Crime & Punishment

I'll admit, I really suck at math, and I only understand about a third of the math words thrown out here.

Still, the hard purity of a math ownage shines right through any lack of knowledge.

This is some amazing math ownage right here.

Gevlon calls them 'tears,' but thanks. It is kinda basic statistics, probably learned it initially in college but would definitely be rusty if I didn't use this stuff regularly at work.

Most of his 'conclusions' are either a massive reach, or flat out imagined causal relationships - so I just laugh and move on. But when i saw that post I decided to lay the math-smackdown since it was so blatantly obvious that he was trying to out-math people but failing miserably. I think that since he can no longer claim lemming kills as his own, and MoA is getting stomped on around delve, that he has turned to digging up old kb stats to announce to the world his impending victory.

I'm guessing we will not see him re-do his little correlation analysis correctly (because it would result in either proving his claim false, or require actual knowledge of wtf he is doing), but we will likely see what he calls a 'tears' post where he claims we are all crying because he proved he is beating the goons and that we tried and failed to outwit him using big words and nonsensical math (like he tried to do in his last post in this thread).

e: Oh, and I just realized his whole claim was that killing a freighter would decrease the amount of ships you destroy in pvp 6 months later. I guess killing someones hauler stops them from flying frigates

Nope, in Gevlon's data set, you would be categorized as someone not playing / playing very little, and the one and only cause of this is the fact your ship exploded. Doesn't matter if it was insured, your alliance paid for it, or whether you had fun doing it - because your ship exploded you are now less likely to log into the game.
It seems weird that people doing PVP in a PVP game would then make them stop enjoying the game, but Gevlon has proven this irrefutably on his blog, so it must be true.

You might be concerned, since he has made lots of claims before, like how TEST are going to hold us off in Fountain thanks to his great business ideas, but this is the one, friend, this is finally the blog post where a single thing he says has any basis in fact.

(it isn't)

Hm, I may have to try this. My self esteem needs a boost.

So how about that titan bounty?

e: forums in "unintentional double post" shocker.

That's actually nice idea... I could try

I'd like to believe it's #2, but this late in the game I'm positive it's #1.

How Gevlon's mind can rationalize away 30 pages of being dunked without a single person at any time ever agreeing with anything he says

Also, as he has stated, anyone who agrees with a GSF poster is obviously an alt.

Therefore, everything anyone ever says about his laundry list of terrible ideas, that have never come true in any fashion, is just tears!

Okay, I can't match the levels of math dunking. But I feel a needless desire to post...

So by saying "This will keep me busy for a year or more" he actually already predicted how long it'll take him to give up?

I mean, this is all a cookie-cutter movie story about a hero going bad. Our young, brave knight starts his fight against an evil, evil empire (responsible for the untimely destruction of their thatched roof cottage, no doubt). In his quest for revenge he starts to achieve some progress (taking hisec POCOs, briefly in our case) while preaching his desire to fight evil.

In his grand crusade however, he's becoming just as twisted as his enemy - if not more. His "deadzone POCOs" have shafted hisec industrialists more than the evil empire, and the evil empire had sane tax rates in place before. He rallied the young and powerless peasants of hisec, funded them to fight the evil... and then promptly sold them to N3/PL as pets in chains (Instead of continuing the fight near their enemy, they will toil in the rat mines of Oasa.) because "numbers said so". It's a rule not to screw with your blues even in a hellhole like the CFC. Gevlon can't even keep that up - effectively scamming many new players (again, not even GSF scams actual new players.) and selling them out to N3/PL.

All we need now is the Evil Emperor (reprising his role, The Mittani. A round of applause please.) pointing out that Gevlon had become more evil than those who wear the dreaded fatbee emblem. Then saying something like "Join us, and together... no wait, you're the pubbiest of all the pubbies, and your posts are so bad we've changed the unit measure of shitposting to 'Gevlons'." (With the current record for worst post of all time being at 0.05 Gevlons. It is rumored that exceeding 1 Full Gevlon will collapse the entirety of internet into a black hole).
