Random small tirade begins NOW. - Oracle - 13 Jul 11
I am here to clarify a term that has been misconstrued far too often in the AC community:
Positive Ratios.
Let's start simple first - what is "positive"?
Besides that whole "glass half-full" shit, in math "positive" means being greater than 0.
In a few pre-requisites for clan admissions, I've seen that one of the necessities is to have a "Positive Ratio", in which they say that said "positive ratio" is 1.00 or higher.
Well that right there is a contradiction, my dear friends.
Just about everybody in AC gets a positive ratio (even if they have like a 0.2 k/d).
The only way you could get anything other than positive (besides idling for a whole match) is if you start TKing your entire team (in which case you probably wouldn't be playing the game since by time you make 2 TKs you'd be banned.)
Anywho,
That is all I have for today.
Toodle-doo
P.S.: Closing thoughts:
Stay in school people!
And learn some math!

correction: everyone's kd ratio number is a positive, except for those with a zero. if u suicide or tk, the score is still 0. if i am not mistaken
a negative ratio is a less literal standpoint. they say, "wow, fewer kills per deaths, this is a NEGATIVE quality he has". they arent being literal, they are saying this in a practical manner, not a mathematical manner.

Indeed you are correct my good sir.
Touche.

Dear community,
I myself would like to object to the whole 0=1 divisor shenanigans. If you are 20-0 your k/d is not in fact 20. It is undefined. The scoreboard is wrong. I win.
Sincerely,
Viper

Another reason ratio was abolished in the new version.

And another reason people rage about it
RE: Random small tirade begins NOW. - Viper - 13 Jul 11
But yet another reason to voice opinions hidden deep within, poised, ready to pounce on the site of such a believer's claim.

I'm feeling more like an author today wolf. I don't know why.
RE: Random small tirade begins NOW. - Fate - 13 Jul 11
I accidentally divide by zero
is this bad?
RE: Random small tirade begins NOW. - Mael - 13 Jul 11
Positive/negative ratio refers to the K/D spread.
RE: Random small tirade begins NOW. - titiPT - 13 Jul 11
I have a negative ratio. -1/1 = -1
