Does anyone play Civilization V? I've been playing a lot lately and I think I'm not horrible.

I tried playing it but it seems soooo bad in comparison with 4. Dumbed down basically everything except combat. My comp also has a hard time running it which is probably the biggest reason I dont play it (I have a pretty decent comp so wtf firaxis).

Have you played 4 sheridan?

I did play 4 a lot (I've played since 2), but I like most of the changes to 5. The only real problem is that the AI is pretty bad, especially at managing units. The new combat is a lot more chess-like (although the -33% penalty to combat in open terrain is questionable), and the civs' unique abilities are all pretty interesting and it feels like they change how you play different civs more than in previous Civ games. I'm not totally sold on the culture/policy stuff vs how it was in civ4, but it's something to mess with. City-states take a while to get used to, and I'm kind of ambivalent on them.

And yeah the reqs for running it are pretty high for some reason (wtf a strategy game needs with all the graphics stuff, I'll never know). My comp is about 2 years old but I have been able to play a game on a 'huge' map with 16 civs after turning some of the graphics options off.

I don't think it's that interesting because there isn't that much of a correlation between the two. It's easy to check that (2^(n-1))((2^n)-1) is a centered nonagonal number for any positive integer n; the set of numbers of this form does contain the even perfect numbers, but nothing about the fact that they are perfect really pops up here.

Yeah, actually later I realized that since (2^n)-1 is always the sum of natural numbers up to a point (always odd), it's also a triangular number, and perfect numbers are (2^(n-1))*((2^n)-1), so all even perfect numbers are triangular numbers, as well as several other kinds of n-gonal numbers.

EDIT: Oops it's actually (n^2 + n)/2 which is the sum of natural numbers up to n, which when you do the algebra, shows that (2^(n-1))*((2^n)-1) is the (2^n -1)th triangular number.

Whoops, I missed something. My claim was true about odd positive integers, but is actually false for all even ones. The argument goes like this:

((2^n)+1) is divisible by 3 iff n is odd. To show this, one can use a pretty straightforward induction argument built around the fact that 1+2+...+2^(n-1)=2^n-1.

Nc((2^n+1)/3)=(2^(n-1))(2^n-1) for all odd integers n. (2^n+1)/3 is an integer iff n is odd, so (2^(n-1))(2^n-1) is definitely a centered nonagonal number for odd n. However, Nc, when the domain is extended to [1, infinity) in the natural way, is injective, so the only pre-image of (2^(n-1))(2^n-1) is (2^n+1)/3, which isn't an integer for even n.

I watched a video in econ about how money was made and it inspired this great piece of art. Here is the whole thing:

coins are minted, bills are printed.
smokin weed and fukkin b!tches
ridin down the street im pimpin
rainin greenbacks on these b!tches

first the coins in big-ass sheets
ridin down that ****
then some **** makes fukkin circles
that **** will now get stamped.

the fuck-ups soon get filtered out.
now we just got perfect ****
that **** is heated hot as fuck
then the nice design is stamped.

coins are minted, bills are printed
smokin weed and fukkin b!tches
ridin down the street im pimpin
rainin greenbacks on these b!tches

da bills is where da moneys at,
time to make that ****.
we got them green-ass money sheets,
then that **** is printed.

now that **** is cutted up
and serial number stamped.
pack that **** in money boxes
and send it to da bank

now you know how money's made,
you stupid fukking *****.
just go away and be a *****
and let me fuck my *****.

also incidentally if you bend someone named sheridan over or fold them in any other way

you are practicing the art of sherigami
