So when did everyone make 100 alts to camp every raid target at once?

I quit when I heard Oly wasn't gay for me

He was only ever gay for me.

Helnam, on the other hand..

Indicating that people do things for more than money.

Righto.

Actually you can't make infinite amounts of platinum, you can only make arbitrarily large amounts of platinum.

You are correct. I would have to define an amount and that amount may not be infinite.

Long story short: I am sided with the npcs, and I hope they kill everyone.

You don't have a background in math, do you? Good troll Giegue, good troll.

Nope.. but I'm still confused. I mean I know an infinite is unobtainable, but there is nothing to say that Nilbog can't continuilly generate platinum until the end of time using a sql loop.

If we're saying he can't insert a ∞ into the database that is incorrect. If we're saying he can't theoretically create a never ending loop that does nothing but create platinum that is incorrect.

If we're instead saying that he can't "create an infinite" well that's only logical since they cannot be obtained/proven to exist. So.. I'm confused.

But you could continously generate said amount, or you could change the table column from an int (presumably) to a varchar and just insert the symbol for infinity.

There are a lot of things you could do!

First you said:

Wow.

Wow, I said that cause I was listing a non classic idea... Reading comprehension, learn some.

Personally I don't find this kind of quibbling over the precise definition of infinity to be very interesting, but if we are going to nitpick Nilbog can't even generate arbitrarily large amounts of platinum because he is limited by the memory/disk size of the machine.

He's more limited by the data type (number of bits) for the platinum field (and gold/silver/bronze if you want to get technical) than he is by the memory/disk size. As long as you have memory to spare, you can dynamically assign bits to specific fields, but if you can only utilize a maximum number of bits, you can never have values higher than that artificial maximum. In this day and age, you almost always have memory to spare.

Ah, but he can create multiple accounts!

Also I had a random idea for account swapping: what if we logged the IP address that every account had logged into. You can only change the password on the emu if the IP address has not changed for at least a month.
