	[quote name="Zseni"][quote name="William H. Hayt, Jr."][quote name="curst"]<i>SUPPLY ZONES!!!!!!!!</i> + boring = boring.[/quote] According to this equation, boring - boring = supply zones. 0 = supply zones? I DON'T FUCKING THINK SO. +( The math cyclops is crying and it's all your fault.[/quote] It's fatuous to assume that curst is using the + operator as we understand it for use under <b>Z</b> and its sub- and super-structures, especially since none of the elements participating in the operation are numbers. Especially fatuous is the assumption that the operation ("addition") has identity "0", interpreted so traditionally as an integer value. While + formally (typically) denotes a commutative operation, it's also not a given that SUPPLY ZONES!!!!!!!! + boring = boring + SUPPLY ZONES!!!!!!!!, nor is it a given that boring has an inverse under the operation. But let's assume, in order to cut down on speculation and give your cyclops something to be more cheerful about, that + is a well-defined binary operation and SUPPLY ZONES!!!!!!! and boring are elements of a set being operated upon, and we assume moreover that the set is closed under the operation. These qualifications are pure formalisms strictly for the cyclops' sake. I find it much more plausible that "supply zones" is the operation identity, making boring + (-boring) = supply zones a simple MOF from an assumed group structure of game elements. That is to say: adding supply zones to any game does not improve any more than it degrades the quality of the game. Moreover, "SUPPLY ZONES" may be a divisor of the operation identity - not at all uncommon - with !!!!!!!! being the other divisor under an assumed ring structure of game elements (implying that SUPPLY ZONES !!!!!!!! + anything = anything where SUPPLY ZONES + anything = anyotherthing.) If your math cyclops is crying, I hope this brief detour into group and ring theory cheers him up. He will find further trenchant reading <a href="http://www.math.niu.edu/~rusin/known-math/index/20-XX.html">here</a> and <a href="http://www.math.niu.edu/~rusin/known-math/index/13-XX.html">here</a>, although commutative rings are but one of many sorts of rings he can learn about at that page.[/quote]
