that the winner of any match will be the defender in the next match.

I'm going to do some brief game-theoretic analysis to show...
